Historic farmhouse with land in the Donnersberg region – Bruchstein farmhouse with great potential.

For sale in the historic village of Hengstbacherhof, near Sankt Alban in the Donnersberg district, is an exceptional property. The estate comprises a spacious main house with a large barn, stables, further outbuildings, a sheltered courtyard, and approximately 2,800 m² of land with gardens, meadows, and open spaces. The two-story main house offers approximately 245 m² of living space, a small self-contained apartment, and an additional attic space that can be further developed. Due to its size and layout, it is possible to develop up to four independent living areas or units in the future. Furthermore, the extensive outbuildings offer significant potential. The large barn, with its impressive roof space, former stables, and other storage, workshop, and utility rooms, provides an exceptional amount of space for a wide range of ideas – for example, additional living units, a workshop and craft space, an artist's studio, office space, guest accommodations, communal areas, or other uses. This historically significant estate offers a wide range of possibilities for use and development. The residential building was fully occupied until the end of 2024. Subsequently, renovation work began inside. In several rooms, wallpaper and, in some cases, older layers of plaster were removed. In its current state of renovation, the house is not yet habitable. However, the existing structure provides excellent conditions for further renovation. The building's historical construction is largely authentic and has been relatively little altered by later additions or modifications. The solid natural stone walls, historical timber-frame walls with straw-clay insulation, and wooden beam ceilings with straw-clay create a particularly interesting foundation for a renovation that respects the building's structure and uses natural materials. An architect experienced in historical buildings has assessed the structural condition of the courtyard buildings as very sound. The outdoor areas also contribute to the unique character of the property. The courtyard opens to the west, directly onto the vast hilly landscape of the North Palatinate mountain range. The garden and meadow areas create generous transitions between the historic buildings and the open landscape, providing space for gardening, self-sufficiency, outdoor activities, or personal design ideas. In the western part of the property, there is also an undeveloped area. According to the local council, this area is designated for mixed development in the land use plan, offering additional potential for construction. Additional arable land, grassland, agroforestry areas, and orchards in the immediate vicinity can be leased on request. Therefore, Hengstbacherhof 7 is not just a typical residential property, but an exceptionally versatile historical living and working space: with generous living space, ample storage in the outbuildings, extensive outdoor areas, and direct access to the open countryside.

Tranquility, vastness, and landscape – yet still well-connected:
The location is one of the exceptional qualities of this property. The Hengstbacherhof is part of the municipality of Sankt Alban in the Donnersberg district and is nestled in the expansive, gently rolling hills of the northern Palatinate region. The farm is located on the western edge of the small, historic village – right where the buildings end and the landscape opens up. Meadows, fields, orchards, and wide horizons characterize the scenery. From the higher elevations and the surrounding area, the views extend across the northern Palatinate hills to the Donnersberg, the highest mountain in the Palatinate region, at 687 meters. Walking paths, field roads, and access roads begin practically at the doorstep. Hengstbacherhofstrasse is a private road and is used almost exclusively by the few residents and those with properties connected to it. There is virtually no through traffic. Accordingly, the area is very quiet, both during the day and at night. The low population density and minimal light pollution allow for a truly impressive view of the starry sky on clear nights. The unique combination of tranquility, spaciousness, nature, and an exceptionally large landscape creates a special place to live at Hengstbacherhof. Enjoy rural living while still maintaining a well-organized daily life:

Despite its exceptionally peaceful location, Hengstbacherhof is well-connected to the regional infrastructure.
