House for sale, Büelstrasse 6 (Rickenbach, Switzerland)

This extraordinary property on an 800 m² plot combines living, working and generational life under one roof. The historic farmhouse with integrated barn offers three residential units, which are internally connected but can be easily separated if necessary. An ideal property for individualists, large families or visionaries who are looking for a lot of space.

The striking half-timbered house from 1790 was extensively renovated in 1995 and impresses with its authentic character. As a municipal protected object, the property is an important architectural and economic historical witness to the settlement core of Rickenbach. The property has interior insulation, a classic gable roof and has a partial basement. The existing need for renovation offers the new owner the opportunity to further develop the entire property according to his own ideas.
