House to rent 6+kk • 140 m² without real estate, Hesse

Solid house on a hillside (south slope) with an inviting garden, large terrace, balcony, spacious double garage with an ancillary room (new electric sectional doors from 2025), photovoltaic system with battery storage, well-maintained condition with tiled and vinyl floors, bathroom from 2021 with underfloor heating, kitchen from 2022 with underfloor heating, and otherwise infrared heaters – that is, free from fossil fuels.

In the living room, a soapstone stove provides cozy winter days.

Heating is provided by electricity and, apart from the bathroom and kitchen, by infrared wall heaters. The highest heating energy consumption to date has been around 7,300 kWh. Even at 10,000 kWh, the energy consumption for 140 m² would be only about 70 kWh/m², corresponding to efficiency class B. The income from feeding electricity into the grid via the photovoltaic system helps reduce electricity costs.

A cable connection is available with a current maximum internet speed of 1 GB. A fiber optic connection by Telekom is planned and has the status “initiated.”

Heppenheim is one of the most desirable cities in Germany, and the Bergstraße region is a recreational area. The property is located on the edge of town; the city bus stop is a 2-minute walk away, the train station within a 20-minute walk, and the pedestrian zone as well as the old town just minutes away. The Odenwald begins directly opposite.
