Timeless Gulf Farmhouse Blending History With Modern Luxury

Historic Gulf farmhouse for living and realization

Welcome to Manslagt, one of East Frisia’s most traditional terp villages, just minutes from the North Sea coast. Here you will find a property that invites you not just to live, but to arrive. A listed Gulf farmhouse dating back to 1795, carefully renovated and lovingly furnished with modern amenities, preserving its historical character.

The front house (approximately two hundred thirty-three square meters living space) combines East Frisian building traditions with modern living comfort. The original exposed beams, two fireplaces, and the impressively preserved parlor room with its unique paintings speak to the cultural value of this house. The renovation from 2022 to 2024 – including a new roof, pellet heating system, photovoltaics, and solar thermal panels – ensures efficiency, comfort, and independence from gas.

The ground floor comprises two bedrooms, a living room with a fireplace, a large eat-in kitchen with fitted units and a pantry, a guest water closet, a utility room, and a hallway. Upstairs there are two further bedrooms and one bathroom with a bathtub and shower. The attic features a spacious studio – ideal as an artist’s workshop or retreat. A self-contained apartment on the upper floor (with existing plumbing and electrical wiring) further expands the property’s potential uses.

The centerpiece of the property is the imposing Gulf barn (approximately six hundred ninety-eight square meters) – with its historic timber frame and cathedral-like height. It offers versatile uses as a studio, workshops, cultural venue or even as an investment property with the potential to be converted into holiday apartments or residences.

The approximately three thousand nine hundred square meters property, with its mature linden trees orchard and numerous perennials offers a tranquil retreat – right in the heart of the village yet with maximum privacy. Parking spaces for cars campervans or boats are available.

This property is an architectural gem – for discerning people with a sense of history and a desire for a place that lasts.
