Agricultural property

The agricultural property Dieplischwand 2 is located in the mountain zone 2 and comprises several buildings, some of which have been renovated. The total area consists of around 11.4 hectares of agricultural land, 4.3 hectares of forest and about 0.25 hectares of non-productive land, spread over 5 plots. The land is located right next to the farm and is well connected. It is not currently possible to keep animals all year round, as the former barn in particular lacks a manure storage facility. During the growing season, seasonal animal husbandry is possible in the existing barn.

Agricultural land and forest
The agricultural land is mostly suitable for use as meadow or pasture land. Arable farming is not possible. The soils are of medium quality and partly overgrown with bushes and rocks. The forest area can be managed and the timber can be extracted or transported away via a winch and access road.

The agricultural property comprises around 11.4 hectares of agricultural land, which is contiguous and consists of various slopes. The land is located in the Klimazone D 5-6, in a typical fodder-growing location.

Buildings
The water supply is secured by a private spring. The flow rate is around 6 to 10 liters per minute.

Residence – Building No. 397 (basic dimensions approx. 15.7 x 11.7m)

Barnyard – Building No. 397b (basic dimensions approx. 18.5 x 11.4m)

Important information on legal provisions

Land law

The property is subject to the provisions of the Federal Act on Agricultural Land Law (BGBB).

• DThe buyer must manage the property itself (= self-management)
• The price may not be inflated (already checked by the seller)
• The property is located in the usual agricultural area of the municipality (6 to max. 8 km, only if the buyer already runs a farm business)

High demands are made of self-management. In order to prove the credibility of self-management when acquiring a secondary agricultural business, the authority requires a management plan.
