A 595 sq m Plot with Two Outbuildings

The plot is the strongest part of this property. It measures 595 sq m and is classified as urbanised land, with low-rise construction permitted up to 10 metres.

Two outbuildings stand in the yard:

• An 82 sq m single-storey farm building
• A 25 sq m single-storey utility building next to the house

The house and the two outbuildings together cover 171 sq m of the plot.

The farm building is large enough to become a garage, a workshop, a studio or storage, subject to the necessary permits. The open ground leaves room for a garden, parking or an extension.

Layout and Interior of the House for Sale in Kremen

The house has a 64 sq m footprint and 128 sq m of built-up area across two floors, with five rooms in total.

• Ground floor: two rooms, a bathroom and a corridor
• Upper floor: three rooms and a southeast-facing terrace with open mountain views
• Attic: reached by a staircase from the upper floor. It offers extra space that could be converted after a structural survey.

The house faces east and south, so the rooms get light through most of the day.

The floors rest on a timber-beam structure. That was the standard way to build solid village houses in this region in the 1950s.

A Renovation Project

This house for sale in Kremen is a project, not a finished home. The bathroom, the kitchen and all installations need replacing.

The roof, joinery and services should be surveyed before any work is planned. Budget for a full renovation from the start.

Electricity is connected, and water comes from the mains supply.

For the right buyer, that is the appeal. You rebuild to your own layout and standard, instead of paying for someone else’s finishes.

Heating

The house for sale in Kremen has no heating system at the moment. A buyer will need to install one as part of the renovation.

Options include a wood or pellet stove, a boiler with radiators, or heat pumps. Kremen sits at 1,100 m, so plan and budget for heating early.

Running Costs: No Maintenance Fee

This house for sale in Kremen is a freestanding village house, so there is no maintenance fee.

You pay only for your own utilities and the annual local property tax. There are no shared facilities or management company to fund.
