House for sale 7+1 • 217 m² without real estate, Schleswig-Holstein

For nature- and sports-loving families or those looking for a refuge for rest and relaxation, this exceptional property is just right.

Originally planned by the builder as a country house for a larger family, this property shines with approximately 217 m² of living space spread over 8 rooms. Enhancing its appeal are the high-quality, intricately laid veneer bricks by Wienerberger, the beautiful white cornices, and the striking front pediment in the entrance area.

The approximately 1,737 m² park-like landscaped plot—accentuated with ornamental boulders—is virtually private. It offers a lawn that invites soccer, volleyball, or badminton, and still provides plenty of room for your very own swimming pool or natural swimming pond. Additional special features include a rainwater cistern, a fully automatic irrigation system, a high-tech mowing robot, and several relaxation zones.

The highlight of the property is the access to the nearby forest and lake, just a few meters away. You enter the property through a small vestibule that conveniently doubles as a cloakroom. On the ground floor, in addition to the opulent living and dining room with a fireplace connection and a high-quality open kitchen, there is another spacious room that is perfect as a playroom or home office.

The building’s technical area is also very well planned. In addition to a backup kitchen, the utility area—complete with a technical room and a separate entrance in the utility room—houses the drinking water treatment system. There is also a guest WC on the ground floor.

Recently, a fully shaded conservatory of approximately 28 m², with glass sliding doors, was added to the living room. This addition creates an extensive garden atmosphere and allows for relaxed summer evenings with family and friends. Together with the generous open kitchen and the living-dining area, it provides ample space for convivial evenings with a large circle of friends.

High-quality floor coverings such as terracotta tiles and oak wood flooring complete the ground floor’s appearance, while underfloor heating throughout the house ensures cozy warmth.

A staircase crafted from ash wood leads to the upper floor. Ingeniously designed, it can be extended into the attic, which offers approximately 40 m² of potential additional living space.

The upper floor features a large master bedroom with an en suite bathroom, three nearly equally sized children’s rooms that share a common full bathroom, and an additional room used as a home office.

In terms of energy, the property is state-of-the-art. In 2023, a modern air-source heat pump was installed which, supported by a PV system of 12.16 kWp, ensures minimal energy consumption. Additionally, the walls are built of expanded clay in combination with approximately 180 mm of external insulation and triple-glazed windows, achieving excellent insulation values. To keep the heat inside the house, a decentralized ventilation system with heat recovery was also installed. The energy certificate issued in October 2023 impressively demonstrates the property’s energy performance.

A double carport with a charging station for electric cars, as well as two additional parking spaces, are also included with this property.
