For sale is a historic inn with a ballroom, stage, and outbuildings in an idyllic location, directly next to the church in an old horseshoe-shaped settlement with a history of a thousand years. It is also very quiet, located on a dead-end street and surrounded by fields, meadows, and paths. The 1557 m² plot is divided into a front courtyard with old cobblestones, a rear courtyard with a 125-year-old linden tree and a small garden with a lawn, as well as a lower-lying area with a parking area and a second garden. Starting in the year 2000, a comprehensive renovation was carried out, with particular emphasis on preserving the historical elements and features to maintain and restore the unique atmosphere. A second key focus was on improving energy efficiency through careful, yet highly effective, insulation of the facades and roof areas, with particular attention paid to moisture regulation. As a result, the operating costs of the buildings are relatively low. Furthermore, a completely biological wastewater treatment plant with free direct discharge, 4000 liters of rainwater for washing machines and toilets, hot water provided by solar thermal energy and a heat pump, contribute to favorable utility costs. Features include:
- New beaver-tail roof tiles on four buildings (excluding the hall), installed in 2001.
- Complete restoration of the timber frame and historical plasterwork (completed in 2021).
- Complete renewal of the electrical systems, water supply, and wastewater drainage. Newly installed, high-efficiency 16kW heat pump. The oil-fired central heating system is still operational and certified until 2040. In addition, there are 7 modern or traditional wood-burning stoves. The property features thermo-wood windows (installed in 2001) and internal wall insulation in the timber-frame areas. The facade was insulated externally in 2017/2020 using mineral fiber panels. A large conservatory was added in 2008. There is also a beautifully designed steam sauna (installed in 2018). The property includes two cellars, plus a romantic, old vaulted cellar (formerly used for brewing beer).

There are no major outstanding renovation projects, but of course, there are always smaller repairs to be done. Everything has been renovated piece by piece over many years, with great care and attention to detail. Thanks to the extensive insulation measures, it is easy to convert to a heat pump system. A key advantage of this property is that it has a total of three large roof areas perfectly positioned for photovoltaic installation, which can then be used for electricity generation and heating.

The property is located on a quiet cul-de-sac in the Burtschütz district of the municipality of Elsteraue, which offers a primary school, kindergarten, doctor's office, discount supermarket, bakery, and various clubs. Zeitz (a town of 23,000 inhabitants, with higher education institutions, a hospital, and a Kaufland supermarket) is just 2 km away. Furthermore, several innovative projects, including alternative housing options, have already established themselves in the surrounding area.

The property is surrounded by fields, meadows, and pathways, and is very close to the Elster cycle path. Leipzig is easily accessible by car (approx. 40 minutes) via the B2 road. There are also train connections between Zeitz and Leipzig, or Profen and Leipzig, running approximately every hour, with a journey time of 40 minutes. A suburban train connection is currently being planned. The A9 and A4 motorways are both within a 25 km drive. Therefore, if you are looking for a high-quality renovated farmhouse, surrounded by nature, in a quiet location but not isolated, with plenty of historical charm, and want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city with your (large) family, shared living arrangement, or artistic project, this could be the perfect place for you.

It is particularly suitable for communal living projects due to the flexible layout of communal and private spaces, and the good potential for generating income through the diverse uses of the ballroom.
