You will need to regrade the yard, possibly bringing in fill dirt and building a retaining wall to keep it all in place. Once stable, then you can entertain the thought of a patio, fire pit and gazebo. This is a big DIY job, so get some help. You need to make sure that the surface does not create water intrusion issues to your home or any other structure on the property. I would have a few consults with landscape designers for ideas.
