The Klauberhof was planned by Manfred Wolff-Plottegg in 2004 and built in 2005. It contains 13 residential units ranging from 55 to 80 m². The plans aimed to restore the cubature of the former horse stable, which was demolished in the early 1970s. To the north, the sandstone cladding gives the building a rather austere appearance, while to the south the facade is opened up through generously sized balconies. The narrow east/west floor plan allows the rooms to be lit from both sides.
The Glycinienhof was designed in 2002 by architect Wolff-Plottegg in collaboration with West 8, which also developed a greening plan consisting of 183 wisteria vines. Planted at a distance of two to three meters from the outer facade, they form a second, green facade. Underlying its austere form is the idea of allowing the earthen wall delimiting the castle park in the north and east to continue into the residential area.
The Glycinienhof currently consists of furnished apartments; a restaurant designed by the architect Irmgard Frank was previously operated in the northern part of the building and is currently available for rent.
The Malerhof, built in 1860, was used as a barn until the 1880s. Three apartments were created in its the southern section during the interwar period; their modernization was planned by architect Cristina Conrad-Eybesfeld in 1996. The concept called for a very careful handling of the existing structure.
The barn doors and the ventilation openings were retained.
In 2006, architect Wolff-Plottegg designed an attic conversion and expansion. With a commitment to contemporary architecture, he overrode the harmony of the building and created a contrast between the two construction stages by largely opening up the attic to toward the west. For the windows, he recreated the window grills of the castle building in a stylized form.

The Meierhof, dating from the 18th century, is a four-sided farm building arranged around a central courtyard; it was originally built as a cowshed, horse stable, and pigsty. Around 1850, one wing was demolished and partially replaced with the “Meierhaus,” the house of the steward. Around 2000 the buildings were converted and renovated.

The property was acquired in 2010 and subsequently renovated.
The Hermannhof, a former inn for the well-to-do with attached stables, was acquired in 1991. It is located just outside Groß Sankt Florian in the district of Petzelsdorf. The mansion-like main house and outbuilding were completely rebuilt. It now comprises twenty apartments ranging from 45 to 100 m². Nearly all of the apartments feature a terrace or balcony.

This former baroque tannery is located on the banks of Gamlitzbach, near the center of Ehrenhausen. The house at Bahnhofstrasse 6 was acquired in 1989 and extensively renovated. In 2013, the neighboring house, Bahnhofstrasse 5, was acquired and completely renovated. They currently comprise eight apartments with rentable areas ranging from 30 to 100 m².
This house served as a home for workers employed in the construction of the power plant in Lebring. It was acquired in 2008 and subsequently renovated. Architect: Max Stoisser
This property was acquired and renovated in 1989.
The property is located in the center of Lebring, a ten-minute walk from the train station. The location is level, quiet, and sunny, with an area of 2,848 m². The plans call for the construction of 20 subsidized housing units (redevelopment funding) ranging from 45 to 80 m². Four of these will be incorporated into the existing baroque house and sixteen will be newly built. The architectural planning was entrusted to architect Riess .
The property is located in the center of Wildon, 100 meters from the main square and a five-minute walk from the train station. In addition to the nine existing apartments, 21 additional subsidized apartments are to be built as part of this project. The architectural firm Air Architecture was commissioned with the planning. The residential units will range from 45 to 70 m².
This property is located in the center of Leibnitz, 100 meters from the main square. It is a narrow, rectangular property with a total area of 974 m². A street-side block with five apartments and a courtyard block with eight apartments are to be built here. The plans were developed by architect Stoisser .
Until the turn of the millennium, agriculture and forestry were the primary sources of income for the Eybesfeld Estate. With Austria’s accession to the European Union and the opening of the Eastern Bloc, a decline in the profitability of small farms was anticipated. With 50 hectares in cultivation, the estate was among those affected.
In an effort to diversify and develop a new financial mainstay, the estate began to plan and construct real estate projects in the late 1980s. At that time, the province of Styria began subsidizing the “comprehensive renovation” of buildings of culturally value. Falling interest rates made such projects attractive.
The first project, carried out in 1988, was the development of the Meierhaus and part of the Malerhof, both parts of the Eybesfeld Estate. Seven apartments were built. The risk was high, as there were no rental apartments in the countryside at that time. Today, the estate management owns 156 apartments in six locations.
The Eybesfeld Estate is one of the largest private landlords in southern Styria, with a total of 157 apartments, stores, and offices. It has been family-owned since 1851 and has specialized in developing and renting its own apartments since 1990.
