House for sale 6+1 • 230 m² without real estate, Hesse

The building boasts an extraordinary layout and creates a unique sense of space as soon as you step inside.

On the northern and eastern sides of the building, primarily secondary rooms are arranged, while on the southern and western sides the living, dining, and kitchen areas as well as the bathroom are located with generous, full-height glazing.

The building features a living room, dining room, kitchen, two corridors, a staircase, a bedroom, a dressing room, two children’s rooms, an office/hobby room, two storage rooms, a technical room, an outdoor sauna, a garden shower, and three staggered terrace levels.

It was constructed using solid construction methods with calcium silicate brick masonry and concrete foundations and ceilings, and is clad with a continuous thermal insulation composite system complemented by modern facade panels with wooden elements. Of course, only high-quality materials were used throughout the building – from built-in components to surfaces and sanitary fixtures.

It comprises a total of five offset levels with different uses and features a centrally located half-staircase in the middle of the building. The floor plan is very open yet still creates entirely separate areas.

Areas and Sizes

The total floor area of the building is approximately 280 m². This is divided into a 60 m² living/dining/kitchen area, 47 m² of sleeping areas and bathrooms, 73 m² of additional rooms, 51 m² of cellar and ancillary rooms, and 50 m² of terrace area (assumed at 50%), spread across three offset levels.

Exterior Area

Surrounded by plenty of greenery (bamboo) around the three terrace levels and their approximately 100 m² total area, the property also offers a garden sauna, outdoor shower, space for a fire pit, etc. In addition, there are 2 parking spaces (including a wallbox) and a small storage shed for pellets or other equipment. Directly in front of the sauna is an infinity pool setup including a mobile, walkable cover plus a technical area, as well as an additional storage room for equipment.

The property is located in the new development area of Ballersbach in an extremely quiet cul-de-sac. Approximately 50 meters away, there is a large, contiguous forest area.

The plot itself measures 660 m² and is accessible from both the eastern and northern sides via a paved public area.

Ballersbach belongs to the municipality of Mittenaar, which is 3 km away. The town of Herborn, with its beautiful old town, is only about 7 km away (roughly a 10-minute drive), and the municipality of Sinn is 5 km away (about a 5-minute drive). Additionally, the A45 (north/south axis) is approximately 7 km away.

Within the village itself, there is a butcher and a small grocery store. In all the surrounding towns and municipalities, there are numerous shopping opportunities, daycares, swimming pools, and more.

Technology/Equipment

The house is equipped with technology at the highest level:

• KNX – Loxone bus system, which can be automated on request and additionally controlled via smartphone, tablet, etc.

• Loxone server (no cloud hosting).

• Intelligent roller shutter and blind control, including an integrated weather station.

• Motorized entrance door.

• Complete network infrastructure, with multiple network cables in some rooms.

• Magnetic/wireless contacts on all windows and doors (prepared for external envelope monitoring) for the alarm system, which can be activated at any time.

• Energy flow monitor providing an overview of the largest energy consumers and visualizing the energy flow throughout the entire building.

• Energy management system (for the seamless distribution of surplus PV energy).

• 11 kW wallbox (with a second 11 kW unit prepared, registered, and approved).

• State-of-the-art LED technology, partially in RGBW.

• A 25 kW PV system with a 30 kW battery (expandable up to a total of 80 kW); in the event of a power outage, the system switches seamlessly to backup mode, and is capable of powering the entire building off-grid on a permanent basis.

• Water-based concrete core activation (similar to underfloor heating).

• Water-based pellet stove of 10 kW, operating at 20% air and 80% water.

• KWL – controlled residential ventilation with heat recovery and a 35-meter geothermal heat exchanger.

All windows and doors are triple-glazed, the entrance door meets Passive House standards, and there are fully glazed facades facing south and west (from floor almost to ceiling), with external shutters providing sun protection.

Notably, the building’s primary energy requirement is very low at 8.2 kWh/m². This is achieved thanks to the very large 25 kW PV system combined with a 30 kW battery. On an annual basis—and depending on the duration of sunshine—the energy balance typically shows a surplus, meaning there are no energy costs for heating and hot water. The sale of surplus electricity largely covers the pellet costs.
