In the heart of the grown village center of Nusshof is this impressive, historically significant residential and economic building from the late 18th century (1799/1802). A rare testimony to traditional building culture with high substance and history.

The building convinces with its exceptional presence, its generous volume of around 3,408 m³, and its remarkable development potential. The existing structure offers a variety of possibilities - up to a future use as a multi-family house (MFH) or a combined living and working concept.

Inside, original and historical elements shape the ambiance. Particularly noteworthy is the traditional tile stove, which gives the living area a warm and authentic atmosphere. The building is complemented by a characteristic vaulted cellar, which further underlines the historic character.

The property has an integrated stable and a workshop, which still make the original agricultural use of the house readable today and at the same time offer versatile usage possibilities.

The property has been specifically renewed and maintained over the years. Important investments include, among other things, the conversion and expansion of rooms and bathrooms on the ground floor in 2012, where the facade and electrical systems were also renovated (conversion costs around CHF 330,000), the expansion of the stable and water pipes (1990), the installation of an electric gate (1990), and the replacement of windows in the living and sleeping areas (1990). This has continuously modernized the functionality without losing the historic character.

The property also includes several outdoor parking spaces and at least two indoor parking spaces, with space for a motorhome or similar, which ensures comfortable use.

The plot covers 1,056 m² and is characterized by a special environment: a protected lime tree as a striking village tree and the location in the center of the historic settlement core give the property an exceptional identity and embedding in the village history.

The building is heated by a piecewood heating system, which further supports the original, self-sufficient character of the house.

This farmhouse combines history, substance, and exceptional development potential in one of the central locations of Nusshof - a rare opportunity for lovers of historic building substance with vision.

 

 

History of the property - Im Dörfli 6, Nusshof

The history of Nusshof dates back to the Middle Ages. As early as 1372, the area belonged to the Cistercian nunnery of Olsberg, which played a shaping role in the agricultural and settlement development of the region over the centuries.

In the late Middle Ages, a small hamlet developed in this area, which fell under the rule of the city of Basel in 1461. This changed the political and administrative structures, while the rural and agricultural character of the area continued to exist.

The first documented mention of the name dates back to 1504 as "hof by dem Nussbom". It is assumed that a striking tree - probably a nut tree - served as a notable reference point in the landscape and gave the settlement its name.

After the Reformation, Nusshof was assigned to the parish of Wintersingen, which also changed the ecclesiastical affiliation. The rights of the Olsberg monastery were finally settled in 1505 and 1664, thereby gradually ending the monastic lordship.

The current property, Im Dörfli 6, stands in this historically grown cultural landscape. It is part of the continuous development of the former farm and settlement area and bears the traces of this long history in its surroundings and building structure.

In older representations of the literature, the area was sometimes incorrectly referred to as "Gut Nussbaum". However, historical image sources (including Georg Friedrich Meyer, 1680) show that the former settlement structure did not yet correspond to the current building. The actual historical "Nusshof" was located on the parcel Im Dörfli 2, while the later building development shifted towards the current village center.

The building itself is described as a late baroque farmhouse with the year 1799 and belongs to the characteristic historical buildings of the village center. It is an expression of the peasant building culture of the late 18th century and fits into the settlement structure that has grown over the centuries.

Today, the property connects this deeply rooted history with a quiet, natural living location in a historically significant village center.
