Flat to rent 6+1 • 290 m² without real estate, Baden-Württemberg

Living as if in your own home: A spacious maisonette apartment with a generous garden area, garage, and parking space.

This estate, created by an architect for himself and his family, clearly stands out from the usual uniformity thanks to its idiosyncratic yet masterfully executed architecture. Beneath a magnificent gabled roof visually divided into two halves by a continuous band of glass, you’ll discover a living environment whose atmosphere captivates everyone.

Built in 1978/79 on a 1,006 m² plot, the architectural concept is based on a wooden post-and-beam structure, with the laminated wood beams deliberately left visible throughout the house. Wherever possible, bioclimatic building materials were used across the entire home. The high standards of the architecture are carried through in the fittings, which will satisfy even the most discerning tastes. Among the many details, the following are noteworthy:

Travertine flooring throughout the ground floor (with underfloor heating) as well as in the basement. An open fireplace made of sandstone, bathrooms partially finished with Carrara marble and featuring built-in furniture, a high-quality built-in kitchen by Plana equipped with all electrical appliances, numerous custom-built furnishings, Hewi fittings on the doors, etc. In the outdoor area: several terraces, a private outdoor whirlpool, and an exquisitely designed garden featuring valuable ornamental shrubs and a large wetland biotope, crossed by a footbridge. All these areas are completely private from the outside.

On the south side of the roof, there is a solar installation with a capacity of 10 kWp; hot water and heating for the building are provided by a heat pump operating with geothermal loops. As a result, the costs for heating and hot water are below €100 per month, with total ancillary costs of about €1 per m²!

Only 12 km in a straight line from Stuttgart’s Schlossplatz, the municipality of Aichwald is situated on a hill above the Remstal at an altitude of 470 meters. In recent years, Aichwald has developed into an exclusive residential area. The proximity to the big city and the opportunity to live in nature—an invaluable asset in our time—come together ideally here:

The house is surrounded by fields, orchards, forests, and vineyards, with a large equestrian stable only 800 m away. Yet Stuttgart and the nearby district towns of Esslingen and Waiblingen are quickly accessible. There are excellent bus connections to all kindergartens and schools up to high school, and a suburban railway station can be found both in Esslingen and in Weinstadt-Endersbach.

Connected to the main apartment is a bedroom/fireplace room featuring an open sandstone fireplace (linked to the ground floor via a gallery) measuring 60 m², and a window wall with access to the west terrace (DIN 1/4) of 3.0 m², complete with an outdoor whirlpool. The main bathroom/wellness area (with Carrara marble flooring and full-height tiled ceilings) covers 25.6 m² and is equipped with a Klaf sauna, a walk-in shower (1.4 m x 1.2 m) featuring a Grohe shower column, and a granite washbasin (170 x 76 cm) with two sinks, a base cabinet, and two side cabinets.

On the ground floor, there is an open kitchen with a dining area (49 m², separable by a sliding door), a living room (48 m²), and a piano room (15.3 m², also separable by a sliding door), a utility room (10.8 m²), a utility terrace (DIN 1/4, 3.0 m²), an entrance hall/wardrobe area (13.0 m²), one room of 16.3 m², another room of 16.6 m², a hallway (2.3 m²), a small bathroom (4.4 m²), a conservatory (20 m²), a guest WC (1.5 m²), and a terrace (56 m²).
