For sale is a true rarity – near Freiburg:
A complete island in the middle of the Elz in Kenzingen, featuring a charming hotel ensemble with a restaurant, a steakhouse, a beer garden, and an event hall.
The restaurant – formerly the municipal slaughterhouse, built around 1903 – was lovingly renovated in 2013 and impresses with a mix of modern and rustic styles.
The sanitary facilities have also been renewed and are a real delight to behold. An on-site operator’s apartment (2.5 rooms – currently rented) and several office and staff rooms are located on the upper floor. The ground floor is equipped with underfloor heating.
The beer garden, a highlight right by 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 m²) with 2 refrigerated rooms, a kitchen, and a service counter enables fast service.
The residential building, currently used as a hotel, was completed in 2006 and is rated with a 3-star classification (DEHOGA). The equipment is well maintained – a major plus: all rooms have marble floors, making them allergy-friendly. There are 12 hotel rooms as well as 2 fully equipped holiday apartments.
The island, covering an area of 2,123 m², not only offers a unique opportunity to own your own island, but also combines closeness to nature, seclusion, and excellent accessibility at the edge of Kenzingen’s old town.
The only access to the island is provided 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-Safe: Water level regulation through a weir in Riegel
This island is an incomparable place – it combines the best of both worlds: seclusion and pure nature coupled with proximity to the town. With a lot area of 2,123 m², it offers ample room for expansions or individual usage concepts.
This island is not just a property but a rarity that is second to none in its form and location. The natural boundary formed by the Elz river creates an exclusive level of privacy that few places can offer. At the same time, the island lies in the heart of Kenzingen – easily accessible while still being your own protected world.
The region around Kenzingen is highly sought after 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 plot makes this property a sustainable and future-proof investment.
An island like this – an oasis in nature – is more than just a plot of land; it’s an experience and offers almost unlimited possibilities to the future owner.
