Hello everyone!
I just registered because my husband and I are moving back to beautiful Lower Saxony from the Stuttgart area and are planning to build a house.
We have found a plot of land that we really like. This plot costs about 120,000€ (approximately $130,000). We have been thinking that our finished house, including all ancillary building costs, notary fees, the land, property transfer tax, and everything else involved, shouldn’t cost much more than 500,000€ (about $545,000). This would leave us some room for interior design like the bathroom, kitchen, flooring, and so on. Is this a realistic plan, or would it be wiser to look for a smaller plot?
This is all completely new to us, so I would really appreciate any helpful advice!
Best regards

Off the top of my head, I can think of
- Pharmacy, doctors
- Hardware store
- Bike shop
- Computer store
- Electronics store like Conrad
All of these are closer than the cities mentioned (there are even three different hardware stores within 15 minutes (9 miles) reach), and there are also two cinemas about 20–25 minutes (12–16 miles) away. If you want to go out with friends in the evening, you usually go to Marburg (about 35 minutes (22 miles) away) because it has a very nice old town with plenty of options.
Considering the peace and quiet you find in rural areas, it's a bargain at 35€.
I myself live in a village with around 400 inhabitants and paid 135€/sqm (12.53 sq ft). However, it's a 20-minute drive to Aschaffenburg and 40 minutes to Frankfurt. That is absolutely fine for me.
I work in sales and am completely satisfied when my private surroundings are quiet.
