Historic Mosel Villa in Traben-Trarbach (DE)

Located directly along the idyllic Middle Moselle and separated from the river only by a small road, this impressive late neoclassical villa dating from 1861 enjoys an exceptional setting.

This remarkable property combines historic charm, generous proportions and an intelligent architectural design specifically conceived for flood protection – a true rarity in the region. The main villa is not listed as a protected monument. The property also includes a large outbuilding, a listed historic coach house.

The plot has a total surface area of approximately 2,700 m² and offers 9 outdoor parking spaces in its upper section. There may also be the possibility to construct an additional building on the site.

The living area of this unique property is approximately 440 m² over two full floors (ground floor and first floor). The attic, which is only partially developed, offers an additional potential of around 220 m², allowing for a total possible living area of approximately 660 m².

The layout of the two main floors is as follows:

• 11 rooms with ceiling heights of approximately 3.8 m, some featuring original stucco, parquet flooring or solid wood floorboards
• 2 large kitchens fitted with built-in units
• 2 full bathrooms with shower, bathtub, WC, bidet and double washbasin
• Spacious staircase
• A balcony with direct views over the Moselle

The wooden windows are partially fitted with leaded glass.

The property underwent extensive renovation between 2008 and 2010. All trades were renewed, including electrical installations, plumbing, heating, as well as floor and wall finishes.

The listed coach house (approx. 35 x 6 m, partially over two floors) includes a small chapel. It offers a wide range of potential uses, for example as a space for a classic car collection or an art collection.

The villa features a unique construction that fully protects the building from potential Moselle flooding starting at ground floor level. Two complete basement levels (approximately 220 m² each, 440 m² in total), which are intentionally designed to be flooded during high water events, provide comprehensive protection for the structure.

The upper basement level has two direct exits to the grounds and may also be affected during severe flooding, which last occurred in 1983 and 1993. This construction system has proven its effectiveness since 1861.
