Lebensquell Hubenmühle – Living & Working In A Nature Retreat

There are places you own. And there are places that transform you. The Hubenmühle belongs to the latter category. In a world that is becoming ever noisier and more fleeting, this estate stands as an exception—a “place of power” in the truest sense of the word. Here, in the gentle hinterland of Lake Constance, a refuge has been created that combines the archaic energy of nature with the demands of modern self-sufficiency and professional fulfillment. Over 11,200 m² of private territory redefine freedom.

While luxury is often defined by materiality, here it finds its expression in the elemental. The heart of the property is the stream with its own waterfall. It is an acoustic and visual choreography of tranquility that enriches every moment spent here.
This water is more than a backdrop; it is a pacemaker. It clears the mind before one ventures inside the seminar house, and it forms the meditative center for evenings at the high-quality outdoor kitchen, where the fire of the stove meets the rustling of the trees.
This also signifies duality—a retreat and a workplace in equal measure.

The main house (approx. 270 m²) is a tribute to the joy of coming home. Generous sightlines, enhanced by marble tiles and fine hardwood floors, create an atmosphere of timelessness. The fireplace in the living area is not merely an accessory, but the emotional center on cold days. Here, life is conceived on a grand scale: seven rooms provide space for family, retreat,
and hospitality, while the surrounding terraces create a seamless transition into the expanse of the property.

A Space for Visions
Discreetly separated from the main house, the approximately 75-square-meter seminar and studio house provides a stage
for professional growth. Whether as an excellent law office, a creative studio, or an energetic space for coaching and healing—this place is designed to view work not as a burden, but as a calling. With its own infrastructure (kitchenette, shower room) and air conditioning, it allows for a complete separation between private life and public work.

Self-sufficiency as a modern form of sovereignty
At Hubenmühle, progress is not at odds with nature, but rather its ally. The estate is a pioneer of energy independence.

With a modern heat pump and the photovoltaic system
installed in 2022, including a massive
battery storage unit, you can operate here largely independent of external structures.

A final energy consumption of just 35.9 kWh/(m²a)
(Class A) is a testament
to technological foresight and environmental responsibility in this size category.

In the future, the manufacturer of the E3DC home power plant may also offer emergency power solutions and e-mobility options, in addition to self-sufficiency and sustainability.

The estate of the future: freedom on 11,211 m²
The property is not a garden; it is a world unto itself. A private forest area, expansive green spaces—which, upon review, even allow for horsekeeping—and a greenhouse for growing your own produce form a lifestyle model of self-determination. Two separate access roads ensure the logistical discretion
that such an estate requires—visitors to the studio reach their destination without disturbing the tranquility of the private garden.

Herdwangen-Schönach is located where Lake Constance feels close at hand, yet the hustle and bustle of daily life begins to fade: on the ridgeline of the Upper Linzgau, about 600 to 700 meters above sea level and only about 12 km from the lake. It is precisely this location that is the Hubenmühle’s privilege: not “right in the middle” of the tourist hustle and bustle of the lakeshore areas, but deliberately secluded—with nature as a true neighbor, not just a weekend activity.

An environment that offers stability
The surroundings thrive on their vastness and a mature landscape: rolling hills, forests, meadows, and small paths shape a landscape that is traditionally deeply rooted in fruit and wine cultivation in the Linzgau. Those who live here aren’t looking for the spotlight, but for stability. They enjoy distinct seasons, true privacy, and the luxury of not having to “switch off” after a day’s work, because the place does it for them simply by being there.

The Balance Between Seclusion and Accessibility
Despite this pleasant seclusion, the region remains functional and well-connected. Lake Überlingen and the lakeside towns are within easy reach; the lively town of Überlingen is only about 14 km away. For everyday life, the location offers reliable connections to Pfullendorf and Sigmaringen, including via the Regiobus line, which efficiently links these regional centers.

A strategic location for new endeavors
For people who want to combine living and working in one place—whether in a studio, for consulting, retreats, or creative and therapeutic programs—this location offers a decisive advantage: You gain the peace of the countryside while remaining close enough to the infrastructure and visitor potential of the Lake Constance region. And for those thinking ahead, Lake Constance Airport Friedrichshafen is just 40 km away, ensuring realistic connectivity to national and international destinations.

The bottom line: A conscious life choice
Ultimately, this location is not an “accidental compromise,” but a conscious decision in favor of a life of lasting value. An environment for people who prioritize substance over show and want to settle in a place that not only promises tranquility but delivers it.
