House for sale 7+1 • 214 m² without real estateDagobertstr 4, , Rhineland-Palatinate

The single-family house, built around 1930, is located in the picturesque village center of Frankweiler and has two floors, with the upper floor featuring slight sloping ceilings. The ceiling height measures a generous 2.60 m on the ground floor and 2.50 m on the upper floor, which meets current standards. The overall condition of the house can be described as very solid and does not impede a comprehensive renovation in any way.

Some of the original wooden plank floors are still intact and could be refinished with a moderate amount of work. In some rooms, the floor coverings have already been removed down to the screed. The windows are high-quality aluminum with insulated glazing from the 1980s. Both the frames and the sashes are in very good condition; however, from an energy-efficiency perspective, it might be advisable to at least replace the glass panes. The costs for this, however, are manageable. The roof is watertight and the ceiling of the top floor has already been insulated, so there are no immediate costs expected in this area.

All the installations (electricity, water, and heating) as well as the interior plaster need to be renewed, since these systems are outdated and the house has also been empty for several years. While no damage is apparent, it cannot be entirely ruled out.

The overall property consists of a front house and an adjoining former barn. The front house covers approximately 150 m² of living space. For the conversion of the former barn, a building permit has already been approved. This allows an additional 64 m² of living space to be developed, resulting in a total living area of 214 m². Also approved is the construction of an integrated garage, which allows you to enter your new house dry at any time.

The layout of the rooms is completely open to design. The provided plans are proposals by the architect who accompanied the building permit process. These proposals can be adopted as is or modified. Additionally, there is an accessible attic with a width of approximately 4 meters and an average height of around 2.10 meters.

At the rear of the house, there is a slightly sloping square garden of about 150 m², from which you can look out towards the Palatinate Forest and watch the sunset in the evenings.

The house is located on a quiet side street in Frankweiler, ideal for families and those seeking tranquility.

From the front house, you enjoy a view over the roofs of Frankweiler towards the Rhine Plain, and from the former barn you have a direct view of the Palatinate Forest—a daily delight!

Frankweiler, together with its surroundings, offers a variety of leisure and recreational opportunities. The gentle hills of the Palatinate Forest and the surrounding vineyards invite you to extended hikes, bike tours, and walks. Nature lovers appreciate the proximity to Trifels Castle, a regional landmark, as well as other attractions such as the Palatinate Forest Biosphere Reserve and the idyllic Wild and Hiking Park Südliche Weinstraße in Silz.

The region is also known for its numerous wine festivals and the typically Palatine hospitality. Regular events in the surrounding wine villages provide insight into the local wine culture and create a convivial atmosphere. Families will find attractive excursion destinations and playgrounds, while sports enthusiasts can take advantage of climbing opportunities, riding stables, and designated mountain bike trails.

Frankweiler is conveniently located and easily accessible. In 5 minutes, you are on Federal Highway B10; in 10 minutes, you reach the A65 as well as Landau or Annweiler am Trifels. Karlsruhe and Mannheim can be reached in about 45 minutes.

For the renovation and development of the former barn, the central location in the village center offers the particularly attractive possibility of tax incentives based on the local renovation statute. The basis is that the municipality wishes to reduce vacancy in the village center and therefore offers attractive funding possibilities for renovations.

This is a sale without an agent – which means you save over €13,000 in agency fees.

Specifically, this means that 90% of all renovation costs can be depreciated over 10 years for tax purposes. You thus receive an annual tax refund of up to 42% on the renovation costs. Whether you intend to occupy the property yourself or rent it out is irrelevant.

Additionally, there is the so-called village renewal program. Here, the exterior renovation (windows, roof, façade) of old buildings is subsidized up to 35%, capped at €30,000.

Finally, you can, of course, take advantage of funding from KfW and BAFA for energy-efficient renovations. In this case, it is possible to receive grants of up to 70% for individual measures as well as reduced-interest loans.

In each case, 2 of the 3 different funding options can be combined, which results in overall funding of over 55% of your total renovation costs when all funding options are optimally utilized.

I am happy to put you in contact with the local planner responsible for Frankweiler.

Due to the vacancy, the energy certificate is a demand certificate. This assumes typical energy demand values for the construction period (from 1930) and does not take into account any renovation measures already carried out, such as the window replacement (1980) or the insulation of the top floor ceiling (2022). Therefore, the energy demand is always a “worst-case” estimate and generally has little to do with the actual energy consumption.

This is a sale without an agent – meaning you also save over €13,000 in additional costs.
