House for sale • 185 m² without real estate, Bavaria

May we introduce you to your new home in a peaceful location with a breathtaking view and plenty of development potential!

This detached family house, built in 1967 using solid construction methods, is situated in a unique, exceptionally quiet cul-de-sac location with a dreamlike view over the roofs of the wine village Retzstadt and its numerous vineyards.

The residential building comprises two full floors as well as a developed room in the attic. The property is complemented by a conservatory, added in the 1980s and running along the full width of the house. The conservatory is heated and offers direct access to the hillside garden. The house offers generous living space with eight rooms for living, sleeping, and working across approximately 185 m², making it particularly suitable for families or owner-occupiers with high space requirements.

On the ground floor, a central hallway opens to the dining room with an adjacent kitchen, a study, a bathroom with a separate WC, several basement and utility rooms, as well as access to the inner courtyard. The upper floor features the spacious and bright living room as well as the master bedroom, both with a magnificent view over Retzstadt and its vineyards, along with three additional living/sleeping rooms, a separate WC, and access to the conservatory. The attic has been developed into an additional living area, with further space available for storage.

On the upper floor, the existing layout offers excellent possibilities to create spacious, open living concepts with a combined kitchen, living, and dining area by merging individual rooms, or to more fully integrate the conservatory into the living concept. On the ground floor, the layout offers potential for a comfortable wellness area, for example with a spacious bathroom with a sauna.

The property also includes, on a plot of approximately 751 m², a large garage with a workshop pit, a sheltered inner courtyard with an adjacent workshop, and a large rainwater cistern. The garage roof has been designed as a roof terrace and could be developed accordingly. About 30 meters from the house, on a slope, there is another solid ancillary building (approximately 36 m²) from the 1970s, formerly used as a beekeeping house, offering ideal space for hobbies, storage, or craft use.

The buildings are largely in their original condition. The property has always been well maintained, and the building fabric is considered solid. However, extensive renovation and modernization measures are necessary—particularly in the areas of building services, windows, and interior finishing. These necessary modernizations allow for the implementation of a comprehensive, contemporary, and future-oriented energy concept.

The property was owner-occupied until August 2024, is currently completely empty (although it is heated in the meantime), and can be handed over clean and swept in a short time. The sale is conducted privately by the owner and is commission-free!

Overall, this is a property with strong structure, plenty of space, a quiet location, and significant development potential for buyers who wish to modernize a house to their own specifications—possibly even with their own work.

Retzstadt is located in an idyllic, vineyard-dominated landscape in the Bavarian district of Main-Spessart. The gentle hills and extensive vineyard areas shape the character of the region and provide a picturesque backdrop for the community of approximately 1,650 inhabitants. Retzstadt, first mentioned in documents as “Reccisstadt” in the mid-8th century, lies about 5 km from the Main River on its right bank in the Main Triangle in a charming side valley. Particularly striking are the numerous hiking and cycling trails that wind through the vineyards and forests around the village. For this reason, Retzstadt is also known as the “village of trails,” reflecting the myriad opportunities to explore nature and the surroundings. The active club life and regular village festivals facilitate quick and easy integration into the community life.

Retzstadt features a modern, award-winning village store with a bakery and butcher counter for local supply, a beverage market, a restaurant and a farm shop, numerous family-run service and craft businesses (e.g., hairdressers, physiotherapy and occupational therapy, stationery, gardening, auto repair, electrical, heating and sanitary services, tiling, painting, carpentry) and a general practitioner. Retzstadt has its own kindergarten and primary school. In the neighboring village of Retzbach, about 5 km away, and the market town of Zellingen (approximately 6,500 inhabitants) on the opposite side of the Main, all essential needs for basic services (healthcare with several GPs and dentists, education with a secondary school, shopping with various discount stores and supermarkets, gastronomy, leisure, etc.) can be met locally.

Retzstadt is well connected in terms of transport. The community lies between the university city of Würzburg (approximately 128,000 inhabitants, about 22 km = 20 minutes away) and the significant industrial city of Schweinfurt (approximately 55,000 inhabitants, about 38 km = 30 minutes away), which together form the Mainfranken economic region. The nearest small town is Karlstadt (approximately 15,000 inhabitants, about 13 km = 12 minutes away). The neighboring village of Retzbach is located on the important Main-Spessart railway from Würzburg to Aschaffenburg (and onward to Frankfurt am Main) and has a large park-and-ride parking lot. Retzbach is reachable by bus within about 10 minutes (approximately hourly), and Würzburg can be reached from Retzbach in about 10 minutes by regional trains running every half hour. Würzburg is an ICE hub on the high-speed line between Würzburg and Hannover (towards Nuremberg/Munich, Cologne/Bonn/Düsseldorf, Hamburg). Retzstadt is located approximately 13 km from the north-south motorway A7.
