I am delighted to be able to offer you exclusive residential property in a picturesque, rural setting - just 7 kilometers from Stralsund's main railway station. The Schwalbenhof combines historical building fabric with modern design possibilities and offers you the unique opportunity to realize your dream apartment according to your individual wishes. The apartments in the "Schwalbenhof" also impress with a low final heating requirement of just 66.78 kW/(m²*a).

In three apartments, one large room can be divided into two smaller ones, creating a 5-room apartment.

The building was completely structurally renovated, including the professional fixing of a settlement crack at the north-west corner. The roof truss and roof covering have been completely renewed. All supply and disposal lines (electricity, rainwater, fresh water and waste water) were re-laid in accordance with the new technical requirements and installed ready for connection up to the upper floor.

On Friday, 26.07.2018, the Ostsee-Zeitung reported on the topping-out ceremony under the title "Living in the horse stable". There are no longer any horses here, but there are plenty of swallows, which is why I decided to rename the project "Schwalbenhof". Barn swallows are so called because they used to nest in the wide chimneys of houses and still only nest inside buildings today. House martins also nest outside under roof overhangs.

The original plan was to build 2 vacation apartments in the barn, but then I quickly gave the barn to the swallows. It has now actually become a vacation apartment. In summer for the swallows and in winter for the bats.

The house is divided into 8 ownership units. 7 of these are intended for apartments and the eighth is the still original barn area on the first floor, which is designated as a commercial unit but is only used as storage space and is the "substitute habitat" for the strictly protected barn swallows in summer.

Even before the renovation, some swallows lived in the barn and some in the roof. We started renovating the roof before the swallows returned in the spring so as not to destroy any nests and made sure that all the ventilation openings in the barn were open, which the swallows use as a cat-safe entry and exit point, so that the move went smoothly.

When I first drove to Klein Kordshagen to visit the future Schwalbenhof, I was surprised that the distance to the Ostseecenter shopping center (Langendorfer Berg) was only 3 km and the distance to the Stralsund town limits was only 800 meters.

At the entrance to the town, I noticed a dead-end sign and a 30 km/h sign as well as a sign for moose crossing. I haven't seen any moose here yet, but I have seen roe deer and foxes before and in the village. It is safest to drive at a moderate speed well before the village as dusk begins to fall.

You should also pay attention to the 30 km/h sign, because the children here are used to playing on the road and riding bikes or scooters, as I remember from my childhood, and the residents of the village, who I have come to know as consistently nice, are happy to go for a walk, even with baby carriages, because there is no through traffic.

At the end of the village, where the Schwalbenhof towers imposingly 1m higher on the right, the road, which is now called Hof, turns right and leads around the square back to the village road. On the left, somewhat hidden behind the lime trees on the rondel in front, you can now see the Klein Kordshagen manor house, which is a listed building together with the lime tree rondel.

At the corner, the road disappears as a dirt track in the forest, which leads on to Krönnevitz and Duvendiek as far as the L21, from where it is only 30 km to Zingst, which more and more cyclists have now discovered as an insider tip as a shortcut.

I was so impressed by the Schwalbenhof on my first visit, but also by the beautiful situation and surroundings at the end of the village, that I spontaneously fell in love with the house and the place.
