Perl, Saarland, Germany (TK, 2023) - The Gestüt Peterhof stud farm is one of the most beautiful equestrian estates in the world. This 30 hectare property is located in the picturesque village of Perl-Borg on the Upper Moselle, a prime location in the border triangle of Germany, Luxembourg and France.
A haven for horses and riders, Gestüt Peterhof is an internationally renowned dressage stable that has hosted four FEI (International Equestrian Federation) tournaments and the Olympic qualifying events for the Rio 2016 Summer Games de Janeiro.
The equestrian complex can accommodate up to 40 horses, and planning permission has been granted to double this capacity.

The price of Gestüt Peterhof is offered on request by Unicorn Real Estate. Fernand Hornung, director and founder, said: "There are equestrian estates, and then there is Gestüt Peterhof. The facilities for horses and riders are simply second to none, whether it is the dressage arenas approved by the FEI, the magnificent clubhouse or the state-of-the-art equine training and rehabilitation complex. It is an oasis of well-being in picturesque surroundings, grandiosely designed and lovingly maintained by its owners according to rigorous standards.
The property was built in 2011 by Arlette Jasper-Kohl, top dressage rider, interior designer and founder of VA-TOUT Design Studio, and Professor Edwin Kohl, founder and owner of the world's largest pharmaceutical importer.

From an aesthetic and functional point of view, the site also aligns with our sensitivity goals environmental, sustainability, energy efficiency and social responsibility in daily operations," said Ms. Jasper-Kohl.
Professor Kohl added: "We sought to optimally combine equestrian functionality, architectural magnificence and the unique beauty of the location. The result is a paradise for equines and humans."

The entrance, with its ascending avenue of trees, leads to a Mediterranean-inspired piazza surrounded by a group of buildings. In the center is a beautiful stone fountain.
