This Estate Is Basically Its Own Tiny Country

This Estate Is Basically Its Own Tiny Country

This is a huge historic coastal estate on the Baltic Sea that’s being sold as one full private property. It covers about 185 acres and has around 90 bedrooms spread across many buildings. The place is currently set up as a high-end resort with a spa, multiple restaurants, and event spaces. It’s fully gated, very private, and priced a lot higher than most homes in the area because it’s more like buying a whole village-sized compound than a single house.

Details

This estate, known as Weissenhaus, is more like a private coastal village than a house. It sits in Wangels in northern Germany, right on the Baltic Sea, behind gates and surrounded by about 185 acres of land. Most of that land is landscaped park, historic grounds, and long stretches of private beachfront, so you are well away from the public once you’re inside. Instead of one big mansion and a few outbuildings, you get about 40 separate historic buildings that have been restored, including the main manor, guest houses, villas, and service buildings. Together they hold roughly 70 full suites, villas, and large residences, adding up to around 90 bedrooms, so it easily works for big families, extended groups, or keeping a lot of guests on-site.

The property is already operating at a very high level, more like a luxury resort than a private home. There’s a large spa complex of about 27,000 square feet with all the usual wellness features, plus quiet relaxation areas and treatment rooms. Food-wise, there are four different fine-dining spots on the grounds, with Michelin-level kitchens, so you don’t really have to leave the property to eat well. There is also a dedicated recording studio and a separate event space, which makes it workable for private concerts, corporate buyouts, or creative retreats. Because it’s fully gated and spread out over such a large area, privacy is a big part of the appeal; you can host a lot of people without feeling crowded.

Even though it’s presented as a “single family home” on paper, this is really a long-term legacy asset for someone who wants both a personal retreat and a serious business or hospitality project. You could keep it as a private country estate, continue to run it as a resort, or mix both in different seasons. The listing is being handled by Sylt Sotheby’s International Realty, and they’re offering more details and financials through a confidential consultation rather than putting everything in the public listing. In short, if you want something that feels like your own private coastal domain, with history and infrastructure already in place, this is set up for that from day one.
