Castle for sale – Historic moated castle with private equestrian facility, guest house and unique charm!
Property description:
There are properties that are far more than just a home – they are a piece of history. This extraordinary moated castle in Nieder-Wiesen combines historic architecture, modern living comfort and diverse usage options. Whether as a representative family seat, exclusive equestrian facility or stylish venue for private and social events – this estate offers exceptional opportunities.
Around 1724, Baron von Hunolstein had the impressive castle built. The property, originally surrounded by a moat, is now a listed building together with the castle, inner courtyard, outbuildings and park. Over generations, the ensemble has been carefully preserved and continuously developed.
The castle was extensively renovated in 2001 and has been continuously modernized since then. On around 560 m² of living space, it combines historic charm with high-quality fittings. Original stucco ceilings, terrazzo mosaic in the entrance, real wood parquet and granite surfaces characterize the elegant ambiance. A custom-made Poggenpohl kitchen with Gaggenau appliances, an exclusive master bathroom by Philippe Starck, fireplace, modern building technology and comprehensive security equipment underline the special standard.
The romantic castle park with old trees and well-kept lawns offers peace, privacy and wonderful views of the equestrian facility and the surrounding countryside.
A special highlight is the historic inner courtyard with the approximately 115 m² "Chapel Stable". The high-quality hall with underfloor heating, kitchen, sanitary facilities and staff area is ideal for family celebrations, receptions and exclusive events.
The estate also includes a guest house, extensively renovated in 2012, with around 200 m² of living space. Six apartments, each with its own kitchen and bathroom, offer comfortable accommodation for guests, family members or staff. Two apartments also have terraces overlooking the castle garden.
Horse lovers will also get their money's worth: The equestrian facility includes a 20 x 40 m riding hall with sprinkler system, mirrors and high-quality sand-fiber footing, as well as a 20 x 60 m dressage arena. The roof of the riding hall needs to be replaced due to its age. The facility is complemented by paddock boxes from Röwer & Rüb, additional indoor boxes, tack rooms, rider's lounge, winter paddocks and extensive storage and utility areas.
Particularly impressive is the listed, free-span barn with around 720 m² of floor space, which was last used for hay storage and guest boxes. In addition, there are two staff apartments, further stable and storage areas, a former cattle shed, a former tennis court with tennis house and a photovoltaic system with 24.80 kWp.
The total 18,711 m² plot offers, in addition to around 760 m² of living space, a further approx. 2,600 m² of usable space.
The combination of historic moated castle, high-quality living comfort, spacious park, guest house and professional equestrian facility makes this property an exceptional rarity on the real estate market – a place for sophisticated living, equestrian sports and special moments in a unique historic setting.
