It's always land value plus house value. A friend of mine bought an old farm house on a large piece of land for less than a used car's worth. Why so cheap? The land would be worth a fortune alone, but the farm house was a few hundred years old (take that, USA!), in a bad shape, and listed as a protected building, i.e. he had to do any kind of "making it habitable" under close scrutiny of bureaucrats and historians. The family worked their asses off every weekend for over a decade and spent a fortune on historically correct materials.
