About this dream house
Property Description
This beautiful former barn is a collector's item! It can be used in a variety of ways: as a multi-generational home, practice, office, ...
There is an option to lease a 1000 m2 garden.
The vaulted cellar is 300 years old, the east side of the house 200, and the west side 120 years old. It has been continuously renovated until 2023. There are 4 separate apartments (separate meters for electricity/water/heating). For fire safety reasons, 3 apartments are connected by additional internal stairs. As a result, the house is officially considered a 2-family house.
Apart from individual wishes such as painting the walls, the house is ready to move into and requires no renovation.
The house is free of electrosmog due to the great distance to external radiation sources.
The pellet central heating system supplies all apartments (all rooms have radiators) and both attics with heating and hot water, maintained according to regulations, built in 2003.
- Roof and insulation new in 2022, 4 dormers
- 4 fireplaces: 1 fireplace for pellet heating, 3 fireplaces with new stainless steel pipes or fireclay. There are several connections to each fireplace, so each apartment can also be heated exclusively with wood.
- The house has very thick walls. This prevents it from cooling down in winter and keeps it pleasantly cool in summer. This has a very positive effect on the consumption of pellets and wood. Our consumption has always been low in relation to the total heated area.
- Insulating glass windows, plastic or wood
- The house is a listed building, which means that changes to the exterior façade must be approved by the heritage office; the interior can be freely designed

Other
Franconian Switzerland is an attractive tourist destination and accordingly there are many vacation apartments in this region. The property on offer here is also suitable for partial use of this kind. The wooden beams and natural materials such as wood and cork for floors, walls and doors create a homely, cozy atmosphere. The possibility of heating each apartment with wood and cooking on a wood stove in the kitchens are equally special. 3 kitchens are already equipped with a gas line so that you can cook with a gas stove (with propane gas).
