Houses For Sale In Europe (page 2)

This villa for sale in Tavira sits in a gated condominium, ten minutes' walk from the old town, with a private pool and sea views. Villa "Mar" is a detached three-bedroom, three-bathroom house in Quinta da Pegada, a quiet, tree-lined residential area on the edge of Tavira's historic centre. It is sold fully furnished, so you can arrive with a suitcase and be at the pool the same afternoon. For a second home in Portugal, that matters more than most people expect. ### The Villa: Three Floors and a 103 m² Basement The house is built over three floors, with about 149 m² of main living space and a 103 m² basement and garage, 252 m² in total. The main floors hold the three bedrooms, three bathrooms and the living areas. The basement is the part people tend to remember. It is big enough for a car, bikes and beach gear, and it could also work as a hobby room, a games space or a place for guests to spread out. The villa is in good condition, so there is no renovation project waiting for you. The furniture is included, which also makes it simpler to start using the house as a holiday base straight away. ### Pool, Garden and Sea Views on a 356 m² Plot Landscaped gardens surround the private swimming pool, and the plot covers 356 m². There is room for an outdoor dining table, a few sun loungers and a shady corner for a long lunch. From the property you get views towards the sea, which is the kind of detail you notice on the first evening, when you are sitting outside with a glass of something cold and the light goes soft. The house sits inside a gated condominium and has its own parking. If you plan to leave it empty for part of the year, the gated setting is a practical advantage. ### Living in Tavira: The Old Town on Foot ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Maaseik has seven bedrooms and 247 m² of living space on a fenced 1,436 m² plot in the green village of Opoeteren. It was built in 2009, stands detached, and carries energy label B. A paved driveway leads to a metal gate, and behind it the garden wraps around the whole house. For a large family, or for anyone who wants to live and work under one roof, the space is hard to match in this part of Belgian Limburg. ### The House: Seven Bedrooms on Three Floors The ground floor covers about 98 m². You enter through a wide hall with a wooden staircase and a technical cabinet that holds the gas, electricity and water meters. The living room measures 34 m². It has a wood-burning stove and double doors to the garden, plus automatic and manual shutters. Next to it is the 23.6 m² kitchen, fitted with an oven, gas hob, extractor hood, dishwasher, fridge, double sink and a granite worktop. You will also find a storage room, a laundry room with washer and dryer connections and its own garden door, and a separate toilet. One more room on this level, 16.8 m², comes with a kitchenette. It works as a home office, a practice room or a guest bedroom with some independence. The first floor (about 96 m²) has a spacious landing and five bedrooms. Four of them are around 16 m² each. One has an en-suite bathroom of 8 m² with shower, washbasin and toilet. The main bathroom is 11.6 m² and has a bath and a walk-in shower. There is a second separate toilet on this floor. Two more bedrooms are on the second floor (54 m²), one of 36 m² and one of 18 m², both with Velux skylights. ### The 1,436 m² Plot, Garage and Carport The whole plot is fenced, which is useful if you have children or dogs. The garden runs around the house ... click here to read more

This holiday home for sale in Otterup sits in the first row at Hasmark Strand, with Kattegat views and a 10,734 m² plot behind it. At 69 m² it is the largest house type in this stretch of summerhouses, and it has been renovated to a good standard. Step off the terrace and the sand is a few paces away. It suits a buyer who wants a second home in Denmark that is simple to run: two bedrooms, one bathroom, an open living space and a lot of land to keep the neighbours at a comfortable distance. ### The House: 69 m² Facing the Kattegat The living room and kitchen share one open space, so whoever is cooking still sees the water. Large glass doors open from the living area onto the terrace. That is where mornings will probably start, coffee in hand, with the sound of the waves instead of traffic. The kitchen is modern and has plenty of storage, which matters when a whole family arrives with a week of groceries. There are two bedrooms. The main bedroom has its own access to the terrace and a sea view. The second works for children or guests. The bathroom has a shower and modern fixtures. The house was built in 1977 and modernised in 2004. The walls are concrete elements under a concrete tile roof, a low-maintenance build for a house this close to the coast. Heating comes from electric radiators, and a wood-burning stove covers the cooler evenings. ### Over a Hectare of Land by the Beach The plot measures 10,734 m², just over one hectare. That is a lot of ground for a beachfront holiday home on Funen, and it gives you real privacy. The garden is described as easy to maintain, which is what you want from a house you will not be at every week. There is room for games, a vegetable patch or simply open space between you and the ... click here to read more

This chalet for sale in Agder sits on a 1,161 m² freehold plot by Store Reiårsvatn, with a private borehole, a sauna and a wood-burning stove. It is a simple 1978 cabin at about 530 metres above sea level, in a cabin area used for walking, swimming and skiing through the seasons. The veranda looks out over forested hills. Standards are basic and some renovation is needed, which is reflected in the price. For anyone who wants a cabin in Norway to use this summer and improve at their own pace, it deserves a look. ### The Cabin and Its 1,161 m² Plot Inside, the 67 m² layout is straightforward. The living room has a wood-burning stove and a heat pump, plus large windows that bring in the light and frame the forest. The dining area sits in front of a row of windows and opens directly to the kitchen, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. The kitchen has pine cabinets, a laminate worktop and a stainless steel sink. There are two bedrooms. One holds a double bed and a bunk bed, so a family of four can sleep there without fuss. The other has room for single beds and looks out toward the entrance. You also get a sauna, two storage rooms, a hallway and a separate toilet room. From the living room you step straight onto the veranda, which is where the morning coffee will happen. Outside, the plot is owned outright and has garden space for children, a fire pit or a vegetable bed. There is a woodshed for the winter supply and a detached annex with a covered entrance, which could serve as storage or, with some work, extra sleeping space. Furnishings and items currently in the cabin and on the plot are included in the sale, so you can arrive with little more than a bag of food. ### Water, Heating and Renovation: Wha ... click here to read more

This farmhouse for sale in Ambierle, Loire, has 105 m² of renovated living space, three bedrooms and 2,500 m² of fenced grounds with a large barn. Two old cottages were joined into one home, which explains the two stone-stepped entrances, the pair of big fireplaces and a layout that suits family and guests equally well. It faces south, sits behind a double gate on a quiet municipal lane, and comes with more covered outbuilding space than most buyers know what to do with. ### The Farmhouse: Two Cottages Made One You come in to a fully equipped kitchen with a central island, heated by a combined wood and pellet stove. Off it are a pantry and a separate toilet, where the original bread oven has been kept as a feature. The dining area next door has solid wooden floors, and beyond it is a north-facing bedroom with its own bathroom. That makes a convenient ground-floor room for guests or for anyone who prefers to avoid stairs. A few steps up, through double glass doors, the living room has a wood-burning stove set into a stone fireplace, repointed stone walls, thick plank flooring and heavy ceiling beams. Under the dining room and part of the living room is a cellar, useful for wine and vegetables. An open staircase climbs to a mezzanine with original flooring and a skylight, a natural spot for a desk or a reading corner. From there you reach a bathroom with a skylight and two more bedrooms, one with a skylight and one with a small windowed door. That gives three bedrooms and two bathrooms in total. ### Outbuildings and 2,500 m² of Fenced Land The plot is fully fenced and edged with hedges, with a double gate for vehicles and a wrought-iron gate for walkers. Inside are gravel parking areas and grassy stretches with matur ... click here to read more

This country home for sale in Trøndelag sits on Otterøya near Namsos, 400 metres from the sea with a view across to the island of Jøa. It has three bedrooms, a detached double garage and a 1,506 m² natural plot. The house began as a holiday cabin and has been extended twice, so it is now roomier than most second homes in this part of Norway. The address is in the rural Årnes area, with scattered housing and no neighbours close enough to hear. Namsos is under 30 minutes away by car, which makes this a quiet base that still has a proper town within reach. ### Country Home in Trøndelag: Layout and Condition The extensions date from 1997 and 2012, and the 2012 work added the most. The ground floor has an open living room with large windows facing the water. A wood-burning stove and a heat pump share the heating, so you can light the stove on a dark evening and let the heat pump keep the house at a steady temperature when you are away. Next to the living room is a dining area by the window, where you eat with the view in front of you. The kitchen was upgraded around 2012. It has white profiled fronts and integrated appliances. A glass door separates the entrance hall from the living room, which keeps wet boots and jackets out of the main room. This is useful in a climate that gives you plenty of both. The ground floor also has a bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a bathroom with laundry space. The bathroom has a shower cabin and electric underfloor heating. Upstairs, the loft is clad in pine panelling and holds two more bedrooms, a landing and storage space in the knee walls. Three bedrooms and 96 m² suit a family, or two couples sharing a summer week. The seller describes the home as well maintained, and the data lists ... click here to read more

This villa for sale in Maasmechelen, Limburg, was built in 2024 and stands on a 710 m² fenced plot with solar panels and a heat pump. You can move in without picking up a paintbrush. The house has 243 m² of living space, three bedrooms upstairs and a ground-floor room that could become a fourth. The rear garden faces southeast, so the morning sun reaches the terrace area first. For a family that wants a modern Belgian house with the technical work already done, this is a straightforward choice. ### The House: 243 m² of Modern Living Space The entrance hall opens straight onto the main living area. Living room, dining space and kitchen share one open plan, and large windows and sliding doors bring in daylight and lead out to the garden. The kitchen is the room you will notice first. It has a ceramic worktop with thickened edges, an induction hob, a Novy extractor hood, an oven, a microwave, a dishwasher and a Bauknecht fridge. A Quooker boiling-water tap and power outlets built into the worktop are already installed. A discreet door leads to a utility room, which can also be reached from outside, so muddy boots and garden tools never need to cross the living room. Next to the living area is a room currently used as a playroom. Plumbing for a shower is already in place, so it can be converted into a ground-floor bedroom with its own bathroom. That helps if grandparents move in or guests stay for a while. The ground floor also has a technical room and a separate guest toilet. ### Bedrooms, Bathroom and Technology Three bedrooms sit on the first floor, two of them with built-in wardrobes, and USB outlets are fitted in the bedrooms. The bathroom has a double washbasin, a heated mirror, a large walk-in shower and a bath ... click here to read more

This red timber country home for sale in Småland, near Forserum, has stayed in one family since the 1700s and has never been on the open market. The farmstead is known as Finneryd Frälsegården, and it has passed down through the generations. Inside are 85 m² of living space, wide plank floors, a wood-burning stove, a baking oven and two fireplaces. Outside you get lawns, traditional wooden fences and a plot of 2,554 m². It is a quiet place, and the seasons set the rhythm of the day. ### The Timber House at Finneryd The ground floor holds a kitchen and dining area, a living room, a bedroom and a hallway. At the back, an extended entrance leads to the bathroom. Upstairs there are three to four more rooms. Some buyers will turn them into bedrooms, others into a guest room or a home office. The layout is flexible enough to follow your plans rather than dictate them. The house is in good condition and has been looked after steadily. The back of the house was extended in the 1970s. A well was drilled in 1991 and a three-chamber septic system was installed in 1994. In 2013 the house and the outbuilding were renovated on the outside. All the vertical wood paneling was replaced, along with the fascia boards and parts of the sheet metal work, and new windows went in at the same time. For anyone weighing up a timber house in Sweden, that is the sort of maintenance history worth asking about. ### Outbuildings and 2,554 m² of Land Several outbuildings come with the plot. There is an older storage building, a spacious root cellar, a small building that houses the water system and a newer storage shed. A workshop or hobby space could fit into one of them, though that is for you to judge on a visit. The garden is large enough for ... click here to read more

A 133 m² house for sale in Ruelle-sur-Touvre, Charente, with five bedrooms, a garage and a private garden, close to Angoulême. Built in the 1970s and kept in good order, it stands on a quiet residential street where the shops, the schools and the local market are all within walking distance. The asking price is €180,900, which buys a lot of room in this part of France. ### A 1970s Family House on a Quiet Street This is a townhouse spread over two levels, and it has been looked after. Recent renovations, double glazing, electric shutters and air conditioning are already in place. What is left is cosmetic: fresh paint, perhaps new flooring, a kitchen finish chosen to suit you. You can move in first and decide on the details over the first winter. The garden surrounds the house and gives it real privacy. At 389 m² the plot is big enough for a table outside, a few vegetable beds or somewhere for children to play, yet small enough to keep tidy without giving up your weekends. ### Inside: Five Bedrooms Over Two Levels On the first level you come into an entrance hall, then the living-dining room. A bay window floods it with light, a French door opens on the garden side, and there is a fireplace for the colder months. The kitchen is separate, so cooking smells and dinner-party chaos stay out of the main room. A hallway leads to the sleeping area, set apart from the living space. It holds three bedrooms, a bathroom, a separate WC and one extra room that could become a dressing room. On the ground floor are two more bedrooms, recently fitted out, with their own shower room. That makes a natural spot for teenagers, a guest suite or a home office. This level also has a large garage with a PVC door, a laundry and boiler room ... click here to read more

This one-bedroom house for sale in Bergshamra, near Norrtälje, sits on a flat 1,338 m² plot with a southwest-facing covered terrace. It is a single-storey home of 54 m², built in 1977 and kept up to date since, in the Enviken area of Roslagen and about 75 minutes by car from Stockholm. Small enough to lock up for a week, big enough to live in all year. That makes it an easy base whether you want a year-round house in Roslagen or a second home in Sweden. ### The House: 54 m² on One Level You step straight into a bright living room with an open-plan kitchen. The kitchen was renovated in 2016 and updated again in 2020, so there is nothing to do before cooking the first meal. Glass doors lead from the living area onto the covered terrace, which faces southwest and catches the sun through the long Swedish summer evenings. The bedroom is large for a house this size. If you need more sleeping space for children or guests, it can be divided into two smaller rooms. The bathroom was also renovated in 2016. The house connects to municipal water and sewage, so there is no well or private drain to look after, which matters if you will not be here every weekend. Outside stands a storage shed of about 10 m², renovated in 2021, plus a garage tent. Between them you have room for bicycles, garden tools, outdoor furniture or a car through the winter. ### A 1,338 m² Plot with Flat Lawns The plot mixes garden and natural ground. The lawns are large and level, so there is space for a football game, a barbecue with friends or a vegetable bed without tackling a slope. Mowing is the main chore, and you can set the pace yourself. The community playground is only about 135 metres away. Families with young children can let them walk there, a ... click here to read more

This 3-bedroom villa for sale in Quelfes, Algarve, sits on 2.6 hectares of land just inland from Olhão and the Ria Formosa lagoon. The house is compact at 77 m², but the plot is the real story: 26,480 m² of space, offered at 698,000 EUR, in a part of Portugal where land of this size close to the coast is not easy to come by. ### The Villa and Its 2.6 Hectares The living area is 77 m², arranged as three bedrooms and one bathroom. That suits a couple, a small family or two couples sharing: easy to keep cool in July, easy to heat in January, easy to lock up and leave between visits. The condition is listed as good, so this is not a restoration project. Finishes, kitchen and bathroom are things to judge in person. The land changes the picture. At roughly 2.6 hectares, this is far more than a garden. Many people who buy plots like this in the eastern Algarve plant fruit trees, grow vegetables, keep a few animals or simply enjoy the privacy and the silence. The data we have does not list a pool, outbuildings or views, so we won't promise any. What we can do is get you the practical details: boundaries, access road, water supply, what is already growing on the plot. If you are already picturing a pool, a guest studio or an orchard, remember that anything you add depends on how the land is classified and on municipal planning rules. A Portuguese lawyer or architect should check this before you commit, not after. ### Living in Quelfes and Around Olhão Quelfes is a village in the municipality of Olhão, in the Faro district of the eastern Algarve. Day to day, Olhão is your town. It is a working fishing port with market halls on the waterfront, cafés along the seafront gardens and a good choice of seafood restaurants. It is al ... click here to read more

This chalet for sale in Valdres stands at 960 metres near Leira, with 1.8 hectares of private land and wide mountain views. It is a 103 m² log cabin from 1950 with two bedrooms, a later extension and two annexes. Groomed cross-country ski trails begin 800 metres away, and a year-round road runs right to the cabin. ### The Cabin: Log Walls from 1950, Extension from 2013 The original building is traditional Norwegian lafted timber, and you notice it as soon as you step in. The living room has solid wood floors, a high ceiling, wood-panelled walls and exposed beams. Big windows face the mountains, so the view is there even when you are sitting on the sofa. A wood-burning stove handles the cold evenings. The kitchen is in the 1950s part of the house. It was refitted with solid wood cabinets painted blue and has a gas stove, a gas fridge and an inset sink. Next to it is a dining room with space for a large table and a built-in fireplace with an insert. In 2013 the cabin was extended, and the bathroom sits in this newer section, with tiled floors, wood panelling and a shower cabin with a proper drain. There are two bedrooms with two single beds each, so four sleeping places in the main building. The cabin is in good condition and is sold partially furnished. You could realistically arrive with bags and groceries rather than a removal van. ### Two Terraces, Morning Sun and Evening Sun The living room opens onto an east-facing terrace, which suits the first coffee of the day. The dining room leads to a west-facing terrace for the late sun. Together the two terraces add up to 30 m², enough for a dining table and a few chairs. Most mountain cabins have one orientation to live with, and this one gives you both. ### Power, Wa ... click here to read more

This single-storey villa for sale in Almancil gives you four bedrooms, a pool and an outdoor kitchen on a 700 m² plot in the central Algarve. Everything sits on one level, behind a gate, with mature greenery around the house and a cobblestone driveway that sets a traditional Portuguese tone before you reach the front door. It is in good condition, so you can move in and start using the pool rather than planning a renovation. ### The Villa: 177 m² on One Level The living area totals 177 m², and the layout is simple to live in. The open-plan living and dining room is the main space. It has a fireplace, large windows and light-toned tile flooring that keeps the room bright and cool in summer. On a winter evening the fireplace gives you a reason to stay in. The kitchen has white cabinetry, an integrated oven and microwave, and a warm wooden preparation counter that adds some colour to the room. It opens naturally towards the dining area, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. The bedrooms are finished in a clean, minimal style: white walls, built-in sliding wardrobes and windows facing the garden. The primary bedroom measures 16 m². With three bathrooms, a family or two couples sharing a holiday home will not be queuing in the morning. The bathrooms are the part of the house people remember. They combine multi-coloured patchwork mosaic tiling with plain white wall tiles, and the walk-in showers are glass-enclosed. ### Outdoors: Pool, Outdoor Kitchen and Garden The pool and outdoor kitchen are at the back of the house, away from the gated front entrance. That is where an Algarve summer is spent: grilling something simple, eating outside late, and swimming before breakfast. The garden is mature and green, ... click here to read more

This 2-bedroom townhouse for sale in La Marina, San Fulgencio, comes with its own private pool and a top-floor solarium, fully furnished. Furniture, air conditioning and a pool are already in place, so you can arrive with a suitcase and be settled by the evening. One point to settle early: community rules for this property do not allow a tourist rental licence, so it cannot be used for short-term holiday lets. It is a home for you, your family and your guests, and that shapes who it suits best. ### The Townhouse: Layout, Light and Air Conditioning The house has 77 m² of living area, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main living-dining room is the room you will use most. It is bright, and the property faces southeast, so the sun arrives early and the room is well lit through the morning. The seller describes the interior as being in impeccable condition, and the property is rated good in our data. Air conditioning is installed, which matters from June to September on this part of the Costa Blanca. Both bedrooms are generously sized, and having two bathrooms means two couples can share the house without queuing in the morning. Everything is furnished, so there is no shipping of sofas and no weekend spent assembling wardrobes. ### Private Pool, Plot and Rooftop Solarium The townhouse stands on its own plot of 102 m², and a good share of that is given to a private pool. It is a pool you can use at seven in the morning in your swimsuit without anyone else around. If you want more space to swim or a change of scene, the residential community also has a large communal pool. From the main living areas you can climb to the solarium on the top floor. It has wide views and a good degree of privacy, which makes it a natural ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Herøy, Nordland, sits on a flat 1,292 m² plot about 100 metres from the sea, with a south-facing balcony. Built in 1979 as a traditional Norwegian cabin, it is in good condition and offers 88 m² of wood-panelled living space, three rooms upstairs and a wood stove for the cooler months. For anyone looking at a holiday home on the Helgeland coast, it is a straightforward and practical way into Norway real estate. ### The House: 88 m² of Classic Cabin Living The main level is an open-plan living room and kitchen, which is where everyone ends up anyway. The living room has untreated wood panelling, large windows and a wood-burning stove connected to a masonry chimney. A balcony door leads straight out to the south-facing balcony, so a morning coffee in the sun is a few steps away. The kitchen is practical rather than showy: profiled cabinet fronts, a laminate countertop and a tiled backsplash. There is room for a dining table by the window, looking out over the garden, and the ventilator vents directly through the exterior wall. The bathroom is bright, with a window, a bathroom cabinet, a recessed sink, an illuminated mirror and a panel heater. The shower cabin was installed recently. The entrance hall has a tiled floor and panelled walls, a sensible place for wet boots and coats. A staircase from the living room takes you up to the loft. A wood-panelled hall there leads to three finished rooms, which work as bedrooms for a family or a group of friends, or as a mix of sleeping space and hobby room. ### The 1,292 m² Plot, Two Balconies and the Sea The plot is privately owned, flat and well kept, with a mix of lawn and natural terrain. That is enough room for a vegetable bed, a fire pit, children ... click here to read more

This chalet for sale in Telemark sits at 326 metres above Hovin, with a 32 m² veranda facing Blefjell and a short walk down to Sandvatn. It is a small, one-level cabin on a quiet plot of heather, moss and rock, sold fully furnished, with a car road running right up to it. At €95,000 it suits anyone looking for a second home in Norway where the main attractions are the lake, the mountain and the silence. ### The Chalet: 39 m² on One Level Inside, it is a classic Norwegian hytte. The floors are lacquered wood, the walls and ceilings are panelled, and the large living room windows frame the view toward Blefjell. An open fireplace sits in the corner. The kitchen has a Jøtul wood stove connected to a brick chimney, so you have two ways to warm the place when an evening turns cold. Kitchen fittings are a solid wood countertop, overhead cabinets and a stainless steel sink, and swing doors open straight into the living room. There are two bedrooms. The main one has a corner wardrobe. The second is smaller but sleeps two, which works for a family or two couples who don't mind close quarters. Electricity is installed and the condition is good. Furniture is included, so you could arrive with a bag of groceries and have the stove lit the same evening. ### Veranda, Leased Plot and Outbuilding The veranda is the part of this cabin you will use most. It measures about 32 m², partly open and partly covered, and the covered section received a new wooden floor in 2025. Breakfast in the morning sun, dinner under the roof if the weather turns, and a clear look across the forest to Blefjell as the light fades. The plot is 1,500 m² and leased rather than owned, so ask for the lease terms, duration and annual fee before you commit. The ... click here to read more

This chalet for sale in Akershus sits in Enebakkneset, a furnished 1958 cabin with two annexes on 891 m² of land beside the forest. It is a small, plain, honest place, and that is the appeal. You arrive, open the door, and everything you need for a weekend is already inside. The garden is fenced off from the world by a private road with a barrier, and the nearest neighbours are other cabin owners who come for the same reasons you will: quiet, trees and a slower pace. ### The Cabin: 32 m² Built in 1958 The main building dates from 1958 and has a simple, functional standard. The listing records 32 m² of living area, made up of 28 m² inside and 4 m² of external space. It is in good condition and is sold with its furniture, so you can bring a bag of groceries and start using it straight away. The living room is the centre of the cabin. A fireplace takes the chill off cooler evenings, and there is room for a sofa corner and a dining table in the same space. The kitchen has the basics for holiday cooking and some storage. Through the kitchen you reach a sleeping alcove that fits a large bed, which makes this a one-bedroom holiday home. The bathroom has a shower cabin and keeps to the same no-frills standard. The cabin has electricity and summer water. Please read that literally: water is a seasonal service here, so this is a place for the warmer months and for shorter visits outside them, not a year-round residence. ### Annexes, Terraces and the 891 m² Plot Beyond the main cabin stand two freestanding annexes of 8 m² and 13 m². They have been measured but not condition-assessed, so plan to look them over yourself. Owners often use buildings like these for guests, as a storeroom for bikes and fishing gear, or as a quiet ... click here to read more

This single-storey house for sale in Gers, at Saint-Aunix-Lengros, stands on 1.8 hectares with solar panels, its own well and a jacuzzi terrace. Everything is on one level, the energy label is A, and the land is big enough for horses, sheep or a serious vegetable garden. It is a practical country house more than a showpiece. The heating, hot water and electricity have all been updated in the last few years, so a buyer can move in and spend the first summer outside rather than on a building site. ### The House: 169 m² on One Level The living room measures 32 m² and has a fireplace with an insert, which is where you will spend most winter evenings. The kitchen is a separate room of the same size, and a door leads straight from it onto the rear terrace. Breakfast outside is easy to arrange. There are four bedrooms, at roughly 15.5 m², 15.5 m², 18.2 m² and 19 m². They are genuinely large, so children, guests or a home office will not feel squeezed. A single bathroom serves the house, which is worth knowing if you plan to host a full family. Some rooms need refreshing with paint and finishes, but the overall condition is good. A closed garage and workshop of 36 m² completes the house. The single-storey layout also makes it easy to live in at any age, with no stairs between kitchen, bedrooms and garden. ### Land, Terrace and Outbuildings The plot totals 17,796 m². Part of it is built up and the majority is agricultural land, which suits keeping animals. Neighbouring fields are also farmland, so nobody looks into the garden. Existing dependencies include a kennel, a carport and a chicken coop. The 54 m² terrace at the back holds a jacuzzi, and it is included in the sale. Picture an evening soak with open fields in front ... click here to read more

This country home for sale in Haute-Vienne, near Saint-Jean-Ligoure, comes with three gîtes, three B&B rooms and 3.4 hectares of private land. The estate is set up as a working holiday complex. A 328 m² main house holds the owners' private rooms and a three-room bed and breakfast. Three self-contained gîtes stand around a central courtyard. Condition is good, and renovation work on the buildings is still going on. In total you get 557 m² of living space, 12 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, so it works as a business, a large family base, or both. ### The Main House and Courtyard A private driveway leads into the courtyard, with the buildings arranged around it. The main house has two separate front doors, one for the owners and one for B&B guests, so the two sides of life rarely cross. The owners' side centres on an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area with oak flooring and a wood-burning stove. Upstairs is the owners' suite: a large bedroom with en-suite bathroom and a dressing room that could double as a second bedroom.

This farmhouse for sale in Algarve sits on 2.7 hectares between Estoi and São Brás de Alportel, about 15 to 20 minutes from Faro airport. It is a traditional stone farmhouse, built before 1951 and extended and renovated in 2024, so you get old walls with new systems behind them. Everything is on one level: 170 m² of living space, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and enough land that the neighbours are a wave across the fields rather than a noise through the wall. ### The Farmhouse and Its 2.7 Hectares The heart of the house is an open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, laid out to pull in as much daylight as possible and open the room towards the countryside. Ceilings are high, which keeps the stone house feeling airy in the Algarve summer. There are three double bedrooms and three bathrooms, so guests or family can each have their own space. A balcony gives you somewhere to take your morning coffee and look out over the land. The 2024 works were not only cosmetic. The house now has double glazing, full insulation, energy-rated windows, air conditioning and solar-powered hot water. For anyone planning to spend winters here as well as summers, those details matter more than a new kitchen. The property is in good condition, and the floor plans show the exact room layout and dimensions. Then there is the land: 27,000 m² (about 6.6 acres) of rural plot, shaped into several terraces and planted with mature trees. A private borehole is in place. From the terraces the view runs towards São Brás de Alportel. It is a big plot, so think about how you would use it, whether that is a garden, a few more trees or simply space left alone. ### Living Between Estoi and São Brás de Alportel A farmhouse in Estoi puts you in one o ... click here to read more

This single-storey house for sale in Charente stands in Aussac-Vadalle, with three bedrooms, an office and a 1,500 m² plot. It was built in 2013, everything is on one level, and the condition is good, so there is no renovation list waiting for you. For buyers shopping for France real estate they can move into rather than rescue, that matters. The village is quiet, yet Mansle is about 10 minutes away, Champniers about 15, and the main roads are quick to reach. ### A Single-Storey House Built in 2013 The house has 106 m² of living space on a single floor. That suits families with small children, owners who want to avoid stairs, and anyone planning to stay for decades. The main room is a large, bright living room that opens onto a fitted kitchen, so the cook stays part of the conversation. There are three bedrooms, plus a separate office that can double as a fourth bedroom when guests arrive or the family grows. A shower room and a separate WC cover the bathroom side. A pantry and laundry room keeps the washing machine and the bulk shopping out of the kitchen, and the attached garage gives you covered parking or a workshop corner. Outside, the plot measures 1,500 m². That is room for a vegetable patch, a play area for the children, or a terrace you design yourself, and it is still a lawn you can mow in an afternoon. The seller describes the setting as sunny and calm. ### Living in Aussac-Vadalle and the Charente Countryside Aussac-Vadalle is a small rural commune in the Charente département, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, which many buyers still know as Poitou-Charentes. Days here are quiet. Schools are close by and organised as an RPI, the system in which neighbouring villages share school sites, and everyday ame ... click here to read more

This country home for sale in Halden, Østfold sits on a private 6,118 m² plot, a ten-minute walk from the Ørsjøen lake. Built in 1986 and kept in good order, it is a 138 m² leisure home with a large basement, an open fireplace and room for a proper garden. It suits a family looking for a second home in Norway, or anyone who wants a base for swimming, fishing and hiking close to the Swedish border. ### The House: 138 m² Plus a 67 m² Basement The main floor is built around a living room with large windows, enough wall space for a sofa group and television, and an open fireplace for winter evenings. Floors in the living room and kitchen are wood, and the walls are clad in rustic timber panelling, so the house feels like a cabin rather than a suburban villa. The kitchen has profiled cabinets, a laminate worktop and a cooker hood with external extraction. There are two bedrooms, both spacious with good storage. The main bedroom has plenty of wardrobe space. A third room is currently used for sleeping, but it is not approved for permanent habitation, so treat it as a guest room, home office or hobby room rather than an extra official bedroom. The bathroom has a bathtub, washbasin and toilet, with a tiled floor and electric underfloor heating. Then there is the basement. At about 67 m² with good ceiling height, it is divided into four rooms and can be entered from inside the house and from outside. Most buyers will use it for storage and outdoor gear at first, but the layout leaves room for further development. Counting the 52 m² of external usable area, the total usable space comes to 190 m². ### Plot, Water Supply and Year-Round Access The land is privately owned and covers about 6,118 m². That is enough for a vegetable ... click here to read more

This country home for sale in Södermanland sits on a 1,400 m² green plot near Sköldinge, with a compact 25 m² cottage priced at about €43,250. The land is the real draw here. It gives you room for a vegetable patch, a fire pit and a hammock between two trees, with grass left over for children to run around on. It is a classic Swedish fritidshus, the kind of small cottage people keep for weekends, summer weeks and quiet autumn visits. The price makes it an easy first step into Sweden real estate. ### The Country Home and Its 1,400 m² Garden Inside, the cottage has two rooms. The main one combines living and dining space, with room for a sofa and a table. The bedroom is a separate room, and there is one bathroom. The style is traditional, with wooden details, and large windows face the garden. Morning coffee at the table means looking straight out at the trees and the lawn. The house is in good condition and has been looked after. Buyers who like to put their own stamp on a place will find scope to update and customise, since the footprint is small and any project stays manageable. Outside, the plot is lush, with mature trees and open grassy areas that give a good sense of privacy. It is big enough for barbecues with friends, a play area or a serious vegetable garden, and still feels like a quiet corner of the countryside. ### Living Near Sköldinge and Katrineholm Sköldinge lies in Katrineholm Municipality, in the south of Södermanland County. The setting is rural, with forests, lakes and walking trails all around. Locals cycle, fish, swim in the lakes in summer and hike through the woods. Julita Gård, the open-air estate museum in Katrineholm Municipality, is a popular day out nearby. For everyday needs, the town ... click here to read more

This chalet for sale in Venabygd stands at about 947 metres on Venabygdsfjellet, with groomed ski trails and hiking paths right on hand. It is a single-level mountain cabin of 121 m² with three bedrooms, two living rooms and a 46 m² southwest-facing terrace. The freehold plot of 1,397 m² gives you room to park, garden and spread out. It is in good condition, with a fireplace, a wood-burning stove and a heat pump already installed. ### The Chalet: One Level, Two Living Rooms Everything sits on one floor, which makes this an easy cabin to live in. That suits small children, older relatives and anyone arriving with skis and heavy bags. You step into an entrance hall that leads to two separate living rooms. Both have exposed timber walls and solid wood floors, and the large windows face the mountain landscape. The kitchen opens onto the living area, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. It was updated in 2010 with new cabinet fronts and a tiled backsplash, and it has integrated appliances. A wood-burning stove stands in the kitchen too, which is a welcome thing on a January morning. The sleeping wing is reached along a panelled hallway with a wooden floor. All three bedrooms have solid wood floors and panelled surfaces, and each is large enough for a double bed. One is laid out to hold a double bed and a bunk bed together, so a family of five or six can sleep here without anyone on the sofa. The single bathroom has a curved shower wall, a vanity with storage underneath and a vinyl floor that is easy to keep clean. The 200-litre water heater dates from 2010. ### Heating, Upgrades and Condition At this altitude, heating decides how comfortable the cabin is. This one has three sources: a traditional open f ... click here to read more

This three-bedroom house for sale in Lussac-les-Châteaux puts 145 m² of living space and a courtyard garden a few steps from the town's shops. At €99,000 it is a lot of house for the money: a 22 m² lounge with an open fireplace, three bedrooms upstairs and an attic big enough to rethink. It is in good condition, and what remains to do is mostly cosmetic. ### The House: 145 m² Over Three Levels The ground floor starts with an entrance hall and a living room. Beyond it is the lounge, 22 m² with oak flooring and a fireplace, which is the room you will want on a November evening. The 17 m² kitchen opens straight onto the garden, so in summer you can cook with the door wide open and carry dinner outside. A bathroom and a separate WC finish the level. Upstairs there are three bedrooms. Above them sits a large attic described as convertible. A fourth bedroom, a studio or a play space are the obvious ideas, though any conversion would need the usual checks on headroom, insulation and planning permission. The house has a heat pump and an energy label of C, which is a solid result for an older village property. The previous owners have left it in good order. A little fresh paint and a few decorative choices would make it yours, and you would not need to gut anything first. ### Courtyard, Lawn and Outbuildings The plot is 351 m², compact enough to look after from a distance and big enough to use. There is a courtyard, a lawn, and outbuildings for bikes, tools, garden furniture or a workshop corner. It is a manageable outdoor space for a second home in France, where you want to arrive, open the shutters and sit outside rather than spend the weekend mowing. ### Living in Lussac-les-Châteaux Lussac-les-Châteaux is a small town ... click here to read more

This villa for sale in Vila do Bispo is a two-bedroom semi-detached village house in Raposeira, a short drive from the Algarve's west coast beaches. It sits in a quiet village just minutes from Vila do Bispo town, in good condition, and is priced at 180,000 EUR. The scale suits a buyer who wants a manageable second home in the western Algarve: 54 m² of living space, a terrace and a balcony, and no big garden to look after while you are away. ### The House in Raposeira Raposeira is a small, traditional village in the municipality of Vila do Bispo, the westernmost municipality on the Algarve coast. Life here runs at village pace. You will hear neighbours more than traffic, and the nearest cafés and shops are a short drive away in Vila do Bispo itself. The house is semi-detached and stands on a compact 60 m² plot. That makes it a lock-up-and-leave property: close the shutters, hand the key to a neighbour or a local caretaker, and fly home. It is listed in good condition, so the first summer can be spent at the beach rather than with builders. A viewing will tell you how much you would want to personalise. ### Inside: Layout, Terrace and Balcony The main living space is a large living room, which is generous for a house of this size. Next to it is an equipped kitchen, so you can cook from the first evening. There is one bathroom with a shower. The two bedrooms are on different levels. One is on the ground floor, which is useful for guests or anyone who prefers to avoid stairs at night. The other is in the attic, a good option for a private retreat or for children. The house also has an outdoor terrace and a balcony. Think breakfast outside in the morning, and a glass of something cold on the balcony once the day cools ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Côtes-d'Armor sits near Plémet and comes with four bedrooms, a stone-walled living room and a 1,039 m² enclosed garden. It is a renovated stone house with a new roof, a wood-burning stove and gas central heating. A two-storey garage and a former gîte add room to grow. Inland Brittany is quieter and far cheaper than the coast, and this house shows what that buys you: 123 m² of living space, a big plot and a village with its own lake. ### The House: 123 m² of Stone, Four Bedrooms You come in through an entrance hall that leads straight to the living room. The exposed stone walls are the first thing you notice, and the wood-burning stove is the second. On a wet Breton evening, which you will get, that corner is where everyone ends up. The kitchen/diner is large, big enough for a proper table and for cooking while others sit and talk. A downstairs cloakroom saves a trip upstairs. Gas central heating runs through the house, so it stays comfortable outside the summer months and is easy to leave ticking over if you only visit now and then. There are four bedrooms, which makes the layout easy for a family, for visiting friends, or for a home office alongside the guest rooms. There is one bathroom. If you have a larger group in mind, that is the one thing to weigh up. The house is in good condition, and the renovation included a new roof, usually the biggest single expense on an old stone building. ### Garden, Garage and the Former Gîte The garden is enclosed and covers about 1,039 m². That is enough for a vegetable patch, a lawn for children, and a table outside for long summer lunches. Because it is fenced, young children and dogs can play without constant supervision. The garage is on two floors. ... click here to read more

This renovated 4-bedroom villa for sale in Samsø has sea and Stauns Fjord views from several rooms and 327 m² of living space. It stands on the road to Besser Rev, with open island countryside around it and a landscaped garden of 2,176 m². The house dates from 1887 and was extensively renovated in 2024. The old proportions are still there, but the kitchen, bathrooms and heating have been modernised, and the owners chose their materials with care. ### A Renovated 1887 House on Samsø The walls are brick and wood under a metal roof, a combination that suits an exposed island setting. Inside, continuous solid Dinesen Douglas fir flooring runs through the house, and underfloor heating keeps it comfortable. An air-to-water heat pump supplies the heat, and the energy label is B. For an older building of this size, that is a useful figure to see. The former carriage house is now a roomy entrance hall that leads to the main hall and the staircase. Off the entrance you will find a utility area with a scullery, a laundry room and a toilet. There is also an extra room that the owners currently use as a shop. In total the house has eight rooms, four bedrooms, two bathrooms and four toilets. ### Inside: Kitchen, Living Room and Yoga Studio The kitchen and dining area is the centre of the house. The kitchen has solid Douglas fir fronts, Japanese mosaic tiles, a Corian worktop, a Quooker tap and fully integrated Miele appliances. Doors open straight onto the south- and west-facing terraces, so breakfast outside and a late supper in the evening sun are both easy. The living room opens onto the kitchen. It has a Lotus fireplace and large windows that frame the sea. Two bedrooms and a large bathroom with Vola fixtures complete the g ... click here to read more

This holiday home for sale in Lønstrup sits in the first row of dunes, with open North Sea views from a 1,425 m² natural plot. Between the house and the water there is only dune grass and a protected shoreline. The west-facing terrace gets the sunset over the sea with no neighbouring roof in sight, and the east terrace catches the first light for morning coffee. It is a compact, single-level Danish summer house with three bedrooms and a loft, and the cafés and galleries of Lønstrup village are a walk away. ### The House: 67 m² on One Level The house was built in 1983 in the classic way, with a wooden frame and a fibre cement roof. Everything is on one floor, which keeps it easy to run for a family with small children or for older relatives. The listing describes the condition as good. The open-plan kitchen and living room is the main space. Large windows face the dunes and the sea, so the weather is part of the room. The kitchen is fully equipped. There are three bedrooms and one bathroom with a shower and a flushing toilet. A ladder from the living area leads up to a loft (a hems, in Danish), which works as extra sleeping space or a hideaway for the children. Heating is by electric radiators. Fibre internet is connected, with speeds up to 1000/1000 Mbit/s, which matters if you want to work from the coast for a few weeks or let to guests who expect decent wifi. ### Dunes, Terraces and 1,425 m² of Natural Plot The plot is not a clipped lawn. It is covered in dune grass and native vegetation and runs into the surrounding landscape, so the sense of space and privacy is real. There is room to play, sunbathe or just sit out of the wind. The shoreline in front of the house has coastal protection. According to Danish pub ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Stadtlohn in the western Münsterland is split into two self-contained units, each with its own entrance and garden. That layout is the whole point of the place. A family can live downstairs and let the upstairs, grandparents can have their own front door, or a household of five can knock the two units back into one large home. It sits on a 768 m² plot with about 171 m² of living space, three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and it comes with a carport and a basement. ### Two Units Under One Roof The house dates from 1962 and was extended in 1993. The seller also reports a modernisation, dated 2026 in the listing details. Ask for documents showing exactly what was done before you rely on it. The ground floor has a living room, a separate dining room and a kitchen at the back of the house. The kitchen opens straight onto the terrace, so breakfast outside needs no more effort than carrying the plates a few steps. There is also a bedroom, a bathroom, a separate toilet and extra storage. With a bedroom and bathroom on the entry level, this floor works for single-level living, for a relative with limited mobility, or for guests who don't want stairs. The upper floor has its own entrance and works as a full apartment. It has a combined living and dining room, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a large kitchen that leads onto a balcony overlooking the garden. A separate storage room on this level is useful for hobby gear, bikes or seasonal items. ### Garden, Terrace and Balcony on 768 m² Most houses with two units offer little privacy between them. Here the plot is large enough for each unit to have its own garden section. The ground-floor household has the terrace, the upstairs household has the balcony, and ... click here to read more

This villa for sale in Dilsen-Stokkem, Limburg, pairs 266 m² of living space and an EPC A rating with a west-facing garden of 1,015 m². Built in 2007, the detached house has been looked after with real care. It has three bedrooms, a dressing room, a double garage and a fenced garden with automated gates. Everything is in good condition, so you can move in and start living rather than planning works. It suits a family that wants room to spread out. It also works for a buyer looking for a second home in Belgium who wants low running costs and a house that can be left in good order between visits. ### The House: 266 m² Over Two Floors You enter through a tidy hall with a guest toilet and an open wooden staircase. The ground floor is built around light. Large windows run along the garden side, and the living room, kitchen and dining area flow into one another without walls cutting them up. The living room has a wooden floor and a gas fireplace, which makes it the obvious place to be on a grey Limburg evening. The kitchen is fully fitted with plenty of storage and a breakfast nook. The appliances are Siemens, Bosch and Novy. Next to it, the dining area has wide glass panels facing the garden, so you eat with the lawn and borders in front of you. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a separate dressing room. The bathroom is modern, with a wide vanity unit and double sinks, which helps on busy mornings. There is a separate toilet on this floor too. ### A West-Facing Garden of 1,015 m² The garden has been laid out with hedges, flowering borders, a proper lawn and several places to sit. A terrace sits right against the house for outdoor meals. Further down the garden, a pergola gives you a quieter, more private corner. Because ... click here to read more

This 18th-century manor house for sale in Charente sits on 8.5 hectares with its own pond, a short drive from Condéon. The grounds run to 85,692 m², and roughly a hectare of that is water. The setting is quiet and undisturbed, and a morning here starts slowly. The house is in good condition, so you can live in it while you decide what the rest of the estate should become. ### The Manor House: 691 m² and 11 Bedrooms The main house has 691 m² of living space, 11 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The rooms are generous, as you would expect of a house this age, and the layout leaves room to split the building into two separate dwellings. That could mean a family home with a self-contained wing, or a main residence with independent guest accommodation. Eleven bedrooms and two bathrooms also tell you where the first jobs would fall if you plan to host paying guests: more bathrooms. It is a practical question worth pricing early with a local builder. ### Outbuildings Over 1,500 m²: Barns, Forge and Distillery This is where the estate becomes unusual. The outbuildings add up to more than 1,500 m² and include two large barns, a former forge, a distillery, a stable, a wine press and a workshop, plus several smaller annexes. Charente is Cognac country, and the distillery and wine press fit that history. You will not find many properties on the market that still carry this much working heritage in one place. ### Project Ideas: Guest House, Equestrian or Event Venue The buildings and land suit several directions, and the source material points to four: tourism, equestrian, events and artistic use. A few thoughts on each: - Tourism: the main house and a converted annexe could form a guest house or a cluster of gîtes, with the pond a ... click here to read more

A villa for sale in Setúbal district: five bedrooms and 490 m² of living space on a 1,307 m² plot in São Simão. It is a big house for a family, or for two families sharing one roof, in one of the most sought-after corners of the Lisbon region. Most buyers looking at a villa for sale in Setúbal want room to spread out without losing the Lisbon connection. This house delivers the room. The living area is generous, the plot is bigger than most you find near the coast, and the setting puts you between the Arrábida hills and the Tagus estuary. ### The House: Five Bedrooms, Four Bathrooms, 490 m² The numbers are the story here. Five bedrooms and four bathrooms across 490 m² means each bedroom can realistically have its own bathroom or sit close to one. That matters when you have grown children visiting, friends staying for the whole of August, or parents living with you part of the year. The condition is listed as good, so this is not a renovation project. You would not be budgeting for a gut job before the first summer. As with any house of this size, though, plan a visit with an architect or builder you trust, and check the roof, the electrics, the heating and the windows before you make an offer. The listing does not detail extras such as a pool, garage or terraces, so ask for the full floor plans and a list of what comes with the house. We will pass your questions on. ### The 1,307 m² Plot The plot is roughly two and a half times the footprint of the living area. That leaves real outdoor space for a garden, a dining area for long lunches, or play space for children. If you are thinking about adding a pool, ask early about local planning rules and what the municipality allows on a plot of this size. Land needs looki ... click here to read more

This renovated villa for sale in Almancil sits on 1,815 m² of pine-shaded plot in Fonte Algarve, a few minutes from Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago. It has five bedrooms, six bathrooms and 290 m² of living space across three levels. Most days here will happen on the south-facing terraces, around the pool and in the outdoor kitchen. The renovation is recent and the house is presented as move-in ready, so you can arrive with suitcases rather than a builder's schedule. ### The House: Three Levels, Five Bedrooms The main floor is one open space that holds the living room, dining area and a contemporary kitchen fitted with Bosch appliances. A separate support pantry keeps the mess out of sight when you have guests. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors run along the terrace side, so on a warm evening the whole room opens onto the garden. The principal suite takes up the entire upper floor. It has a walk-in closet and a bathroom with a freestanding bathtub. From the bedroom you look out over the surrounding pine trees rather than at a neighbour's roof. The lower level is the entertaining floor. It holds a lounge, a bar area, a multimedia room, a laundry room and additional guest suites. With six bathrooms in total, a full house of family or friends will not queue for a shower. The listing gives roughly 407 m² of built area including all three levels, against 290 m² of living space. ### Outdoors: Pool, Terraces and Pine Trees The plot is 1,815 m², which is generous for this part of the Algarve. The south-facing terraces carry the day's sun, with a lounge area around a firepit, a spot for alfresco dining, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and a barbecue. The private swimming pool sits within landscaped gardens, and there is also a ... click here to read more

This single-storey villa for sale in Moncarapacho has four bedrooms, a self-contained snug with kitchenette and 2,640 m² of fully fenced grounds. It sits about five minutes from the village in the Eastern Algarve, on a mostly level plot shaded by established trees. Inside are 200 m² of living space, three bathrooms and air conditioning, all on one floor. The house suits a family with children just as well as one with grandparents in tow. If you have been searching Portugal real estate for somewhere with room to spread out, this is a lot of land to find within minutes of a village. ### The House: Four Bedrooms on One Level A single storey matters more than it sounds. There are no stairs for older relatives, the garden is a short step from the living areas, and upkeep is simple if you only use the place part of the year. The villa has four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with generous reception rooms for family meals and long lunches that run into the afternoon. The kitchen is bright and gets plenty of sun. The property is in good condition. It has double glazing, air conditioning and a mains water connection, which covers the basics for the hot Algarve summers. What sets it apart from other four-bedroom homes is the additional snug room, which has its own kitchenette. You could use it as a guest annex, a base for a parent or a grown-up child, or simply a quiet second living space. It stays connected to the main house but gives whoever uses it real independence. If you are thinking about holiday-rental income, take local advice on licensing before you plan around it. ### Garden and Grounds: 2,640 m² Fully Enclosed The plot is predominantly level and fully fenced, with mature gardens and established trees. That combinat ... click here to read more

This 65 m² chalet for sale in Buskerud sits in a forested part of Sigdal, with a 28 m² terrace and 1,020 m² of owned land around it. Built in 1980, the two-bedroom cabin is a wood-lined weekend base rather than a showpiece, and that is much of its appeal. Solar panels, a wood stove and a composting toilet tell you how it is meant to be used: simply, and mostly outdoors. If you want a second home in Norway that feels like a real hytte, this is the kind of place people have in mind. ### The Cabin and Its 1,020 m² Plot The plot is owned freehold, and at just over 1,020 m² it gives the cabin proper breathing room. Forest surrounds the terrace, so you can set out a table and chairs on the roughly 28 m² of sunny decking and eat outside without an audience. The garden is low-maintenance and stays close to its natural state, which suits an owner who comes up for weekends rather than mowing every week. The cabin is in good condition and ready for use. There is no renovation project hiding behind the wood paneling, though you should expect basic comforts rather than a modern finish. ### Inside: Wood Paneling, Wood Stove and Seven Beds Wood paneling runs through the rooms and gives the interior its warm, slightly dark cabin character. The living room is large enough for a sofa group and a dining table, and big windows face the trees, so the light changes with the season. A fireplace or wood stove in this room is what you will gather around on cold evenings. The kitchen is plain and practical: smooth-fronted cabinets, a laminate worktop and enough space to cook for a group. The dining area sits by a window with a view into the woods. There are two bedrooms, both with bunk beds. The main bedroom is the larger one and looks ou ... click here to read more

This half-timbered farmhouse for sale in Lower Saxony sits on 1.6 hectares in Getelo, a few minutes from the Dutch border. It has seven bedrooms, 199 m² of renovated living space and barns for vehicles, storage or animals. The renovation is done and the house is in good condition. The old timber frame is still visible inside, but the finish is clean and contemporary. Outside you get fenced meadows, tree-lined fields and very little through traffic. ### The Farmhouse: Renovated Half-Timbered Living on Two Floors The main living area is the room that sells the house. Exposed wooden beams and rustic ceiling finishes keep the building's age in view. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a wide terrace door pull daylight deep into the room and open the view across the grounds. Morning coffee at that window, with the meadows in front of you, is a good way to start a day. The house has nine rooms across two floors, seven of them bedrooms. That suits a large family, or a second home where friends and relatives come to stay. Several rooms have solid wood flooring, the interior doors are light wood with black handles, and the window sills are solid wood. The bathroom is modern with a walk-in shower, and there are two further separate toilets. ### Land, Barns and Outbuildings The plot measures 16,325 m², just over 1.6 hectares, and this is what sets the property apart from an ordinary village house. Right beside the farmhouse stands an outbuilding that can serve as a workshop, storage space, garage or stable. A paved driveway leads to an open barn with room for vehicles. A second barn across the road adds more storage or space for agricultural use. Fenced meadows already border the grounds, so the layout suits horses or other animals ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Hejls puts you a few steps from the beach and harbour, with Little Belt views from the open kitchen and terrace. Built in 2017 in the coastal village of Hejlsminde, it has 179 m² of main living space (270 m² in total) on a 782 m² plot and is in good condition. It works as a year-round family home, and just as well as a low-maintenance second home in Denmark where you arrive, drop the bags and are at the water within minutes. ### A 2017 House on Three Levels The layout is a little different from what many buyers expect, and it works well. The three bedrooms are on the ground floor, together with the family bathroom and a generous utility room with built-in storage. A staircase from the entrance hall connects all levels. The main living space is upstairs, which is where the sea views are. The open-plan kitchen and dining area has large windows facing the Little Belt strait, and a door leads straight onto the wooden terrace. Morning coffee there, with the water in front of you, is the obvious reason to choose this house. The first floor also has a separate lounge and a second bathroom with shower. The basement holds a garage, a workshop, a storage room and a large multipurpose room that could become a gym, hobby room or extra living space. If the house stands empty for part of the year, that much storage is handy for bikes, beach gear and garden tools. ### Comfort, Heating and Running Costs Underfloor heating runs through the house, apart from the technical room in the basement. A heat recovery ventilation system keeps the air fresh without opening windows on a cold day. The walls are brick under a tiled roof, which means little repainting and upkeep.

This stone house for sale in Dordogne sits at the foot of the château in Jumilhac-le-Grand, with a hidden courtyard and views over the L'Isle valley. Priced at €95,000, it is a village-centre house with 107 m² of living space, two bedrooms and an attic that is ready to be used. The shops are a short walk away, and the house is in good condition. For a buyer who wants a foothold in the Périgord Vert without a big renovation budget, it is an easy house to understand. ### From Hair Salon Back to Family Home The previous owner turned the house into a hairdressing salon. The sellers say it can easily be reverted to a home, and the layout supports that. The ground floor is one generous living room of 55 m², with a WC and handbasin. Behind it, a door opens onto the courtyard, so the room gets light and air from the back as well as the street. Upstairs are two bedrooms that both look out over the L'Isle river valley. Between them is a room currently used as an office, with an old fireplace still in place. The bathroom is not finished, but the plumbing is done and the shower, WC and washbasin are already on site. A tiler and a plumber's afternoon, not a building project. Above that is a 30 m² attic. It could stay as storage or be fitted out later as extra sleeping space, depending on what you want from the house. ### Practical Details: Windows, Drainage and Fibre All the windows are double-glazed. The house is on mains drainage, which removes a common worry with older French stone houses, and fibre internet is available in the village. That last point matters if you plan to work remotely for part of the year or simply want to stream a film on a wet October evening. The plot is small at 93 m², and that works in your favour ... click here to read more

This chalet for sale in Vestland sits on Spissøy near Mosterhamn, 100 metres from the sea, with a 38 m² terrace facing the water. Built in 1991, the timber cabin has 42 m² of living space, two bedrooms and a wood-burning stove. It stands on a 661 m² plot that is owned outright, with no other cabins close by. It is a simple, honest place for someone who wants the Norwegian coast without the fuss. ### The Cabin: 42 m² of Timber and Light Inside, the cabin is built around wood. Large windows pull daylight into an open-plan living room and kitchen, and the wood-burning stove is the natural centre of the room. On a cold evening that stove does the work of both heating and atmosphere. The kitchen is basic, with space for a fridge and a stove, and it is laid out for leisure living rather than elaborate cooking. A small loft opens off the living room. Use it for storage or turn it into a sleeping nook for the children. There are two bedrooms, so a family or two couples can stay without trading privacy for proximity. The bathroom is tiled on both walls and floor. It has a shower corner with glass doors, a toilet and a vanity with a mirror and plenty of storage. That storage matters if you plan longer stays. Water and electricity are connected, and the property is in good condition, kept in a traditional cabin style rather than modernised. ### Terrace, Garden and the Sea at 100 Metres The 38 m² terrace is the best part of the place. It has room for a proper table, a barbecue and a few chairs, and the view runs over the water. Morning coffee here, with the sea in front of you, is the reason people buy a cabin like this. The garden is child-friendly and easy to use, with space to play, plant something or sit still. From the p ... click here to read more
