Couiza
View original listingOverview
Our Analysis
Priced significantly above the local market average of €872/m², this villa seeks a premium for its dual-living configuration and views, though the total living space remains modest at 93m². The inclusion of an independent lower-level gite offers rental potential or multi-generational utility, but buyers should consider the friction of managing two separate dwellings with electric-heavy heating costs. Given the 1980s construction and wood/electric heating mix, the DPE 'D' rating suggests some efficiency or insulation work was likely done, but energy costs will remain a key budgetary factor in winter.
