The estate comprises a historic ensemble situated adjacent to Hugstetten’s parkland, set within approximately 4,000 $m^2$ of grounds (final boundary survey pending). At its heart lies the "Old Manor" (Altes Schloss), a former estate manager’s residence dating to circa 1670.
The property is a Grade-listed cultural monument, representing the early modern architectural history of the region. It is defined by a clear cubature, balanced proportions, and a preserved internal layout that offers a quiet, established presence.
Accommodation and Potential
- The Main House: Provides approximately 220 $m^2$ of living space across two full storeys. The original room divisions and central circulation areas remain largely intact, providing a sound basis for sensitive restoration or further internal development.
- Secondary Residence: A detached historic cottage offers a further 113 $m^2$ of accommodation. This is well-suited for use as a guest house, multi-generational living, or a self-contained home office.
- Outbuildings: The sale includes a former tithe barn with significant conversion potential and an orangery, currently utilised as a studio. Both buildings reinforce the original courtyard character of the estate.
The heritage status ensures the architectural integrity of the site. Any future development or modernisation would require coordination with the relevant conservation authorities to ensure the fabric of the buildings is maintained.
