alt Hacker NewsI read these properties are actually some of the most expensive properties in The Netherlands ($ million dollar).
But no electricity (need generator) and you cannot drive your car to your lakehouse.
Plus, I bet the mosquitos are horrible, it is a former swamp.

I was gonna say the same about the mosquitos. Also, the mosquito-borne diseases in Europe are increasing and one definitely don't wanna catch dengue fever
Easily over a million for the ones without neighbors. The most expensive one was listed for 13 million.
These are holiday homes for wealthy elites in Amsterdam. You either go there straight from Amsterdam by helicopter or you have a chauffeur drive/boat you there. These people don’t drive themselves.
But probably not for long with non-primary real estate being taxed at 2.2% a year.
There is electricity now, but it's quite new. Before that ours used to run on solar + batteries, you don't want a noisy generator in the middle of a nature area. A holiday home doesn't need that much electricity, warm water and heating use gas.
Prices are typical for this side of the country.
