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.
