As a reminder of the town of Hain, which was once excavated for coal, a harbor village with a lively atmosphere, shops and vacation apartments, small squares and boat piers is being built here on one of the central open-cast mining lakes in Central Germany.
Surrounded by fields and forests, holiday homes and campsites.
With super-fast access and a stunning, unobstructed south-facing slope overlooking the water, this is a worthwhile investment in this maritime dream property. Take your time and immerse yourself with us in a new dimension of quality of life in Leipzig's New Lake District!
Thanks to the development plan “Ferienhain Nordufer Hainer See”, which the surrounding municipalities, their special purpose association and the operating company Blauwasser have been developing since 2006, we have exclusive building rights on the sunny northern shore, along the most attractive shoreline of Lake Hainer.
The building permit granted to us offers a truly unique feature: it extends right into the lake. This will include a harbor for boats and waterfront buildings.
On a site of approximately 34 square meters with a 10.000-meter elevation difference, 12 houses form a picturesque, unique harbor village on a south-facing slope. The Mediterranean-style houses typically have between 90 and 170 square meters of usable space.
Cars are parked in the shady parking lot a few steps above the harbor village. The basements created by the terracing are rented out and used as shops and warehouses, rental stations and bistros, galleries, and bicycle sheds.
Like Malcesine and Limone on Lake Garda, Kahnsdorf with its lagoon and the harbor village of Hain lie opposite each other.
People visit each other by boat, there are regattas between the two towns, and a lively social exchange, both sporting and cultural. For example, the owners of the holiday homes founded the NBC, the "North Beach Club," in 2018. This regularly attracts great bands and artists to the lake for magical little open-air concerts.
THE HANGING GARDENS OF HAIN
The intentional densification leaves no room for gardens to maintain. Roof terraces serve as private retreats, offering magnificent views of the lake and the surrounding area. Idyllic squares, the boat docks on the lake, and a private beach directly on the east side of the harbor village invite you to stroll and linger.
Lake Hainer See has excellent bathing water quality, which is continuously monitored. Thanks to the flat surrounding landscape and the Leipzig Lowland Bay, there is wonderful wind for sailing and surfing on many days of the year, without making it uncomfortable for bathers. Whether you're an action-packed swimmer or a sun worshipper, everyone will find something to their liking here.
"Maritime flair, a relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere, a wide range of leisure activities, and a perfect location make Lake Hain one of the trendiest destinations in German tourism. The harbor village of Hain will be its heart and center."
Boris Janda, holiday home landlord
“Thanks to the exemplary transport links, I can quickly reach the lake and enjoy the peace and quiet.”
Frank T., holiday home owner
"Whether you like the action of wakeboarding, waterskiing, and kitesurfing or relaxed boating and stand-up paddling, there's something for everyone here."
Andrea K., guest from Dresden
Upon request, we can furnish your vacation apartment so that you or your guests feel at home from the very first moment. Unobtrusive, bright, easy to maintain, and well-thought-out. Whether for a short city trip or a summer vacation in Leipzig's New Lake District.
A central administration regulates and maintains the relaxed, cooperative relationship between residents. Laissez-faire living on the lake is a top priority.
We connect the many commercial units in the basements with prospective tenants or develop creative use ideas. Demand is enormous, and not just for vacation apartments. Storage for stand-up paddleboards, boating schools and rentals, laundries, and, of course, bistros, cafés, restaurants, and bars are all needed.
Dreamy evenings on your own roof terrace, cozy days of peace in the cooler seasons, family celebrations in the small squares, or a cocktail on the stairs or in the alleys. Whether indoors or outdoors, summer or winter - you should always feel at home.
DEVELOPER. OPERATORS. PIONEERS.
We, Blauwasser GmbH, emerged from the merger of Blausee, the owner of the entire open-cast mining area of Lake Hainer See, and the companies from Lake Cospuden and Lake Kulkwitz. Since 2006, two large development areas have been developed on the lakeshore – unique in Germany. Obtaining building permits on and even in the water was one of the major challenges and is now a key success factor.
The upswing was not long in coming. With its development areas on Lake Hainer See, the municipality of Neukieritzsch is now a leader in urban development in the Leipzig district, also in terms of land prices, visitor numbers, and recreational value.
120 HOUSES IN 12 YEARS
Since the first holiday home on stilts in the lake, built in 2009 in the Kahnsdorf lagoon on Lake Hainer, another 12 houses, a harbor and several piers for hundreds of boats, a terraced campsite facing the lake, four beaches, and numerous parking spaces have been built in just 120 years. All of this is surrounded by a well-maintained, 15-km circular path around the lake, ideal for cycling and hiking.
75.000 overnight stays
With approximately 40 employees at our three locations, we manage over 100 holiday apartments and holiday homes, as well as 600 boat moorings, several beaches, parking lots, and numerous rented harbor buildings with restaurants, cafés, and shops. We currently achieve approximately 75.000 overnight stays per year.
Take advantage of the rare opportunity to become part of a harbor village with real sea access, a south-facing slope, and perfect connections.
We would be happy to inform you about the opportunities and risks associated with holiday apartments and commercial buildings and are available to assist you at any time with our over 20 years of experience in the construction and operation of maritime locations in Leipzig's New Lake District.
We'd be happy to manage it for you, find the tourists who will spend their best time of the year here, oversee everything, and care for your treasure on Lake Hainer. And of course, you can personally stroll through the idyllic alleys as often as you like, enjoy a glass of wine at the harbor square, and spend wonderful evenings with your guests and friends on your roof terrace.
