Holiday home Brand­mühle

In the midst of vast fields and orchards, the Brand­mühle bridges the gap between past and present under its his­toric capped cei­lings. Once a horse stable, today a holiday haven with a yoga room and swimming pond.

If you want to escape the gallop of everyday life, an hour’s drive from Berlin you will find gentle wil­derness and tranquil expanses in the Uckermark end moraine land­scape. Close to the small village of See­hausen, nestled between rolling fields, lakes and small beech forests, lies the Brand­mühle, a former horse stable in a secluded location, which was com­pletely gutted and trans­formed into an atmo­spheric holiday home by architect Fer­dinand von Hohen­zollern.

From the outside, the red brick building with its num­erous ent­rances and windows is still remi­niscent of its ori­ginal function. Inside, bright, spa­cious rooms open up beneath the curved, capped cei­lings sup­ported by steel beams. There is plenty of space for up to eight guests. In addition to the large living room with a brick fire­place for long evenings, a lounge-like, wrap-around fire­place bench that invites you to read or take a nap, as well as an open-plan kitchen with a bar, there are four double bed­rooms with views over the coun­tryside. One of the bed­rooms has its own bath and the second has its own shower room. Both bath­rooms — as well as all the floors ‑are levelled with jointless lime plaster. In addition to flowing fix­tures in a light grey, the mini­malist fur­nis­hings are made of rattan or wood. In between, sel­ected details set colourful accents that refer to the rust-red building shell or the ent­rance doors in mint grey and tie in with the history of the house.

The yoga and medi­tation room opens up to nature with large, floor-to-ceiling window doors. On warm days, the large wooden veranda becomes an outdoor living room with an open-air cinema — from the sunset to the passing deer. With its own swimming pond, the pro­perty is part of the chain of lakes between Ober- and Unte­ruckersee and not only enjoys an unob­s­tructed view in all direc­tions, but also the oppor­tunity for an exclusive plunge.
