The project

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

In close consultation with the monument authority and the Rhineland Regional Council (LVR), historic listed farmsteads are being carefully restored to the latest standards and given a new lease of life after receiving planning permission.

Most of the apartments have a terrace on the inside of the square and their own garden on the outside. They also benefit from the large communal garden and most have additional balconies or loggias on the upper floor. Everything is designed to allow residents to enjoy the peace and quiet of the green surroundings away from the streets to the full.

A spacious and impressive gate leads to the protected and peaceful green and residential area of the estate.

Sheltered by a wooded area, the large property offers garages, parking spaces and covered bicycle parking areas.

The high quality of the project implementation, combined with unique architecture, ensures maximum security and high investment protection.

History

The square farmstead, also known as a Vierkanter (Austrian), is a type of farmstead found in Austria and Germany. It can be either a single building of uniform material and height, enclosing a rectangular courtyard, or four separate buildings, often of different heights and materials.

Fired bricks are usually used as building materials. Originally, these facades were not plastered – as a sign of wealth, being able to afford the expensive fired bricks.

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

The location

The quiet park location with no traffic owes its residential quality to its spacious lawns, surrounded by tall trees with sweeping views of the adjacent fields. Every resident can enjoy this peace and tranquillity from their own terrace, which is a special treat.

 

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-style beams and constructivist steel and glass elements – interspersed with accents of filigree, satin-finished stainless steel. Transparent walls and walk-in glass ceiling elements as well as atriums create an airy feeling of space, while wooden floors in warm natural tones provide a sense of grounding. Manor houses with attractive loft architecture and a symbiosis of listed structures and modern design elements are rare and equally attractive to buyers and tenants. This has been the case in the past and will remain so in the future.

Our architectural firms have long enjoyed an excellent reputation, particularly in the restoration of historic buildings. With the successful renovation of over 30 historic manor houses, our architectural firms have repeatedly demonstrated their expertise in the use-optimised renovation of historic buildings. When dealing with historic buildings, we always take great care to preserve their charisma, originality and identity and fill them with new, modern life.

We would be delighted to arrange an initial viewing appointment for you. Come and experience the exclusivity and uniqueness of this property for yourself in a relaxed atmosphere and take your time to soak up the impressions on site.

Listed building status

Enormous tax advantages through listed buildings. The courtyard complex is a listed building within the meaning of Section 2 (1) and (2) of the North Rhine-Westphalia Monument Protection Act. This can result in highly interesting tax advantages for owner-occupiers and, above all, for capital investors (rental) due to the increased monument depreciation allowance, whereby a large part of the purchase price is co-financed by the state over the years from the taxes they pay.

Please feel free to contact us for more information on this topic, in addition to consulting your tax advisor. We would be happy to send you further information or provide you with details in a personal consultation.

Listed buildings are a worthwhile investment!

Profitability

Listed buildings offer high returns thanks to high additional tax depreciation.

The state can only partially fulfil its task of preserving cultural assets and therefore offers owners of listed buildings correspondingly high tax advantages according to clear regulations. Expenses for the renovation of listed buildings can be written off and these offer the highest tax benefits.

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

In addition, there are significant tax benefits due to the increased special depreciation allowances for listed buildings. Experience shows that property ownership contributes significantly to wealth creation and the preservation of assets.

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

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

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

Enormous tax advantages through listed buildings. The courtyard complexes are listed buildings within the meaning of Section 2 (1) and (2) of the NRW Monument Protection Act.

This results in highly attractive tax advantages for owner-occupiers and investors (rental) due to the increased AFA (annual depreciation allowance) for listed buildings, which means that a large part of the purchase price is co-financed by the state over the years.

In addition to the tax advantages, you will receive low-interest loans from KFW and, in many cases, non-repayable financial support from KFW.

Please feel free to contact us for more information on this topic, in addition to consulting your tax advisor. We would be happy to send you further information or explain the advantages to you in a personal meeting.

Listed buildings are therefore “worthwhile” in several ways, because as an owner-occupier you receive high subsidies and, due to the low supply and high demand, 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 farmhouses with their own entrance, garden area and carport and range in size from 60 to 160 m2.

Most of these have an internal terrace area and a spacious external garden area.

In addition, the remaining communal areas often offer charming parkland or gardens.

Rents

Experience shows that rents for listed farmhouses are significantly above the average rents achieved in the surrounding area. This is based on the quality of the construction and the exceptional architecture of the loft apartments.

 

Quality

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

The 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.
