This house has experienced a great deal. Several families have lived here, sharing both everyday life and special moments, and in doing so, helped shape the noticeably warm atmosphere of the house. After being used privately in recent years, until five years ago it served for many years as the popular day-trip café "Café Uhrendorf."

The strong character of the house allows you to unleash your creativity. Continue its story! Furnish the house in a minimalist Scandinavian style, with lavish antiques, artistically vibrant touches, or however you please. Moreover, the size of the house makes room for many different areas—you’re welcome to move in and gradually shape everything to your liking.

The garden offers a similar opportunity. Design it to suit your needs. A vast green meadow with trees, a colorful paradise of flowers and perennials, various vegetable beds, or perhaps you appreciate a slightly tamed wild-romantic style like I do—the choice is yours. I have never used any poison; the marshy soil is fertile gardener’s gold.

From the approximately 120-year-old main house, a bright winter garden leads into a wooden annex that is well suited as an office. In front of the house stands a charming little building, which served as the restroom during café hours. Perhaps you would like to convert it into a sauna or a small holiday apartment?

Surely, you’ll want to update the bathrooms and the kitchen. The roof should also be addressed in the coming years, possibly in combination with alternative energies. The gas heating system was renewed in 2011.

The main house is set back in a distinguished manner, 20 meters from the street. The property is bordered on one side by a Fleet and at the back by tall trees and expansive fields. The locally significant facade is under heritage protection.

The municipality of Beidenfleth is wonderfully located directly on the Stör between Itzehoe and Glücksstadt/Elbe, about 65 km northwest of Hamburg. It is approximately 70 km to Büsum, about 85 km to St. Peter-Ording, and less than 150 km from the Danish border. For more information, visit Amt Wilstermarsch at www.wilster.de.
