In the sale advertisement for a piece of Land on a slope above Herrliberg is a “unique opportunity”. 5500 square meters in a panoramic position for 35 million Swiss francs. The amount is not negotiable – unless you take the existing project for a Villa velvet glass lift through a “Pool oasis Experience”, the realization would be the cost of 19 million Swiss francs.

plots of land in this category, there are not in herrliberg many. A tennis professional Roger Federer . This bought the end of 2011, in the municipality of a parcel of land that lies fallow since then. Recently it became known that Federer is now actually on the lake of Zurich to build, but not in herrliberg, but in Kemp’s rates.

The terrain fits exactly

The real estate company that handles the sale of the property in herrliberg, does this on behalf of a lawyer and may say to the business nothing. Only that the square footage indicated in the case of such sales never exactly. Advertised 5500 square meters, with Reports of Federer’s plot, the speech was just under 5800 square meters – where a final measurement shows that this is likely to be somewhat exaggerated.

The strongest indication of the terrain profile in the sale listing, but To see a long drawn-out plot of land on a slope, which is completed on the right-hand of a small cross-cut. Exactly also the characteristic profile of the Federer looks to land on the foliage hölzl istrasse.

The comparison: The plot in the advertisement (above), and the Federer property in the geographic information system of the Canton of Zurich.

Interesting the estimated cost is. How much Federer has paid, in retrospect, due to the splendid Berger real estate capital gains tax law is a good estimate. These taxes increased just in the year of the Federer-purchase to a peak value. At that time there was, according to the cantonal statistics in herrliberg, only ten sales of vacant Land – the most expensive of them changed Hand for 3700 francs per square meter, and more.

Conservative estimate, paid by Federer for the Land in herrliberg at least 21.5 million. At such a price, payable property income taxes of 2.7 million Swiss francs correspond fairly well to the jump, the income from this tax was, at the time, in herrliberg, compared to the long-term average.

About 13 million profit?

Since then, the prices in herrliberg rose again. For a smaller neighboring property a few months ago, almost 4400 Swiss francs per square meter were required. At the now for sale plot, cheating on the price but more than 6000 francs. It should actually be Federer’s country and someone should pay the price, cheating on the profit of 13.5 million Swiss francs – the build would have been worth it so pretty.

this is also herrliberg would benefit re: plot of land income taxes of approximately 5 million. Of a Federer-sale, you know on the community so far, but nothing that a private matter. Only so much: if A valid building permit for a construction project is not up to today – not even for a Villa with a “Pool oasis Experience”.
