Historic building complex consisting of a watermill (built around 1800), riding stable with 10 stalls and registered riding arena, farm and residential buildings with restaurant, beer garden and campsite on 39,581 m² of land for sale! The "Forstmühle" complex was a popular destination for day trips and holidays for many years, offering apartments, a campground, horseback riding, a petting zoo, and a restaurant with a beer garden. The total living and usable area of all buildings is estimated at approximately 2,600 m². Around 670 m² has been developed to date. The aforementioned buildings can be purchased individually or as a complete package – please feel free to contact us. The seller is interested in retaining a right of residence in their own 80 m² apartment located in the commercial and residential building. The area usable as a campground is approximately 30,000 m². It is currently being determined whether the complex, or parts thereof, are listed as historical monuments. Interested parties should anticipate extensive renovation and repair work required for the campground, the mill building, the sanitary facilities, and the riding stable. The campsite's technical infrastructure (electricity, water, internet, and potentially sewage) does not meet current standards. Depending on the plot layout and development, approximately 120 to 150 pitches for motorhomes, caravans, and tents could be created on the site. The grounds are divided into several sections by the mill stream. Currently, only a portion of the campsite is in operation. The campsite—even in combination with other buildings—offers a unique opportunity to develop an authentic location for nature-based leisure activities, holidays, and group events. The property comprises the following buildings and areas: a commercial and residential building with a restaurant and beer garden, likely built around 1800, extensively renovated in 2018. Currently mostly vacant. The seller occupies an apartment on the upper floor. A historic watermill, likely built around 1800, contains a finished apartment and an office on the ground floor; the upper and attic floors are vacant. Significant renovation and repair work is required. In the long term, there is the possibility of reactivating the hydroelectric plant for on-site power generation (subject to approval). The horse stable with 10 stalls and tack room is of unknown construction year and requires extensive renovation. The sanitary building includes a dishwashing area and boiler room with separate shower and toilet facilities for men and women. Its construction year is unknown, and the fixtures and fittings are outdated. It has a low-temperature oil heating system from 1998. The campsite is designated as a special camping area in the land-use plan. No development plan exists. The infrastructure (electricity, water, sewage, internet) is outdated. It is partially leased to long-term users. After comprehensive modernization, it could easily be used for tourism again. The property is traversed by the mill stream and the Ems River and features a large pond. Overall, the property offers diverse development opportunities – from revitalization for tourism to sustainable use with on-site power generation. The energy performance certificate is available for viewing. This offer is subject to a buyer's commission of 3.57% of the notarized purchase price.
