Country villa with apartment in the Rhön biosphere reserve

The spacious country villa is located in the heart of the Rhön on an exceptional plot with a large garden and wonderful views of the natural surroundings. The architecture, designed by a renowned architect from the region, impresses with its attention to detail, exclusive furnishings and successful open-plan concept with plenty of natural light and covered open spaces.

The house with separate granny apartment already offers plenty of space for a large family with rooms for an office, studio and wellness area. The conversion and expansion potential for further possible uses is laid out in the floor plan. The separately accessible indoor swimming pool, for example, could also be used as an office or studio with just a few conversion measures. The attic, which has been prepared for conversion, offers additional living space potential with its own entrance and allocated open space - e.g. for vacation guests.

The attached floor plans show the layout of the approx. 475 m2 of living and usable space (jpg), as well as the expansion potential for a total of 4 separately developed units in different variants (pdf).

The building fabric is of very high quality and durable construction. The exterior walls, for example, are made of 36.5 thick Poroton vertically perforated bricks, and the generous roof overhangs protect the facades. The interior fittings (doors/railings/panel cladding) are made of solid oak. Most of the windows and glazing in the main apartment have already been replaced.

The factory planning of the existing building (supplemented by data on the current energy values of the windows) can be made available on request.

The house offers the perfect place to live and work for creative people who want to enjoy nature and spend time together in peaceful surroundings.

The climatic health resort of Poppenhausen/Rhön lies at the western foot of the Wasserkuppe, Hesse's highest mountain at 950 m above sea level, in the middle of the UNESCO biosphere reserve. This means that there are no limits to sporting activities such as paragliding, gliding and mountain biking, mountaineering and, in winter, all types of skiing including snowkiting. Poppenhausen is ideally located for exploring the land of open spaces on foot, with its varied landscapes and impressive panoramas. Hardly any other place in the Rhön offers you so many sights Wasserkuppe, Pferdskopf, Wachtküppel, Guckaisee, Kunstmeile and Steinwand are just a few of the many different highlights. Also worth mentioning is the "Rhöner Charme" initiative, in which farmers, suppliers and restaurateurs have joined forces to promote quality and customs in the region. Here you can experience traditional Rhön dishes of the highest quality. The baroque town of
Fulda (approx. 15 min.) and the theater and cultural city of Meiningen are easily and quickly accessible by car. The distance to Frankfurt/Main is approx. 110 km via the A66 and to Würzburg approx. 100 km via the A7. This makes Poppenhausen a major national attraction.
