Help on family home expansion project

Help on family home expansion project

Blue - front door sloped down 300 ft yard

Red - backdoor from driveway entering den (old carport so below grade of the living room by 3 steps) also, basement runs length of the house but not under den.

Green - septic and field bed.

I need some advice on expanding this 1970 ranch located up on a hill. My family home located in Washington county TN.

It's a 3 bedroom 1.5 bath upstairs. Basement has fully finished room with full bath currently not functional. The sides of the house are off limits due to slope and property setbacks.

My thought was to remove old driveway in back, septic and field beds to relocate further in the backyard (if soil is acceptable) it's a lot of slate so idk.

The kitchen and full bath upstairs are located on that backside of the house. I want to expand the backside to create a larger kitchen, relocate washer and dryer upstairs from basement and add 2 full bedrooms with another full bath. I realize this will call for a larger septic tank.

Anyone have any thoughts on how to get started to accomplish this or other recommendations??
