The fascination of waterfront properties

Water has always exerted a magical attraction on people. It symbolises peace, relaxation and freedom. Owning your own waterfront property means owning a piece of paradise. Waterfront properties in Brandenburg are particularly sought-after as they offer a perfect balance between nature and accessibility to major cities.

Potsdam, the charming state capital of Brandenburg, is characterised by its numerous banks of the Havel, which are lined with historic villas and modern residential complexes. If you are lucky enough to own such a property, you can not only enjoy the flair of the city, but also take advantage of the many water sports opportunities right on your doorstep.

Buying a lakeside home in Brandenburg - nature meets city convenience

The Brandenburg region is rich in lakes and rivers, making it an ideal place to buy a waterside property. Schwielowsee and Scharmützelsee are just two of many gems that are characterised by their beauty and tranquillity. Here you will find extensive plots of land and lakeside houses that offer ideal conditions for leisure activities such as sailing, fishing or simply relaxing.

Potsdam combines picturesque shores with the urban flair of a large city, creating a unique backdrop for luxury living. Lake Templin and Lake Jungfernsee are just a few examples of sought-after residential locations that not only delight nature lovers, but also all those who appreciate urban life. The good infrastructure and proximity to Berlin are additional plus points that attract many prospective buyers.

Great potential for lakeside property

The demand for properties with water access and jetties remains high. Not only private individuals but also investors have recognised the potential of these properties. Sustainable construction methods and ecological concepts are particularly in demand as they respect and preserve the natural environment. Luxury properties that combine modern comfort with an exclusive location are becoming increasingly popular in Potsdam.

"Direct waterfront property, water views or at least close to the water - it's always something like a holiday and therefore always something special. Even in complicated market situations, properties of this type remain scarce and highly sought-after, and therefore stable in price."

"For many people, living by the water is the perfect combination of relaxation and quality of life. The view of the water evokes positive feelings such as space, freedom and relaxation and reminds people of their last holiday. Waterfront properties are therefore still particularly sought-after and retain their value."

"Waterfront properties in Brandenburg continue to enjoy sustained demand. Many buyers dream of a property on the water with direct access. This year, we have noticed that the number of properties that fulfil this criterion is higher than in previous years. However, buyers should keep an eye on the desired use. Often these properties cannot be used as a permanent residence. Only holiday or weekend use is permitted."

Waterfront property with jetty and landing stage

A particular highlight of properties with water access in Potsdam and Brandenburg are the private jetties. These not only offer residents the opportunity to park their own boat right on their doorstep, but also provide access to an extensive water network that invites you to explore. From relaxed sailing on the lakes to exciting excursions by motorboat - the possibilities are almost endless.

In many areas, there are also well-equipped marinas and boat harbours that offer additional amenities such as maintenance services and moorings. For water sports enthusiasts, there are numerous associations and clubs that offer sailing, canoeing and fishing. This infrastructure makes the region attractive not only for private homeowners, but also for investors looking to invest in holiday properties or tourism projects.

Invest in your lakeside property

Waterfront properties are considered to be particularly stable in value. Limited availability and high demand mean that these properties often experience an attractive increase in value. Location, plot size and existing infrastructure play a decisive role here. The infrastructure makes the region attractive not only for private homeowners, but also for investors looking to invest in holiday properties or tourism projects. The demand for exclusive waterfront properties and high-quality holiday homes is high, and the potential for returns through rental or resale is considerable.

However, the dream of owning your own waterfront property also comes with challenges. Nature conservation requirements and flood protection regulations can restrict building projects. Legal regulations on access and the use of jetties must also be observed. A thorough examination of these aspects is essential to prevent surprises later on. We will be happy to advise you on your individual requirements.
