House for sale 5+1 • 185 m² without real estateSchloss Lindich Nr.6, , Baden-Württemberg

You love nature and are looking for a unique residence in a quiet environment? Are you seeking a distinguished property on a historic castle estate that both created history and can tell stories? Do your eyes delight in the changing light and the impressions it creates? Even though you value an extraordinary, peaceful, and scenic location, you still want to be well connected to everything needed in life? Then you should be interested in the property we are offering! A charming residential house in the "Schloss Lindich" complex in Hechingen is waiting for you.

Schloss Lindich is, as a hunting and pleasure castle, one of the most outstanding estates in Southern Germany from an architectural standpoint. At the time of its construction in the 18th century, there were only a few similar examples of a square central building arranged in the middle of a radially octagonal overall complex with radiating avenues. Experts compare it with the radial arrangement of the Karlsruhe Palace, Schloss Clementswerth in Lower Saxony, or the later-built saline at Arc-et-Senans in France.

Schloss Lindich was built in 1743 and is located two kilometers from Hechingen, right in the middle of a protected landscape area. The property borders to the north a forest and to the southeast an open landscape area with views of Hohenzollern Castle and the golf course.

Despite its peaceful location, you are well connected in terms of transportation: the train station is reached in 10 minutes, the B 27 in 5 minutes, the A 81 in 20 minutes, Stuttgart Airport in 45 minutes, the footpaths of the Swabian Alb in 20 minutes, and the western Lake Constance in 60 minutes.

The listed castle complex includes, besides the main building in the center, seven so-called “Kavaliershäuser” arranged in a semicircle around it. An extensive, park-like green area connects all the buildings. A beautiful little garden in front of the house also invites you to enjoy time outdoors.

The castle complex is embedded in a magnificent natural landscape with panoramic views of Hohenzollern Castle and the Swabian Alb. Only two kilometers away lies Hechingen, which, as a regional center of the Neckar-Alb area, offers all everyday services, all types of schools, daycare centers (including a nearby forest kindergarten), healthcare facilities (doctors, pharmacies, physiotherapy, etc.), and other infrastructure (supermarkets, bakeries, cinemas, restaurants). In the immediate vicinity of Schloss Lindich, there are countless leisure opportunities (hiking, jogging, and cycling paths, 18-hole golf course, equestrian facilities, a fairy tale path, a play and forest educational trail). A tennis facility, an outdoor and indoor pool, as well as a mini-golf course, are within walking distance.

The historic, listed property Schloss Lindich can tell many stories: Schloss Lindich was the first residence of Napoleon’s step-granddaughter and the last Hechingen Princess Eugenie. Visits by General “von Steuben”, the piano virtuoso Franz Liszt, the composer Hector Berlioz, and the King of Prussia are all documented, as is the stay of the later Emperor Napoleon III of France during his youth, when he still lived at Schloss Arenenberg in Switzerland.

The offered Kavaliershaus was converted in 1991/92 from a horse stable into a residential house with modern comforts and was modernized in 2003. In 2024, a new state-of-the-art gas condensing central heating system was installed, which includes its own 6,400-liter liquid gas tank. Additionally, a modern, electronically controlled warm-air stove with visible flame provides power on multiple levels and creates a cozy atmosphere.

The residential house is in a renovated and well-maintained condition (though cosmetic repairs such as painting and some touch-ups will still be necessary).

Ground Floor: Upon entering the main entrance (with two additional side entrances) and walking through a vestibule with a cloakroom, you are greeted by a warm, inviting atmosphere. The spacious fireplace room with an electronically controlled warm-air stove (with visible flame) ensures coziness during the colder months and is perfect for enjoying lovely moments with guests. It could also easily be used for another purpose or divided differently. In the warmer season, this is the perfect room for indoor-outdoor living, since directly outside the front door—next to a generous seating area—lies a beautifully designed garden where you can spend relaxing hours.

In addition to the fireplace room, the ground floor features another room of roughly equal size, which is currently used as a tea kitchen and storage area. The dimensions here allow for alternative uses or subdivisions. A technical and laundry room, a guest toilet, and a hallway with a staircase complete the ground floor.

A convenient staircase leads you to the upper floor, which welcomes you with an open gallery, a library, a window overlooking the castle park, and a large glazed double sliding door. Through a small hallway, adjoining a guest toilet, a practical storage room, and a kitchen (fully fitted, with two windows), you enter the bright and sunlit living and dining room, which features four windows and the glass door offering views of Hohenzollern Castle, the castle building, and the front garden. Also on the upper floor, there is an exceptionally spacious bedroom, a smaller additional room, and a bathroom with a shower, bathtub, toilet, and window. An unfinished attic provides ample space for storing stage equipment.

Flooring: Parquet, tiles, natural fibers

Energy sources: Wood (warm-air stove with visible flame, with an additional option for a fireplace stove) as well as a new liquid gas condensing central heating system (installed February 2024) with its own 6,400-liter gas tank.

Energy certificate: Not required due to the property's listed status.

Living area: Approximately 185 m².

Total property area: Approximately 3.23 hectares, of which 13,333 m² is built-up area, 8,632 m² is forest, and 10,356 m² is agricultural land according to the tax office’s evaluation.

The property does not belong solely to you. Schloss Lindich is a complete ensemble, and this ensemble is meant to be preserved. Therefore, the land is not divided into individual parcels, but is legally considered a condominium association with the castle building divided among several special owners, as well as the seven so-called Kavaliershäuser arranged around the castle, which are all separate properties occupied by their respective owners. Each of the eight houses is responsible for the costs of its own administration, maintenance, and repair. Only the costs for the management, maintenance, and repair of the grounds (excluding the buildings) are shared by the co-owners in proportion to their ownership shares. The house for sale has a co-ownership share of 87/1000 in the overall property, combined with the exclusive ownership of all rooms in building House No. 6.
