Dreamlike property with a large garden, located on the outskirts of the village of Schapen.

For sale in the historic center of Schapener is an exceptional property: Up to 1,528 m² of building land and a garden of up to 2,315 m², featuring mature trees and unobstructed views of the protected landscape area, offer space for individual living ideas. The half-timbered house dating back to 1821 defines the character of the property. Here, historical architecture can be combined with modern living – and extensive renovations are also possible. Enjoy spacious living in a quiet location.

The property is located at the end of a cul-de-sac with a turning area. Traffic is largely limited to the immediate neighborhood. The large garden offers space for relaxation, play, and your own design ideas.

According to a preliminary building inquiry, construction of up to three buildings is possible: two new buildings, as well as the repurposing of the half-timbered house or its replacement with a third building. This offers the property the potential for a spacious private home, a multi-generational concept, or several independent residential buildings. The possibility of preserving the historical gable is particularly interesting: Under the conditions of the building permit, the existing height of 12 meters can be utilized. For new constructions, a maximum building height of 9 meters is planned, with two full floors.

Building Condition and Regulations:
The timber-framed house is in a dilapidated condition and would require extensive renovation if it were to be reused. In the event of a land division, at least the southern part of the building would need to be demolished. The timber-framed house is not a listed building. There is no zoning plan for the property. There are no existing building encumbrances. A report on hazardous substances is available. Asbestos-containing materials were found in some window sills, the door to the heating oil storage, and in some components of the heating system. Insulation materials are only present in certain areas.

The property is located in Braunschweig-Schapen, a well-established and village-like district in the east of Braunschweig. Schapen offers a peaceful, nature-oriented living environment while still providing easy access to Braunschweig's city center and the surrounding business areas. The area is characterized by single-family homes, historic farmhouses, fields, meadows, and extensive green spaces. What's particularly appealing is the proximity to nature: walking and cycling paths, as well as the Schapener Forest and the adjacent nature reserves, offer a high level of recreational opportunities right on your doorstep. At the same time, Schapen enjoys good transport links. Braunschweig's city center, as well as the districts of Riddagshausen, Volkmarode, and Gliesmarode, are easily accessible. There is also convenient access to Wolfsburg. Shopping facilities, schools, kindergartens, medical care, and other essential amenities are located in Schapen or in the immediately adjacent districts. This location is particularly well-suited for people who are looking for spacious living in a green environment, but who don't want to forgo the infrastructure and proximity to a major city. The property itself benefits from its generous garden area and the unobstructed view of the surrounding landscape. Combined with the historic timber-framed buildings, this creates a location with a character that is rarely found within the city of Braunschweig.
