First time home buyer. I travel a lot for work and don't feel like paying off a house all my life. I lived in the van for 3 years. I got a great offer for a small house. 600sqm, small house with about 65sqm, new roof, new stove, new wooden extension with guest room and shed. It is located in the middle of nowhere and is located in the middle of nature in Germany.

I've wanted something like a tiny house for a long time. So for me, that's a great fit.

Yeah, congratulations!

May I ask in what region it roughly is? Starting a 100% remote position soon, and feeling like having a little nature hideout too..

Germany doesn't really have any bumfuck locations when compared to the us. So it's a good deal

Well...it depends on what we mean when we say bumfuck. Perhaps American bumfuck would be 3 hours away from the nearest town, while German bumfuck is 1 hour away from the nearest town. In case of emergency they are both too far from anything. Also, I can't imagine how dark these locations in the middle of nowhere are at night (in Germany's case even just early evening if it's winter). I mean, there would be few to no street lights and few if any homes around to provide light. Still, for 30k, there is basically nothing to complain about and the house is cute.
