House for sale • 195 m² without real estate, North Rhine-Westphalia

Below is the English translation of the text marked with the tag:

In this exceptionally large detached house, completed in 1994, you will find an exclusive and characterful retreat offering abundant privacy.

The property is in excellent condition. Generous windows and rare, full-of-character materials create a unique living experience.

The substantial garage building, together with the main house and separated by a wall, forms a completely secluded courtyard. Parts of the courtyard are covered by a large, modern glass roof supported by stainless steel columns resting on only two points. On the street side, the courtyard is fenced with stainless steel.

Upon entering the house, the hand-made floor tiles immediately catch the eye. They were produced using a method over 500 years old, developed in the 14th century in North Africa and Spain. After being sun-dried, the tiles were fired in ovens in the field. These tiles are laid on both the ground floor and the upper floor.

Discreetly placed wall niches with sealed old bricks further enhance the character of the house, creating an atmosphere of well-being.

The open-plan living and dining area, into which the kitchen could be easily integrated, is flooded with light. A very large soapstone stove, positioned almost at the center of the house, radiates cosy warmth during winter. Adjacent to it is the integrated conservatory, which spans two floors.

On the upper floor, depending on the layout, there are 2–3 bedrooms. Currently, two bedrooms have been combined into one large sleeping area. An additional bedroom, a very spacious bathroom, and the space leading into the conservatory complete the upper floor at this time.

The attic above is accessible via an open, space-saving staircase. There, you will find two storage rooms with carpeted floors (in the sloping roof area!) and the heating system.

The basement extends over the entire footprint of the house and, except for one room located beneath the conservatory, has been finished to full living space height. It is divided into 4 rooms, 1 complete bathroom, one large hallway, and a large utility room. The basement is uniformly tiled throughout.

The house features large windows on every level. On the ground floor, there is the previously mentioned fully glazed conservatory, nine floor-to-ceiling windows, and five standard windows. The upper floor, with 6 floor-to-ceiling and 2 standard windows, is additionally brightened by the conservatory, which connects the ground and upper floors through a large open space. Naturally, every room in the basement is equipped with a window – in total, 7 windows with a basement shaft and 2 windows with a recessed planter.

In addition to the house, the property includes a large garage building with 3 parking spaces and a forecourt.

The key features are:

• 3-car garage with tiling, complete with an attic and stairs

• Continuous water supply, heated

• Walls made of 20 cm aerated concrete

• Interior ceiling made of concrete for increased load-bearing capacity

• In-between rafter insulation

The property is located in a quiet residential area within a pleasant, established neighborhood in the municipality of Hille – the Hartum district. Here, you benefit from excellent infrastructure: shops, a kindergarten, and a bus stop are within walking distance. Doctors, pharmacies, hairdressers, and schools can all be found nearby.

A natural swimming pool with very good water quality is also reachable by bicycle.

The surroundings are characterized by abundant green spaces and forests – making it ideal for various outdoor activities.

The center of Minden, with its charming historic core, is only a few minutes away by car.

The combination of excellent transport connections, a family-friendly environment, and proximity to Minden’s city center makes this location an ideal residential spot for those seeking to combine urban comfort with peaceful living.

Thanks to nearby federal highways as well as the A2 and A30, the cities of Hanover, Bielefeld, and Osnabrück can be reached quickly.

The house is completed by a truly unique and entirely self-contained garden with various highlights:

• An infinity pool approximately 10 m x 4 m in size with a swimming area depth of 1.4 m. It is entirely made of V4A stainless steel. The staircase extends the full width, and the last step, measuring 1 m x 4 m, serves as a shallow water area (20 cm deep) that is ideal as a playground for children or simply a place to relax.

A piece built to last for eternity. Naturally, it comes with an extensive filtration system and automated monitoring of both chlorine and pH levels. The pool is heated via a heat pump and can be used from February to November!

The pool stands freely in 1.4 m deep water on a concrete slab, under which there is perimeter insulation.

• Two glass canopies next to the conservatory, constructed in stainless steel, provide protection in inclement weather.

• A total of 200 m² of Bangkirai decking arranged on multiple levels offers various secluded spots in the garden. Among these is a circular terrace surrounded by a wall made of granite and old sealed bricks, similar to those used in the house.

• Several large sun umbrellas are positioned throughout the garden, inviting you to linger in comfort.

• The garden is finished off by Bangkirai fence elements combined with stainless steel perforated panels on one side, and gabions filled with very interesting stones on the other. This mixture guarantees an additional, intriguing contrast. Everything is naturally illuminated, complemented by a complete wiring system and, to enhance the ambience, 4 Bose outdoor speakers with their own amplifier and a Bluetooth box.

• An internal domestic water supply, established via a professionally drilled well (complete with drilling protocol), rounds off the overall impression.

Finally, a few more details worth mentioning:

• Basement wall: 36 cm aerated concrete

• House wall: 30 cm aerated concrete

• Underfloor heating on the ground and upper floors

• New Viessmann gas heating system installed in 02/2026

Altogether, this is an energetically well-equipped modern family home.

Comprehensive construction documents and drawings are, of course, fully available.

Since the entire property according to the land register consists of two plots (the main plot and a 3 m wide side strip), the side strip can remain in our possession. However, this implies changes in the garden design.

At present, the house is still occupied by us, as our new residence is not yet finished.

We can vacate the main house at the end of the 3rd, or at the latest in the 4th quarter.

Should there be reasons for an earlier handover, we can also arrange this in mutual agreement with the buyer.

The sale is made without a broker, so no fees will be incurred.
