House for sale • 182 m² without real estate, Schleswig-Holstein

Light-filled and continuously modernized single-family house built in 1995 – originally designated as an “energy-saving house” – offering 182 m² of living space including a 35 m² office or secondary suite, a 988 m² plot, as well as a 25% share in a green area located south of the house. This green area is contractually secured to remain undeveloped permanently. Here you can realize nature-close living with plenty of privacy and opportunities for personalization in a town with diverse infrastructure and excellent transport links.

Ideal, for example, for families, self-employed individuals, or those who prefer to work from home in relative seclusion yet want to stay close to family. It is also very well suited for commuters—30 minutes to Kiel, 45 minutes to Hamburg (toward HH-West or the airport). In 30 minutes you reach Kiel, in 45 minutes the Baltic Sea or Hamburg Airport, the North Sea is less than 70 km away, and Denmark is only an hour away. And yet you live right in the heart of a varied landscape with many forests, floodplains, moors, and an extensive network of hiking and riding trails in Aukrug—a town of almost 4,000 inhabitants with a balanced age structure in the “Aukrug Nature Park.”

This forms the basis for a high quality of life for many living situations. The comprehensive infrastructure for everyday needs perfectly complements this foundation: two medical practices, a dental office, a pharmacy, a physiotherapy clinic, a nursing service, a hairdresser, a beauty studio, two grocery markets, a bakery, several restaurants/snack bars, a café, an ice cream parlor, a vehicle workshop, a bank, a daycare center (with a forest group), an elementary school (with secondary schools in Hohenwestedt and Neumünster reachable by train), a gas station, and a train station with service from early morning until late at night in two-hour intervals, providing connections to the rail hub of the nearby 80,000-inhabitant city Neumünster (15 km away).

The recreational offerings are exceptionally diverse and comprehensive: a lively sports club with many active departments, several tennis courts, a beautiful heated outdoor pool, several riding stables, a golf course, a glider airfield, a youth fire brigade, several clubs and associations, and, of course, the natural diversity of the region.

Green Land Associated with the Property

Because “location is everything,” please note the compensation area located south of the house and lot, which is acquired together with the property and already included in the purchase price. This feature makes the property a “jewel” that presents itself differently throughout the seasons. You will enjoy unobstructed views of varied and diverse nature, abundant wildlife, a pond-like body of water (often used for ice skating in winter), and one of the many floodplains that gives the town its name, directly adjacent to the property. It’s a dream come true not only for children.

This area covers 7,402 m², of which 2/8, as part of a communal plot (to which the neighbors belong), is to be acquired. The owners’ community jointly takes care of the extensively “managed” area. Contractual regulations ensure that all lots remain permanently undeveloped.

Effort and maintenance costs are extremely “modest.” Working together within the communal plot is always an excellent foundation for maintaining the “good neighborly” relations that have existed for “decades.”

A fresh coat of paint on the house is recommended approximately every 7 years, which clearly keeps the property looking like new. Those who wish can even change the color. The next “due” painting would be in 2027. The material and the recommended work platform cost approximately EUR 1,200 to 1,500. Labor costs vary depending on the provider. The upcoming painting can also be taken over by the previous owners.

Occupancy and Availability

The house is move-in ready. Depending on the buyers' expectations and personal preferences, modernizations/changes – for example, the installation of photovoltaics (the east and west sides of the roof are very well suited according to the solar cadastre), geothermal energy (there is sufficient space for, for example, ring collectors), or even layout modifications (drywall partitions) – are conceivable, though not really necessary.

Ideally, the sellers would move directly into their future home while the buyers realize their desired move-in date. Interim living arrangements for the sellers are also conceivable, so it can be expected that a good solution for everyone can be found.

Financing

If needed, a temporal split between the purchase of the house/lot and the acquisition of the compensation area can be arranged (legally and notarized), so that the financing costs for the first years can be kept lower. Specific details can be arranged upon request.
