For sale is a well-maintained detached house built in solid brick construction that impresses with its energy-efficient external insulation. The house offers excellent thermal protection and a pleasant indoor climate in every season. It was built between 1980 and 1982 by an architect as a holiday home in Weingarts on an approximately 810 m² sloping plot. The property includes a part of the access road (Stichstraße) by which the house can be reached. This access road ends at an adjacent developed plot. In addition to the house, there is a garage. On the property there is also a workshop, a shed, a greenhouse, and a masonry garden house.

Inside the house, low-temperature radiators, underfloor heating, a fireplace stove on the ground floor, and a tiled stove in the basement ensure comfort.

On the ground floor you will find the entrance area with a spacious hall, a large living and dining room with a fireplace stove, a kitchen, one bedroom, a separate WC, and a bathroom with a bathtub and bidet. The living room features a large aluminum sliding glass door providing access to the sheltered terrace. The entrance to the parking area and the house is on the ground level and can be easily adapted to be barrier-free.

In the basement there are four rooms, the largest of which is a passage room. This room offers access to the garden via a large sliding glass door (complete with its own locking cylinder, making it usable as a second entrance). The other three rooms with windows can be used as desired. Furthermore, the basement contains a bathroom with a shower and WC, a storage room, and a heating room with an additional tank room. The basement is accessible via a marble staircase and can be separated by a lockable wooden door.

The insulated and finished attic spans the full width of the house and additionally features a 20 m² bay window with a large row of sliding and tilting windows, offering an unobstructed view over the village. An additional window on the west gable side enables optimal use as a workspace. The attic is accessible via a wooden staircase and/or a goods lift platform.

Weingarts is a picturesque parish village in the southeast of the Kunreuth Valley, a part of the municipality of Kunreuth in the Forchheim district, conveniently located between Forchheim (15 km/15 minutes), Erlangen (20 km/20 minutes), and Nuremberg (30 km/30 minutes) right at the gateway to the Franconian Switzerland. The village has around 600 inhabitants and offers a guesthouse, a sports hall, a village café, a butcher/party service, a bakery, a country bread bakery with a lighting shop, a beverage market, various farms (fruit, vegetables, eggs), and fruit distilleries. There is also an industrial area with a carpentry shop, a joinery, and other craft businesses. Various associations support the cultural and community life. In the immediate vicinity (approximately 2 km: Kunreuth, Pommer, Regensberg, and Mittel- and Oberehrenbach) one can find the town hall, kindergarten, school, general practitioner, butcher, bakery, pharmacy, grocery store, restaurants, building services, sawmill, and more.

Situated in the Trubbach valley, Weingarts offers an idyllic environment with views over the Franconian Alb, framed by Ehrenbürg and Hetzleser Berg. The sloping position of many properties, as with this house, provides impressive landscape views; it is located on the edge of the village in a quiet cul-de-sac with an unobstructed view of the Walberla, making it attractive for families and those seeking tranquility.

The house was designed at the time of the first energy crisis (increasing energy prices, weekend driving bans) and built with sustainable insulation measures learned from that experience (for example, the exterior of the house has 6 cm of insulation, with an overall wall thickness of 32.5 cm; the double-shell brick wall on the west side is intended to store the sun’s heat for the living room). High-quality aluminum windows and aluminum sliding glass doors with electric external blinds were installed on the ground and basement levels. In the conversion and insulation of the attic, high-quality plastic windows were also used. Over the past twenty years, various measures have been taken to prevent energy losses from the house: improvement of the base insulation, roof insulation and finishing with 200 mm thick compression felt, a vapor barrier and 20 mm drywall, and, last year, new double-glazed insulating glass in the entrance area. Furthermore, the oil heating system was replaced by a new heating system featuring an environmentally friendly blue burner and a 160 l water storage tank (with PV connection) from Buderus. The water supply lines for the ground floor were renewed with composite pipes for the bathrooms and WC. The electrical installation is in fault-free condition; due to extensions in the attic, sauna, workshop, garage, and PV system, the electrical installation was expanded.

Additional comfort is provided by an upscale finish with ceramic tiled floors (60×60 cm) with underfloor heating, two wood-burning fireplaces, double-glazed aluminum windows, and large aluminum sliding glass doors with thermal insulation and electric external blinds. The southern terrace is sheltered from wind and sun and is equipped with an electric awning.

Further energy generation is provided by a 2 kW solar system with a 6 kW battery storage. This system can be used either for hot water generation or for electricity generation without feeding into the grid. There are also connections available for charging an electric vehicle, and the system is controllable via SMARTHOME. An intelligent automatic control of the energy management system is installed.
