After almost 150 years in the same family, now this beautiful house in the countryside is for the first time on the market. It is situated in the small village of Lixfeld about 20min from Dillenburg, the ancestral seat of the House of Orange-Nassau, and birthplace of William of Orange, the father of the fatherland. The road from Dillenburg to Lixfeld leads through the little known but picturesque Schelderwald, a forest area of about 40 square kilometres with countless hiking and biking path, as well as skiing opportunities in winter. From Lixfeld, you can quickly reach many scenic towns and tourist attractions like Herborn (20min), Burg Greifenstein (30min), and Marburg (40min). The well-known skiing area of Winterberg im Sauerland is just over 1h away. The house was built in 1877, and renovated and expanded from 1937 to 1987. There are 8 rooms on two stories, a balcony, a landscaped yard with outside seating areas, garages for 3 cars, 2 bathrooms, a partly finished attic, a basement, and too much more to list. Living costs in this area are astoundingly low. Expect to pay 10 Euro for a pizza, and 15 Euro for a Curry or a large Schnitzel meal. The ridiculously low minimum bid reflects a need for some urgent repairs, like a new roof for about 28,000 Euro. The rest can be done up over time. The house is partly furnished and ready for you to move in! Want to know more?
