The generous hayloft and numerous storage areas offer additional usage possibilities.

A special gem of the farm is the historic granary from 1563, which impressively reflects the long history of the property and, together with the other outbuildings, creates an authentic farm picture.

The generous plot of land offers a lot of free space and individual design possibilities. An own water source with reservoir, a water basin and the asphalted access with generous forecourt and turning space complement the versatile offer.

According to the previous clarifications with the district administration, there are fundamentally possibilities for expansion or extension of the existing living space, subject to the required approvals.

This exceptional farmhouse combines a quiet, natural location with the proximity to Wynigen and Burgdorf. Here, the rare opportunity arises to acquire a historic property with generous space, versatile potential and unmistakable character.

Sales procedure

The property is still subject to the Federal Law on Agricultural Land (Art. 2 BGBB) today. Since the agricultural business has not been viable for a long time and the size of an agricultural enterprise is no longer reached (Art. 5 and 7 BGBB), a solution was worked out with the district administration and the Office for Municipalities and Spatial Planning (AGR): The farmhouse will be separated from the agricultural land with around 4,000 m² of surrounding land. For this, the authority grants an exception to the fragmentation ban (Art. 58 and 60 BGBB) and states that the new parcel no longer falls under the agricultural land law (Art. 84 BGBB). Subsequently, the corresponding note in the land register will be deleted (Art. 86 BGBB).

What this means for you

As soon as the decision is legally binding, no acquisition permit is required for the purchase (Art. 61 BGBB). You do not have to cultivate the land yourself (Art. 63 BGBB) and there is no price limitation (Art. 66 BGBB). The property is thus also open to non-farmers. The parcel remains in the agricultural zone.

The remaining agricultural land will be taken over by the current tenant. For him, the rules of the BGBB (Art. 47 and 61 ff. BGBB) still apply. It is not possible to purchase additional agricultural land.

For whom is the property suitable?

For people who want to renovate a farmhouse, live in it themselves and enjoy the surrounding area. After consultation with the AGR, more living space is possible within the existing building, probably also several apartments (Art. 24c and 24d RPG, Art. 42 RPV). The identity of the building must be preserved. Only the subsequent building permit with the consent of the AGR (Art. 25 para. 2 RPG) is binding.
