House for sale 5+1 • 187 m² without real estate, Schleswig-Holstein

An exceptionally idyllic residual farmhouse located approximately 400 meters from the dike—with its adjacent bathing area complete with a shower—is set in the quiet and sparsely populated Trendermarschkoog on Nordstrand, a tranquil peninsula near Husum in North Friesland. This very quiet, solitary property is being sold due to a relocation within Nordstrand.

This house is already a rare find by virtue of its location on the outskirts, as no new building permits are granted in these outer areas because developments on these green fringe zones do not conform to current political renaturation plans.

Even among the few properties on Nordstrand situated in these outer areas, this farmhouse impresses with its nearly dike-adjacent position at an optimal distance of about 400 meters. This means that although the dike is virtually at your doorstep, the activities of kitesurfers or tourists at the bathing spot during the high season do not encroach with their noise.

It is, therefore, a veritable dream property especially suited for retirees, city escapees, dropouts, or those striving for self-sufficiency.

Another special feature is the building's north–south orientation. Leaving the house in the morning for work, you are greeted by the rising sun; in the evening, returning and settling in the garden or on the raised terrace with a fantastic view over the marsh and the dike, you can enjoy a stunning sunset. The district town of Husum is easily accessible via the dam and offers hospitals, various specialized medical practices, a large industrial area, and all types of schools. Flensburg is just under an hour away, Kiel about an hour and a half, and Hamburg around two hours by car.

The property, cloaked in trees and covering approximately 3,000 square meters, is surrounded by arable fields and pasture. To the west, the property borders pasture land where very friendly cows regularly pay a visit—sometimes even stopping by for an apple or carrot. The nearest neighbor across the road is about 100 meters away, while other neighbors are several hundred meters distant.

On Nordstrand, you will find two general practitioners’ offices, two grocery stores, the Insel- und Halligschule Nordstrand (an elementary and comprehensive school), a post office, a pharmacy delivery service, a health resort featuring a publicly accessible swimming pool with sauna and various dining establishments, as well as a ferry port offering connections to Pellworm, Hallig Hooge, Amrum, and Sylt. There is also a bus service to Husum, where further secondary schools, two high schools, and a vocational school are located.

On the ground floor the house comprises a living room of approximately 19 m²—which, by removing the partition wall we erected, could easily be merged with the adjacent children’s room to recreate the original 36 m² living room—two children's rooms measuring 16 m² and 17 m², respectively; a 28 m² open-plan kitchen/dining area; a 9 m² bathroom with a bathtub; a utility room of 7.5 m²; and a hallway of about 15 m². The total developed living area on the ground floor is therefore approximately 111.5 m². The kitchen was completely renewed in 2022 and can be included in the sale. It features a kitchen island, an Italian designer stove, a charming Jugendstil buffet cabinet, and a huge fireplace stove that is capable of heating the entire house over long distances on its own—all of which can be taken over. The gas heating system is used for water heating and supplemental heating during the winter chill.

In the adjoining former stable area, there is a newly developed utility space of 63 m² available for further personalization by the new owner (such as a wellness oasis, seminar room, or, upon application, even a holiday apartment). In the former stable you will also find a workshop of 15.4 m², a second, larger utility room of 9 m² (serving as a laundry and storage area), a wood storage room of 4.5 m², and an additional storage room of 6 m².

The upper floor, covering approximately 86.4 m², has been developed over two levels into a bright, spacious area with a gallery of about 72 m². This includes an adjoining shower room of 4.7 m² and a walk-in closet of 9.7 m². The large space is divided into a separated study (by a partition wall), a living area with a sofa arrangement, and a sleeping area offering a panoramic view from the bed over the marsh, along with direct access to a raised terrace. On pleasant evenings, this terrace allows you to enjoy views over the wind-protected trees on the property and the surrounding fields with pasture—complete with cows—and the dike with its grazing sheep. Although the large room could easily be subdivided into three separate rooms using lightweight partition walls, we highly value the sheer, open spaciousness of the area complete with its gallery.

The right part of the house, located behind the wellness room, consists of the old barn with a floor area of approximately 109 m². Here, you can comfortably store a caravan or motorhome, boat, riding lawn mower, and other items, all accessible on dry ground directly from the main house. This is one of the advantages of such an integrated property, where—as is common in the region—in smaller farmhouses the residential building transitions directly into the stable and then the barn area. In larger residual farm properties, separate utility buildings are common, which are often impractical for private users.

Thanks to the abundant trees in the garden, delightful birdsong is guaranteed. Moreover, the entire rear of the house is hidden from view, offering complete privacy—ideal for enjoying complete freedom.

The garden also features a goldfish pond, an anchored and rustic stone-built seating area, a partly covered terrace, and a wood-heated bathing tub, as well as several raised beds and our salad cultivation station.

In front of the house stands a large, wind-resistant double carport.

There are also substantial stocks of firewood available, stored in the barn as well as in a shed in front of the house, with the property’s own trees supplying plenty of additional wood.
