House for sale 4+1 • 117 m² without real estate, Lower Saxony

For sale is a captain’s house situated on a large garden plot.

The house, built in 1996 with solid construction, impresses with its traditional maritime architecture combined with modern elements. Shielded from the street by a rose hedge, the house sits in a green oasis. The spacious garden, designed with ecological principles and facing south, provides complete privacy with its trees, wild shrubs, and a beautiful oak. Climbing roses, hydrangeas, and flower beds frame the house.

Both the construction of the house and the design of the garden are based on the owners’ longstanding island experience.

This holiday home fulfills the dream of a stylish seaside refuge. Located away from the village center in a quiet residential area and near the beach, the generous entrance area leads into a bright, light-filled living/dining area and the open kitchen with a pantry. From the dining area, you can access the loggia, where you can enjoy views of the garden sheltered from wind and weather. The adjoining terrace is surrounded by flower beds.

On the ground floor, there is also a guest shower room and a storage room with all the necessary house connections. Upstairs, three bedrooms and a full bathroom provide ample space for a family. From one of the rooms, a staircase leads to a livable attic that can be used as a hobby room or an additional guest room.

The south-facing sloping gable roof is largely closed, making it well-suited for the installation of a solar system. The solid brick construction with effective insulation and numerous windows creates an overall pleasant living climate. All windows are fitted with shutters. In addition to the gas central heating with a nearly new condensing boiler, a fireplace contributes to the cozy atmosphere. The firewood is stored in a large shed at the back of the garden.

The furniture can be included in the sale, meaning the house would be ready to move into immediately. It has so far only been used privately, but holiday rentals are permitted.

North Sea Island Langeoog

The third-largest East Frisian island, lovingly referred to by locals as “the most beautiful sand dune of the North Sea,” is located in the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park, which is part of the UNESCO World Heritage. It can be reached by ferry from Bensersiel or by plane.

The island offers a varied landscape with a long sandy beach and extensive dunes in the north, tidal flats and salt marshes in the south, as well as a forest, a lake, willows, and dikes, creating a mosaic of nature reserves.

Covering an area of about 20 square kilometers, the island provides a multitude of opportunities for nature lovers, those seeking tranquility, and for a sociable life in the village or at the main and sports beaches. Langeoog is considered a family-friendly island for children, and many visitors are regulars who return each year.

On the car-free island, the holiday feeling begins with the ride from the harbor to the village on the nostalgic island train—a literal deceleration that you can feel immediately. The only means of transport are bicycles, electric vehicles, and horse-drawn carriages.

Free from any exhaust fumes, a stay in the healing sea climate already feels like a natural remedy, which is further enhanced by an extensive therapeutic offer.

Relaxing walks along the 14 km-long sandy beach or along the dikes offer peace and relaxation. On these walks, you may sometimes spot harbor seals, but above all, countless birds attracted by the mudflats as a food source. Guided mudflat hikes allow you to explore the diversity of the myriad inhabitants of the silt.

In addition to the varied natural experiences, sporting activities are a focal point of the holiday. Those who wish to do more than just swim in the sea can try out various water sports or participate in an engaging sports program. Furthermore, there is the possibility of playing golf and tennis or going horseback riding. The holiday experience is rounded off with numerous creative courses and cultural events.

It is not easy to reconcile the protection of the unique flora and fauna with the demands of tourism, but the alternating intense natural experiences and diverse activities form the very special charm of island life.
