The project

Green views with city proximity – living in the heart of nature.

In close coordination with the monument protection authority and the Rhineland Regional Council (LVR), historical listed manors are being carefully restored in accordance with the latest standards and given a new lease of life after the building permit has been obtained.

The apartments mostly have a terrace on the inside of the square and a private garden on the outside, and also benefit from the large communal garden. Everything is designed to enjoy the tranquillity of the countryside to the full, away from the hustle and bustle of the big city.

A large and impressive gate leads to the protected and quiet green and residential area of the estate. Shielded by trees, garages, parking spaces and covered bicycle storage are available on the large property. The high quality of the project implementation, combined with unique architecture, ensures maximum security and a high level of investment protection.

The history

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

The most common building material used is burnt brick. Originally, these façades were not plastered – as a sign of wealth to afford the expensive burnt bricks.

The particularly thick walls offer the advantage of high storage mass. On hot summer days, they provide a pleasantly cool climate, and in winter, excellent thermal insulation.

The situation

The quiet park-like location is characterised by spacious garden meadows, surrounded by tall trees with a wide view of the adjacent fields. A special comfort for every resident to enjoy this peace and tranquility from their own terrace.

The ambience

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

The old structure of our properties is skilfully combined with industrial-looking beams and constructivist steel and glass elements – interspersed with accents of filigree, satin-finished stainless steel. Manor houses with attractive loft architecture and a symbiosis of listed substance and modern design elements are rare and equally attractive for buyers and tenants. This was the case in the past and will remain so in the future.

The architectural firms working on our properties have built up an excellent reputation over many years, particularly in the restoration of listed buildings. With the successful renovation of over 50 historic manor houses, the architectural firms have repeatedly demonstrated their expertise in the user-optimised renovation of historic buildings. When dealing with listed buildings, great care is always taken to preserve the character, originality and identity of the properties and to fill them with new, modern life.

We would be happy to arrange an impressive first viewing for you. See for yourself the exclusivity and uniqueness of this property in a relaxed atmosphere and let the impressions take effect on the spot in peace and quiet.

The protection of historical monuments

Significant tax advantages through listed properties. The farmstead is a listed building in the sense of § 2 para. 1 and 2 of the Monument Protection Act NRW. This can result in highly interesting tax advantages for owner-occupiers and, above all, for investors (rental) due to the increased monument depreciation, whereby a large part of the purchase price is co-financed by the state over the years from the taxes you have paid.

Please do not hesitate to contact us about this and – in addition to your tax advisor – find out more about this topic. We would be happy to send you further information material or to provide you with information in a personal meeting.

Listed buildings ‘pay off’!

Profitability

listed properties: high profit due to 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 advantages according to clear provisions. Expenses for the renovation of listed buildings can be written off and these offer the highest tax benefits.

In doing so, buyers are investing in an exclusive tangible asset, with the security of a property securitised in the land registry, as well as comprehensive protection against inflation and potential for capital appreciation.

Added to this are significant tax breaks through the increased special depreciation for listed buildings. Experience shows that real estate ownership contributes significantly to asset formation and the protection of vested rights.

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

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

The historically low interest rates, a rising inflation rate and the current discussion about the security of the euro and the security of financial investments in general are also leading to high demand and stable values for tangible assets.

Significant tax advantages through listed properties. The farmsteads are listed buildings in the sense of § 2, sections 1 and 2 of the NRW Monument Protection Act.

This results in highly interesting tax advantages for owner-occupiers and investors (rental) due to the increased monument protection depreciation, whereby a large part of the purchase price is co-financed by the state over the years.

In addition to the tax advantages, you can obtain low-interest loans from the KFW and often also a non-repayable financial grant from the KFW.

Please feel free to contact us about this and – in addition to your tax advisor – get more information on this topic. We will be happy to send you further material on this or explain the advantages to you in a personal meeting.

Listed buildings ‘pay off’ in a number of ways, because as a self-user you receive high subsidies and, as a capital investor, you generally have even higher rental income than in comparable properties due to the low supply and high demand!

The rents

Experience shows that rents for listed manor houses are well above the average of surrounding rents. This is based on the quality of the construction and the extraordinary architecture of the loft apartments.

The quality

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

Construction progress and quality are monitored by qualified specialists and engineering firms. All specialists have many years of experience in supervising 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 planning has not yet been coordinated with the preservation order and that the images shown are therefore not legally binding.
