House for sale • 3600 m² without real estate, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

'SCHLOSS ZETTEMIN' –

A unique manor house in a semi-circular construction style

Ideal location between Müritz, Malchiner See & Kummerower See (Mecklenburg Lake District) as well as near Mecklenburg Switzerland (a chain of hills), approximately 60 minutes’ drive to the Baltic Sea coast!

THREE options for acquisition, financing/lease purchase or operation/utilization of network resources: see the notes further down in the text!

TOTAL PURCHASE PRICE: €795,000

Partial use (i.e. one of 2 side wings or the main building = €219,000 / €249,000 / €319,000) is also possible!

A large central building (manor house/corps de logis) with two lateral, each quarter-circle-shaped extensions containing 10 and 11 residential units respectively.

The left side wing was raised (circa 1920) or provided with a hip roof, while the right wing remains in its original construction with a mansard roof,

each with 2 full floors plus a large expansion potential in both attic areas – for example, for holiday apartments/guest rooms or top-floor loft-style apartments!

Within the main house, there are 14 lounges of various sizes and locations (park view or facing the circular forecourt = courtyard of the former estate / “place of peace”)…

Nearby is the historic Lenné park with its old trees; the area is currently being re-planned or provided with a new, Baroque axis of perspective – a garden complex, located at the edge of the fields with “datschen”, completes the ensemble. Both plots, together with approximately 1.5 hectares of additional usable area, form the complete package…

This interesting and unique property offers not only an exceptionally central yet quiet location but also, in terms of “acquisition, usability AND potential project integration” (participation in the network project “Sieben Eichen”), several special features.

Extensive additional ideas for usage, conversion plans, and design possibilities can be found in our separate exposé!

This manor house is ONE of over 100 historic properties in our program!

EQUIPMENT / MEDIA / USABILITY:

The details individually:

– The property is AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY for purchase and use.

– Building and land are sold free of any encumbrances in the land register.

– The building and land are connected to all the usual utilities for supply and disposal. The three segments of the building are, depending on current usage, connected to the public water and electricity supply, to SAT-TV, and to the public waste disposal.

– Wastewater disposal is (typical for the region) carried out via a “septic tank”, which, on an existing exclave of the property (near the gardens), can be replaced by a plant-based treatment system with a reed bed.

– WLAN or connection to a fiber optic network: since the route Waren/Malchin was connected to a fiber network already in 2022, the community of Z. has been connected to a comprehensive gigabit-capable infrastructure from 2023 – the installation of an additional in-house WLAN network is possible…

─────────────────────────────

EQUIPMENT / MEDIA / USABILITY (continued):

– A complete documentation of all rooms in the main house and side wings (apartments, lounges, offices, etc.) is available in the form of 13 large-format floor plans as well as elevations and section drawings.

– A digitized (3-D) version of the building plans is also available and is included with approximately €25,000 in planning work or in the purchase price.

– A comprehensive building insurance policy has been arranged.

– The building has been vacated since the end of last year (i.e. without tenants). The rooms still used by the project 7-E (1 M.A. apartment, 1 guest room, 2 offices, 1 kitchen, 1 bathroom, plus 3 lounges used as a library/assembly and multifunctional spaces) were cleared out due to a move to a newly acquired, larger project center near Peene, so that work on implementing one's own plans (renovation, conversion, and redesign of the building) can begin promptly!

Due to its size, location, and layout, the property is ideally suited for uses such as a spa hotel/castle hotel, seminar and event center, offices, gastronomy, tourism combined with private living, and can even be supplemented by “assisted living” and/or guest rooms (holiday apartments/serviced apartments), practices/wellness areas, etc.

Just from the sale of the 18–21 residential units in the two side wings, as well as the 2 to 4 luxury lofts in the attic of the main house (489 sqm over 2 floors) – in the current structural condition – a refinancing sum of approximately €1.5 million arises!

Moreover, profits from the sale of finished/ready-to-move-in residential units, as well as ongoing rental and lease income from the use of all 14 rooms and lounges in the main house (offices, event rooms, café/bistro on the ground and upper floors), have not yet been taken into account!

As mentioned, there are “entries” as well as demands and (co-)usages of all kinds from the project “7-E”…

HISTORICAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE LOCATION & BUILDING / CONSTRUCTION DETAILS / PREPARATORY WORK:

Zettemin is a community in the district “Mecklenburgische Seenplatte” in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It is located off the main routes, yet centrally positioned between Müritz, Malchiner See, and Kummerower See, and has about 200 inhabitants.

The village of Z. (Cethemyn) is located approximately 10 km south of the health resort town Stavenhagen and was first mentioned in a document in 1261. Due to the later establishment of a manor house, it developed into a manor village.

The village scene is dominated by the manor house Zettemin (in literature also referred to as “Schloss Z.” or “the round building”), which was built in 1750 as a symmetrically arranged complex in the style of late Baroque with a seven-axial central block (corps de logis) constructed in brick, to which a two-story, quarter-circle shaped side wing is attached on each side.

The main house is constructed as a three- (or four-) story building with a pedimented central risalit and a high hipped roof (with a 9.5-meter-high mansard) and is under monument protection.

– Preliminary discussions with the responsible authorities have already taken place…

NOTE:

Due to space limitations, the continuation of the “History” is available in our separately obtainable exposé!

Subsequently, the ensemble became the property of the local community. At that time, apartments were built into the two side wings and, in the main house, a nursery, school rooms, and various public facilities such as a bank branch, hairdresser, village shop (“Konsum”), a local shooting club, and a village exhibition were established.

In 2004, the community sold the manor house for the purpose of establishing “assisted living” before the new owner could acquire it for the project “7-E.”

Since then, extensive preparatory work has been carried out (dismantling of ancillary buildings, various clearances, disassembly of damaged fixtures, maintenance of green areas, planning, etc.).

─────────────────────────────

INFRASTRUCTURE / CONNECTIVITY / RETAIL OPTIONS / DOCTORS / SCHOOLS, etc.:

The property is ideally situated in the “triangle” between Müritz, Malchiner See, and Kummerower See (Mecklenburg Lake District).

The main ridge and a high spur of the “Mecklenburg Switzerland” hill chain (a recreational area, wooded, near lakes, with cycle, equestrian, and hiking trails) are visible.

Train services on the “Nordostbahn” run 7 days a week at hourly intervals with Regional Express connections and are usable with the “Meck-Pomm” or BB-ticket towards Hanseatic cities/coast, Berlin/Brandenburg, Stettin, the islands of Rügen & Usedom, as well as Hamburg & Lübeck.

Next train stations: Malchin and Stavenhagen, or (with ICE connection: Waren/Müritz = approximately 1¼ hours travel time to Berlin)!

In only three designated nearby centers, the nearest shopping opportunities are available: 14 grocery stores (Edeka/Rewe/Famila/Aldi/Lidl/Netto/Penny), 3 shopping centers with pharmacies, 7 hardware stores, fashion outlets, doctors, physiotherapists, etc., as well as various gas stations, approximately 15 auto repair shops, 18 schools, several kindergartens, bank branches, specialty stores, and other typical infrastructure characterize these central hubs.

A larger, well-regarded district hospital, complemented by three “doctors’ houses,” is located in the Hanseatic town of Demmin, with additional partly private specialist clinics found in nearby Waren/Müritz or Teterow.

The next adjacent medium-sized center (with a picturesque old town, cultural offerings, a medieval city wall, a large shopping center, 4 hardware stores, 4 furniture stores, gastronomy/tourism, the very attractive nature-oriented Tollense Lake, and a strategically favorable location – a railway hub between Berlin, the Baltic Sea coast, and Stettin) is approximately 40 km away in Neubrandenburg.

ACQUISITION / USAGE IN THE NETWORK / PARTICIPATION AS A COOPERATION PARTNER:

The manor “Schloss Z.” is available in THREE variants for acquisition, project financing, and usage:

Variant A:

Acquisition for one’s own purposes (i.e., for free availability by the new owner)

Variant B:

Acquisition for owner-occupancy (e.g. hotel/guesthouse, cultural/events, offices, commercial/freelance activities, assisted living, private living, etc.),

with arrangements for seasonal, temporary, or as-needed use complemented by project usages such as cultural programs, self-organized “7-E” events, the provision of car-sharing vehicles, mediation of co-tenants (renters/lessees, condominium owners, co-investors, service providers, event organizers, etc.)

Variant C:

Acquisition in the above form plus participation in the project network as a cooperation partner with access to the full range of offerings of project “7-E” (architectural and construction consulting, construction and other services, supply and disposal solutions via regional partners, mediation of guests and participants of all kinds, integration into cultural programs and project structures, exchange and mutual assistance).

In certain cases, the ensemble (by agreement) can also be acquired by network participants/cooperation partners via lease purchase…

Detailed information on the above points (site plan/floor plans, etc.) is available upon request!

In Z., between 2025 and 2027, the initiator (or a new owner) will carry out extensive energy-efficient renovations and project-related modernizations.

─────────────────────────────

ACQUISITION / USAGE IN THE NETWORK / PARTICIPATION AS A COOPERATION PARTNER (continued):

IMPORTANT: Based on several inquiries already received, an attractive and cost-effective option has emerged for “Schloss Z.” whereby only parts of the property (for example, solely the main house or one of the two side wings, with areas starting from 800, 1,000, or 1,200 sqm) are used –

Purchase prices in this case €219,000 / €249,000 or €319,000 respectively!

It is noteworthy in this context that Schloss Z. offers the special opportunity to preserve outstanding historic building fabric of feudal origin within a social housing project. With the means and objectives of “Sieben Eichen,” not only can the building be (re)given a “public function,” but it can also be collaboratively developed into one of the leading project houses in the country.

Note: An entry found on some portals regarding the history of manor houses and describing a partial ownership by the municipality of Z. is incorrect or outdated. Only the “head part” of the right side wing (house no. 60, identifiable by its newer wood/mullion windows) is privately owned as a holiday apartment (used approximately 1–2 weeks per year; potential acquisition with the current owners has already been discussed)!

Final remark:

From the above detailed description, you can see that this is a LARGE house within a LARGER network (with correspondingly many possibilities)…

Further ideas, floor plans, and design variants can be found in our separately available EXPOSÉ!
