The asking price of €125,000 is well below the neighbourhood average of €669,000, but this home is much older (1883 vs mostly post-1990) and likely needs renovation. The price per m² is about €176, compared to the neighbourhood average of €5,718 per m², reflecting the home's condition. It's a keen price for the space, but factor in renovation costs.
The plot measures 7055 m², which is exceptionally large. It offers plenty of room for a garden, outdoor activities, or even expansion, subject to planning permission. The home itself has 712 m² of floor area, spread over multiple floors. The exact layout is not specified, but the size suggests flexible living space.
The home has an energy label B, which is good for a property built in 1883. It means the home is reasonably energy-efficient, with lower heating costs compared to older homes with poorer labels. However, given its age, you may still want to consider additional insulation or modern heating upgrades.
The nearest train station is 10 km away, so you'll need a car or bicycle to reach it. The area is rural, with limited public transport. For commuting, driving is the most practical option.

How residents experience their municipality
My experience is that it's very quiet in the neighbourhood and always cosy with all the neighbours. There are many young people in the area and there is also a secondary school. It's quite clean, everything is nearby and accessible by public transport, car or bike. The nature is also very beautiful and there is a nice forest here.
