House for sale 6+1 • 280 m² without real estate, Hesse

Here is the English translation:

The historic Hofreite, which beautifully displays its timber-framed heart, is situated on a 379 m² plot of land. It consists of an extensively renovated residential building and an adjacent barn that has also been meticulously converted and is classified as living space.

This exceptional ensemble impresses with its excellent location in an idyllic spot in the heart of Rodenbach and its historic charm. It is a standalone cultural monument and is under heritage protection. The property is located at the end of a cul-de-sac, ensuring no through traffic and guaranteeing peace and quiet.

The approximately 280 m² of living space is comprised as follows: approximately 138.20 m² of living area in the main building, plus around 47.60 m² of utility area in the annex (the former stable), and about 140.70 m² of living space in the barn, which was expanded in 2022 and is officially designated as living space.

The individual rooms (main building) are arranged as follows:

Ground Floor: Hallway, dining room, fireplace room, kitchen, cloakroom, a daylight guest WC, and a room for children that can serve as a study or guest room.

Upper Floor: Hallway, living room, children’s bedroom, and a daylight bathroom with a bathtub.

Attic: Bedroom and a small open gallery.

Directly in front of the house is the courtyard of approximately 130 m², which provides access to the barn. To the right of the residence, about the front of the house, lies the front garden, which boasts flowers, shrubs, and mature trees. The courtyard is completely enclosed and not visible from the outside.

The property is located in Rodenbach, in the well-regarded inner-city area of Niederrodenbach. Rodenbach, situated east of Hanau, offers its residents a wide range of cultural events and attractive leisure opportunities – not least because the Hessian Spessart Nature Park, with its surrounding forest, practically lies at your doorstep. Numerous hiking and cycling paths lead from the long-established town of Rodenbach, which was first documented in 1025, into the surrounding area, inviting exploration.

Its location in the midst of an extremely charming landscape, the excellent connection to the Rhein-Main area, and the idyllic town center with its narrow lanes, picturesque corners, and half-timbered houses make this small town—with a total population of around 11,000—truly special.

All everyday shops, as well as kindergartens and schools, are located in the immediate vicinity and can be easily reached on foot. A bus stop is just a few minutes’ walk from the house, ensuring rapid access to downtown Hanau with its many shops, cultural, and leisure facilities. Likewise, within a few minutes you can reach the nearby A66 and A45 highways as well as the Hanau interchange, which provides excellent road connections by car – meaning, for example, that Frankfurt Airport is very quickly accessible.

The property is situated in a very attractive and established inner-city area of Niederrodenbach, within walking distance of the town center. The surroundings are characterized predominantly by older, historic buildings. The church is visible from the courtyard, although its bells are not intrusive due to their considerate ringing. From the bedroom, one can even see the famous stork’s nest on the old defense tower.

Within just a few minutes you are on the nearby A66 and A45 highways and also at the Hanau interchange, ensuring excellent road connections by car. Via the A3, Frankfurt Airport can also be reached very quickly. Hanau, Aschaffenburg, Offenbach, and Frankfurt are all easily accessible.

The Hofreite boasts many historic elements that are considered well worth preserving. The residential building features a solid, high-quality design with details such as solid wood interior doors with brass door handle sets and fired clay floor tiles on the ground floor. Underfloor heating on the ground floor, double-insulated wooden windows, an open fireplace that invites you to relax in the fireplace room, an open kitchen with a built-in country-style kitchen, a daylight guest WC, and a solid wood staircase leading to the upper floor further enhance its appeal. The upper floor offers flooring made of country-style planks in the rooms, a floor-to-ceiling glazed gable in the living room that creates a unique atmosphere, a super stylish daylight bathtub bathroom with mosaic accents, and many exposed beams and timber elements, just to name a few of the many details.

The former barn impresses with its unique open architectural style that connects spaces without walls (see pictures). The conversion of the barn is not yet completely finished.
