Purchase price €495,000 (commission-free, private sale)

Property Description:

Secure the most prominent and charming building in the historic heart of Zerpenschleuse (municipality Wandlitz)! For sale is the former, long-established village inn in a spectacular first-line waterfront location – right next to the new bascule bridge.

Thanks to the successful reopening and the continuous navigability of the Finow Canal, this property sits at the absolute center of the regional water tourism scene. Skippers, paddlers, cycling tourists, and walkers enjoy this idyll daily.

Another unbeatable location advantage:

The Heidekrautbahn station (RB27) is located right in town. From here, Berlin’s city center (only about 40 km as the crow flies to Alexanderplatz) is perfectly and stress‑free accessible.

This makes the property extremely attractive for Berlin project developers, commuters, and weekend explorers.

The building is old and full of character and charm. In the upper section, the slate turrets have been expertly restored.

The building is already largely cleared out and almost completely gutted. You can start immediately with your own vision.

The Great Heritage Protection Advantage:

The building is located in a protected heritage area (ensemble protection) but is NOT an individual listed monument. For you as a buyer, this is the main benefit: you reap enormous tax write-offs (heritage/renovation depreciation) while enjoying maximum freedom and flexibility in the interior design without strict governmental restrictions on the building!

Potential & Usage Ideas:

If you’re coming from Berlin, you drive over the bridge across the Oder-Havel Canal into the village. ZERPENSCHLEUSE is situated at the crossroads of two canals: the historic Finow Canal that flows right through the village and the Oderhavel Canal. There is a Heidekrautbahn station at the canal intersection that connects you in just over 30 minutes to Berlin’s S‑bahn station Karow.

Zerpenschleuse is located in a region of stunning landscapes, with many lakes, meadows, forests, hiking trails, cycling paths, and the opportunity to canoe along the canals from one spot to another. This has also been discovered by many tourists and Berliners seeking to relax in this dreamily beautiful setting.

The old inn had a huge hall that has been demolished. The hall side as well as the south side would need to be plastered.

The sides facing the canal and the street are constructed with high‑quality yellow clinker bricks which, despite their age, are still very well preserved. Once professionally cleaned, the clinker will shine in its former beauty.

Grant funding can be applied for during the restoration of the beautiful stucco on the facade.

When renewing the slate roofing and the slate turrets with metal tops, grant funding was also secured.
