House for sale 5+1 • 141 m² without real estate, North Rhine-Westphalia

The like-new, two-story block board house was built in 2014 by the company Nordic-Haus on an 8,996 m² fruit meadow in a district of the municipality of Wassenberg in the Heinsberg district. In addition, the owners installed all the facilities required for the officially approved keeping of two horses.

The property impresses with a modern layout that also enables aging in place (if desired, with an accessory dwelling unit, for example for a caregiver). On the ground floor (with the only exception being a step leading onto the veranda in front of the entrance—which can easily be provided with a ramp), apart from the entrance area you will find the large kitchen/dining/living area, a pantry, a guest toilet, and a bedroom with a master bathroom. The white country house doors are mostly 1 meter wide. Particularly noteworthy are the numerous triple-glazed windows with wooden muntins that flood the entire house with light despite the wooden walls. The owners have painted the entire interior with a colorless specialty glaze that prevents the wood from darkening over time. Every room has at least two windows, one of which is equipped with custom-made insect screens.

In the living room, two windows—3 meters and 2 meters wide respectively—with lift sliding doors provide access to the south-facing covered veranda and a west-facing terrace. The high-quality glossy fitted kitchen in the modern shade “Magnolia,” as well as two built-in wardrobes crafted by a carpenter in the basement, are included in the purchase price, along with the bathroom furniture and custom-made blackout blinds in two of the bedrooms.

The three rooms and the bathroom on the upper floor stand out for their high ceilings and the exposed beam ceiling that opens up into the roof space. They each have their own fuse box, heating circuit distributor, and provisions for the installation of a kitchen. Heating for the entire house, including the full basement, is provided by an underfloor heating system powered by wood pellets.

In the basement there is a fifth bedroom that benefits from natural light through a west-facing sloping window. In addition, separate rooms house the heating system, a pellet storage area, a workshop, and a utility/laundry room.

The separate stable building consists, on the one hand, of an open carport/storage area for equipment and trailers, and on the other hand, of a closed section with a stable aisle and two horse stalls featuring exterior doors that lead to a secured paddock.

The property is quietly located at the end of a cul-de-sac in a district of the spa town Wassenberg. The grounds are divided into 1,315 m² of residential construction area and 7,681 m² of pasture. The latter is a fruit meadow with approximately 20 trees, accessible exclusively via the private driveway and otherwise not accessible. The property is securely fenced in a horse-friendly manner, and a permanent manure storage platform is available and approved.

It is approximately 2 kilometers to one of Wassenberg’s shopping districts—with several grocery stores, a clothing shop, and a drugstore—and about 3 kilometers to the center of Wassenberg. Wassenberg boasts an active community life and hosts numerous festivals and cultural events throughout the year. The small town delights with its municipal forest and its location within the German-Dutch Maas-Schwalm-Nette Nature Park. The property is only 500 meters from the Rur River, which offers a hiking and cycling path (where horseback riding is also permitted)!

For a thorough shopping trip, the district town of Heinsberg is 6 kilometers away, and Roermond in the Netherlands—with its designer outlet open 363 days a year—is only 25 kilometers from the property.
