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’ll 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 (approx. 233 m² 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 WC, a utility room, and a hallway. Upstairs, there are two further bedrooms and a 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 (approx. 698 m²) – 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 3,900 m² 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.
