Located in a secluded setting in the Isar Valley, within Munich’s most sought-after southern residential corridor, Villa Hüglin is a restored 1913 estate set on 17,000 m² (4,20 acres) of private parkland, combining the architectural language of a historic German villa with a fully updated contemporary interior.
In Munich’s southern arc, stretching from Grünwald toward Lake Starnberg, large private estates of this scale are rarely brought to market. The area offers proximity to Munich alongside direct access to the Isar River, Lake Starnberg, and the Bavarian Alps, with ski areas such as Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Lenggries reachable within about an hour.
Unlike the denser residential districts within Munich itself, the southern corridor offers larger plots and a more open landscape while maintaining direct access to the city. This stretch of the Isar Valley has long been associated with primary family residences, where space, proximity to nature, and access to established schools and infrastructure are combined in a single setting.
Built in 1913 and protected as a listed historic monument, the villa extends across 510 m² (5,490 sq ft) of living space, with an additional 230 m² (2,475 sq ft) of ancillary areas. The property comprises 13 rooms, including 10 bedrooms, arranged over four levels.
Architecturally, Villa Hüglin presents as a classic early 20th-century German villa, with a restrained white-rendered façade, slate roof, and balanced proportions characteristic of the period.
Following the Second World War, the villa served as a temporary residence for several notable figures, including Katja Mann, the writer and matriarch of one of Germany’s most prominent literary families; Cardinal Michael von Faulhaber, Archbishop of Munich and a central religious figure in Bavaria during the first half of the 20th century; and Gustav Gründgens, one of the most influential German actors and theatre directors of his time.
Their presence places the house within a broader cultural context, extending its history beyond that of a purely private residence.
The house has since undergone a comprehensive restoration. Original elements such as herringbone parquet flooring, stucco ceilings, and double-leaf doors have been preserved, alongside the introduction of contemporary systems, materials, and amenities designed for daily use.
The ground floor includes a kitchen and dining area, a fireplace room, and a garden room with direct access to a large terrace. The kitchen, installed in 2024, is by Leicht, fitted with Gaggenau appliances, and features a lighting concept by PS-Lab.
The first floor accommodates multiple bedrooms and children’s rooms, along with two bathrooms. The second floor is configured as a master suite, including a bedroom, en suite bathroom, dressing area, and access to a private roof terrace with an outdoor bath and open views. The attic level provides additional living space
The lower ground level includes a sauna with shower and garden access, a wine cellar, and utility rooms. A self-contained guest apartment with a private entrance provides separate accommodation for guests, staff, or office use.
A separate garage building accommodates three vehicles and includes additional storage space.
The grounds extend across 17,000 m² (4,20 acres) and are arranged as a landscaped park with mature trees and open lawn areas. Outdoor features include a heated swimming pool with a counter-current system and a sun terrace, alongside garden elements including a treehouse and trampoline.
An adjacent parcel with an additional residential structure of approximately 140 m² (1,507 sq ft), currently used as an artist’s studio, is available for separate acquisition.
Villa Hüglin is situated approximately 20 kilometres south of Munich, with access to the city centre, including Marienplatz, in around 30 minutes via the A95 motorway or S-Bahn. The shores of Lake Starnberg can be reached in approximately 15 minutes, while the Isar River is around 7 minutes away. Local infrastructure includes a supermarket, pharmacy, medical services, restaurants, and traditional inns, as well as nearby equestrian and golf facilities.
Educational institutions in the area include the Gymnasium Kloster Schäftlarn, the St. Anna Colleg, primary schools in Ebenhausen, and several kindergartens. The Munich International School and Montessori Centre Biberkor are directly accessible via school transport, making this a highly attractive location for families.
While the exterior remains consistent with its 1913 origins, the interior has been adapted to meet contemporary expectations of space, functionality, and comfort. The result is a residence that retains the architectural identity of an early 20th-century German villa, adapted to modern family living.
The estate is exclusively offered by Mack Immobilien GmbH, listed at €7.9 million.
