Historic Lakeside Villa In A Secluded Location On The Zwischenahner Meer

Stately Villa from 1907 — Living with History and a Lake View

Rarely does a property combine historic character, architectural elegance, and an incomparable natural setting in this way. Built around 1907 in the Italian villa style, this lakeside villa on the Hohe Ufer is one of the most defining examples of the Gründerzeit era in northern Germany. As part of the famous twin villas—once built by distillery owner Hullmann for his two daughters directly on the shore of the Zwischenahner Meer—the property is a designated historic landmark and is today one of the few properties of its kind preserved in such excellent condition.

Spanning four floors with approximately 240 m² of living space, the villa offers a spatial experience that is second to none. On the mezzanine level, a spacious entry hall with the finest marble flooring welcomes guests; from here, the view extends directly across the grand living and dining area (approx. 53 m²) to the Zwischenahner Meer—a panorama so unobstructed that no architect could have conceived of a better view. On the ground floor, a retractable patio door opens onto two elegant outdoor terraces facing the garden and lake.

The upper floor houses the main residence, featuring a spacious bedroom (approx. 29 m²), a separate guest room, a walk-in closet, and an en suite bathroom. Two balconies facing south and north offer picturesque views of both the lake and the park-like garden. The crowning touch is the distinctive tower room, which offers a 360-degree panoramic view of Bad Zwischenahn, the sea, and the surrounding countryside—a tranquil retreat high above it all.

The basement features a self-contained apartment (approx. 65 m²) with its own entrance, kitchen, living/bedroom, and bathroom—ideal as a guest apartment or for other uses according to your own preferences. This level is flanked by an exceptional wellness area featuring a sauna, whirlpool, hydrotherapy pool, and walk-in shower, all with views of the garden and the water.

The property underwent extensive renovation in the 1980s. A gas-fired central heating system ensures efficient comfort; a decommissioned geothermal heat pump can be reactivated at any time. A double garage and double carport round out this rare collector’s item with exceptional character.
