House for sale 5+1 • 116 m² without real estate, Lower Saxony

Here is the English translation of the text:

Those who wish to live close to nature without forgoing modern comfort will find a truly special home in this lovingly modernized semi-detached house. Built in 1996, this fachwerk (timber-framed) house combines the cozy charm of exposed wooden beams with high-quality, contemporary features and an exceptionally quiet location directly on the Otterberg.

With approximately 116 m² of living space, complemented by a fully usable attic and a dry full basement offering numerous possibilities, the property provides significantly more space than its living area alone might suggest.

Upon entering the house, the open design of the ground floor—with an impressive ceiling height of around 2.90 meters, exposed wooden beams, and white country-style interior doors—immediately creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The spacious living and dining area forms the heart of the home. High-quality oak parquet flooring, underfloor heating installed in 2021, and a fireplace added in 2023 provide a cozy living experience in every season. The separate country kitchen was completely renewed in 2021 and equipped with modern appliances. Also on this level are a modernized guest WC, a cloakroom, and a utility room renewed in 2024 with plenty of storage space.

Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms as well as a daylit bathroom completely modernized in 2021 with underfloor heating. High-quality oak parquet flooring in the bedrooms and hallway further enhances the homey atmosphere.

A particular highlight is the attic, finished in 2020. With a room height of around 2.50 meters, two large Velux roof windows with electric roller shutters, oak parquet flooring, and a walk-in wardrobe, this area is ideal for use as a home office, guest room, or additional bedroom.

The fully dry full basement also offers exceptionally spacious, versatile rooms. In addition to a storage room, a utility room, and the boiler room with workshop area, there is a roughly 25 m² large play or hobby room and another office of about 10 m².

The approximately 574 m² plot is landscaped in a low-maintenance manner and invites you to relax. The south-facing terrace was completely renewed and expanded in 2024. From here, you can enjoy an unobstructed view of the adjacent horse paddocks – a view that brings a daily sense of vacation.

Another advantage: directly adjacent is a leasehold plot of approximately 400 m², which can be taken over for a modest annual lease fee and opens up additional possibilities for use and design.

For horse enthusiasts, this property offers a rare opportunity. Just behind the property are several horse paddocks with open stables, so that horses can be kept within sight of your own home. Of course, the accommodation options depend on the lessors and available spots. The immediately adjacent Otterberg and the extensive paths of the Lüneburg Heath provide ideal conditions for relaxed rides, walks, and a nature-oriented lifestyle.

The idyllic community of Otter in the Lower Saxon district of Harburg is part of the collective municipality of Tostedt and combines rural tranquility with an excellent connection to the Hamburg metropolitan region. Nestled within the gently rolling landscape of the Lüneburg Heath, the area offers a high quality of life for those who wish to live close to nature without having to forgo good infrastructure.

The house is set amidst extensive horse paddocks directly on the Otterberg and thus enjoys an exceptionally quiet, nature-friendly location. The unobstructed view over meadows and pastures, as well as the immediate proximity to nature, give the property a special charm and create an atmosphere that provides both relaxation and privacy.

In the immediate vicinity, attractive nature reserves such as the Ottermoor and the Otterheide invite you to take long walks, hikes, or bike rides.

The center of Tostedt is only about 6 kilometers away and offers comprehensive infrastructure with supermarkets, specialty stores, doctors, pharmacies, banks, and numerous dining options. In the community of Otter there is a primary school; secondary schools such as a grammar school, a comprehensive school, and a secondary modern school are located in Tostedt and can easily be reached by school bus.

Transportation is also impressive: a bus stop is only about 600 meters away and is served several times a day by lines heading toward Tostedt. Tostedt train station can be reached by car in about 8 minutes and by bicycle in around 15 minutes. From there, the Metronom trains running between Hamburg and Bremen regularly connect both Hanseatic cities comfortably without any transfers.

Additionally, the well-developed country roads and the federal highway B75 provide quick connections to the motorways A1 and A7. The mobility offering is further enhanced by the on-call shared taxi (AST) of the collective municipality of Tostedt, which can bring passengers flexibly right to their door.

The region offers a high recreational and leisure value. Whether it’s equestrian sports, cycling, or long walks in the heath landscape—the possibilities begin right at your doorstep. Popular excursion destinations such as the Ehrhorn Forest Experience, the Borstel Switzerland, or numerous other local recreation areas are reachable in a short time, making the location particularly attractive.
