House for sale • 1200 m² without real estate, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

Here is the English translation of the text:

One of the last surviving BARN ESTATE HOMES in the country:

Estate manager’s house GODDIN with 7,000 (or up to 45,000) sqm of additional natural land with trees, meadow/pasture/garden, and ponds

The highlights:

Mecklenburg Lake District, near estate Ivenack (= lake with an island, the oldest oaks in Central Europe, an extensive park with a treetop walk).

One of the last of its kind; a barn–estate house, which was once also the estate manager’s house of what used to be the largest estate in the region

(7,902 hectares = the domain estate of the Plessen family, together with estate Ivenack, by the lake and park of the same name with the oldest oaks in Central Europe),

today awaiting new use after several years of vacancy, with 7,000 (+45,000?!) sqm of green surroundings in a very secluded, quiet location on the edge of a field,

accompanied by a tree population, garden, field/pasture/meadow, 2 or 3 ponds and the possibility to breathe new life into the space in the form of private living,

with a studio/LOFT and/or freelance/self-employed professional activity amidst the beautiful “Mäkelbörger” natural landscape.

A truly attractive purchase price (typically offered on a rent-to-own basis for projects) rounds the deal off.

A unique building, especially due to its QUIET rural edge location with unobstructed views; the plot, if expanded by purchase or lease, is larger than shown in the aerial view (outlined in red) – with potential extensions available by adjoining natural land (to the right, left, and toward the field)

(3 plots with ponds (municipal property),

1 plot with a tree stand and “enclosed” garden area or orchard meadow (private)).

Built on two floors with a large mansard roof, the attic area (formerly a grain chamber built in a continuously open structure with a beam construction),

Ground floor (EG): formerly a residential area behind the central projection, 1 former shop area (“Konsum”) + 1 stable section + 1 outbuilding on the ground floor with level access –

= 1,550 sqm including the loft;

The property is ideally suited for group and community living, assisted living/hospice, a preventive centre, a children and youth home, an (ayurvedic) healing centre, a meditation and cultural venue merging private living, studios, LOFTS, seminars, courses, and events (plus “open-air” functions)!

Also, a kind of “agricultural school” with directly adjoining model gardens (for permaculture, terra preta, etc., also including animal husbandry) as an “academy in the fields” would be very feasible at this location...

In any event, the large, quiet, and green property can be integrated directly into the aforementioned functions and uses…

Conclusion: A residential and commercial property for nature lovers, experts, and aficionados of unique historic properties;

it has been vacant for quite some time, stripped to a “raw” condition (in need of renovation), with corresponding building damages,

yet still retaining acceptable structural integrity, rural charm, a good layout, and usability.

Note: Possible extension areas

1) To the left of the road = a smaller pond with a tree stand

2) To the right, somewhat below the house = a larger pond with a meadow

3) To the northeast (upper right of the house): tree stand with an “enclosed” garden

4) The portion of the plot above area 2 = tree and shrub stand

Land register entries: There are no restrictions (easements, usufruct rights, or rights-of-way, etc.) recorded in all three sections.

The property is sold free of any encumbrances.

A bus – the line connecting NB and Stavenhagen – passes by the very edge of the property (on the street side, around the “hedge island” near the bus stop) on weekdays 1–3 times a day, apparently by tacit agreement with the municipality.

This fact, which does not practically impose any restrictions, can nevertheless be revised, just as the municipality has already offered to relocate the recycling containers opposite the bus stop…

3 ponds, 1 small “forest section”, green spaces or a former orchard meadow:

this is possible with the current owners (private and municipal) according to agreement!

Regarding the private property, there is an indication of readiness to sell, with the mayor having already held concrete discussions and actively promised support.

NOTE: In acquiring the property, you may assume local sale prices of approximately €10,000–15,000 per hectare.

In the case of leasing individual plots, note that the annual lease fees (typical for the region) are VERY low...

No previous building restrictions (or prohibitions, etc.) are known either by the current owner or by other interested parties.

Specific statements regarding the feasibility of individual design ideas can only be made after discussions or approvals by the monument protection authorities and the building department.

The property is under the curatorship of the “German Monument Protection” Foundation!

Note: When considering financing for renovation, conversion, and other investments (technical installations, infrastructure, heating, doors, windows, insulation, etc.), please bear in mind that for historic properties—in addition to the sheer SIZE of this property—especially estate houses and “related” properties, banks practically offer NO construction or renovation loans!
