Charming Villa Gerby for sale – with potential for new construction

Villa Gerby is a protected, historically significant villa located right next to Gerby marina. The property combines cultural heritage, beautiful architecture, and a maritime setting in a unique way.

Over the years, the villa has served as a summer residence, a restaurant, and even a youth centre. Villa Gerby offers great potential for both private residential use and as office or commercial space. The property presents an attractive opportunity, for example, for those in the construction sector looking to develop high-quality business and residential space near the sea.

Additional construction permitted under the local plan

The total area of the plot for sale is 4,618 m². It includes 500 m² in gross floor area of new building rights for detached houses and 160 m² in gross floor area of building rights for a new auxiliary building. The villa and the outbuilding are protected and may not be demolished. However, additional construction and alterations may be carried out, provided they do not compromise the architectural or cultural-historical value or style of the two buildings.

Sale will be negotiated directly with prospective buyers

Villa Gerby is being sold as a whole (the plot, new building rights, and protected buildings) in its current condition and with existing fittings.
