Heroldsbach, Germany

A listed hunting lodge - also known as a "forester's lodge" due to its history - originally from the 16th century, which was temporarily owned by the state of Bavaria and was acquired and modernized by the current owners in the 1980s. The property (main house and enclosure) is a listed building and there is a detailed "finding" from the monument protection office from the 1980s, with detailed descriptions and photos. The current owners commissioned this at the time. The 4-storey building blends harmoniously into the beautiful property. The coach house and the former barn make a short walk across the property a picturesque exploration. The property is largely enclosed by a sandstone wall. The forecourt is gravelled and offers enough space for several vehicles without blocking the impressive round-arched house entrance. There are 2 wells on the property. The well in the rear garden is used for watering the garden and is several meters deep. One of the special features to be emphasized is the size of the property. The plot of 1754 square meters is generous, but still manageable, and the main building itself with a total of approx. 550 square meters spread over 4 floors offers a lot of space. This is rarely found in this form. The individual floors are attractively laid out and the rooms are very bright. The property can be used in many different ways, which makes it extremely attractive. There is space here for several generations, living and working are possible, as well as classic rental. Both a certificate of completion and a declaration of division are available. The property can be modernized again and is also attractive for investors in terms of costs via depreciation options.
