Well, we are now here in a house building forum, so I can understand that people who are browsing here and are active have a certain financial cushion and think in different dimensions.
But not everyone is in such a fortunate situation. And if you just barely make ends meet every month, cannot really save, and can hardly build up reserves, then €15,000+ is definitely noticeable.
For example, one could *now* treat their children to quite a bit that otherwise wouldn't be possible. And children are children now and not in 10-20 years. And nice childhood memories *can* be worth more than them inheriting €100,000 more from us when they are 60 years old. But maybe not, that’s exactly what we are thinking about and trying to weigh up: Is there a realistic chance of rezoning in the next 10-20 years or rather not? The old forum thread ( We now also have the cadastral maps, it is 3800sqm) once unanimously said "rather not" (but keep it anyway).
11ant: By the way, you were quite clear that you thought it wouldn’t be rezoned anyway? And what homework do you mean, checking if you can lease it for a solar system? That’s true, we indeed haven’t done that yet...
For leasing for horses, we could roughly expect €500/year in the area, let’s generously assume €1000/year, then we would now roughly receive the lease income for the next 30-40 years...
