Red brick amidst greenery: This thoughtfully restored farmhouse in the quiet village of Petershagen, near the Oderbruch, offers a serene and stylish take on modern country living. With its pared-back elegance, it brings the spirit of rural life into the present day.
Surrounded by endless fields, meadows, and forests, the landscape around this idyllic Uckermark village is peaceful and expansive. At the edge of the village lies this detached, three-sided farmstead, where only the occasional crane makes a regular appearance. Aside from seasonal farming activity or the rare passing car, tranquillity reigns across the 7,000-square-metre garden estate. The property includes a house, stable, and shed, as well as a historic wooden tobacco barn typical of the region.
According to local records, the farm was originally built around the turn of the century by the village's castle lord for his mistress. It was later owned and run by the Albrecht family for their own livelihood.
The farmhouse’s historically significant architecture—with a base of glacial fieldstone and brick in a sloped construction—remains intact. The interior has been renovated with great care and subtlety, preserving its original character while quietly introducing the comforts of modern living. What were once two separate living areas have been combined into one generous, light-filled space, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the home with daylight from both sides. The restrained interior design blends antiques, design classics, and contemporary pieces, fostering a calm, peaceful atmosphere through the use of natural materials, warm textures, and a palette of neutral, earthy tones. No artwork is needed—the views from the tall windows are a visual experience in themselves.
The home features a spacious eat-in kitchen and an adjoining living room with a fireplace and sofa, along with two double bedrooms and a bathroom. The gently cultivated garden includes flower beds, trees, and shrubs, as well as an outdoor cold-water shower, a fire barrel with a grill, and numerous quiet spots to enjoy throughout the seasons.
