Commercial property for sale • 5200 m² without real estateEngerstr. 161, , North Rhine-Westphalia

Below is the English translation of the text enclosed by the tag:

Very large and versatile residential and commercial property with hall and storage complex, office block, and historic windmill tower

IMPORTANT: The stated sale price applies including inventory and inventoried stock. WITHOUT inventory/inventoried stock (“cleared”) the sale price increases by €250,000. In that case, the handover will be delayed accordingly. Details are negotiable.

The included “inventoried stock” is not the entire current inventory but rather those items I’m no longer interested in. Items I like will be relocated – or, if the buyer is interested, they can be negotiated separately.

For sale is a property in 33824 Werther (Westphalia), district Häger (Engerstraße 161 & 161a). The overall area comprises a plot of approximately 5,202 m² and is divided into two contiguous parcels: Parcel 387 (approximately 1,054 m² residential building area) and Parcel 388 (approximately 4,168 m² industrial and commercial area). The property provides for either a strict separation or a flexible combination of private living, administration, craft, production, or logistics.

1. Commercial Area (Halls & Office):

  The commercial building offers extensive usage and storage areas:

  • Main Hall: Approximately 880 m² of base area plus roughly 80 m² of an adjoining raised roof/extension. It is equipped with a crane rail (from the production area into the paint booth), a storage floor with a shelving system, heavy-duty racks, and a seldom-used hall heating system.

  • Side Hall: Approximately 343 m² of base area.

  • Separate Office and Annex Building: Approximately 142 m² of base area (total usable area approximately 210 m², of which ca. 20 m² is a heated office, optionally a second room, with the remainder as cold storage).

  • Historic Windmill: Approximately 72 m² of base area, divided into a basement and 4 floors (a total of 5 levels) – for example, as an architectural highlight, exhibition space, or a representative corporate headquarters.

2. Residential Building (per the official appraisal, a 3-family house):

  The residential building (gross floor area approximately 277 m², not fully basemented, 2 floors) includes an integrated garage. The current floor plan shows 2 very large apartments and one 2-room apartment. By reactivating former doorways, the space can be flexibly rearranged with little effort.

3. Transparent Property Assessment & Condition:

  • Advantages: Large, ground-level maneuvering and open areas; autonomous usage of both portions; immediately operable heavy-load and crane equipment; a rare combination of residential and commercial buildings.

  • Factors to Consider: The halls and annex buildings are unconditioned cold spaces. The residential building is in need of modernization; the attic still offers undeveloped space. The historic windmill requires individual interior conversions depending on the usage concept and in general a lot of attention.

4. Energy Certificate Note:

  For the commercial halls and the annex building, according to §§ 2, 106 GEG, there is no requirement for an energy certificate (predominantly unheated usage areas). An energy certificate exists for the residential building (Parcel 387) or will be provided at the viewing.

Strategically networked within the East Westphalian motorway triangle (A2 / A30 / A33)

The property is located on Engerstraße in the district Häger of the town Werther (Westphalia). The location combines a quiet, rural environment for the residential area with outstanding logistical accessibility for commercial operations.

Regional Transport Connections:

The site lies at the center of the regional traffic network via the A33, A30, and A2:

  • A33 (Halle / Künsebeck exit): ca. 10 km / approx. 12 minutes’ drive. A fast north-south connection toward Osnabrück and Paderborn.

  • A30 (Melle-West or Bünde exits): approx. 18–24 km / about 20–25 minutes’ drive. A direct east-west axis toward Osnabrück and Bad Oeynhausen / Hannover.

  • A2 (Herford/Bad Salzuflen or Bielefeld-East exits): approx. 20–22 km / about 20–25 minutes’ drive. The most important connection to the Ruhr area and the greater Hannover/Berlin region.

Economic Area & Local Amenities:

The upper center of Bielefeld as well as the neighboring towns Halle (Westphalia), Werther, Bünde, and Herford are reachable within a few minutes by car. Basic services, schools, and specialty stores are available in the surrounding town centers. The location offers quick access for deliveries, customers, and employees without time-consuming urban bottlenecks.

Commercial Area & Hall Complex:

The hall and storage spaces provide a pragmatic basic setup for crafts, manufacturing, or warehouse logistics and are equipped with ready-to-use, operational equipment:

  • Conveying & Lifting Technology: An installed crane rail connects the production area directly with the paint booth.

  • Storage Technology: An integrated storage floor with a shelving system as well as robust heavy-duty racks for optimal space utilization.

  • Heating: An almost unused hall heating system (oil-fired) is available.

  • Delivery Access & Open Areas: Spacious, ground-level courtyard and maneuvering areas for delivery traffic and material handling.

  • Office & Annex Building: Approximately 210 m² of base area with a separate, heated office unit (approx. 20 m²) as well as separate sanitary/storage areas.

  • Historic Windmill: A structure spread over 5 floors (plus basement), which could potentially be converted into meeting, exhibition, or representative space. Or perhaps as a residence for the plant manager...? The basement, ground floor, and first floor of the former windmill alone provide a total area of around 200 m².

Residential Building:

  • Layout: Fully basemented, 2 full floors, divided into up to 3 separate living units (3-family house structure).

  • Parking: Generous on-site parking capacities.

  • Expansion Potential: Unfinished space in the attic and above that could be developed for additional usable or living area.

All information, particularly the area figures, is approximate to the best of our knowledge. Relevant areas can be measured or inspected by agreement. We have used the commercial area for storage purposes. Previously, a mechanical engineering company (specializing in storage and conveying technology) operated there. The residential property served as accommodation for construction workers from 2014 to 2024 (over 30 beds, with monthly revenues exceeding €15,000 – no typo...).

IMPORTANT: Please verify with the relevant authorities whether and to what extent planned projects are permitted – we cannot assess that. All statements are provided without guarantee. The final contract is decisive for all details.

Two essentially invaluable, very, very capable employees could possibly be recruited if there is mutual rapport. Feel free to discuss this with the colleagues at or before the purchase.
