The asking price of €449,500 is below the average sold price of €405,611 in Schinveld, but above the median of €389,500. Given the large plot of 2,855 m² and the 180 m² living space, the price per m² is about €2,498, which is slightly higher than the neighbourhood average of €2,373 per m². So it's priced a bit above the typical per-square-metre rate, but the plot size is exceptional.
The home has an energy label E. This means it is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating and electricity costs compared to a home with a better label. In Schinveld, about 39% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area. You may want to consider energy-saving improvements over time.
The plot measures 2,855 m², which is very spacious for a detached house. This gives you plenty of garden space, room for extensions, a large shed, or even a swimming pool, subject to planning permission. The current home sits on a generous piece of land, offering many possibilities for outdoor living.

Auto-translated to English by AII've lived in Nuth for 19 years – my whole life, in fact! This village feels like a pleasant and familiar place. Everything I need is close by: playgrounds, the library, schools, shops and even the station. I also love walking, and within a few minutes I'm right in the middle of greenery. Ideal!
Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful neighbourhood where many people want to stay. Unfortunately, few houses come up for sale and those that do are often detached and relatively large, making them unaffordable for first-time buyers.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery little is organised outside of carnival. The small bus comes once an hour, it used to be better organised. Rickety Arriva buses. The post office has closed, the nearest one is a village away. It's a closed community, if you move there they don't accept you quickly.
