Where Vienna is at its greenest: exclusive building plot for your bespoke home

Property Description

In an exceptionally quiet setting between the Lainzer Tor and the Hörndlwald woods, this building plot of approx. 632 m² is located in the sought-after Friedensstadt area of Vienna's 13th district. It offers the ideal opportunity to build your own individual dream home in one of Vienna's greenest, most tranquil and most value-stable residential areas.

The plot currently contains an existing building in need of extensive renovation. This opens up two very different but equally exciting routes for future owners or developers:

Option 1: Full renovation down to the shell – for enthusiasts who wish to retain the existing structure and bring it back to life from the ground up, exactly to their own vision.

Option 2: Demolition and new build – removing the existing building clears the way for a modern construction project in a prime location. A new build allows you to make the most of the available building envelope, in line with the planning regulations, and to create a bespoke private dream home or a contemporary residential project to your own specifications.

Development Potential & Area Analysis

The plot is zoned as a residential area, building class I, with a maximum building height of 6.5 metres and originally designated for closed (attached) construction. At its highest point, the roof may rise up to 4.5 metres above this 6.5-metre limit. The key planning flexibility for making use of the plot derives from the special building regulations BB1 and BB2. BB1 expressly permits interruption of the otherwise mandatory closed construction. BB2 sets out the exact dimensions of the building: the main wing facing the street may extend a maximum of 12.0 metres into the plot. As the plot has a physical width of approx. 8.5 metres, this front main block can be built across the full width (12.0 m x 8.5 m). Beyond this 12-metre main wing, the building may only be extended further into the garden along one of the two side boundaries. This rear extension is limited in width to half the width of the plot, which here equates to exactly 4.25 metres. Separate height limits also apply to this rear wing: the firewall standing directly on the boundary may be a maximum of 6.0 metres high, while the free-standing façade facing away from the neighbour may be no more than 3.5 metres high. In addition, the regulations stipulate that ancillary buildings are limited to a total area of 25 square metres per building plot, and that all undeveloped areas not required for access must be laid out as garden. Making optimal use of these provisions – in particular the 12-metre wing depth and the permitted extension on the boundary – allows a maximum building footprint of approx. 119 m²; after deducting 20 % for wall thickness, this results in around 95 m² of net living area on the ground floor alone. Spread across the ground floor, a full upper floor and the permitted attic floor, this enables a total achievable usable living area of over 250 m².

The building plot enjoys a particularly quiet and green residential setting in Vienna's 13th district. The area around the Lainzer Tor and the Hörndlwald is characterised predominantly by detached family homes, villas, well-kept gardens and a pleasantly spacious, low-density layout. A particular advantage is the immediate proximity to the Lainzer Tiergarten: the Lainzer Tor is only around 400 metres away as the crow flies, giving direct access to one of Vienna's most important nature and recreation areas. Walking paths, running routes, the Hermesvilla and extensive woodland and green spaces are therefore practically on your doorstep. Entry to the Lainzer Tiergarten is free of charge.
