Houses For Sale In Europe (page 3)

This country home for sale in Faaborg is a 93 m² wooden summer house with an open view over the South Funen Archipelago. It is the last house on its road in Horne Sommerland, so the outlook runs uninterrupted across the water. From the garden you can see the islands of Lyø and Als, and ferries and sailing boats cross the horizon through the day. It is a house for slow mornings, with the water always in view. ### The House: 93 m² on One Level The house was built in 1966 and extensively renovated and expanded in 2005. Its timber walls are finished in black and white, and the pitched roof is covered in roofing felt. Everything is on a single level, which makes it easy for guests of any age and simple to look after when you are away for a few weeks. Inside there are three bedrooms and one bathroom with a shower, plus a separate extra toilet that helps when the house is full. The living and dining areas run together, and large windows are set to frame the sea. The open-plan kitchen is fully equipped and has its own drainage. Heating comes from electric radiators, with stoves that burn solid or liquid fuel for the colder evenings. The condition is good, so this is a home to use from the first weekend rather than a project to plan around. ### Garden and Terrace Facing the Archipelago The plot covers 870 m² and is well kept, with mature trees, flowering shrubs and open lawns. A spacious terrace is the natural centre of the property. It suits long dinners outdoors, sunbathing, or simply watching the ferries go by. There is room for children to run around, and for anyone who likes to garden, the beds and shrubs give plenty to do. ### Living in Horne Sommerland and Faaborg Horne Sommerland is a summer house area just outside ... click here to read more

This country home for sale in Norrtälje sits on the island of Stomnarö with two houses, sea views and a boat mooring just 125 metres from the door. The plot covers 2,222 m² of garden and natural landscape. The idea is simple: the timber main house for the family, the guest house with its own sauna for everyone else. At €289,500 and in good condition, it is a practical way into a holiday home in the Stockholm archipelago. ### The Main House: Timber, Fireplace and South-Facing Terrace The main house dates from 1985 and has 58 m² of timber-built living space. Three bedrooms fit inside that footprint, so expect a cabin-style layout: compact, sensible, made for summers when every bed is taken. The living room has a fireplace, which means a cool evening in May or September is something to enjoy rather than avoid. There is a kitchen for everyday cooking and a washroom with a sink. From the living room you step straight onto a south-facing terrace. This is where the morning coffee goes, and later the long dinners when the light stays late. The seller describes the house as suitable for year-round use thanks to its solid construction. As with any island home, check heating, water and winter access in detail when you view it. ### Guest House with Sauna and Sleeping Loft The second building is a 38 m² guest house with an open-plan living area, a kitchen, a shower and a sauna. Above it is a large sleeping loft with room for several guests. It has its own south-facing terrace too, so visitors are not sitting on top of the main house. That separation is the real strength of the layout. Teenagers can claim the loft for the summer, friends can stay a week without anyone feeling crowded, and two generations can share the plot with ... click here to read more

This villa for sale in Luz de Tavira has a private pool, a rooftop terrace with views over the Ria Formosa and a train station a short walk away. It is a contemporary three-bedroom house with 180 m² of living space on a 537 m² plot, rated A for energy, in a quiet residential corner of the East Algarve. The eastern end of the Algarve is the calmer one. Fewer high-rises, more fishing-village rhythm, and the lagoons and sandbanks of the Ria Formosa Natural Park close by. This house suits that setting: modern inside, open to the outdoors, and easy to run whether you live here all year or only for a few months at a time. ### The House: Layout and Condition You step from the entrance straight into an open-plan living, dining and fully fitted kitchen area. Large glass doors open onto the terrace and the swimming pool, so on a warm day the living room simply extends outside. The ground floor also holds a modern bathroom and a flexible bedroom with its own terrace facing the back garden. Keep it as a guest room, or turn it into a home office, a lounge or a small gym. Upstairs there are two en-suite bedrooms. Each has built-in wardrobes, a walk-in shower and its own balcony looking towards the Ria Formosa. Morning coffee out there is hard to beat. The villa is in good condition, so there is no renovation to budget for. It is sold unfurnished. Any furnished images in the original marketing material are illustrative only. ### Pool, Terraces and Rooftop Views The rooftop terrace is what sets this house apart from other villas in the area. Climb up and the view runs across the Ria Formosa towards the sea. A pergola gives shade over the seating area, and a fitted kitchen and barbecue mean you can cook and eat up there without go ... click here to read more

This chalet for sale in Tylldalen sits at about 860 metres above sea level, on a 1,157 m² plot with open mountain views and a road that runs right up to it. It is a 68 m² log cabin with one bedroom, plus an annex and an outbuilding, and it is habitable today. It also needs modernising, and that is reflected in the price of around €62,000. For a buyer who likes a project and wants a mountain cabin in Innlandet without a big budget, that is the whole point. ### A Log Cabin with a Past The main building started life in the village around 1870. At some stage it was split in two. The upper half became the base of a neighbouring cabin about 100 metres to the east, and the lower half was moved up the hill and re-erected here in 1970. So you are buying old timber that has already had a second life. The log construction is a solid starting point for renovation, and you decide how much of the rustic character to keep and how much comfort to add. A sales prospectus and a condition report are available. Read both before you make an offer, because the scope of work will be the biggest variable in your budget. ### Inside the Cabin, on the Deck and Around the Plot Inside, the living area is open up to the ridge, so the ceiling is high and the room fills with daylight. A fireplace insert provides the heat. The kitchen has older fittings and a dining area. The bedroom has a partly divided alcove arrangement, and in total the cabin sleeps six. The annex, built in 1997, adds more sleeping space, and there is an outdoor toilet on the plot. If you want to use the place comfortably outside the summer months, expect to update the kitchen and the sanitary arrangements. Outside, a large deck and terrace wrap around the south and west sides ... click here to read more

This country home for sale in Innlandet, near Braskereidfoss, has two cabins, a new summer house and a lake 300 metres from the door. The buildings stand on a freehold plot of 1,007 m² and add up to 72 m² of living space and three bedrooms. At €199,000 it is a ready-to-use holiday home where family or friends can sleep in their own cabin, with no second purchase needed. ### Three Buildings on 1,007 m² of Freehold Land The main cabin dates from 1973 and has 38 m² of gross internal area. Inside you find an entrance hall, a living room, a kitchen, two bedrooms and a utility room. The guest cabin followed in 1984 and adds 34 m² with its own living room, kitchen and bedroom. Guests get real independence, yet it is only a few steps back to the main cabin for breakfast or an evening fire. A summer house, built new in 2023, covers 17 m² of external area. Think of it as the place for a book and a cup of coffee when the cabins are busy. A further outbuilding of 7 m² gives you storage and an outdoor WC. The listing mentions no other sanitary arrangements, so ask how washing and bathroom facilities work when you view. Outside, terraces total 81 m², enough for a long table and a separate corner for sunbathing. The garden is well kept, with room for children to play, a vegetable bed or a fire pit. ### Recent Upgrades, Fireplaces and Solar Panels The property is in good condition, and much of the work is recent. In 2022 and 2023 the main cabin received a new kitchen, a new fireplace, fresh paint, a larger window and a new front door. The guest cabin also has a new kitchen and fireplace and freshly painted interiors. Both cabins are heated by fireplaces, which is how most Norwegians warm a cabin anyway. A solar panel system cove ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Corrèze has five bedrooms, a large pool and a fishing lake across the road in the village of Saint-Pardoux-Corbier. It stands on 5,480 m² of grounds and offers 181 m² of living space, three bathrooms and a three-car carport. The condition is good and the kitchen is newly fitted, so the work here is mostly about moving in and unpacking the suitcases. ### A 5-Bedroom House in the Limousin Countryside Start in the kitchen. It is spacious and newly fitted, with a large utility room next to it that keeps laundry and muddy boots out of the main living space. The lounge opens onto a terrace, so doors can stay open on summer evenings and the room spills outside naturally. One bedroom is on the ground floor, with its own en-suite bathroom containing a jacuzzi bath and a separate shower. That suits grandparents, guests, or anyone who would rather not climb stairs at the end of the day. A cloakroom completes the ground floor. Upstairs there are four more bedrooms and a family bathroom, plus a balcony. One of the upstairs rooms is large enough to be converted into a self-contained apartment or guest suite. Certain kitchen units and appliances are available for it, and there is a separate access if you want to go that way. Any conversion is your call, and it is worth checking requirements with the local mairie before planning works. ### Pool, Outdoor Dining and 5,480 m² of Grounds The large swimming pool is the centre of the garden. Beside it is a substantial outdoor dining area that seats eight, which is the sort of detail that decides where lunch happens from May to September. A three-car carport covers the vehicles, which matters in a rural area where nobody arrives by bus. The grounds are spacious an ... click here to read more

This chalet for sale in Rauland, Telemark, sits at 926 metres with panoramic views over Møsvatn lake and the mountains. Built in 2013 and in good condition, it has three bedrooms, 81 m² of living space, a fireplace and a large terrace that catches the sun through the day. It suits people who want water and mountains outside the window more than a road outside the door. ### The Chalet and Its 1,018 m² Plot The living room has high ceilings and big windows aimed straight at the lake. Open-plan kitchen and living space share the fireplace, so on a cold evening the whole room is one warm area. The kitchen is modern and well equipped. The main bedroom is just off the kitchen, with two more bedrooms beyond it, and a loft (hems) gives extra sleeping space for children or guests. The loft is not counted in the measured area because of the ceiling height. Both the bathroom and the entrance hall are tiled with underfloor heating. After a day on the fells, that is where you will be glad of it: wet boots and cold feet are dealt with before you reach the sofa. The measured living area is 81 m² (BRA-i), with 99 m² of usable area in total. Outside, the large terrace opens from the living area and is the obvious place for breakfast and dinner in summer. The 1,018 m² plot is owned, and there is a garden, a boat dock and an annex/storage building for gear, firewood or future plans. ### Getting to the Cabin: Snowmobile in Winter, Boat in Summer Access shapes how you use this cabin, so it deserves a clear explanation. In winter you reach it by snowmobile, and a scooter permit has already been granted. In summer and autumn you cross Møsvatn by boat from the Møsstrond side. The seller has indicated that a boat and a snowmobile can be bo ... click here to read more

This recently built house for sale in Vannes has four bedrooms, a garage and an A energy rating, at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. It stands on a plot of about 400 m², close to the university, the shops and public transport, and not far from the centre and the port. It is sold furnished, so you can arrive with a suitcase instead of a removal van. ### Inside: Four Bedrooms on Two Floors The ground floor is where daily life happens. The living room opens onto a fitted and equipped kitchen, with a pantry alongside, which is a practical extra in a modern house. The master bedroom is also downstairs, with its own shower room and a built-in wardrobe, plus a separate WC. That suits anyone who would rather not climb stairs at night, and it gives guests or grandparents real privacy. Upstairs, a landing leads to three more bedrooms, a WC and a family bathroom with both a shower and a bathtub. Built-in wardrobes upstairs mean less furniture to buy and fewer bulky pieces to move around. The house is recent and in good condition, so there is no renovation project hiding behind the front door. The listing quotes 111 m² for the house and 138 m² of living space. Ask for the floor plan to see how each figure is measured. ### Plot, Garage and Energy Rating The plot measures roughly 400 m², a manageable size for a house this close to the centre of Vannes. There is a garage, which matters if you plan to leave the house empty between visits and want the car under cover. Because the house is at the end of a cul-de-sac, there is little passing traffic. The energy rating is A, the best band on the French scale. In a recent build, that normally points to good insulation and modest heating costs. Ask for the latest diagnostic report and a ... click here to read more

This houseboat for sale in Bocholt is a 1907 pavilion tjalk, fully renovated by 2025 and moored on the Zuid-Willemsvaart in Belgian Limburg. Obelix spent decades hauling peat, willow branches, sand and gravel, and has been a pleasure vessel since 1976. Between 2022 and 2025 the owner reworked her for year-round living. The result is a two-bedroom home on the water, with a supermarket five minutes away on foot. ### A 1907 Pavilion Tjalk with a Documented Past Obelix measures 24.49 m by 4.67 m. That is a lot of boat for a home, and you notice it as soon as you step aboard. The original wooden steering wheel is still in place, and the owner holds extensive documentation of her working life: peat and willow transport, sand and gravel, a spell as a tanker, then recreation. The paperwork matters when buying a vessel. She is registered in the Dutch Kadaster, comes with a Dutch CVO certificate valid until 2029 and a Belgian measurement certificate, and the transfer of ownership goes through a notary. One note on the numbers: the 115 m² listed as plot size matches the footprint of the hull, not a garden or land. The listed living area is 20 m², so think of it as a compact, well-planned home with plenty of storage in the hull and under the kitchen. ### Inside: Living Room, Two Bedrooms, New Kitchen and Bathroom The living room sits in the forepeak and is the heart of the boat. Large windows let in daylight, LED lighting takes over in the evening, and the preserved wooden details keep the old ship in view. Two bedrooms give room for a couple or a small family. The kitchen has been completely renewed, with a dishwasher, fridge and freezer, plus new laminated glass for better insulation and safety. Next to it is a newly fitted ... click here to read more

This chalet for sale in Nordland sits about 100 metres from the sea at Forstrand, a 20-minute drive from Inndyr in Gildeskål. Built in 1967 and kept in good condition, the 53 m² cabin stands on a 1,164 m² plot with a southwest-facing terrace and a view over the water to the mountains. It is a simple, off-grid kind of place, and that is the appeal for many people looking for a second home in Norway. ### Chalet for Sale in Nordland: The Layout Everything is on one level, which makes the cabin easy to use for families and older guests. You come in through a hallway and reach an open-plan living room and kitchen with direct access to the terrace. There are three bedrooms and a storage room for fishing gear, skis and boots. The living room was extended recently to take in more of the view, and the large windows are the first thing you notice. The main bedroom has space for a double bed and looks toward the sea. The other two rooms suit children or guests. A fireplace/wood stove takes the chill off cool evenings, and the cabin has been partly modernised in recent years. ### Off-Grid Living: Power, Water and Outbuildings Be clear about what you are buying: this is a cabin in Norway in the traditional style, not a fully serviced home. There is no running water. Electricity comes from the property's own generator and battery system, which is enough for lighting and basic needs. The outhouse is a separate building. Some buyers see that as a drawback, others as the whole point. If you want a weekend base with no meters and no noise, it fits. If you want a dishwasher, look elsewhere. The grounds hold more than the cabin. There is an outdoor storage shed, a boathouse/annex and a garage/parking space. The annex could serve as ... click here to read more

This country home for sale in Nordre Frogn sits on a flat 2,238 m² plot with a fruit-tree garden, a greenhouse and a 39 m² terrace. It was built in 2020 in the traditional Drøbak style, so you get the look of an old Oslofjord wooden house with none of the restoration work. Inside are 119 m² of living space over two floors, a wood-burning stove and two bedrooms on the main level. The seller sells it as a year-round leisure home, and a bus stop is a short walk away. ### The House: Drøbak Style, Built in 2020 The main floor is organised around a living room with a 2.5 m ceiling and traditional mouldings, the kind of detail Drøbak is known for. A wood-burning stove heats it. The living room opens into the kitchen and dining area, and a door leads straight out to the terrace. That makes it easy to carry dinner outside on a summer evening. Both bedrooms are on this floor. The main bedroom is generous and has built-in wardrobes. The second one is quieter and looks out toward the garden. The bathroom is also on this level. Upstairs there is a hobby room and a further room that is currently used as a bedroom. Sloped ceilings and side storage give the floor some character. It could work as a guest room, a home office or a playroom, depending on how you use the house. ### The Garden: Fruit Trees, Greenhouse and a Wisteria Arch The plot is flat, which is unusual for this stretch of the Oslofjord. That makes the garden easy to use and easy to work in. The previous owner planted it with real intent: pear, plum, cherry, apricot and peach trees, plus mini kiwis, grapes and American blueberries. For colour there are Japanese maple, rhododendrons, lilacs, hydrangeas, clematis, climbing roses, foxgloves and a flower arch with white ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Nyborg has 347 m² on one level, sea views over fields and forest, and a 2,743 m² garden on the town's northern edge. The main house dates from the late 1800s and was extensively renovated in 2004, with Dutch-inspired details added to the whitewashed brick facades. It is a finished country home in Southern Denmark rather than a project, and the garden around it gives real privacy. ### The House: 347 m² on a Single Level Everything sits on one floor, which makes daily life easy for families with small children, for grandparents visiting, and for anyone who would rather not climb stairs with the shopping. The living area is 347 m², and the weighted area used in Danish listings is close to 396 m². There are six rooms in total, four of them bedrooms, so guests or a home office will not squeeze anyone out. The heart of the house is a large open-plan kitchen and dining area with modern appliances and plenty of storage. It is the room where a Sunday lunch for a dozen people stops being a logistics problem. The living room has big windows that frame the landscape outside, so the view is part of the room even in winter. There is one full bathroom plus two separate toilets. Heating comes from district heating, which is a practical, low-maintenance setup for a house of this size. The walls are brick and the roof is fibre cement, both durable materials. High-speed fibre internet is installed, which matters if you plan to work remotely for part of the year. Parking and storage space are included. ### Garden and Sea View on 2,743 m² The plot covers 2,743 m² and has been laid out with care: mature trees, flowering shrubs, open lawns and paved terraces. Different corners serve different purposes, so children ... click here to read more

This detached villa for sale in Lommel, Limburg, has 371 m² of living space on a 1,450 m² wooded plot, five minutes from the Dutch border. Built in 1998 and in good condition, it stands in a quiet villa park among mature trees, with a southwest-facing garden around the house. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a hobby room and parking for several cars make it a practical base for a family, or for anyone who needs space on both sides of the border. ### A Villa Park Setting in Lommel The house sits in a forested villa park, so the first thing you notice is how little you hear. Neighbours are there, but the plot size and the trees and shrubs along the boundaries keep each house to itself. The garden faces southwest, which means sun on the terrace side from the afternoon into the evening. An irrigation system keeps the planting going through dry spells, a real help on a plot of this size. For anyone working in the Netherlands or with family there, the border is about five minutes away. That is a rare thing to find in a house with this much room. ### Inside: A Ground-Floor Bedroom, Two Upstairs and a Hobby Room The living room is built around a wood-burning stove and an open fireplace. Large windows look straight onto the garden, so the room stays light even when the trees are in full leaf. Next to it is a country-style kitchen with built-in appliances, plenty of cupboard space and enough worktop for real cooking. One large bedroom and a full bathroom are on the ground floor. The bathroom has a shower, bath, double washbasin and toilet. That layout suits guests, grandparents, or anyone who would rather not climb stairs every day. An indoor garage with a sectional door connects directly to the house, so you can unload the sh ... click here to read more

This single-storey house for sale in Charente sits in Roullet-Saint-Estèphe, on a fully fenced 736 m² plot with open views and two terraces. It is listed as a four-bedroom home with 100 m² of living space, in good condition and ready to move into. The elevated position is what you notice first: the ground falls away in front, nothing blocks the view, and the garden feels more open than most village plots at this price. ### The House and Its Fenced Plot Everything is on one level, which makes daily life straightforward. You enter through a hallway into a bright living room, with an open-plan kitchen next to it. There is a shower room and a separate toilet. The sleeping accommodation is arranged around the hallway, and the listing counts four bedrooms in total. The layout described by the owner has three bedrooms plus a 21 m² pantry that can be fitted out however you need, as a fourth bedroom, an office, a playroom or a workshop. Any change of use is worth checking with the local mairie before you start. Outside, the plot is enclosed on the front, the rear and one side, so children and pets have a safe space from day one. A carport is attached to the side of the house. There are two terraces, and one of them faces the best of the view. That is the one for morning coffee and for long summer evenings when the light drops over the countryside. The house also has a balcony. The energy performance label is D, which is average for rural France and a sensible starting point if you later want to improve insulation or heating step by step. ### Everyday Life in Roullet-Saint-Estèphe Roullet-Saint-Estèphe is a quiet commuter village in the Angoulême area, a short drive from the city, in a part of the country where houses with r ... click here to read more

This villa for sale in Schüttorf is an early 20th-century Jugendstil house with 11 bedrooms, a conservatory and a garden pavilion with sauna. It stands among mature trees on a plot of 2,428 m². The house shows its character slowly: the oak paneling first, then the light in the conservatory, then the garden behind it. Locally it is known as The Blue Villa, and at 384 m² of living space over four levels it works as a large family home, a house with a separate guest floor, or a base for living and working under one roof. ### The House Floor by Floor The ground floor is built for company. Several salons and sitting rooms open into one another, with high ceilings and large windows keeping the sightlines long and the rooms bright. The kitchen is spacious and sits beside a classic Wintergarten-style conservatory. Its big glass panels face the garden, so you can have breakfast with the trees almost in the room. The hunting room is the showpiece. It has wood paneling, carved detail and built-in oak cabinets, and it feels like a private study from another era. Other ground-floor rooms are flexible enough to serve as a library, studio, home office or consulting room. Upstairs, the first floor is quieter. It holds several bedrooms and bathrooms with views into the greenery, and it already has its own separate entrance. That makes it easy to host guests, house a relative or split private and professional use. The second floor is a full living level with a flexible layout. Two of the villa's five bathrooms are here, so extra suites, studios or workspaces would be straightforward to set up. The basement is more than a cellar. It has daylight, good finishes, additional sleeping and hobby rooms, a bathroom, technical rooms, a full l ... click here to read more

This renovated house for sale in Amboise sits at the foot of the Château d'Amboise, with a direct view of the castle and shops one minute away. It has four bedrooms, a private courtyard and 140 m² of living space. Most people who fall for Amboise do it on foot, and this house suits that. Step out of the front door and you are a minute from the shops, restaurants and schools, yet the street itself is quiet. Look up and the château fills the view. That combination is hard to find in a Loire Valley town where visitors crowd the centre in summer. ### A Renovated Character House Below the Château The house is historic, but it has been completely renovated, using eco-friendly materials. The work included insulation and fresh paintwork, so the rooms stay comfortable in both summer and winter. That matters in an old house, and it means a buyer can move in without a long building project ahead. The renovation kept the original details. You will find antique Versailles parquet floors, terracotta tiles, exposed beams, stone and brick walls, old woodwork, stained glass and a glass roof. None of it looks staged. These are the features that make a Loire townhouse feel like one. ### Room by Room The ground floor starts with an entrance hall that sets the tone. Beyond it is a double living and dining room under exposed beams, which opens onto the courtyard. On a warm evening you can leave the doors open and eat outside. The kitchen is fitted and equipped, with a pantry next to it, and there is a separate hallway and a WC. Upstairs, a bright landing leads to two bedrooms with Versailles parquet flooring, a dressing room, a bathroom and a separate WC. The second floor is the attic level. It has its own landing and hallway and two f ... click here to read more

This chalet for sale in Eggedal, Buskerud, sits at about 840 metres with groomed cross-country ski trails 150 metres from the door. Built in 1982 and in good condition, it is a 64 m² mountain cabin with three bedrooms, a loft and a 42 m² timber terrace that catches the sun for most of the day. For a second home in Norway, it is a compact, practical way to own a place in the hills that works in both winter and summer. ### Inside the Cabin: Timber, Stone and Bunk Beds The living room has timber walls and lacquered wooden floors, and a natural stone fireplace anchors the room. Large windows face the surrounding mountains, so the view is part of every evening in front of the fire. The dining area sits by the window, which is where breakfast will end up most mornings. The open-plan kitchen has profiled pine cabinets, a laminate worktop, an extractor fan vented to the outside and a traditional wood-burning stove. There are provisions for a cooker and fridge, so you will be choosing your own appliances. Sleeping space is the real strength. All three bedrooms are fitted with family bunk beds, and a loft reached from the living room adds more. In total the cabin is set up for up to 11 people, which suits a big family or two couples with children. Living area is 64 m², with 69 m² usable. Electricity is installed. ### Water, Sewage and What to Check Before Buying This is a simple mountain cabin, and you should buy it with that in mind. The bathroom is a small hygiene room with a washbasin unit with a water pump, a shower cabin with a water tank and foot pump, and its own wood stove for heating. The seller notes that the current water pump solution is not approved for use, so ask for the water and sewage documentation and plan ... click here to read more

This south-facing townhouse for sale in Benijófar has three double bedrooms, a renovated kitchen and a private garage. It is a practical house with real space: 120 m² of living area, three bathrooms and a covered terrace at the front where the afternoon sun lands. The condition is good and the kitchen has already been redone, so the main job after completion is moving in. For buyers looking for a second home in Spain, or a base to live in all year, the layout works well on both counts. ### Townhouse for Sale in Benijófar: Layout Floor by Floor You enter from the front terrace, which has a covered area. That makes it usable for morning coffee in summer and for lunch outside on a mild winter day. Inside, the living room is air-conditioned and sits next to the kitchen. The kitchen was recently renovated and has integrated appliances and a modern finish. It is large enough to cook in properly rather than just heat things up. On this level you also get a guest WC, a large covered utility room and direct access to the private garage. The utility room is useful. It gives you somewhere to put suitcases, beach gear, a washing machine and everything else that otherwise ends up in the bedrooms. Upstairs are three double bedrooms, each with air conditioning. Two of them open onto their own balconies. The master bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. The family bathroom has a combined bath and shower, so there is a bath available for anyone who prefers one. With three bathrooms in total, a full house of guests does not mean a queue in the morning. ### Living in Benijófar and the Vega Baja Benijófar is a small, everyday Spanish town in the Vega Baja, in the south of Alicante province. Thi ... click here to read more

This four-bedroom house for sale in Morbihan stands on 3,201 m² of countryside near Lignol, with only one neighbour to the rear. It is a bourgeois-style home of 160 m² in good condition, built with a raised ground floor over a full basement. The price has recently been reduced for a quicker sale. Old stone, wooden parquet and a wood-burning stove sit alongside a modern kitchen, and the layout suits everyday living as well as long holidays. ### The House: Raised Ground Floor and Upstairs Bedrooms You enter through a large hall on the raised ground floor. To the left is the living and dining room, which is the best room in the house. It has original wooden parquet underfoot, an exposed stone wall and a wood-burning stove that will see you through a Breton winter evening. To the right is the fully equipped modern kitchen, a good fit if you like to cook rather than just reheat. Behind the kitchen is a laundry room with its own separate WC. There is also an opening that could easily be turned into a door, giving you indoor access to the garage behind. On a wet day, and Brittany has plenty of those, you will be glad of it. Upstairs, a landing leads to the first bedroom, which has a feature fireplace. Next come the bathroom, with both a bathtub and a shower, and a separate WC. Beyond that is the master bedroom. In total the house has four bedrooms and one bathroom, so if you plan to fill it with family or guests every summer, keep that ratio in mind. ### Basement, Garages and Attics The working side of the house is generous. A full basement runs beneath the living space, with a boiler room alongside it. At the back are two attached garages, enough for a car and a workshop, or two cars and the garden equipment that a plot ... click here to read more

This villa for sale in Rijkevorsel sits on 3,288 m² beside Hoogstraten and comes with a separate 100 m² office or practice. That detail changes who the house suits. With 512 m² of living space, seven bedrooms and a fenced garden with its own pond, it works as a large family home, and it also lets someone work from home without turning the dining room into an office. Built in 1995 and in good condition, the villa had its technical installations completely revised in 2023. It carries energy label B. The setting is the flat, green Kempen countryside of Antwerp province, a short drive from the Dutch border and close to the centre of Hoogstraten. ### Villa for Sale in Rijkevorsel: Living and Working Under One Roof Inside, a grand entrance leads to a living room of about 81 m² with an antique fireplace and a wood-burning stove. Large windows face the terrace, the garden and the fields beyond, so the view is open countryside rather than the neighbours' roofs. The fully equipped kitchen, with built-in appliances, connects directly to the living room. Evening cooking and a fire in the grate happen in the same space. The ground floor also has a dedicated office, a large utility room and a separate laundry room. Upstairs, the master bedroom has its own dressing room, and one of the other bedrooms has a private bathroom. A linen room keeps the landing tidy. In total there are seven bedrooms and three bathrooms, enough for a big family, for guests, or for a mix of bedrooms and hobby rooms. The attic covers about 100 m² and is used for storage today. The seller points to its potential as extra living space, a playroom or a hobby area. Any conversion would need the usual permits, so check the options with the municipality first. ... click here to read more

A detached 3-bed villa for sale in Rojales, Alicante, with open countryside views over olive groves, a garden and private parking on the plot. It sits just outside Los Montesinos, in the quiet inland Vega Baja and a short drive from the southern Costa Blanca coast. The villa is sold furnished and with white goods, so you can arrive with a suitcase and be settled by dinner. It has 97 m² of living space on a 176 m² plot, sized for easy upkeep, and the asking price is €255,000. ### The Villa for Sale in Rojales: Layout and Condition The front door opens onto a porch, and it is worth pausing there. It is a natural place for a first coffee or an evening drink once the day cools down. Inside, the kitchen, living and dining areas share one open-plan space. It is the social centre of the house, and anyone cooking stays part of the conversation. One bedroom and one bathroom are on the ground floor. That is useful for visiting guests, for relatives who prefer to avoid stairs, or for you if you want to live on one level. Upstairs, two more bedrooms share access to a terrace that looks out over the surrounding olive groves. The master bedroom is generously sized. In total you get three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The condition is listed as good, and with furniture and white goods included there is no shopping list to work through. As with any Spanish purchase, have an independent surveyor check the details before you sign. ### Garden, Parking and Pool Potential The garden is a good size for a plot of 176 m², and it is a blank canvas. You could plant it out with Mediterranean shrubs, add an outdoor dining area under a pergola, or create a play space for grandchildren. Parking is private and inside the plot, so you never need to ... click here to read more

This three-bedroom chalet for sale in Eggedal sits at 960 metres above sea level, with sun from morning to evening and open views over Kvelvsavatnet. It stands at Sandvasseter on the highland plateau between Tempelseter and Haglebu, on a freehold plot of 1,155 m². Built in 1969 and extended in 1996, the 74 m² cabin is in good condition and ready to use as a mountain base. ### The Chalet and Its Freehold Plot The plot is surrounded by natural vegetation and mountain forest, so the cabin feels private without being cut off. Because the land is freehold, you own the ground under the building. Many Norwegian mountain cabins stand on leased land, so this is worth noting. As always, have a local lawyer confirm the title during the purchase. A large wooden terrace runs from the entrance and has room for a full set of outdoor furniture. Morning coffee here means sunlight on the plateau and the lake in front of you. Later in the day the sun is still on the terrace. A fire pit has been set up in the terrain next to the cabin for cool evenings. There is also a freestanding outhouse on the property. ### Inside: Fireplace, Three Bedrooms and a Loft The entrance hall has paneled walls, wooden floors and plenty of space for boots and outerwear. Beyond it, the kitchen and living room share one open-plan space. Large windows face the mountains and the lake, and there is room for a dining table by the window. Heating is traditional. The living room has a brick open fireplace and a separate wood-burning stove, and the kitchen has its own fireplace oven. The kitchen has profiled cabinetry and a wooden countertop. A staircase from the kitchen leads to a loft with extra sleeping places and windows in the gable wall. The loft is not appr ... click here to read more

This country home for sale in Hallstavik gives you 83 m² and three bedrooms on a 2,094 m² plot, with meadow views and a southwest-facing terrace. The house stands on a gentle rise north of Stockholm, in the Vidö area of Roslagen. It has a wood-burning stove, two heat pumps and a garden that is easy to keep. The asking price is €99,500, which is a modest entry point for a second home in Sweden within reach of the capital. One thing to know from the start: the sewage system is under a municipal injunction and has to be dealt with. More on that below. ### The House and Its 2,094 m² Plot Inside, 83 m² are divided into four rooms plus a kitchen, three of them bedrooms. There is one bathroom. The living room is the social centre, and its wood-burning stove is what you will want on a November evening. From here a door leads to the terrace, which faces southwest, so the sun stays late on summer nights. Past the railing the view runs across open meadows. The house is in good condition. Two air-to-air heat pumps handle heating, and the water supply runs year-round with a flush toilet, so the house is not limited to the summer season. Outside, the plot is large enough for a vegetable patch, a flower bed or a play area, and the garden is described as low-maintenance. A storage building and a small carport are already on the land. The elevated position means the house catches daylight from morning until evening. ### Sewage and Sale Terms: What to Check First The municipality has issued an injunction on the sewage system, and the new owner will need to upgrade or replace it. Ask for the injunction documents and get a quote from a local installer before you bid, so you can put a real figure on the work. The house is also sold wi ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Uddevalla comes with a guest cottage, a spa bath on the sunny terrace and a 753 m² plot near the Gullmaren fjord. It stands in Lögås, with open fields around it and the water a short drive away. The main house dates from 1929 and has been updated without losing its original character. Condition is good, and at €179,500 it is a compact, ready-to-use base on the Swedish west coast. It works as a holiday home in Västra Götaland just as easily as a year-round address. ### The House: 59 m² Built in 1929 The ground floor keeps things simple. You get a kitchen with plenty of storage and worktop space, a living room with large windows facing the surrounding countryside, and the bathroom. Morning light fills the living room, and the view is fields rather than neighbours. A steep step up takes you to the loft, which is the bedroom. There is also room for an office corner, so a laptop and a quiet desk are easy to fit in if you work remotely for a few weeks at a time. The living area is 59 m², with another 14 m² of secondary space on top. With one bedroom and one bathroom, this is a house for one or two people. The small footprint also means little to look after between visits, which matters if you are buying a second home in Sweden from abroad. ### Terrace, Guest Cottage and Garden The terrace faces the sun for much of the day, and the spa bath sits right on it. Picture an evening soak after a day of walking or boating, with the fields going quiet around you. On the plot there is also a separate guest cottage. Friends and family can stay there, or you can turn it into a studio or hobby room. A storage shed holds garden tools and seasonal gear, so the main house stays uncluttered. The garden covers 75 ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Vemdalen gives you three bedrooms and a 1,167 m² garden plot close to the ski lifts of Vemdalsskalet. At 115 m² it is sized for a family or two couples sharing a winter week. It is a modern new-build in good condition, so there is no renovation list waiting for you. Vemdalen sits in Härjedalen municipality, in Jämtland County, and this holiday home in Jämtland is equipped for year-round use as well. ### The House: 115 m² of Modern Mountain Living The layout is built around an open-plan living area with large windows. The living room runs straight into a modern, fully equipped kitchen, so whoever is cooking is never cut off from the conversation. There is a fireplace for the evenings, which is the first thing most people want after a day outside in February. In total there are four rooms, three of them bedrooms, and one bathroom. The interior follows a contemporary Scandinavian style: clean lines, neutral tones and natural materials. Nothing here needs updating before your first stay. The bedrooms have large windows and storage, and the source material describes the build as well insulated, with modern construction standards behind it. ### A 1,167 m² Plot with Garden Plots of this size are not a given in a ski village. A garden of 1,167 m² means room for children to play, a summer barbecue, a vegetable bed or simply some distance between you and the neighbours. The extra space also gives you a sense of privacy while you are still close to the village services. One practical point: in the mountains, a garden means snow clearing for several months of the year. Ask about winter access and who looks after the plot when you are away. ### Living in Vemdalen: Skiing, Hiking and Village Life Vemdale ... click here to read more

This chalet for sale in Telemark, built in 2018 at Gautefall in Drangedal, sits five minutes from the ski centre and comes with a 76 m² terrace. It is a compact, modern holiday home of 61 m² on a freehold plot of 1,571 m², in the gated Lia Hyttegrend cabin area. Heather, pine and open mountain terrain run right up to the plot, and the whole place is set up for skis in winter and walking boots in summer. ### The Chalet: 61 m² Built in 2018 The heart of the house is an open living room and kitchen with extra ceiling height. Windows stretch up to the roof ridge, so the room fills with light and the landscape is part of the view. A wood-burning stove with a steel chimney heats the space on cold evenings. Floors are treated wood, and the walls and ceilings are panelled, which gives the cabin a warm, rustic feel without looking dated. The kitchen has profiled cabinet fronts and a dark countertop. Next to it, the dining area has a built-in bench under the window, a good spot for breakfast after a ski morning. There are two bedrooms on the main floor. The larger one fits a double bed and has panelled walls and ceiling. The second has room for a bunk bed, which suits children or guests. The bathroom has a shower cabin, tiled floor, underfloor heating and a connection for a washing machine. The tiled entrance hall also has underfloor heating, so wet boots and outerwear dry quickly. An internal wooden staircase leads to the loft, with a seating area and a separate loft room. It is not approved for permanent habitation, so think of it as extra sleeping and lounging space for visiting family or friends. ### Terrace, Fire Pit and a 1,571 m² Natural Plot The 76 m² terrace wraps around three sides of the cabin, and part of it is ... click here to read more

This 3-bedroom villa for sale in Bellapais, Kyrenia, sits on a cliffside with sea, mountain and Bellapais Abbey views from the largest bedroom terrace. It is an older house, built in the 1960s and renovated in 2006, and it keeps its stone floors, its fireplace and the proportions of a traditional Cypriot home. If you want sharp new-build finishes, this is not the one. If you want a house with a past, a short walk from the abbey, keep reading. ### The House and Its Layout You come in through a wide entrance hall with traditional stone flooring. It is bigger than most hallways you will see, and it sets the tone straight away. From there the ground floor splits sensibly: lounge, fitted kitchen, a family bathroom and the door to the rear terrace. The lounge has a fireplace, which matters more than it sounds. Winters in the Kyrenia hills are mild but they do get damp and cool, and an evening with a fire is part of the appeal of a house like this. In summer you have air conditioning and ceiling fans. Upstairs, reached by stairs from the rear terrace, are three bedrooms and a guest bathroom. The house has about 120 m² of internal space and is sold furnished, so you could arrive with a suitcase rather than a removal van. There is also a storage cellar, handy for the things a second home always collects. ### Terraces, Sea Views and the Antique Water Tank In total there are about 25 m² of terrace and balcony. The rear terrace is private and sheltered, a good place for lunch out of the wind. It also holds the oddest feature of the house: an antique water tank. With proper restoration and adaptation it could become a traditional-style jacuzzi, although that is an idea, not something that exists today. The best spot is the ter ... click here to read more

This 3-bedroom chalet for sale in Geilo sits at 852 metres with open valley views, a 36 m² terrace and car access right to the door. Built in 1975 and kept in good condition, it has 116 m² of living space, two bathrooms and a 941 m² freehold plot of natural terrain. At this altitude you get reliable snow in winter and cooler air in summer. The listing states that you can drive up in any season, which matters a great deal for a mountain home. ### The Chalet: Layout and Light The living room is the heart of the house. Large windows face the valley, the ceilings are high, and a wood-burning stove takes the edge off cold evenings. Next to it, the open-plan kitchen and dining area has a fireplace of its own, so family dinners after a day on skis happen in a warm room. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus a storage room, a hallway and an entrance area where wet boots and jackets can stay. Up in the loft (hems) there are extra sleeping spaces. It is not officially approved as a bedroom, so think of it as overflow space for children or visiting friends rather than a fourth bedroom. A garage or parking space, electricity and water are all in place. ### Terrace, Plot and Setting The 36 m² terrace is where mornings start: coffee, the valley below, and nobody else in sight. The plot is 941 m² of freehold land with a garden and natural ground around it. You can lay out a lawn and a play area, or leave the slope as it is. The position is secluded, yet the road reaches the front door. ### Skiing and Hiking Around Geilo In winter you can be on skis within minutes. Groomed cross-country trails start only about 0.6 km away and join the network that runs across the whole Hol municipality. For downhill skiing and snowboa ... click here to read more

This country home for sale in Bornholm sits on the edge of Hasle with a panoramic sea view over the west coast and just over one hectare of land. The house dates from 1883, offers 194 m² on a single level and has been updated while keeping its brick walls and courtyard entrance. Around it, 10,098 m² of lawns, hedges and mature trees give you a kind of space that is hard to find this close to a town. Picture a workshop in the barn, a vegetable plot by the house and long summer evenings watching the light settle over the water. ### The House: 1883 Brick, One Level, Eight Rooms You come in from the courtyard through an everyday entrance and a renovated utility room, a sensible place for boots, coats and laundry. From there the house opens into eight rooms in total, including at least three bedrooms. The remaining rooms are flexible, so they can serve as guest rooms, an office or a hobby space. The living room is the main room of the house. Large windows and glass doors bring in daylight and frame the view of the landscape and the sea beyond. Next to it, the kitchen has a dining area, modern appliances and plenty of storage, with a rustic look that suits an old brick house. There is one bathroom with a modern shower and a separate toilet, and a 28 m² basement adds extra space below. The walls are brick and the roof is asbestos-free fibre cement, which keeps maintenance fairly simple. The house is in good condition and carries energy label C. Stoves for solid and liquid fuel provide the heating, and fibre internet is available at up to 2500/2500 Mbit/s, which makes working remotely from the island realistic. ### Over a Hectare: Garden, Outbuildings and Sea View The garden wraps around the house. Wide lawns are big enoug ... click here to read more

This chalet for sale in Telemark sits at 662 metres in Høydalsmo, with a 43 m² terrace facing the water and prepared ski trails 300 metres away. It is a 75 m² timber cabin with three bedrooms, a stone-clad wood-burning stove and a small annex, on a freehold plot of about 899 m² near Øyfjell. The road runs right up to the door, so you can reach it in winter as easily as in summer. Picture a cold February morning: skis waxed by the door, the stove already going, coffee on the table by a big window with a view over the lake and the forest beyond. That is the everyday rhythm this cabin is built for. It is a classic Norwegian hytte, and it has been looked after. ### Inside the Cabin: Three Bedrooms, Stove and Loft Everything inside is wood. The walls and ceilings are panelled, the floor in the living room is continuous pine, and the ceilings are high enough to make the open-plan living and kitchen area feel bigger than 75 m² on paper. The living room takes a sofa group and a dining table without crowding. A natural-stone stove stands in the middle of the room and doubles as a divider between living and kitchen. The seller says it heats the whole living area efficiently. The kitchen dates from 2004 and has been updated piece by piece: an induction cooktop from 2016 and a refrigerator from 2022. The bathroom was renovated in 2017 with underfloor heating, a shower cabin, a vanity unit and a connection for a washing machine. There are three bedrooms. One sits in the 2012 extension and opens straight onto a terrace with steps down to the garden. Another has a bunk bed, and the third has space for a double bed and storage. Up an internal staircase from the living room there is a 10 m² loft. Its ceiling height and escape condit ... click here to read more

This country home for sale in Örebro stands on a 2,130 m² garden plot near Odensbacken, with a 43 m² one-bedroom house in good condition. The price is the first thing people notice, but the plot is the real draw. Most Swedish cottages at this budget come with a postage-stamp lawn. This one comes with more than two thousand square meters of mature trees and open grass, and a small, tidy house to go with them. If you have been looking for a second home in Sweden that you can use straight away and shape over the years, it deserves a closer look. ### The House: 43 m² on Two Rooms The layout is simple and easy to live in. There is one bedroom, one living room, a kitchen next to the living area and a bathroom. The living room has large windows, so the light reaches well into the house, and there is space for both a sofa corner and a dining table. The kitchen has what you need to cook for two or four people, and because it sits so close to the living room, the cook is never cut off from the conversation. The bedroom takes a double bed and some storage furniture. With only one bedroom, this is a home for a couple or a single owner, or for a family that treats it as a base for long weekends and summer weeks. The house is in good condition, so you can move in first and decide on upgrades later. Anyone planning to use it more than a few months a year may want to look at insulation and heating, as with any small Swedish cottage. Ask for these details at a viewing. ### The 2,130 m² Plot The garden is where you will spend your time from May to September. The source material describes mature trees and open lawns, which means shade for the afternoon and room for a barbecue, a hammock or a game of kubb. It also means you can grow t ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Deux-Sèvres has 214 m², four bedrooms and 5,160 m² of grounds with outbuildings, in the village of Vanzay. It is a detached country house with exposed stone walls inside, a 98 m² garage, a traditional stone barn and enough lawn and mature trees that you will not hear the neighbours. The asking price is €150,000, agency fees included, which is a lot of space for the money in this part of western France. ### The House: 214 m² on Two Floors You come in through an entrance hall with built-in storage, which opens into the living room. This is the room that sets the tone: exposed stone walls, a wood-burning stove and fitted cupboards. Behind it sits a separate fitted kitchen with room for a dining table, so cooking does not have to compete with the sofa. The ground floor also holds an office of more than 30 m². That is bigger than many bedrooms, and it suits remote work, a studio, a workshop for hobbies or a games room. Two bedrooms, a shower room and a separate WC open off the hallway. An unheated conservatory looks onto the garden. It will not be a winter room, but it is a good place for coffee in spring and autumn. One room on this level is still to be finished. It has exposed beams and its own door to the outside, and it could become a second kitchen, a lounge or a principal bedroom suite. A separate utility room takes care of laundry and storage. Upstairs you find two more bedrooms, a second office and a dressing room. The listing is in good condition overall, so the unfinished room is the main project rather than a long list of repairs. ### Outbuildings and 5,160 m² of Land A gate opens onto a gravel driveway. Beyond it, the plot is mostly lawn broken up by mature trees. At just over half a ... click here to read more

A renovated 3-bedroom house for sale in Almoradí on a 250 m² corner plot, with gated-community pool access straight from the garden. This semi-detached villa sits in El Bañet, on the edge of Almoradí in the Vega Baja, in the south of Alicante province. The current owners have modernised it, and it is sold fully furnished. You could arrive with a suitcase, switch on the air conditioning and be at the pool by the afternoon. ### Inside the House: 112 m² Over Two Floors The front door opens straight into an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area. The owners have refreshed it throughout, and new flooring runs through the whole house. Two bedrooms and a family bathroom are on the same level. That suits children, visiting friends, or anyone who would rather not climb stairs at night. Upstairs there is a roomy landing with extra storage, a modern walk-in shower room and the main bedroom. In total you get three bedrooms and two bathrooms in 112 m² of living space. Air conditioning, an alarm system and new guttering are already in place, so there is little to do before you move in. ### Corner Plot, Covered Terrace and Solarium The corner position is the main reason this house feels more open than most semi-detached homes in the area. The 250 m² plot wraps around the front and side, with gardens on both. Communal gardens run alongside, and a park lies directly across the road. Nothing is built opposite, so the views stay open. An automatic gate leads to a private driveway. There is also a separate pedestrian entrance onto the garden. Three steps take you up to the covered front terrace, which has awnings around its edge. That is where you will want to be for long summer lunches, out of the midday sun. From the upstairs l ... click here to read more

This farmhouse for sale in Dordogne, in Busserolles in the Périgord Vert, comes with more than 5 hectares of land and a 233 m² barn. The asking price is €134,300, which is a lot of ground and building for the money. The trade-off is plain: the stone house needs complete renovation, from the roof down. If you want a long project with room to spread out, this is the kind of space that rarely turns up at this price in southwest France. ### The Stone House and What It Needs The main house is a 121 m² stone building. It is a shell with good bones, not a home you can move into and tidy up over a summer. The work list is long and the seller is upfront about it: the roof has to be replaced completely, the interior needs a full renovation, a bathroom has to be installed and a septic tank has to be put in. That is a big job, but it is also a clean slate. You decide where the kitchen goes, how the rooms flow and how much of the old stone stays exposed. Get quotes from local artisans before you make an offer, and ask the mairie what is permitted for the plot. Budgeting properly at the start is what separates a happy renovation from a stalled one. ### The Barn, Old Pigsties and 51,384 m² of Land Attached to the house is a 233 m² barn, nearly twice the footprint of the house itself. Buyers could convert it into extra living space, fit it out as stables or keep it as a workshop. Any change of use needs planning permission, so check with the local authorities first. Outside, you will find former pigsties and a well. The land runs to 51,384 m², just over five hectares, with a garden area and open ground that could take grazing animals, a vegetable plot or a slow return to wild meadow. The views across the rolling Dordogne countrys ... click here to read more

This country home for sale in Dordogne has four bedrooms, a saltwater pool and 6,450 m² of enclosed grounds near Creyssensac-et-Pissot. Built in 1975 and fully renovated, it keeps the look of a traditional Périgord house: exposed beams overhead, terracotta tiles underfoot, and open countryside beyond the garden wall. It sits in the Isle Valley, a quiet corner of the department where you hear birds and the odd tractor rather than traffic. For anyone after a holiday home in Dordogne that can also work as a base for long stays, the mix of a finished house, a pool and a lot of outdoor space is hard to find at this size. ### The House: 175 m² of Périgord Character You come in through an entrance hall that leads to a fully equipped kitchen. The kitchen opens onto a large, bright living room with a fireplace, which is where the house will gather around on cooler evenings in autumn and spring. The locally made terracotta floor tiles and the exposed beams run through the main rooms and give the renovation a lived-in warmth that new builds rarely manage. Also on the ground floor are an office, useful if you plan to work remotely for part of the year, and a bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom and dressing room. That ground-floor suite is a real advantage for guests, for parents, or for anyone who would rather not climb stairs every night. Upstairs, a wide landing serves three more bedrooms and a further dressing room. One of the bedrooms opens onto a balcony, a good spot for a first coffee with a view over the surrounding countryside. There is also a basement for storage. The condition is good and the renovation is complete, so you can arrive, unpack and start using the house. ### Garden, Truffle Oaks and Saltwater Pool T ... click here to read more

This chalet for sale in Veggli sits about 30 metres from a groomed ski trail on Vegglifjell, with three bedrooms, two loft rooms and a sauna. Built in 2020 and in good condition, it is a second home you can start using straight away rather than one you have to fix up first. Step out the door in February, clip into your skis and you are on prepared cross-country tracks within a minute or two. The Vegglifjell ski center is about a five-minute drive, and the cabin stands at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac around 830 metres above sea level, in the Buskerud mountains of Norway. ### Inside the Chalet: Three Bedrooms, Two Loft Rooms, Sleeping for 10 The cabin has 97 m² of internal living area (101 m² built in total). The three bedrooms are on the main floor, each with a double bed and built-in storage. Upstairs, under the sloped roof, you get two more rooms and a loft lounge. In all there are ten sleeping places, so a big family or two couples with children will not be fighting over beds. The living room and kitchen share one open space with high, sloping ceilings and large windows. A wood-burning stove with a steel chimney is the heart of the room on cold evenings. The kitchen has IKEA cabinets with dark, profiled fronts, a laminate worktop and integrated cooktop, oven, fridge and dishwasher. There is space for a large dining table, which you will want after a day on the trails. Both bathrooms are tiled and have underfloor heating. One opens onto a custom-built sauna with wood panelling, benches and an electric heater. Heat after skiing, then a hot shower, without leaving the house. ### Terraces and a 1,310 m² Freehold Plot A wooden terrace of about 44 m² wraps around the cabin, with several seating spots, benches and a f ... click here to read more

This chalet for sale in Valdres sits at 960 metres with Jotunheimen views, a wood-fired hot tub and cross-country ski trails about 100 metres away. Built in 1975 and in good condition, it has three bedrooms, 65 m² of living space and a 4,455 m² plot. It is a ready-to-use cabin in Innlandet rather than a project, and it works as a holiday home in Valdres from the first weekend. ### Inside the Cabin: 65 m² Made for Mountain Weekends The cabin dates from 1975 and has been upgraded over the years. The living and dining area is open-plan, with high ceilings in the living room and large windows that face the mountains and the forest. A wood-burning stove gives the room its centre on cold evenings. A heat pump takes care of everyday heating, which helps when you arrive to a cold house in February. The kitchen has been updated with classic cabinetry and generous worktops, and its window lets in daylight and looks over the plot. Next to it is a dining area big enough for family meals. There are three bedrooms in warm, natural tones and one bathroom with shower and toilet indoors. That is not something every mountain cabin can offer. Outside the main building you will find a technical room with its own external entrance, a storage shed, and a traditional outdoor toilet in the outbuilding. Electricity and a water system are installed, and there are charging facilities for an electric car. ### Terrace, Fire Pit and Wood-Fired Hot Tub The 29 m² terrace connects directly to the living room. This is where morning coffee comes with the Jotunheimen skyline in front of you. A fire pit area on the plot is made for long evenings outside. The wood-fired hot tub is the obvious reward after a day on skis or on the trail. The plot covers ... click here to read more

This villa for sale in Geilenkirchen gives you 485 m² of living space and a park-like 2,159 m² garden a few kilometres from the Dutch border. Built in 1967 and fully detached, it is a house of generous proportions that needs some modernising, but it offers room that newer homes rarely provide at €580,000. It suits a large family, a multigenerational household, or anyone who needs space for a home office, a studio and regular guests under one roof. ### The House: Five Bedrooms on Four Levels You enter through a grand hall with an open staircase. The ground floor is built around a very large living room with big windows facing the garden, a separate dining area and a winter garden where you can sit with the lawn in view even in February. The kitchen is a separate room. A flexible room here works as an office, study or extra bedroom, and there is a cloakroom and a bathroom with toilet and washbasin. At the back, a hobby room with an open fireplace could be a studio, a playroom or a second sitting room. A marble staircase leads up to a wide landing and three large bedrooms, including a master suite with a walk-in closet. The main bathroom has a bathtub, a shower, a double washbasin and a toilet. Two more rooms on this floor can be adapted to your needs. One is a round tower room with marble flooring and windows on several sides, which would make an excellent library or study. The second floor adds another bedroom, a separate room for guests or work, and an open attic area with a balcony. There is a further bathroom with shower, plus several storage spaces. The full basement holds a large cellar, two wine and storage cellars, a room with kitchen facilities, a multifunctional room, a laundry room with the technical install ... click here to read more

This villa for sale in Mijas Costa sits in a quiet Lower Calahonda cul-de-sac and comes with a private pool and a separate one-bedroom apartment. Only six properties share the street, so there is almost no passing traffic, and the plot is walled and gated behind large electric gates. You get 460 m² of living space on three levels, set on a 944 m² plot where mature plants and trees give privacy and keep the garden relatively low-maintenance. ### The Villa: Layout and Living Space You enter through a hallway that leads to a fully fitted kitchen with a central island and quality appliances. The kitchen has two doorways into the dining and living room, so cooking and entertaining never feel cut off from each other. The room has high ceilings, a media wall and a working fireplace. Floor-to-ceiling triple-glazed sliding doors open onto a covered wraparound terrace. This level also holds a double bedroom with a full bathroom and direct garden access. That makes it a practical choice for older relatives or guests who prefer to avoid stairs. A staircase under beamed ceilings takes you to the upper floor, where a large stained-glass window lights the landing. The master suite has a bathroom with a jacuzzi bath, a separate shower, double sinks and marble wall tiling. It also has a walk-in wardrobe, a dressing area and a working fireplace. Sliding doors lead onto a terrace that runs the length of the house. Two more double bedrooms share that terrace and look over the garden. They are served by a mirrored walk-in wardrobe and dressing area and a marble-tiled bathroom. ### Pool, Garden and Outdoor Bar The garden is built for long lunches.

This villa for sale in Lagos, Algarve, stands on 8,520 m² with a heated salt water pool, padel court and roof terrace bar close to Luz.

You land at Faro, drive down, and the only thing left to unpack is your suitcase. ### The Villa and Its Terraces Four bathrooms for three bedrooms means nobody queues for a shower when the family comes to stay. The living areas open onto a run of terraces, and some of them are glazed, so you can still sit outside on a cooler January evening or when the wind picks up. There is also a balcony. The roof terrace is the place everyone will head for. It has its own bar and wide views across the Algarve countryside, which makes it the natural spot for sundowners with friends. Downstairs there is a wine cellar and a basement, and a four-car garage with extra storage. That gives you room for cars, bikes, surfboards and whatever else a house near the coast collects. The property is in good condition and ready to use, so you are not signing up for a renovation project. ### Garden, Pool and Sports Facilities The garden is fully fenced, which suits families, dogs and anyone who wants privacy. It is landscaped for easy care, with automatic irrigation and a selection of fruit trees. Owners of larger plots in the Algarve often worry about upkeep when they are away, and the irrigation takes care of much of that.
