Due to private health reasons, we are offering our exceptional château to a suitable successor. Château Thor is located in the German-speaking region of Belgium, just minutes from the city of Aachen. It combines architectural heritage with remarkable economic potential. Two key advantages make this offering particularly attractive: 

  1. Tax-Optimised Acquisition Structure 
    The sale concerns not the property itself but the associated joint-stock company (AG). This structure eliminates land transfer tax and other typically high acquisition costs.
    In the event of a future resale, only a capital gains tax of up to 25% applies for residents of Germany – and 0% for owners residing in Belgium. 
     
  2. Proven Income – Without Marketing Investment
    The château is already operating successfully and generates an annual turnover of €150,000 to €200,000 with an average occupancy rate of under 30%.
    We have deliberately refrained from pursuing an aggressive occupancy strategy due to personal circumstances.
    With minimal effort and some dedication, occupancy can easily exceed 60% – offering experienced hosts considerable room for growth.

Location
Château Thor lies in the German-speaking part of Belgium, just 4 minutes from the German border near Aachen and only 5 minutes from the nearest motorway access – ideal for both private and commercial use.
