Located directly on the main street, this property combines grown historical substance with an exceptional potential for the future - a rare combination that can hardly be found on the market a second time. The former tea room area on the ground floor can be further developed in a variety of ways: as an attractive commercial space, as a studio, or as part of a completely new usage concept. Even greater potential lies in the economic area: wide stages, high air spaces, and a supportive existing structure create the best conditions for exceptional reuse - from atmospheric loft living space to a thoughtful connection between living and working. This property is aimed at a buyer with a vision - at all those who do not want to replace historical building substance, but to continue it in their sense. Thoughtful concepts are being sought that preserve the character of the building, honor its history, and combine it with contemporary architecture and modern floor plans. For all those who enjoy reinterpreting existing buildings, a rare opportunity with great design leeway is offered here. History of the property The farmhouse was built in 1828 and shaped agricultural life in Koppigen for over a century. In 1931, the agricultural operation was discontinued. In 1979, the barn and hayloft area was converted into a tea room, which was a fixed part of village life for decades. In 1994, the roof of the residential part was renovated, and in 2006, an oil central heating system was installed. In 2023, the operation of the tea room and the adjacent bakery shop was discontinued - since then, the building has been open to a new, forward-looking use. Architecture and modern floor plans are combined. For all those who enjoy reinterpreting existing buildings, a rare opportunity with great design leeway is offered here. Object & Areas The property (land register number 448, land register community Koppigen) is located in the core zone, where the adjacent zones are also designated as core zones. The building is not built massively and includes a plot area of 2,061 m², a net living area of 250 m², and a garden area of 1,602 m². The volume, including garages, is 4,861 m³. Properties The house has more than 10 rooms and thus offers a lot of space for individual living and usage concepts. In the apartment, there is a toilet available, and in the former restaurant area, three more customer toilets and a separate toilet for employees complement the offer. Outside, there are 15 spacious parking spaces available - a clear advantage for commercial and private use. The property is heated by an oil central heating system with radiators as heat distribution. The property is under monument protection and thus preserves its unique historical character. At the same time, the attic is expandable, which opens up additional design leeway for a sensible expansion of the usable areas - an ideal combination of protected heritage and future-oriented potential. Architectural Heritage Former farmhouse from 1828, with conversions in 1969 and 1977 to a residential and commercial house (expansion of the economy). The classical Sichtriegbau rests on a sandstone cellar base and is crowned by a powerful half-hip roof with a painted Ründi. The six-window-axis-wide, colorfully designed south facade, as well as the board arcades of the side laundries with decorative edges, the two-colored Zopfbüge, and the rectangular and pointed arch windows in six-part division with profiled window sills and lintels, testify to an exceptionally high-quality carpentry work. Two house doors with curved door lintels and staged staircases, old window shutters, and a sandstone cellar with two entrances underline the historical character. On the west side, there is a Jurassic stone fountain. Together with the building Hauptstrasse 18, the property forms a dominant building on the main street, placed in a corner between Oesch and Mühlegässli. In particular, when approaching from the southeast, the property appears prominently - an exponent of the Koppigen village center that is equally significant in terms of position and intrinsic value. Conclusion: A rare opportunity with a future For a buyer with a sense of substance and design will, a rare opportunity is offered here: an object that not only provides living space but also entrepreneurial leeway - centrally located, with grown infrastructure, and in a community that combines tradition and quality of life. Whoever is willing to continue writing this legacy will find in this property much more than a house, namely the basis for a project with a future.
