The project

Green views close to the city – living in the heart of nature.

In close consultation with the heritage authorities and the Rhineland Regional Council (LVR), historic listed manor houses are carefully restored to the latest standards and given a new lease of life once planning permission has been granted.

The flats usually have a terrace on the inside of the square and their own garden on the outside, and also benefit from the large communal garden and usually have additional balconies or loggias on the upper floor. Everything is designed to enjoy the peace and quiet of the greenery away from the streets to the full.

A spacious and impressive gateway leads to the sheltered and quiet green and living area of the estate.

Screened off by a wooded area, the large plot has garages, car parking spaces and covered bicycle parking areas.

The high quality of the project realisation combined with unique architecture ensures maximum security and a high level of investment protection.

The history

The Vierkanthof, also known as Vierkanter (Austrian), is a type of farm and manor house in Austria and Germany. It can be a single building of uniform material and height that encloses a rectangular courtyard, or four separate buildings, often of different heights and materials.

The building materials used are usually burnt bricks. Originally, these façades were not plastered – as a sign of the wealth to afford the expensive fired bricks.

The particularly thick walls, often half a metre thick – but in exceptional cases up to one metre – offer the advantage of a high storage mass. On hot summer days they offer a pleasantly cool climate, in winter excellent thermal insulation.

The location

The quiet parkland location with no car traffic is enhanced by spacious garden meadows, surrounded by tall trees with sweeping views of the neighbouring fields. It is a special comfort for every resident to enjoy this peace and tranquillity from their own terrace.

The ambience

The perfect synergy of historical roots and modern design language makes successful architecture worth living in.

In our properties, the old building fabric is skilfully combined with industrial-looking beams and constructivist steel and glass elements – with accents of filigree, satin-finished stainless steel in between. Transparent walls and walk-on glass ceiling elements as well as atriums create an airy feeling of space, while wooden floors in warm natural tones provide a grounding effect.Manor houses with attractive loft architecture and a symbiosis of listed building substance and modern design elements are rare and attractive to buyers and tenants alike. This has been the case in the past and will remain so in the future.

Our architectural offices have made an excellent name for themselves over many years, particularly in the restoration of historical buildings. With the successful renovation of over 30 historic manor houses, our architectural offices have proven their efficiency in the use-optimised renovation of historic buildings on several occasions. When dealing with historic buildings, we always take great care to preserve their charisma, originality and identity and to fill them with new, modern life.

We would be happy to arrange an initial, impressive viewing appointment for you. Convince yourself of the exclusivity and uniqueness of this property in a relaxed atmosphere and let the impressions on site take effect in peace and quiet.

Monument protection

Enormous tax benefits from listed properties. The courtyard complex is a listed building within the meaning of Section 2 (1) and (2) of the NRW Monument Protection Act. This can result in extremely interesting tax advantages for owner-occupiers and, above all, for capital investors (letting) through the increased monument AFA, whereby a large part of the purchase price is co-financed by the state from the taxes you have paid over the years.

Please do not hesitate to contact us and let us – in addition to your tax advisor – inform you about this topic. We will be happy to provide you with further information material on this subject or inform you in a personal meeting.

Listed properties “pay off”!

Profitability

Listed properties, high profit through high additional tax depreciation.

The state can only partially fulfil its task of preserving cultural assets and therefore offers owners of listed properties correspondingly high tax benefits in accordance with clear regulations. Expenses for the refurbishment of listed buildings can be written off and these offer the highest tax benefits.

Buyers invest in an exclusive tangible asset with the security of a property securitised in the land register as well as comprehensive protection against inflation and potential for appreciation.

In addition, there are significant tax benefits due to the increased special depreciation allowances for listed buildings. Experience shows that property ownership makes a significant contribution to asset accumulation and security of tenure.

Both owner-occupiers and owners who rent out their property receive high tax savings through income tax depreciation on listed buildings in accordance with §40 DschG in conjunction with §7i and 10f EstG.

The construction costs invested in each property in question can be claimed as income-related expenses or special expenses in the income tax return over a period of 10 or 12 years, thus significantly reducing the overall costs.

The historically low level of interest rates, rising inflation and the current debate about the security of the euro and the security of financial investments in general are also leading to high demand for and stability in the value of tangible assets.

In addition to the tax benefits, you also receive low-interest loans from the KFW and often a non-repayable financial subsidy from the KFW.

Listed properties “pay off” in several ways, because as an owner-occupier you receive high subsidies and due to the low supply and high desirability, as an investor you usually have even higher rental income than in comparable properties!

The size of the flats

10-18 extremely attractive residential units are designed as separate manor houses with their own entrance, garden area and carport and are between 60 and 160 m2 in size.

They usually have an internal terrace area and a spacious external garden section.

In addition, the remaining communal grounds often offer enchanting parkland or gardens.

The rents

Experience has shown that rents for listed estates are significantly higher than the average rents achieved in the neighbourhood. This is due to the quality of the construction work and the unusual architecture of the loft flats.

The quality

The high quality of project realisation combined with unique architecture ensures maximum security and high investment protection thanks to the experience of a team of experts in heritage conservation.

Construction progress and quality are monitored by qualified specialists and engineering firms. All specialists have many years of experience in monitoring construction projects or listed buildings. Investors and owner-occupiers receive a turnkey property on the basis of a property development contract.

However, it should be noted that the final plans have not yet been agreed with the monument preservation authorities and the images shown are therefore not legally binding.
