Trakehner stud farm – Gut Staffelde

The manor house

The manor house with its spacious rooms extends over several floors and is currently divided into 6 residential units, some of which can be reconnected.

The entrance area with a separate anteroom leads to a small hall with a fireplace, from where you can reach the kitchen, the salon with a fireplace room and the side wing.

The main apartment with approx. 400 sqm is divided on the first floor into salon with fireplace room as well as access to the modern eat-in kitchen with underfloor heating in the dining area and office. The living area impresses with a stucco ceiling and the large fireplace, which provides a cozy atmosphere. The winter garden adjoins and offers a magnificent view of the historic garden and the plane tree avenue.

The wooden and ornate staircase to the upper floor is located to the left of the entrance area in the reception hall. This leads to a spacious anteroom, which in former times and also currently is used as a study/library. On the upper floor, in addition to the master bedroom with bathroom and dressing area, there is also the separate area for children or guests with 3 additional rooms as well as bathroom and guest toilets. The individual areas can be opened as a circular walkway and connected with each other.

A balcony extends over the area of the winter garden on the upper floor. Another balcony above the front vestibule also opens a beautiful view over the garden landscape and the stud farm.

The manor also includes two separate residential units in the side wing, each with 150 square meters of living space, each with new bathrooms and kitchens and accessible via a separate entrance.
The first floor apartment includes the former dining room with its 90 sqm. The connection to the fireplace room can be made again without further ado. The opening and connection of the private rooms is also possible on the upper floor.

With a separate access are also two other granny apartments with bathroom and kitchen of 70 sqm each accessible.
On the 2nd floor there is another residential unit of about 130 sqm consisting of 3 rooms with kitchen and bathroom.

The plant

The restored wall surrounds part of the prestigious estate, providing screening and privacy.

The historic garden with its avenue of plane trees and pond offers protection to rare bird species, as does the old stock of trees on the extensive estate. This natural idyll connects the stud’s facilities via numerous paths.

From the 2.5 hectare own forest strip, a direct path leads to the 25 hectare grassland and into the riding area. The paddocks are located inside and outside the natural gallop track, which is close to the manor house and can also be reached via the sycamore avenue.

You can get to the manor via 3 access roads. There is also a separate access road for the fire department and a well for fire extinguishing.
