MT_Berlin10 Apr 2025 13:01Hello,
I hope this is the right forum for this topic.
We have found a plot of land in Eichwalde (right on the city border of Berlin) that we really like, and everything suggests that we could build a house there according to our plans.
However, the property consists of two parcels, and we only need the front one. Together, the two are too large and too expensive. The seller has communicated through the real estate agent that he would prefer to sell both parcels together. Therefore, we are looking for a building partner who wants to build their house on this auction plot.
The rear parcel is about 650sqm (7000 sq ft) plus the narrow strip. According to §34, it is buildable, and since the neighboring houses are fairly large, a relatively large house with up to 120sqm (1300 sq ft) of footprint and two full floors would likely be permitted by the building authority. It is being sold just below the local standard land value. Apparently, there are no significant restrictions (no trees that are difficult to remove, only an old weekend cottage).
Does anyone have an idea where we could find someone? We have already reached out to acquaintances and colleagues. The real estate agent is rather unmotivated, probably because they don’t want to work too hard for a 7% commission.

Links are not allowed here, but you could mention the scout ID of the property listing. A cadastral excerpt would also be helpful. Has the access path to the rear plot already been subdivided, or is it intended to be established through an easement corridor?
If I understand correctly, the houses could be detached (so no semi-detached building partner is being sought), and you want to reserve the front part for yourselves?

Gerddieter10 Apr 2025 15:18I’m afraid that if it is a “must-have” plot of land, the only option is to buy both and then sell one afterwards. I would recommend this anyway, as it gives you the choice of who will be your neighbor.
Also reconsider Eichwalde and simultaneously continue looking for alternative options.
I have acquaintances living nearby, and the whole area has become heavily overpopulated since the 2010s and still hasn’t caught up with the necessary infrastructure. So if you have children – kindergartens and schools are completely overloaded. For adults, there is also a shortage of doctors and other services. The suburban train service (S-Bahn) is frequently interrupted due to construction work, with Eichwalde often being the last station served, if you’re lucky.

This concerns the plot of land: 155004789.
It is parcel 351 on the map. We would need a collaborator for parcel 352. The plan, as already suggested by @11ant, is to build detached houses. This is not an absolute must, and we would prefer not to buy the entire parcel outright, as this would complicate the financial planning for the house. Although it is possible, there are other plots available in this price range.
