The property was built in the 18th century from a donation from the Count Palatine Wilhelm von Hontheim to the Mettlach Abbey as Mettlacher Hof. It was the only building to survive the turmoil of the French Revolution. In the meantime auctioned, the house and the associated garden returned to the parish in 1880 and has been in private hands again for several years. The inside of the building was completely rebuilt and the beams worth preserving were exposed. The slate-covered mansard hipped roof was provided with 250 mm thick cellulose insulation in the course of the complete rebuilding; all ceilings were insulated within the floor structure according to the standard. The outer walls are made of quarry stone of considerable thickness, which must not be changed externally due to the protection of historical monuments. Here tradition meets modernism and luxury meets functionality. The result is a unique combination and a pearl on the Mosel.

The location on the outskirts of the cosy wine village of Burg is extremely quiet. The view over the beautifully landscaped garden to the Moselle and the surrounding vineyards is something special at any time of year. In Burg itself there are rustic wine taverns and restaurants, the daily necessities are available in Enkirch, 2 km away, and in Traben-Trarbach, one of the most beautiful and popular wine villages in the Middle Mosel Valley. The art nouveau town of Traben-Trarbach has an excellent infrastructure with shops, first class hotels and restaurants, doctors, schools, thermal swimming pool and numerous sports facilities. A well-developed road network and the proximity to Frankfurt-Hahn airport ensure easy accessibility from all parts of Europe.
