Renovating existing home
One of our first decisions was what to do with the existing home that was on the property. It was 3bdr 2 bth, approximately 30 years old and of moderate quality.
One of us wanted to demo it and put one of the two new homes in it’s place. The other one wanted to save the home, renovate it and keep it as a guest house. That side eventually won. It was ‘greener’ and practical and used the resource we had there.

You should plant some trees in strategic places to (1) act as carbon sinks and (2) provide shade for your house in the summer!

That is a great idea…I am really looking forward to doing the landscaping. We will use native plants with low water needs first. Then exotics (low water) and fill in with some flowering plants as accents.
We are open to ideas!
