Situated in the heart of one of Germany’s most renowned wine regions, this distinguished historical villa from the late 19th century is now available for sale. Originally constructed in 1895 as both a residence and working space for the esteemed vintner, Victor Wilhelm Labrosse, this villa has since become a defining architectural feature within the cityscape of Neustadt an der Weinstraße.
An Elegant Blend of Tradition and Functionality
The villa spans an impressive 1,735 m² plot and offers a substantial main residence alongside several auxiliary buildings. These include a workshop with potential for further development, a vehicle wash hall, and 14 garages. While the property is perfectly functional as it stands, it also offers considerable scope for modernisation and adaptation, whether for residential, commercial, or mixed-use purposes.
Architectural and Historical Significance
The villa’s façade, crafted from light brick and adorned with intricate sandstone detailing, is a prime example of Neo-Renaissance architecture. Characteristic of the period’s elegant villas, the building features flat risalits, sweeping gables, balustraded balconies, and beautifully framed round and arched windows. The steep mansard roof is topped with slate, adding a refined touch.
Inside, the villa retains many original features, including a magnificent arched skylight portal, a historic wooden staircase, hand-painted glass windows, and a balcony overlooking the garden – all elements that infuse the property with authentic charm and character.
The adjoining two-storey outbuilding, with its sandstone façade, complements the main residence and includes twin windows and a pilaster structure on the upper level.
Versatility and Future Potential
This exceptional property presents numerous possibilities for use:
- A private residence with the potential for combining residential and business spaces
- An elegant location for offices, law firms, or medical practices seeking a prestigious address
- A prime investment opportunity with the option to lease existing spaces
- Conversion of the workshop into a studio, additional living space, or commercial loft
The existing building structure offers ample flexibility to accommodate a wide variety of design concepts.
