Attractive building land plot with 700 m2 in a quiet residential area
Located on Mühlackerstrasse in Balgach, nestled in a grown residential quarter with well-maintained single-family homes and lovingly designed gardens, awaits an undeveloped building land plot of 700 m2. The flat, clearly cut plot of land is situated on a quiet neighborhood street, is fully developed and can be built according to your ideas. From here, you can see the width of the Rhine Valley. Over the roofs of the neighboring houses, the mountain silhouette stands out, and on the other side, the wooded slopes and vineyards of Balgach rise gently. A place where you can immediately imagine your own home.
The plot is located in the two-story residential zone W2a with a utilization factor of 0.45. Two full floors, a building height of up to 7.5 meters, a ridge height of up to 11 meters, and a building length of up to 30 meters provide a clear framework that still allows for a lot of design freedom. This is the special strength of this property: it is equally suitable for a single-family home and a multi-family home, and thus for two completely different projects.
For investors and project developers, the plot also offers convincing prerequisites. A feasibility study by a St. Gallen architectural firm already shows a two-story multi-family house with four 3-room apartments, each with approximately 70 m2 of living space. Each apartment has an open living and dining area, two rooms, a bathroom, and its own south-facing balcony. In the basement, there are cellar compartments, a laundry room, and a spacious hobby room, a separate outbuilding provides space for bicycles and garden equipment, and four outdoor parking spaces complete the concept. The study provides for earth heat for heating, and a photovoltaic system on the roof is also planned. Compact, well-cut 3.5-room apartments of this size appeal to couples, small families, and people in the second half of their lives, whether for rent or in condominium ownership. The study thus provides a well-founded basis for decision-making and at the same time leaves room for an individual touch.
Balgach has around 5,100 inhabitants and is located at the foot of the western valley slope in the St. Gallen Rhine Valley, between Au and Rebstein. The municipality combines a village character with a complete infrastructure: primary school, shopping facilities, service providers, and clubs can be found in the village, the Heerbrugg train station with connections to St. Gallen and Chur, as well as bus connections to Heerbrugg and Altstätten, are nearby, and the A13 motorway can be reached in a few minutes by car. With internationally active companies in the Heerbrugg area, the region is also a sought-after workplace that enables short commutes. A significant argument is also the tax burden: with a tax rate of 61 percent, Balgach is the most tax-friendly municipality in the entire canton of St. Gallen. In leisure time, the Rhine Valley shows its most beautiful side. Hiking trails lead through the Balgach vineyards with the famous red vine hut, bike routes along the Rhine invite you to extended tours, and the Appenzellerland with its hiking trails can be reached just as quickly as Lake Constance.
Whether it's your own single-family home or a rent-oriented multi-family home: this building land plot is aimed at builders who want to design their home from the start, as well as investors who want to create sustainable living space in the most tax-friendly municipality in the canton.
Those looking for a well-dimensioned, developed plot of land in a quiet and at the same time excellently connected location will find the ideal starting point for their construction project on Mühlackerstrasse in Balgach.
