House for sale • 240 m² without real estate, Hesse

Anno 1801 – A stately former rectory with unique character and spacious layout.

This impressive former rectory combines historical charm with exceptional spaciousness and a wealth of valuable original architectural features. New owners who appreciate the unique and take pleasure in filling such a property with life are sought.

The property is ideally suited for a large family, enthusiasts of historic architecture, or for a prestigious use such as an office headquarters. Keeping animals here is also very well possible.

The estate was constructed as an imposing half-timbered house built from oak wood on a solid sandstone plinth. The approximately 240 m² of living space is distributed over two full floors as well as a converted attic. The space is further extended by a large attic, several basement rooms, and a charming, solidly built garden house complete with electricity, water and wastewater connections, a fireplace, and its own attic.

Two facades of the house are presented with visible half-timbering, while the other sides are protected by a renewed wooden shingle facade with ecological insulation. Original wooden tilt shutters, historic doors, elaborate wood paneling, and a stylish wooden staircase with turned balusters shape the interior of the house. High ceilings, generously proportioned rooms, visible oak beams, and massive walls lend the building an impressive aura. A comfortably tempered vaulted cellar as well as numerous details in wood and sandstone attest to the quality of traditional craftsmanship.

Both the ground floor and the upper floor offer approximately 90 m² of living space each with a variety of usage options.

On the ground floor, there is a spacious kitchen with a dining counter, a study with a library, a living and dining area, a guest room with a shower, and a guest W.C.

The upper floor features a roomy bedroom with a dressing area and a large bathroom, a living room, and an additional bedroom.

In the attic there are two smaller rooms, a large room with a kitchenette, and a bathroom.

Additional storage space is provided by built-in wardrobes, practical ancillary rooms, and a spacious attic.

The lovingly landscaped garden is a special highlight: Designed on several levels, with ancient trees, blooming shrubs, and numerous plants, it invites you to linger in every season. Sandstone stairs and paths, a lilac arbor, a historic sandstone table, and a small pond create an idyllic atmosphere. The solidly built garden house, which was formerly used as a baking and laundry house, now offers versatile possibilities.

The lower part of the property with a carport is enclosed by a wrought-iron courtyard gate with separate access to the street. A high sandstone wall on the street side as well as further enclosures ensure privacy and protection.

Heating is provided by a modern wood pellet central heating system with solar support. In addition, a large tiled stove on the ground floor and two smaller tiled stoves on the upper floor provide comfortable warmth and an exceptionally pleasant indoor climate.

Listed half-timbered houses of this size, in such well-preserved condition, and with such a generous plot are very rarely available in our region. This makes the offer a unique opportunity.

The estate is registered as a cultural monument. For owner-occupiers there are attractive funding opportunities as well as tax advantages within the framework of monument depreciation (Denkmal-AfA). We are happy to provide you with further detailed information on this.

Quiet, nature-oriented location in the rural catchment area of Frankfurt am Main.

The property is located in the idyllic setting of Biebergemünd in the Main-Kinzig district – quietly situated on a residential street at the edge of the village yet excellently connected. Beyond the property, meadows and forests offer further access to nature.

At the same time, the location impresses with its very good everyday infrastructure: a supermarket and a bus stop are within a few minutes' walk. A kindergarten, primary school, and playground are also conveniently nearby and easily accessible.

Secondary schools, including middle schools and high schools, are located in Gelnhausen and are well connected by public transport. The town also offers a wide range of educational opportunities up to vocational and technical schools.

On site, there is also solid infrastructure: doctors, dentists, veterinarians, shopping opportunities, sports clubs, and a heated outdoor pool ensure a high quality of life.

The transport connections are equally attractive:

Frankfurt am Main is approximately 50 km away (about a 45-minute drive to the airport), and Aschaffenburg is around 35 km away. The nearest DB train station is approximately 11 km away, and the A66 motorway (Frankfurt–Fulda) can be reached in about 13 km.

For nature lovers, the surroundings have a special appeal: The Spessart Nature Park with its numerous hiking, biking, and walking trails practically begins at the front door. Popular destinations such as the Wiesbüttsee – set amidst a unique moor landscape – or the so-called “Snow White Trail” invite excursions into an extraordinarily beautiful environment.

This remarkable house has been in family ownership for over 60 years and has been carefully maintained and further developed during that time.

A comprehensive renovation was already carried out in the past. In addition, ongoing measures for preservation and conservation have been undertaken – always with the aim of preserving the original building fabric and using only high-quality, healthy materials.

For example, the heating system was converted to a modern pellet heating system with solar support, the wooden shingle facade was completely renewed and provided with ecological insulation, the wood stove for the tiled stoves was modernized, and the roof surfaces at the carport and entrance area were refurbished. Furthermore, the electrical, water (copper), wastewater, and heating pipes (copper) have already been renewed.

This unique property not only offers extraordinary historic charm but also the rare opportunity to combine historical substance with your own living concepts and to imprint your very personal signature on the house.

No fundamental interventions are required – rather, it is about carefully continuing what already exists. For example, a bathroom can be reinterpreted in a way that reflects the character of the house while simultaneously offering modern comfort tailored to your preferences.

In a property of this kind, it is precisely these decisions – materials, colors, and design details – that are as individual as its future owners.

The effort required for this has already been taken into account in the pricing. In addition, the monument status offers attractive tax perspectives as well as additional public funding opportunities for acquisition and modernization, which can significantly offset investments.

Thus, a special opportunity is created to combine historical substance with your personal style and to create a home that is not “off the shelf” but truly unique.

Perhaps this is exactly the place where not only a house but your very own piece of history will continue to be written.

We would be happy to provide you with further information in a personal discussion.
