Farm for sale - 8352 Elsau

Old farmhouse in Schottikon. The location is very good, close to the city of Winterthur, Frauenfeld, and the greater Zurich area (35 min by public transport), as well as schools for all age groups are available in Elsau. Renovation/repairs are certainly necessary.

In principle, one can live very simply in the living area, everything works (fireplace, oven, bath, water, electricity, stove, washing machine, dryer, deep freezer, etc.). There are 5 rooms, remodeling and extensions are possible. Necessary renovations could be made in the living area (windows, repairs, painting work, a fitted kitchen, etc.) and then live cheaply in the house and gradually renovate, refurbish, and remodel elements. There is a lot of space around the house, currently small animal husbandry is possible, stables are available. It would be possible to keep sheep, goats, chickens, rabbits, etc.; until about 1990, there were still cows. Natural cellar available.

The building volume of 990 m3 offers plenty of room for design, and there are no legal obstacles to expanding for more living space. The living area today is approximately 110 m2. The size of the property is 566 m2. The house is connected to the sewage system, and Sunrise UPC Cablecom and Swisscom connections are available.

- Directly at the house, one can rent a meadow of 891 m2 cheaply, e.g., for gardening or managing fruit trees (eating apples, pears, cider apples) and as pasture and grass and hay for animals.
- Furthermore, another meadow, 800 m away, with 5500 m2, is available for lease for cultivation.

Core zone:
The characteristic design of the facade division, the residential and economic parts, roof with clay tiles, and 2 floors with an attic should be maintained, but no elements are protected. The northeast-facing building parts at the entrance (shed, stables) can be freely remodeled; this part could also accommodate an additional apartment or new stables (horses?, etc.). In general, room heights and walls can be changed in their locations.

On-site:
