Our life project: Single-family house with 800 m² living space

30k after tax is clearly better. If you want to do it —> go for it. I would rather do something else with the money than tie myself to a holiday property for that much money. Just the maintenance alone... But I am looking forward to the further development.

Immowelt often shows cool and special (and also high-priced) properties on FB, such as castles.

Additional costs hide in representative leisure buildings at every turn. Just 72 sets of silver cutlery alone... it adds up. :)

Thanks for the valuable contribution, of course everyone ultimately has to decide for themselves.

At least someone who understands the problem :P

In Bonn there was a great property that the actual owner gave up. Unfortunately, the original owner had to give it up. The Burg Lede in Bonn. Now East Berlin’s in the hands of some investors. Find yourself something like that.

We imagined it as a family seat for family celebrations, etc., where you can also hold larger events without it feeling "tight."

So, Big Manni is said to have been "satisfied" with 500 sqm (in Durlach, however, not within the catchment area of FRA, but close to Baden Airport). Everything you describe sounds to me like a "Lost Place 2040." By the way, I would N.E.V.E.R. get the idea to put my budget for holiday properties into ONE property in GERMANY. And by the way, not to add another 600 sqm just for tax savings to the 200 sqm that are then sufficient for generous living for two adults and two kids from the family house (an effectiveness of which I doubt, by the way), where you then already need a traffic control center for the vacuum robots. Why actually Wetteraukreis? - Vilbel is quite nice, but from Ffm I would rather get to Hofheim, Glashütten or Idstein.
