Unique Country Estate With Horticulture, Modern Manor House, Wellness Facilities, And Absolute Priva

The Manor House

Surrounded by expansive fields and small bodies of water, the modern manor house forms the architectural centrepiece of this exceptional country estate. It combines clear architecture with generous proportions, high-quality materials and an atmosphere that unites prestigious living with complete privacy. The impressive entrance hall, with its imposing ceiling height, provides access to the light-filled living, dining and kitchen area. Floor-to-ceiling windows, fine oak floorboards, Jerusalem limestone and finely crafted walnut details lend the rooms timeless elegance. The open-plan kitchen with high-quality fittings and the fireplace in the living area create a stylish setting for convivial gatherings and relaxed moments. Private retreats, a separate staff apartment and additional guest areas provide space for individual lifestyles. A lift connects the floors and enhances the high level of living comfort. A particular highlight is the directly connected wellness area, where a heated pool, sauna and steam shower invite you to enjoy relaxing hours. The combination of historic vaulted ceilings with modern architecture gives this private spa an exceptional atmosphere. Geothermal energy, underfloor heating and ceiling cooling provide contemporary comfort. On the covered terrace, the high-quality design continues with natural stone, creating a sheltered place from which to enjoy the view across the landscape and the estate’s exceptional tranquillity.

The Country Estate

The historic ancillary buildings of the four-sided farm complex, dating from 1894, have been preserved and lovingly restored, giving the property its distinctive character. Together with the modern manor house, they form a harmonious ensemble where history, a rural atmosphere and individual usage options come together. The buildings include a former stable with a tack room, covered parking space and workshop, a carriage house with carport, and a former cowshed with two vacant residential rooms and a rustic event room. The caretaker’s building houses the heating system for the entire ensemble and has an attic area used as a recreation room. The barn is currently used to store hay and straw and, in winter, as a small indoor riding arena. The property is complemented by a riding arena measuring approximately 16 × 40 m. Beyond its existing use, the versatile building structure offers interesting development potential and scope for individual concepts. Whether additional private areas, prestigious events or the further development of the existing ancillary buildings, this country estate provides the spatial conditions for a variety of future prospects.
