and its obvious why the couch is nearly in the fire, freezing in winter id say.
Parochial House, Killina, Rahan, Co. Offaly, R35D659 is for sale on Daft.ie
Former priest house trapped in a timewarp from the 70's - nice vintage Aga range in the kitchen though!
Holy moly - a home-made house, if ever I saw one! Some great workmanship (along with some awful) - that sliding shutter on the velux window is a thing of beauty!
That's my quota of pine done for this week now - please, no more - some raw concrete or something needed to restore balance in my brain!
The price!!!!
Came across this weird ramshackle pile outside of Nenagh while poking around Daft:

I swear it looks like it was transplanted straight from some rural hillside in the Appalachian Mountains. If you'd just shown me the pictures, I'd have guessed it was somewhere in Tennessee or North Carolina, or maybe Virginia.
here's a mad thing about that house:
"The Ben Rose House was priced at $2.3 million in 2009, but most of the serious inquires came from buyers looking to tear the residence down."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Rose_House
can you imagine wanting to buy an iconic house but wanting to demolish it? though i think chris pratt and katherine schwarzenegger recently did something similar.
That, and some series in the last few years had a yoga/murder/possibly both set in a room very like that - can't for the life of me remember what it was though, and it's going to annoy me now - anyone know?!
€1.25m for a 200sqm house in delgany on 1.7ac is cheap, i thought!
The power of Greystones!
quite a few vibes of that having been empty or not particularly well maintained for what should have been a high spec build originally.
Bit of an odd layout, having a lounge only accessible through the main bedroom. I looked at it, willing to like it because I like the surroundings, but the timber ceilings are a bit oppressive and I am astonished to see them looking for 1.25million for it. And an E2 BER.
The EA says of the private sitting room
This intimate setting is perfect for entertaining friends over a game of cards or simply enjoying a peaceful evening by the fire
but you have to wend your way through the length of the house, through the bedroom and around a couple of corners past the wardrobes and ensuite to get there. Meanwhile the kids are sprawled around the living room watching tv in the obvious room to bring people.
No, I am not seeing it, not for that money anyway.
That describes huge areas of France. Friend of mine did the big French house thing in the middle of nowhere about ten - twelve years ago. Spent summers and other holidays over there with the family doing the place up bit by bit and integrating into the local community. Surprisingly the locals were extremely friendly and welcoming, especially with his young kids who became 'French' for the summers. I haven't seen him in a few years but I assume he's still got it.
First thing that came to mind for me.
Groovy! I like it all the same.
Oh wow, that's absolutely gorgeous!
But there would be a LOT of paint deployed before I could live in it - that'd be like living, eating and sleeping in a sauna.
That chocolate bath is hilarious!
E2, though….. brrrrrr.

This is another website to waste some hours on, some of the cheap Châteaus would have you weighing up options

As Grayson says, there are other variables that are considered & as each authority can set their own the €500 average may not even touch the sides for some areas. A friend has a lovely but somewhat dated apartment in a very nice area of a well to do southern city. His was €1,900 when we spoke about it a couple of years ago.
Doesn't sound like it would be a high bill
Not just Paris, as I’m sure you know. Bigger cities, wine country especially around Bordeaux & Champagne or Cognac regions can be pricey for houses & land. Obviously the Cote D’Azur, Nice, Cannes. However, France is a big country so even within those regions there’ll be bargains to be found & not just in serious states of dilapidation.
All information like that would usually be provided by the agent. Sellers have to provide a dossier of information including energy rating, termite treatment & flood potential etc where necessary, pool alarm guarantees if needed etc to put their properties on the market. Or at least thats how it was a few years ago.
I get that they'd be more expensive near paris, but still even in the back end of Ireland there's be nothing even vaguely close.
One of the descriptions said that if you needed extra space, there was a small house on the property. That's a whole house, that's barely mentioned. :) Just the land and the small house would cost more here.
Plus most of the younger French people want reversible clima, easy heat homes with smaller gardens. French inheritance laws can be a bit of a nightmare too in some ways so a lot of the older & even smaller properties may have to have relatives tracked down which can be time consuming. That’s before you even get to having your offer accepted & any updating done.
Think the reason for the low prices are because, from a quick look on Google maps, they appear to be whatever the French equivalent of Longford is, sod all public transport or amenities, hundreds of km from any airports
I'd consider the purchase price a mere deposit on the gazillions that would be necessary to bring it up to standard - now in the end it may still be good value, but I'd say you'd want very deep pockets!
Its not just based on current value. Its based on what local rent prices per room , so if you have 8 bedrooms but only one toilet thats factored in. Swimming pool, tennis court , car garages , garden size, house size in square meters. Its a document not far removed from a census form. Each village/town sets their own prices.
So theres no obvious answer but if you want to buy a Chateau, ask for the annual property tax on it first.
There are two but not everybody is liable for both. All homeowners, except retirees of a certain age who live in their main home, pay Taxe Foncière which is indeed calculated against rent rates but from the 1960s afair. The cost varies between departments & I think averages out at about €500. Bigger homes do pay more as do those who live in expensive areas.
Taxe Habitation is the second & used to be paid by all until recently but is now only paid on properties which are not the main homes of the owners.
I’ve edited twice for spelling mistakes!
How much is property tax in France?
