A beautifully situated plot at the foot of Auerbach Castle, the so-called "Goldstaubviertel", with an approved building application for an exquisite construction of new apartment building with up to three residential units. Alternatively, it can also be designed as a villa for a family, in a beautiful hillside location in the exclusive residential area of Bensheim-Auerbach. The plans envisage a very special, modern detached building with appealing architecture.
PLOT
This 638 m² plot is located at the foot of Auerbach Castle and is part of an architecturally harmonious residential area with newly built villas on the one hand and historic cultural monuments on the other. A beautiful interplay of villas designed by Heinrich Metzendorf, historical monuments built around 1900 and high-quality modern detached villas built in the modern era. An exclusive residential opportunity.
The appeal of the property lies, among other things, in its elevated location on the Schlossberg and the spacious properties. Embedded in the established residential area, partly overgrown with lush trees, this plot benefits from tranquillity and visual distance.
The plot currently still has an existing house, which will make way for the approved new building. For sale is a developed plot in its current state with project planning and approval for an exclusive new building project. The property is just waiting to be brought back to life in accordance with the building permit and architect's plans.
The projected and approved new building project is characterized by a highly modern, sophisticated architecture.
Optionally, this plot can be extended by the directly adjoining plot to the north towards Talstraße with an area of 288 m². Planning permission has also been granted here for an exclusive two-family house.
APPROVED DEVELOPMENT
The approved building project provides for three residential units. The m² details correspond to the approval planning, deviations from the implementation planning are possible:
Residential unit on the first floor
An ideally laid out, approx. 157 m² apartment with 3 bedrooms facing the quiet gardens, one of which is designed as a master area with en-suite bathroom and access to its own loggia with terrace. The spacious kitchen-dining-living area, also with access to a loggia and adjoining south-facing terrace, is equally impressive. Overall, this apartment offers an exciting living ambience with 4 terraces in different directions and 2 large bathrooms, each with the option of a bathtub. This level is wheelchair accessible.
Residential unit on the 1st floor
This approx. 150 m² residential unit is comparable to the layout of the apartment on the first floor, with the only differences being the two loggias and a balcony in the outdoor areas.
Residential unit in the attic
On the top level, the living space is spread over approx. 118 m² with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, of which the master bathroom ensuite could be designed with a bathtub and shower, and a spacious, open-plan living/cooking/dining area. 3 balconies also meet the highest standards in this residential unit.
The space on offer is complemented by an underground garage with 5 parking spaces, space for bicycles, technical equipment, 3 separate cellar rooms and a staircase with elevator.
LOCATION
The property is located in one of the most popular and stylish residential areas of the hessische Bergstraße, surrounded by cultural monuments, in the climatic health resort of Bensheim-Auerbach. A place known for wine-growing, a culturally balanced offering and an attractive, active environment. Whether walks in the Fürstenlager state park, hiking and cycling trails to Auerbach Castle, in the vineyards or in the tranquil forest - the immediate surroundings offer all this and make the living experience a very special one. The town center is characterized by narrow streets with half-timbered houses, excellent restaurants and quaint squares.
A stone's throw away, the surrounding area offers schools known far beyond its borders (Altes Kurfürstliches Gymnasium, Schillerschule), a city center that encourages people to linger and shop, as well as a wide range of cultural offerings from the municipal theater to the well-known Winzerfest.
Darmstadt is only a 20-minute drive to the north, Frankfurt Airport is a short distance away, the Odenwald forest to the east and the route to Heidelberg or Mannheim via Weinheim to the south.
