Hello everyone,

We currently have an option on a plot of land that is quite ideal for us. Well located, very friendly neighbors. The price is below the standard land value.
The plot is about 730 m² (7,850 sq ft), which is a very nice size for us, and it has a good shape. Sizes like this and prices below the standard land value are hardly available in this area anymore.

Now for the downside:
The plot is bordered on two sides by direct neighboring buildings from an old farmhouse.

Overgrown garden with brick wall, colorful metal fences, and blue sky


Abandoned brick wall with grass area in front, climbing plants on the right side, and blue sky.


The lower part is about 2.50 m (8 feet) high. The higher part is 5 m (16 feet) high.
The higher part is at the eastern edge of the plot, the lower part at the northern edge.

Now the question for you: what can be done here to at least somewhat improve the view?

The owner of the farm is apparently very easy-going. This means we can probably do whatever we want, as long as it doesn’t cost her anything
(unfortunately, demolition is not included).

I don’t see any problem with the wall at all. It can be partially concealed with tall shrubs and trees, and if a bit of brick shows through, it’s no big deal; plus, it’s something good for the environment. No one can see into your property there, and it offers excellent noise protection. The smaller wall can be wonderfully planted with trellis supports, allowing you to grow all kinds of fruit, vegetables, or flowering plants.
