Just a few points:
On the plan, the house looked interesting, but in the pictures it looks to me like a demolition candidate.
After your description, I had somehow imagined cozy farmhouse rooms, but it's so far from that.
I don't see anything worth preserving. The staircase is quite nice, but that's it. Most of the floors are also damaged and probably need to be removed for technical reasons.
The house is restorable, but as you said yourself, it’s a complete gut renovation. Almost nothing will be retained.
You have to completely strip it down, certainly reinforce it structurally, and then really start from scratch.
I see costs at a new-build level, possibly even higher. NOTHING is present and EVERYTHING must be stripped and redone.
Therefore, one can basically assume it’s uneconomical.
What I also wonder: You’re currently three people, right? What do you want to do with such a huge bunker? Even if you redesign it very generously, there’s simply a lot of space to maintain and pay for.
This applies even more to the property. As rightly says, it’s a lifelong task to maintain it.
Does the possibility that a few harmless forum members might know your address affect your interest in buying?
Somehow I have the feeling that you don’t really have a clear idea of what you want. You want to get away from the current house, that’s clear.
You say you want to be with your family now. What has actually changed from the situation a few years ago when you built in the north?
Honestly, I think you need to get a bit clearer about what you actually want.
On the one hand, a well-functioning house with fiber optic, air conditioning, and all the other comforts in which you can spend most of your time with home office, child, and gaming.
On the other hand, a huge renovation case on a huge property, the renovation of which will cost you much more nerves and time than you can bear and whose permanent maintenance will be a massive challenge.
That somehow doesn’t fit together for me. I really don’t want to offend you, but maybe you should think about it a bit more.
