What a pity, actually. Have you already asked your bank?

Here, you go with an architect who can estimate the costs based on your requirements.

Have you already visited the UG?

I had to laugh at this question. No family needs such a house. Like many other things that are no longer questioned. Ask other people in the world if you need a dressing room, a shower next to the front door, a pantry, a double garage, a kitchen island... We are lying to ourselves if we believe that we "need" all that. We want it. Those who become aware of this do not see the lack of what is missing for the "standard," but the luxury in what we may consider a "problem" as soon as we "need" it and can only get it with sacrifices. By the way, 431 sqm living space is stated.

This includes the 120 sqm swimming pool.

Thank you all for the honest assessments!


The figures come from various renovation calculators that I fed with the basic data. Interesting that these estimates are apparently set far too low – the peculiarities of the house are of course not taken into account.


I consciously do not want to expose us to a higher credit limit; you still have to live. The hint about diminishing marginal utility with such a large area is of course clear to me. Some details like the wall in the swimming pool or the foyer I find extremely great – but of course these can be retrofitted more cheaply in another property.


I actually find it strange that the price is held on so stubbornly, although the house has been online for so long. Apparently, there is no great sales pressure.

Thanks again!

I also like the round staircase in the room. It is a very attractive property. The plot looks well maintained in the pictures. Does someone regularly come by and tidy up the garden? If there is no sales pressure, there could be other motives for selling. It would be interesting to find out who is selling. Perhaps there is a special interest in preservation.

Just use common sense. 300 sqm floor at 50€ + installation costs, adhesive, baseboards, etc. Then what price do you get? Already 15k without removing old tiles, installing, and especially without all walls and ceilings. I would guess that the painter will also charge another 40-60k for that (removing all coverings, filling, possibly sanding, applying new covering/paint).
