The asking price is €895,000 for 87 m² of living space on a plot of 16,951 m².

Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the land.

The plot measures 16,951 m², which is very large. It offers plenty of space for gardening, keeping animals, or even building a second dwelling, subject to local planning rules. The current house sits on 87 m² of floor area, so the land is the main asset.
