Offered is a historic inn with a ballroom, stage, and outbuildings in an idyllic location, situated directly beside the church in an old horseshoe settlement with a thousand-year history—quietly located in a dead-end street and surrounded by fields, meadows, and paths. The 1,557 m² plot is divided into the front inner courtyard with its old cobblestones, the rear yard featuring a 125‑year‑old lime tree with a small garden including a play lawn, and a lower-lying area with a parking lot and a second garden.

Since the year 2000, a comprehensive renovation has been carried out with special attention paid to the historical elements and evidence of the past, preserving and restoring the unique charm. A second focus was on improving the energy efficiency through careful yet very effective insulation of facades and roof surfaces, with particular attention to moisture regulation. As a result, the operating costs of the buildings are relatively low; additionally, there is a fully biological sewage treatment plant with free direct discharge, 4,000 liters of rainwater collected for the washing machine and toilets, and hot water provided by solar thermal energy and a heat pump for economical ancillary costs.

Equipment:

• New “biberschwanz” (tailbeam) roof tiling installed on four buildings in 2001 (except for the ballroom),

• Complete restoration of the timber framing and the historic plasterwork (completed by 2021),

• Complete renewal of the electrical system, water supply, and sewage installations,

• An efficient central heating system with excellent performance (oil, approximately 5,000 liters per year, approved until 2040), supplemented by 7 modern or historic individual wood-fired stoves,

• Thermo-wood windows (installed in 2001),

• Internal wall insulation within the timber-framed sections,

• Exterior facade insulation completed in 2017/2020 (using mineral fiber boards),

• A large conservatory extension added in 2008,

• An elaborately designed steam sauna (2018),

• Two basement rooms plus a romantic, old vaulted cellar (formerly used for beer brewing).

There is no significant renovation backlog—only occasional minor repairs here and there, as everything was renovated piece by piece over many years with great care and attention to detail. Thanks to the extensive insulation work, converting to a heat pump is easily possible. A decisive advantage of this property is that there are three large roof areas in perfect alignment available for photovoltaic installation, which can then be used to generate electricity and/or for heating.

The property is located in a quiet dead-end street of the Burtschütz district in the municipality of Elsteraue, which has an elementary school, kindergarten, doctor, discount store, bakery, and various clubs. Only 2 km away is Zeitz (23,000 inhabitants, with secondary schools, a hospital, a Kaufland, etc.). Additionally, further creative projects—such as alternative housing forms—have already been established in the nearby area.

Surrounded by fields, meadows, and paths, the property is very close to the Elster cycle path. Leipzig is approximately a 40-minute drive by car via the B2. There are hourly train connections from Zeitz or Profen to Leipzig (about 40 minutes travel time), with an S-Bahn connection in preparation. The A9 or A4 motorways can be reached within 25 km.

So if you, with your (large) family, shared housing community, or residential or artistic project, wish to escape the hustle and bustle of the big city and are looking for a high-quality, renovated, nature-adjacent, peaceful yet not isolated property with plenty of historical flair, you might feel right at home here. The property is particularly well suited for communal living projects due to its flexible division into shared and private retreat spaces, and offers good refinancing potential through the varied usage options of the ballroom.
