The property is located in Rodenbach, in the popular inner-city area of Niederrodenbach. Rodenbach, which lies east of Hanau, offers its inhabitants a wide range of cultural activities and attractive leisure opportunities, not least because the Hessian Spessart Nature Park is virtually at your doorstep, thanks to the surrounding forest. Numerous hiking and cycling paths lead from the long-established village of Rodenbach, which was first documented in 1025, into the surrounding area, inviting exploration.

The location, set amidst an extremely charming landscape, with good connections to the Rhine-Main region, as well as the idyllic village center with its narrow lanes, picturesque corners, and half-timbered houses, make this small town, with a population of approximately 11,000, truly special.

All daily amenities, as well as kindergartens and schools, are located in the immediate vicinity and can easily be reached on foot. A bus stop is just a few minutes’ walk from the house, ensuring quick access to downtown Hanau with its numerous shops, cultural events, and leisure activities. Likewise, you are just minutes away from the nearby motorways A66 and A45 and the Hanau interchange, which provide excellent road connections. For example, Frankfurt Airport can be reached very quickly.

In a very attractive and well-established inner-city location of Niederrodenbach and within walking distance of the town center, the property is set in an environment characterized predominantly by older and historic buildings. The church can be seen from the inner courtyard, and while the bells are audible they do not disturb due to their humane operation. From the bedroom, one can even see the well-known stork’s nest on the old defensive tower.

Within minutes, you are on the nearby motorways A66 and A45 and at the Hanau interchange, ensuring excellent road connections. Via the A3, Frankfurt Airport is also reached very quickly. Hanau, Aschaffenburg, Offenbach, and Frankfurt are all very easily accessible.

The Hofreite features many historic elements that are considered worth preserving. The residential building boasts a solid and high-quality finish, such as solid wood interior doors with brass fittings, fired clay tiles on the ground floor, underfloor heating on the ground floor, double-glazed wooden windows, an open fireplace that invites relaxation in the fireplace room, and an open kitchen with a country-style fitted kitchen. There is also a daylight guest WC, a solid wood staircase leading to the upper floor, country-style plank flooring in the rooms on the upper floor, and a floor-to-ceiling glazed gable in the living room that creates a unique atmosphere, as well as a super stylish daylight bathroom with mosaic accents on the upper floor and many exposed beams and timber framework elements, to name just a few of the many details.

The former barn impresses with its unique open construction style, where the rooms flow together without walls. (See pictures.) The conversion of the barn is not yet completely finished.
