A residential setting rarely found in the Ruhr region.

The property is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac in one of the most sought-after residential areas of Herten-Westerholt. The low-traffic residential street provides a particularly peaceful and safe living environment, making it ideal for families, nature lovers, and anyone who values quality of life.

One of the region’s most beautiful recreational areas begins just a few steps away. Westerholt Forest is only around 100 metres from the property and connects almost seamlessly with the former Löwenpark, Gelsenkirchen-Buer Municipal Forest, and the extensive parkland surrounding Schloss Berge. Miles of walking, hiking, and cycling trails lead through mature woodland and well-kept green spaces, providing exceptional recreational opportunities right on your doorstep.

Historic Westerholt Castle, one of the most beautiful moated castles in the Vest Recklinghausen region, is only a few minutes’ walk away. Today, the castle houses a stylish hotel with an upscale restaurant and beer garden and, together with the adjacent Westerholt Golf Club, forms the social centre of the district.

Directly adjoining it is the listed historic Old Village of Westerholt, with around 60 lovingly restored half-timbered houses, narrow lanes, and its unique historic atmosphere. Long-established restaurants such as Gasthof Altes Dorf and Hotel-Restaurant Alt Westerholt, as well as the popular ARKADE with its café, beer garden, and restaurant, invite visitors to linger. This unique historic ensemble gives Westerholt a charm that is unrivalled in the Ruhr region.

The location is equally impressive for everyday convenience. Shops, doctors, pharmacies, nurseries, and schools are all located nearby. The Martini Primary School is currently being rebuilt and is scheduled to open for the 2027/2028 school year. Other secondary schools in Herten and Gelsenkirchen-Buer are also within easy reach.

Despite the peaceful residential setting, commuters benefit from excellent transport connections. The cities of Recklinghausen, Gelsenkirchen, Marl, Herne, Essen, and Bochum, as well as the A2, A43, and A52 motorways, can all be reached quickly.

Living here means enjoying an exceptional combination of nature, history, restaurants, golf, recreation, and excellent infrastructure every day. It is precisely this rare combination that has made Herten-Westerholt one of the most sought-after residential locations in the northern Ruhr region for many years.

This well-maintained property stands out for its solid masonry construction, well-designed layout, numerous upgrades that have already been completed, and exceptional development potential. Many costly improvements have already been carried out, providing an excellent foundation for future individual upgrades.
