Biesenthal: 1,646 square meters of developed land near the train station, existing building, solar panel installation, 40 minutes from Berlin.

1. 646 m² of private land nestled between historic villas. A one-minute walk to the train station, just under 40 minutes by train to central Berlin – also easily accessible by car. The property features a small, solidly built house that requires renovation, a barn, a garden shed, and a modern photovoltaic system with a 21 kWh battery. I am selling privately and directly. No commission, no estate agent involved; you will be speaking directly with me. What's on offer: the land.

The property, located in a historically developed area, is cultivated in a natural way. The garden offers apples, pears, cherries, plums, raspberries, blackberries, rowan berries, hawthorn, sea buckthorn, elderberries, gooseberries, strawberries, rhubarb, and more. It faces southwest, providing plenty of sunlight. There is ample space for self-sufficiency, a workshop, a studio, animals, a second building – or simply for privacy. The street is a tree-lined avenue with historic villas, and the property is part of the historical railway complex. The house, honestly:

Approximately 54 m², with three rooms, a bathroom with a bathtub, a fitted kitchen with modern, high-quality appliances, and a basement. It has a natural stone foundation and walls approximately 50 cm thick – the structure is solid. While habitable, at least the electrical distribution panel in the living area should be updated before moving in. The plasterwork could also benefit from renovation. Anyone who buys this property should ideally have time and/or some extra budget available. Here are some specific details about the condition:
• Built in 1880 (two stories), but the first floor was demolished after war damage in 1945, leaving it as a single-story building with a grey plaster finish from the East German era.
• Foundation: Solid natural stone/fieldstone.
• Roof: Bitumen, approximately 20 years old. It is watertight.
• Windows: Schüco PVC, soundproof.
• Electrical system: The main connection box and meter are modern, but the distribution panel in the living area clearly needs renovation.
• Three out of four basement rooms are completely dry. Only one has slight dampness, but this is effectively addressed by an automatic dehumidifier powered by 100% solar energy, making it a free and excellent solution. If desired, a damp-proofing treatment for the basement walls could be installed.
• Heating/Climate: Wood pellets, firewood, or a heat pump. Electronically controlled pellet stoves from 2020. Alternatively, there is a newly built clay oven for firewood in 2018, constructed by a professional stove builder. And two modern air conditioning systems that cool the house in the summer using excess PV energy, but can also completely heat it during the transition seasons.
• Wooden floors throughout the house (except the kitchen). These have already been renovated in the bedroom. In the other rooms, you can choose to leave them as they are, have them refurbished, or replace them.
• The plaster and brickwork are exposed everywhere; all wallpaper and paneling have been removed. I'm telling you this in advance, rather than during the viewing: The property is located near the train station. Trains do run there, although the garden is usually very peaceful most of the time.

Here's what's already in place and what you won't have to pay extra for:
• Fronius Gen24 10.0 PV system with 2 x BYD-HVS 10.8 batteries, 21 kWh, grid-connected and registered. It provides 10 kW of power without drawing any electricity from the grid. Ideal for electric cars. 32A three-phase power supply at the parking space. • Fiber optic connection with speeds up to 2,500 Mbit/s – perfect for working from home without compromise.
• Fully developed land, including a sewage connection (no septic tank required).
• Barn and garden shed suitable for use as a workshop, storage space, or studio.
• Space for multiple cars.
• Camera surveillance system with AI-powered person and vehicle detection (for the house and garden).
• Mixed-use area: residential and commercial activities are permitted.
Price: €249,000
This 1,646 m² plot of land, in this location, represents approximately €150 per m². This includes a photovoltaic system with storage, a fiber optic connection, and the outbuildings. The asking price also factors in the potential for necessary renovations. The price is negotiable, but we will not consider unrealistic offers.

Biesenthal, Bahnhofstraße. Often referred to as "the longest avenue of Gründerzeit villas in Brandenburg." The train station is practically directly opposite, you just need to cross the street. From there, you can reach Berlin Mitte in under 40 minutes – and this also applies to driving. Located in the immediate vicinity: Kulturbahnhof (concerts, events, readings, poetry slams, etc.), Café Kaiserliches Postamt (incredibly delicious cakes), Freie Naturschule Barnim (for particularly clever and strong children), a bio-store from the Lobetaler Molkerei, an ice cream café, a discount supermarket, and a DHL parcel locker. And all of this is within just 200 meters. In the town itself, there are also five supermarkets (Edeka, Lidl, Netto, Penny, and Aldi), various doctors, daycare centers, veterinarians, several state and private schools and daycare centers, including the multiple award-winning Wukaninchen daycare center, as well as several cafes and restaurants. And then there's the fantastic Wukensee swimming lake. The whole area is nestled in the beautiful Barnim Nature Park, with its forests and lakes. The forest begins just 100 meters from the property. And yes, there is plenty of greenery in the neighborhood in many respects. If you're looking for a brand-new, picture-perfect development with German flags and PVC fences, you won't find it here. I recommend visiting the Kulturbahnhof Biesenthal website or the "Kaiserliches Postamt" cafe. The property is bordered on all four sides by public land. There are no direct neighbors who might peer over a fence. And the nearest neighbors are truly the nicest people you could imagine. Overall, this combination is rare: you live in a rural setting on a large piece of land, yet you're practically in Berlin without a car. The forest begins less than 100 meters from the front door, and at the same time, you have a fantastic infrastructure within walking distance. And you can fully charge your electric car using your own solar power system – completely free of charge in the summer.
