House for sale • 1200 m² without real estate, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

Below is the English translation of the text marked by the tag:

One of the last preserved SCHEUNENGUTSHÄUSER in the region:

Estate manager’s house GODDIN with an additional 7,000 (or up to 45,000) square meters of natural land featuring a stand of trees, meadow/pasture/garden, and ponds

The Highlights:

Mecklenburg Lake District, near the Ivenack estate (= lake with an island, the oldest oaks in Central Europe, an extensive park with a treetop walk).

One of the last of its kind – a barn estate house, formerly also the estate manager’s residence of what was once the largest estate in the region in terms of area (7,902 hectares = the family Plessen’s domain, including the Ivenack estate, by the eponymous lake & park with Central Europe’s oldest oaks). Now, after several years of vacancy and awaiting a new use, it sits in a very charming, quiet edge-of-field location with 7,000 (+45,000?!) square meters of green surroundings including trees, a garden, fields/pasture/meadow, 2 or 3 ponds and the possibility to revive it within a three-part building complex (comprising a 1,550‑sqm residential house, stable section/grain store/garret and outbuilding) to once again bring new life in the form of private living, with studio/LOFT and/or freelance/self-employed work in the midst of beautiful “Mäkelbörger” countryside.

A truly attractive purchase price (project-typical with an option for lease purchase) rounds off the deal.

Unique in its architectural characteristics – especially its QUIET location at the edge of open fields with an unobstructed view. The property can be expanded by purchase or lease beyond what is shown in the aerial photograph (outlined in red) – and can potentially be extended with immediately adjacent natural plots (to the right, left, and toward the field): 3 with ponds (municipal property) and 1 with a stand of trees plus an “enclosed” garden area or orchard meadow (privately owned).

A two-story structure with a large Mansard roof; the attic (D.G. = formerly the granary, built in a continuous open style with a beam construction); ground floor (E.G.): formerly a living area behind a central risalit, with one former shop area (“Konsum”) + one stable section + one outbuilding on the ground floor with level access – totaling 1,550 sqm including the garret.

The property is ideally suited for group and communal living, assisted living/hospice, a preventive center, as a children’s and youth home, as an (ayurvedic) healing center, or as a meditation and cultural venue blending private living, studios, lofts, seminars, courses, and events (including “open-air” events)!

A kind of “agricultural school” with immediately adjacent model gardens (for permaculture, terra preta, etc., also with animal husbandry) – essentially an “academy in the fields” – is very feasible at this location…

In any case, the large, calm, and green property can be DIRECTLY integrated into the functions and uses described above…

Conclusion: This is a residential and commercial property for nature enthusiasts, connoisseurs, and lovers of distinctive historic buildings; it has been vacant for quite some time and is stripped out (exhibiting a “shell” character) with corresponding structural damages, yet retains acceptable building quality, rural charm, a good layout, and practicality.

Note: Possible expansion areas:

 1) To the left of the path = a smaller pond with a stand of trees

 2) To the right, slightly below the house = a larger pond with a meadow

 3) To the northeast (just above/right of the house): a stand of trees with an “enclosed” garden

 4) The section of the property above part 2 = area with trees and shrubs

Registry Entries: There are no restrictions noted in any of the three land register sections (such as easements, usufruct rights, or right-of-way, etc.). The property is being sold free of encumbrances.

A crossing at the very edge of the property by the line bus connecting NB & Stavenhagen (roadside, around the “hedge island” level with the bus stop) occurs 1–3 times daily on weekdays and is apparently based on an implicit agreement with the municipality. While this circumstance does not impose practical restrictions, it can still be revised – as the municipality has already offered to relocate the recycling containers opposite the bus stop…

The purchase or lease of up to 4 directly adjacent natural plots—with a total of 3 ponds, 1 small “forest section”, green areas, or a former orchard meadow—is possible depending on agreements with the current owners (private and municipality)!

A statement regarding a willingness to sell has been received from the private owner; concrete discussions have taken place with the mayor and active support has been pledged.

No previous building restrictions (or prohibitions, etc.) are known from either the owner or other interested parties.

Any concrete statements regarding the feasibility of individual design requests can only be made after discussions and obtaining approvals from the monument protection authorities and the building department.

Note that the property is under the custodianship of the “Deutscher Denkmalschutz” Foundation!

Important: When considering the financing of renovations, conversions, and other investments (such as technical equipment, infrastructure, heating, doors, windows, insulation, etc.), please note that banks virtually offer NO construction or renovation loans for historic properties – aside from the sheer SIZE of this object – especially for manor houses and similar properties!
