A true residential gem with a lot of potential!

Whether as a two-family or multi-generational house, for living and working under one roof, or as a spacious single residence - this property offers you numerous possibilities for individual development.

Location:
A roughly 225-year-old farmhouse is for sale on a generous agricultural plot of 2,702 m² (No. 491) in the hamlet of Salen, municipality 9035 Grub AR - near the famous spa town of Heiden. The property is located at 900 m above sea level in an absolutely quiet and sunny panoramic location and offers a dreamlike view of Lake Constance, the Allgäu, and the Vorarlberg Alps.

An idyllic stream forms the eastern property boundary. Despite the considerable size of the plot, the property is not subject to agricultural land law, nor are there any heritage protection restrictions.

**Property description:
**The farmhouse was originally used as two residential units - a 4-room house part (old building) and a 4.5-room house part (former stable, completely converted into living space in 1972 and approved).
