House for sale • 400 m² without real estateVogelsbergstrasse, 48, , Hesse

Here is the English translation of the text:

The property includes, in addition to the residential building from 1900, another house from 1980 as well as a barn that adjoins the old building so closely that the house is heated from two sides. The former stables form the “foundation” of the new building and frame the rear, wind-protected inner courtyard. Three garages as well as three carport parking spaces are located in front of the house and offer ample space for both the residents’ and visitors’ vehicles.

Due to its unobtrusive location in a second row on a dead-end street, there is no through or other traffic to worry about, so children can play in the front courtyard without concern.

In the garden, three further garage-like structures offer enough space to store tools or/and patio furniture, etc.

A small grill hut, the conservatory, and the fire pit create a cozy atmosphere and invite you to celebrate and linger.

A staircase from the garden leads to a small mezzanine with a terrace area. There you can enjoy the first sunrays with a view of the garden. This mezzanine is bordered by beds arranged in a long, narrow fashion.

THE ROOMS:

1. The rooms of the old building:

The old building spans the basement, the ground floor as well as the first and second floors.

On the ground floor you will find the entrance area, the living room, and a large fitted kitchen. From the kitchen, you can access the rear, paved inner courtyard, which is wind-protected, sunny, and private. The raised beds here again offer the opportunity to grow plants. There is ample space for seating and various potted plants.

Furthermore, on the ground floor there is a bathroom with a separate toilet. This bathroom is currently used as a laundry room. It offers space for two washing machines and two dryers. Next to it, there is also a storage room with plenty of storage space.

On the first floor, there is another toilet, two additional (bedroom/children’s) rooms as well as a passage room, currently used as a walk-in “closet.”

On the second floor there is another very spacious bathroom, a bedroom, and a further smaller storage room.

There is also an attic here, which the chimney sweep visits occasionally to clean the chimney that essentially heats the entire old building, should one choose not to use the oil heating.

The basement of the old building is dry and equipped with various shelves and also offers plenty of space.

2. The rooms of the new building:

The new building can be reached either through a separate external entrance or through lockable doors from the old building. This means that the two buildings can also be used separately.

Through the hallway, you enter a study equipped with fitted wardrobes and a view of the garden. In addition, there is a large room with direct access to the terrace and garden.

On the first floor, there is a 90m² separate apartment with a fitted kitchen, living and bedroom, as well as a bathroom and two toilets. On the second floor there are four additional guest rooms, each with its own bathroom. Again, there is an attic here.

In the new building’s ground-floor basement you will find the heating system, the sauna and the conservatory as well as the garden itself.

THE GARDEN:

It covers an area of nearly 1,000 m² and is completely fenced. A small creek borders the property and provides a pleasant, cool breeze in the summer. With the help of the already available greenhouse, you can immediately dive into gardening and grow your own organic vegetables!

The small, tranquil village of “Helpershain” is quietly and peacefully nestled in an idyllic setting in the midst of nature. The landscape invites you to linger and enjoy. Expansive fields, lush flower meadows, and small woodlands allow for extensive walks with breathtaking distant views in the immediate vicinity.

All four seasons can be experienced impressively and up close! The summers are characterized by a colorful plant and diverse animal world. Autumn offers spectacular colorings and in winter a winter wonderland atmosphere prevails with the possibility of starting winter sports right at your doorstep. Alternatively, you can head to Hoherodskopf (20 minutes) or Bilstein (20 minutes).

The nearest grocery store with a bakery and butcher can be found 4 km away in Ulrichstein. In Kestrich (6 km) there is a Tegut. Larger towns in the area are Lauterbach, Alsfeld, or Schotten, all located about a 20-minute drive away.

In the village itself there is an organic milk producer, egg-laying hens on every corner, and a very helpful community! The local sports club offers various courses for children and adults as well as other excursions and events.

The house itself is in good condition, with “normal” fittings. Some bathrooms have been renovated, others have not. The two fitted kitchens show signs of age, but are fully functional and attractive. The newly laid flooring and freshly painted walls are substantially flawless. Of course, it is an old house, so maintenance work occasionally needs to be carried out. All in all, however, one can move in and live right away. Any changes that are made are of personal taste and do not need to be carried out because the house is in need of renovation.

The reason for selling the house is that we will be emigrating. We have decided to live in a warm country and tear down all bridges to Germany. Since we have time to implement our new life goal, there is absolutely no pressure for us to sell the house.
