A unique ensemble of three buildings on an idyllic island in the heart of Kenzingen’s old town.
This property is a true rarity – regardless of how you wish to use it:
• As an exclusive private retreat
• As a multi-generational property
• For the immediate continuation of hotel and gastronomy operations
• For the establishment of a Michelin-star restaurant
• As an event venue
• As a training facility with accommodation
• To convert the hotel rooms into crew accommodations
• Or as a combination of gastronomy and private use
For sale is a genuine rarity – near Freiburg:
A complete island in the middle of the Elz in Kenzingen, on which stands a charming hotel ensemble with a restaurant, a steakhouse, a beer garden, and an event hall.
The restaurant – formerly the municipal abattoir, built around 1903 – was lovingly renovated in 2013 with a complete core refurbishment and impresses with a blend of modern-rustic style.
The sanitary facilities were also renewed and are a real delight to behold. An operator’s apartment (2.5 rooms – currently rented) and several office as well as staff rooms are located on the upper floor. Underfloor heating is installed on the ground floor.
The beer garden, a highlight right on the Elz, is very popular and offers seating for up to 200 guests. In addition to the large kitchen of the restaurant, the existing steakhouse (approx. 65 sqm) with two cold storage rooms, a kitchen, and a bar counter enables swift service.
The building currently used as a hotel was completed in 2006 and is rated 3-Star (DEHOGA). The equipment is well-maintained – a plus: all rooms are fitted with marble floors and are thus allergy-friendly. There are 12 hotel rooms as well as 2 fully equipped holiday apartments.
The 2,123 sqm island offers a unique opportunity not only to own your own island but also to combine proximity to nature, seclusion, and excellent accessibility, on the edge of Kenzingen’s old town.
The only access to the island is via a massive bridge (up to 7.5 tons). Thus, if desired, complete seclusion with 100% privacy is possible.
The bridge is owned by the city – meaning no maintenance costs!
100% Flood Protected: Water level regulation through a weir in Riegel
This island is an unparalleled location – it brings together the best of both worlds: seclusion and pure nature, combined with proximity to the city. With a land area of 2,123 sqm, it offers plenty of space for extensions or individual usage concepts.
This island is not just a property but a rarity that is unmatched in its form and location. The natural boundary formed by the Elz River creates exclusive privacy rarely found elsewhere. At the same time, the island lies in the heart of Kenzingen – easily accessible yet its own secluded world.
The region around Kenzingen is in high demand due to its proximity to Europapark, the Kaiserstuhl wine region, and the Black Forest. The train station is a 5-minute walk away. The combination of tourist appeal and a unique property makes this a sustainable and future-proof investment.
An island like this – an oasis in nature – is more than just a plot of land; it is an experience that offers nearly unlimited possibilities for the future owner.
