Fast Food Stand on Sylt: An Unique Auction Event!

By Henning Schaffner

Want to grab a one-of-a-kind real estate gem on Sylt? The auction of a former fast food stand — with a starting bid of 270,000 euros — is about to take place! This quirky property, located in Westerland, will hit the auction block in Berlin, and it's a real head-turner.

The location is top-notch: next to the North Sea Clinic, a bus stop, and just a stroll away from the sparkling beach. So, what exactly is this unique little piece of Sylt paradise?

A Rarity in Auction History!

Michael Plettner, the 58-year-old auctioneer of Deutsche Grundstücksauktionen AG, is bubbling with excitement, exclaiming, "We've never auctioned anything like this on Sylt before!" In the past, this 25 square meter building housed a beloved fast food spot, then became an ice cream parlor, and now stands ready to serve a new purpose if the right buyer takes the leap.

With its prime location, there's no shortage of possibilities. Officially, the building is considered commercial property, but there's potential for a vacation rental, office space, or perhaps a cozy café, provided the proper permits are secured.

What's Included?

Beyond the 25 square meters, the property boasts an 8 square meter shed, attic storage, outdoor seating areas, and parking spaces. In total, you're looking at 150 square meters of space to play with. And let's not forget about the additional costs that come with property ownership, such as the agent's fee, notary expenses, and property transfer tax, which amount to approximately 16 to 17 percent of the purchase price.

The Auction in Berlin

If you're feeling lucky, swing by the Grand Hotel Esplanade in Berlin on June 26 for the grand event! Ready to bid in person, on the phone, or by written bid? Just make sure to register beforehand.

While you're at it, don't miss out on more details here. This little property might just be the perfect Sylt retreat for you!
