Type of Property and Location

This exclusive property is a historic, castle-like luxury residence in North Rhine-Westphalia, only a stone’s throw from Cologne. It is situated in a quiet rural village in the Euskirchen district, surrounded by beautiful nature, meticulously maintained estates, and family homes. The location offers an idyllic combination of privacy and urban proximity: thanks to excellent highway connections, the city of Cologne is reachable in about 20 minutes and Düsseldorf in about 30 minutes, with Cologne/Bonn Airport located only approximately 44 km away. The immediate vicinity to the Rhineland Nature Park also provides a variety of leisure and recreational activities in a green setting.

The Property and Outdoor Areas

The estate spans an impressive plot of approximately 73,000 m² (around 7.3 hectares), offering its residents complete privacy and a wealth of possibilities. A park-like garden with mature trees surrounds the manor, creating a charming backdrop in every season. The historic moat and pond system (a former water trench) and expansive lawns lend the outdoor areas a fairytale aura reminiscent of times long past. Several well-kept inner courtyards and terraces invite one to relax outdoors, while decorative external lighting spectacularly highlights the architecture at dusk. Various ancillary buildings – including a spacious garage and utility buildings – blend harmoniously into the overall ensemble, providing space for vehicles, equipment, and additional storage. For horse enthusiasts, there are also pasture areas and paddocks located directly by the house, allowing for the proper keeping of the animals.

A particular highlight of the estate is the professional equestrian facility seamlessly integrated into the property. It includes a modern riding hall measuring 60 × 20 m (Olympic format) – ideal for dressage and show jumping in any weather – as well as an expansive outdoor riding arena or training course with premium sand footing. In total, there are 24 bright and spacious horse stalls within a first-class stable complex. Directly adjacent, a paddock and training track offer optimal conditions for horse training and exercise. Two staff apartments at the stable ensure that round-the-clock care and supervision of the horses are possible. This equestrian facility leaves nothing to be desired and enables ambitious riders, hobby breeders, or professional equestrians to pursue their passion right at home – an amenity that is extremely rare in comparable properties.
