General Information

This distinctive property consists of a half-timbered house dating from around 1750 and a stone house dating from around 1882, which were joined together around 1977–1980. This created a characterful and spacious property with approximately 130 m² of living space on a plot of approximately 147 m².

An important advantage is that the property is located above the flood-risk level, while the Moselle is still only a short distance away. The centre of Zeltingen-Rachtig is also nearby.

Around 1977–1980, the half-timbered house was completely stripped back and rebuilt. During this period, among other things, the electrical installation and water pipes were renewed, as well as the ceilings and floors. The half-timbered house also received a new roof during this period. The roof of the stone house was renewed in the 1990s.

The property has uPVC double-glazed windows dating from the 1990s. In 2000, a central heating system running on natural gas was installed. In 2021, the gas boiler was replaced and fitted with a domestic hot-water system.

The distinctive and versatile layout makes this property interesting for a variety of target groups. It is suitable, for example, for:

• large families looking for plenty of rooms and living space;
• room rental, for example to cyclists and hikers as a small-scale hostel;
• the creation of small holiday apartments;
• use as a two-family home;
• or potentially the creation of several separate living units, subject to the structural situation and the required permits.

The house requires modernisation. A large part of this concerns mainly cosmetic improvements, such as updating finishes, bathrooms and interior design. The extent of the modernisation will, of course, depend on the future use of the property and the wishes of the new owner.

It is precisely the combination of historic building elements, the generous number of rooms, the location close to the Moselle and the various potential uses that makes this an interesting property for anyone looking for a home with character and development potential.

A distinctive property for those looking to combine space, history and potential in an attractive location on the Moselle.
