A paradise for nature lovers, horse enthusiasts, and those seeking tranquility

Imagine waking up in the morning with a view of the stork colony, enjoying your first coffee in the sun on the wooden terrace beside the horses. Pure idyll that makes you forget everyday life. This extraordinary property offers you an oasis of calm and relaxation. Harvest wild garlic by your own pond, admire blooming fruit trees, and in summer enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables from the garden. In autumn, you will be greeted with apples of old, low-allergen varieties as well as hazelnuts and walnuts from your own trees.

The main residence sits atop an elevation and impresses with absolute tranquility and a breathtaking view: floor-to-ceiling windows open up the panorama of the garden, horse paddocks, stork colony, and pond. The courtyard, built in the style of a manor house, combines rural charm with the highest standard of living comfort: high ceilings, oak floorboards, spacious rooms, lime-plastered walls with underfloor heating, triple-glazed windows, and high-quality insect screens create a pleasant indoor climate – warm in winter, cool in summer. This way, you can enjoy the fresh air and nature undisturbed at night.

For horse lovers, the property is ideal: open barn stabling with free run, an illuminated sand arena and enchanting riding opportunities in the surrounding nature. A chicken coop awaits new residents. Privacy is guaranteed: the grounds are surrounded by a high hornbeam hedge, and an additional Bonanza fence with a wooden gate protects the courtyard. Historic cobblestone paving, an imposing Tennent gate, and the typical red-brick facades lend the property a romantic flair.

Versatile usage options: The separate luxury apartments are suitable for rental, multigenerational living, or as inspiring workspaces. The spacious loft with a sauna and the light-filled office offer room for workshops, coaching sessions, events, or creative projects.

The building plot provides space for further ideas, and the old fire station near the large pond (a former swimming pond) could be transformed into a romantic tiny house. Additionally, the huge attic offers further expansion potential.

A nearby forest can also be purchased.

Here, nature, comfort, and diverse opportunities converge – a place where you can realize your dreams.

The location and its possibilities

Borstel is a village with 130 inhabitants in the heart of Schleswig-Holstein, between the seas. Hamburg Central Station and Kiel can be reached very quickly by train without transfers (Brokstedt station, about 2 km away). By car, you can reach Hamburg Central Station in about 45 minutes and Kiel in 30 minutes. From here, you can use either the A7 or A23 for driving to Hamburg. Hamburg Airport is also reachable within 40 minutes. The Baltic and North Seas are about 45–60 minutes away. Borstel borders the Aukrug Nature Park, which offers many riding trails ideal for long rides. Since in this part of Schleswig-Holstein "there’s a horse behind every house," the network of riding trails is particularly good. There are also many lovely circuits for cycling, jogging, or strolling (see map). Outdoor swimming pools are located in the neighboring villages of Quarnstedt and Brokstedt. Kindergartens, including an excellent forest kindergarten, primary schools, and secondary schools (grammar schools and comprehensive schools) are quickly accessible in the surrounding villages and in Bad Bramstedt for children (the school bus to Bad Bramstedt takes less than 15 minutes).

Shopping opportunities, doctors, and pharmacies can be found in Brokstedt, Wrist, and Kellinghusen. A package-free store (Mühle Breide) is located in Wrist. The Schümann-Hof, a Demeter organic farm, supplies goods with its own or purchased products once a week. The Designer Outlet in Neumünster is a 15-minute drive away.

On the nearby Stör River, you can go on canoe tours, and at Rensinger See you can swim (even with your horse and dog).

The Alte Südhof offers an extraordinary ensemble for living, working, and animal-friendly keeping – ideal for families, multigenerational projects, self-sufficient individuals, freelancers, or event providers. A total of approximately 800 m² of living space in three (actually four) residential units is available, complemented by an expansion reserve of about 235 m² as well as an adjacent building plot (951 m²) and an until now unused, romantic red-brick spray house that could be suitable as a tiny house. The purchase of an additional 2.5 hectares of forest is possible. The core renovation was carried out between 2013 and 2016 with a focus on building-biological quality and energy efficiency (Class C). All living areas in the main house are equipped with lime plaster, underfloor heating, and high-quality wood/stone floors. Triple-glazed wood-aluminum windows with insect and pollen screens ensure a healthy indoor climate and tranquility.

The main residence, built in the style of a manor house, impresses with high ceilings, spacious rooms, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a dreamlike view of the garden, paddocks, pond, and the inhabited stork colony. A fireplace, sauna, large kitchen, three terraces (two with glass roofs), as well as a separate guest/au pair area with a bathroom offer the highest living comfort. The fully equipped loft with sauna is ideal for a home office, events, coaching, workshops, or for renting out. A lovingly designed area with three guest WCs can be accessed both from the loft's entrance area and from the main house.

The other units have been renovated to a high standard and are flexibly usable – for instance as practice rooms, apartments, or for traditional renting (current rental income approx. €70,000 per year, excluding the main house).

The heating system is flexibly operable with gas or wood and is supported by a photovoltaic system. Fiber optic internet (500 Mbit/s) enables modern working conditions.

For horse keeping, there are open and active stables, eight boxes, a sand arena (20×40 m, floodlit), about 1.8 hectares of paddocks, a feeding area, and a free run. A chicken coop, workshop, equipment and machinery shed, three covered parking spaces, a large pond, raised flowerbeds, and fruit, herb, and vegetable gardens round off the offer.

A paradise for individualists, horse lovers, and visionaries!
