About Wijsterseweg 9-12, Spier (Gem. Midden-Drenthe)
The asking price of €225,000 is below the average sold price of €365,750 in the neighbourhood, but the sold homes were likely different in size and condition. Given the large floor area (232 m²) and plot (59,165 m²), the price per m² is about €970, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €1,378 per m². This suggests the price is keen, especially considering the energy label D.
The home has energy label D. This is a moderate rating, meaning the home is not particularly energy-efficient. In the neighbourhood, most available homes have better labels, so heating costs may be higher than average. You can expect to spend more on energy compared to a home with label A or B.
The plot measures 59,165 m², which is nearly 6 hectares. This is an exceptionally large piece of land, offering plenty of space for gardening, keeping animals, or simply enjoying privacy. The exact possibilities depend on local zoning regulations, but the size gives you a lot of freedom.
