Are you looking for a home where you can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life or find inspiration for your creative work? Do you want a prestigious property on castle grounds that made history and can tell stories? Do you love living in nature and enjoy the constantly changing light and the impressions it creates? And although you desire an exceptional, quiet, and scenically attractive location, do you still want to have convenient access to everything you need in life? Then you should be interested in the property we are offering! A charming residential house in the "Schloss Lindich" estate in Hechingen is waiting for you.

Schloss Lindich, as a hunting and pleasure castle, is one of the most outstanding ensembles of southern Germany from an architectural standpoint. At the time of construction in the 18th century, there were only a few examples similar to the design of the square central building positioned in the center of a radially octagonal overall ensemble with radiating avenues. The estate was built in 1743 and is located two kilometers from Hechingen, right in the middle of a nature reserve. The property borders a forest to the north and an open landscape area with views of Hohenzollern Castle and the golf course to the southeast.

Despite its quiet location, transportation connections are excellent: you can reach the train station in 10 minutes, the B 27 in 5 minutes, the A 81 in 20 minutes, Stuttgart Airport in 45 minutes, the Schwäbische Alb escarpments in 20 minutes, and the western Lake Constance in 60 minutes. The offered property provides an excellent opportunity to combine living and working, particularly creative work.

The monument-protected castle ensemble consists, in addition to the centrally located main building, of seven so-called cavalier houses arranged in a semicircle around it. A spacious, park-like green area connects all the buildings. A charming little garden in front of the house also invites you to enjoy the outdoors.

The castle ensemble is nestled in a magnificent natural landscape with panoramic views of Hohenzollern Castle and the Swabian Alb. Only two kilometers away is Hechingen, which, as a regional center of the Neckar-Alb, offers all daily necessities, all types of schools, kindergartens (including a nearby forest kindergarten and three different grammar schools), healthcare facilities (doctors, pharmacies, physiotherapy, etc.), and other infrastructure (supermarkets, bakeries, cinemas, restaurants). In the immediate neighborhood of Schloss Lindich there are countless leisure opportunities (hiking, jogging, and cycling paths, an 18-hole golf course, equestrian centers, and fairy tale, play, and forest educational trails). A tennis court, an outdoor and indoor swimming pool, and a mini-golf course are easily reachable on foot.

The listed historic property Schloss Lindich can tell many stories: it was the first residence of Napoleon’s step-granddaughter and the last Hechingen Princess Eugenie. Visits by General “von Steuben”, piano virtuoso Franz Liszt, composer Hector Berlioz, as well as the King of Prussia have been documented; even the stay of the later Emperor Napoleon III of France in his youth—when he still lived at Schloss Arenenberg in Switzerland—is on record.

The offered cavalier house was converted from a stable into a modern, comfortable residence in 1991/92 and was modernized in 2003. In 2024, a state-of-the-art gas condensing central heating system was installed, which includes its own 6,400-liter liquid gas tank. An additional modern, electronically controlled warm-air stove with a visible flame provides an alternative energy source and creates a cozy atmosphere.

The residential house is in a renovated and well-maintained condition. High ceilings and a thoughtful layout give you a sense of spaciousness.

Ground Floor: Upon entering the main entrance (two additional entrances are also available), you are greeted by a warm, inviting atmosphere after passing through a small vestibule with a cloakroom. The spacious fireplace room with its electronically controlled warm-air stove (with visible flame) creates coziness during the colder season and is ideal for enjoying pleasant hours with guests. Of course, it could also be used or divided for another purpose. In the warmer season, it is the perfect room for indoor-outdoor living, as right outside the front door, next to a generous seating area, is a beautifully designed garden where you can relax.

In addition to the fireplace room, the ground floor features another room of approximately the same size, which currently houses a tea kitchen and storage space. The generous proportions here also allow for alternative uses or subdivisions. A technical and laundry room, a guest WC, and a hallway with a staircase complete the ground floor.

A comfortable staircase leads you to the upper floor, which welcomes you with an open gallery, a library, a window looking out over the castle park, and a glazed double sliding door. From a small hallway—adjoining a guest WC, a practical storage room, and a kitchen (with fitted kitchen and two windows)—you enter the bright and sunlit living and dining room, which offers views of Hohenzollern Castle, the castle building, and the front garden through four windows and the glass door. Furthermore, on the upper floor there is an exceptionally spacious bedroom, a somewhat smaller additional room, as well as a bathroom with a shower, bathtub, WC, and window. An undeveloped attic provides ample storage space.

Floor coverings: Parquet, tiles, natural fiber.

Energy sources: Wood (for the warm-air stove with visible flame, with an additional option of a fireplace) as well as a new liquid gas condensing central heating system (installed February 2024) with its own 6,400-liter gas tank.

Energy certificate: Not required due to the monument status.

Living area: approximately 185 m².

Total property area: approximately 3.23 hectares, of which 13,333 m² is built-up, 8,632 m² is forest, and 10,356 m² is agricultural land according to the tax office valuation.

Please note that the property area is not owned outright by you. Schloss Lindich is an entire ensemble that is to be preserved. Therefore, the property is not divided into individual parcels, but is legally considered a condominium community with the castle building divided among several separate owners, as well as seven cavalier houses arranged around the castle that are all separately owned and occupied by their respective owners. Each of the eight houses is responsible for its own administration, maintenance, and repairs. Only the costs for managing, maintaining, and repairing the grounds (excluding the buildings) are shared among the co-owners in proportion to their ownership shares. The house for sale holds a co-ownership share of 87/1000 of the overall property, along with separate ownership of all the rooms in House No. 6.

Purchase price: Negotiable, starting at €649,000. No broker’s commission, as this is a private sale.
