Since no one has anything to give away for free, the second paragraph is probably the reason :) If that suits someone, it's of course great and saves a ton of money!
So we are city kids and I would never have dreamed of moving away from Mannheim. Now I'm happy when we can get away. Big city, big problems. Small village, no problems (school, kindergarten, etc). And you have your peace, everything within walking distance, the forest is just around the corner, etc.
For saving €100,000, the losses are of course pretty ridiculous! But it’s probably more due to the distance to infrastructure. As soon as you necessarily need a car or even two, prices drop significantly.
