I have watched the other videos of properties you show and was hesitant with this one due to the length. I must admit I stayed for the whole thing. Congrats on this project. I am waiting for s few things to fall into place but will follow you in the meantime to see what there is out there.

I can only imagine how much it costs them to keep up with all of that! The property is awesome! The upstairs bedroom is so big! So grand! It will be amazing to see finished. Maybe if one of your viewers buys it you can do a followup down the road and show the before and after! Cheers!

    @jameslovering9158 11 дней назад

    Looks quite remote and very quiet, some may be looking for that but for me I would need to be close to a larger city within 40 minutes drive. I think also unfortunately not a good outlook (View) and privacy would be a concern. Also only 2/3 bedrooms the underneath a low ceiling.... one outside. Of course price could reflect all this and it has potential to be a fabulous space with drive on access/parking.

    • @mradventurer8104
      @mradventurer8104 11 дней назад

      Same here. A kitchen in the Netherlands (which is more expensive than Italy) is between say 7-25k and a bathroom you can have for say 5-25 (of course lots of variation possible bc of quality differences, material differences, discount etc you can google the prices yourself too ;)). It also depends on choices like: Do you want one or two bathrooms, double glazing, would you paint the walls yourself or have it done for you etc. I "guesstimate" 70-150k depending on choices of quality and doing some own work or not. And maybe 30k more if the second property needs a new roof (it seemed so from above). I would be curious to hear what Annette thinks how much it would cost to finish off the house.
