House for sale • 298 m² without real estate, Bavaria

Offered is a representative architect’s villa in timeless Bauhaus style, located in a prime area of Zapfendorf. This extraordinary property impresses with its light-filled rooms, a generous living area* of 298 m², an additional usable area* of 90 m², and a beautiful view into the Main valley. A continuous 28 m² balcony—with three accesses from the ground floor—features a natural stone external staircase leading to a 45 m² garden terrace that can be reached in three ways from the basement. In the sheltered courtyard (85 m²) with two basement accesses, firewood can be stored, laundry dried, and even used as a play area.

Overall, this is a unique opportunity combining style, lasting value, and quality of life on a 1157 m² plot.

The villa was planned and built in 1975 in Bauhaus style under the direction of the renowned architect Friedrich Thiel and is regarded as a masterpiece of contemporary architecture. It was conceived with the utmost care and built using materials of enduring value. For example, Poroton planter bricks were used for the outer walls. All window and door elements are of indestructible carpentry work made of oak wood and aluminum. On a combined living and usable area of 388 m², thirty rooms are spread over two floors – of which 12 rooms are designated for living and dwelling purposes and are characterized by their spaciousness and open layout. Heated natural stone floors on the upper floor create a pleasant living climate, while fitted wardrobes and a separate dressing room ensure order and elegance. The access to the upper floor is made barrier-free with a single step outside. Special accents are provided by the country room with its central tiled stove on the ground floor and the fireplace room with a heating cassette on the upper floor, perfect for enjoying cozy hours by the wood fire – rooms that truly embody comfort and style. A generous balcony and a spacious terrace invite you to sit back and relax. A sauna promises relaxation in a private atmosphere. A well-kept garden complete with a garden pond and front garden rounds off the ensemble. The property is fully basemented and offers a double garage with direct access to the house. An ancillary apartment with its own separate entrance from a private courtyard perfectly expands the property’s functional possibilities – whether for rental purposes, as a separate apartment for guests or adult family members, or as accommodation for domestic or care staff. The location is near schools, the train station, an indoor pool, and local amenities. Despite excellent motorway connections, the villa is quietly situated in a residential area with a very strong community.

*Living area = total area – usable area (basement, laundry room, heating room, and garage)

The villa is located at Oberweg 30 in 96199 Zapfendorf – an address that combines closeness to nature with excellent infrastructure. Nestled near the river paradise of Franken and the Main River, the immediate area offers an idyllic atmosphere. Local shopping is optimally provided by an Edeka, Lidl market, and several other local shops. Families benefit from a kindergarten that is only a few minutes’ walk away and the neighboring Zapfendorf primary school, while secondary schools in nearby cities can be reached easily and quickly by train. In general, the transport connections meet every need: The “Frankenschnellweg” A73 (Suhl – Nuremberg) and the Bamberger Kreuz with the “Maintalautobahn” A70 (Bayreuth – Werneck) are quickly accessible via a private driveway. Zapfendorf train station offers a direct connection on the Bamberg line (approximately 13 minutes’ travel time) and from there to the ICE high-speed network, making it possible to reach Munich or Berlin in well under three hours. Numerous recreational opportunities – such as Aquarena Zapfendorf, hiking and cycling paths along the Main and Itz rivers, and the charming surroundings of the Franconian Garden of God – enhance everyday life.
