About this house

A property with centuries of head start – Historic barn in Schönwölkau, gently brought into the present.

There are houses you buy. And there are houses you take over – because they have been here longer than any family that lives in them. This property belongs to the second category.

The former barn, whose origins according to tradition date back to the 16th century, was converted into a representative residence around 2011/2012 with evident ambition. What emerged is not compromise architecture, but a dialogue: substantial historic fabric meets an interior that need not hide from any new build. The entire house electrics, including the meter cabinet, were renewed in 2024 – to the standard expected of a house of this class.

Space for a life in stages
Approximately 260 m² of living space are divided into six generously sized rooms, including five bedrooms and two high-quality bathrooms. The choice of materials speaks for itself: granite, parquet, tiles and carpet, each where it belongs. A high-quality fitted kitchen with a large kitchen island is included in the offer. Provision for a fireplace in the living room is also already in place.

And then there is the reserve. An already prepared, largely self-contained residential unit allows expansion to a total of approx. 360 m². The power supply is in place, the electrical installation is prepared – the design is up to you. Whether an apartment for the next generation, studio, practice or guest wing: this house has room for plans you have not yet made today.

Technology you do not see – and costs you do not feel
Heating is provided by a ground-source heat pump with an additional water storage tank. A photovoltaic system with 24 kWp and a 10kWh storage unit make the property largely independent of energy prices that still concern others; the 300Liter water storage tank is also sufficient for many residents. Historic exterior, contemporary balance sheet.

The garden as a second living space
On the 828 m² plot, an outdoor area unfolds that has been designed with the same care as the house itself since the renovation: a natural stone staircase, paved paths and seating areas. At the center is the pool – with its own heat pump for a long season and a counter-current system for those who would rather swim laps in the morning than drink coffee. The garden house and tool shed accommodate what does not belong in the house.

Arrive without having to think
Two garages – one immediate to the house, one around the corner with an adjoining parking area – as well as another covered parking space offer room for a motorhome, vehicles, bicycles and/or guests.

The Location
Schönwölkau is situated in the tranquil countryside of northern Saxony, while also within easy reach of Leipzig – for everyone who arrives in the evening and does not want to drive for long in the morning.
