House for sale 6+1 • 182 m² without real estate, North Rhine-Westphalia

Here is the English translation of the text:

The continuously modernized detached house offers, over two floors, a well-thought-out layout and diverse usage possibilities for families or couples in need of space.

Upon entering the house, you immediately step into a bright entrance area from which a staircase leads to the upper floor. On the ground floor there is a spacious guest bathroom with a walk-in shower, a large living room with direct access to the conservatory, a separate dining room, and an enclosed kitchen. From the kitchen you can access the utility room, which conveniently offers an exit to both the house entrance and the garden. Through the conservatory, you not only reach the garden but also the garage, which is equipped with two electric sectional roller shutters, thereby providing a through-access to the rear part of the property.

In the living room, a Roman oven was installed in 2017, comprising 1.1 tons of chamotte stones. This allows for heating the living area and makes it possible, for example, to bake pizzas, slow-cook, or smoke food.

On the upper floor, there are three bedrooms as well as a spacious bathroom with a freestanding bathtub and a large walk-in shower. The living areas feature tiled, laminate, and vinyl floors, and thanks to the many windows, they enjoy a bright and welcoming atmosphere.

The conservatory, an addition built in 2013 with approximately 21 m² of space, creates a sheltered transition between the interior and exterior and extends the living space especially during shoulder seasons.

The exterior area is the result of continuous and thoughtful design over many years. In addition to a brick garden house with an extensively greened roof, several raised garden beds made of wood and stone, a natural garden corner with native wildflowers, a herb spiral, and a pavilion with seating, the private wellness area is particularly impressive. The solidly constructed log sauna with an adjoining anteroom invites relaxation throughout the year. Directly next to it is the spacious swim spa, equipped with a separate heat pump, a counter-current system, and two whirlpool seats – ideal for unwinding or even for exercise. This combination of sauna and spa turns the garden into a true retreat oasis that goes far beyond the ordinary.

Three rainwater cisterns with a total capacity of 10,300 liters supply several water outlets in the garden and even allow for toilet flushing with rainwater. A modern photovoltaic system with individual microinverters on each module and a battery storage was installed in 2024. The network cabling within the house is pre-installed, and a fiber-optic connection is currently under development, expected to be available by mid-2025.

Although the house was built in 2008, it has been regularly modernized and maintained between 2010 and 2024 and is ready for immediate occupancy. It impresses with its appealing architecture, well-maintained condition, and a nature-oriented outdoor area that offers space for relaxation, active gardening, and the use of modern technology.

The detached house is located in Swisttal-Miel, one of the quieter districts of the municipality of Swisttal in the southwestern Rhein-Sieg district. The surroundings are characterized by single-family homes, abundant greenery, and a natural atmosphere that is especially appreciated by families. Miel itself has developed a village structure with a rural character, yet it is well connected to regional infrastructure. Within walking distance there is a kindergarten as well as a large play and recreational area, making everyday life with small children uncomplicated. The nearest restaurant with a castle and a golf course is only a few minutes’ walk away, and additional dining options are available in the neighboring towns.

For daily needs, there is a bakery and a farm shop. Several supermarkets and further shopping opportunities can be reached in just a few minutes by car, for example in Heimerzheim or Odendorf. Medical care and pharmacies are also available within a short distance, with the nearest medical facilities located approximately 3 to 5 kilometers away.

In terms of transportation, the location is also favorable: The nearby federal road B56 provides a direct connection to the A61 motorway, which is only a few minutes away. This allows for quick access to Bonn, Euskirchen, or even Cologne. Bonn is approximately a 20-minute drive, and Cologne can be reached in around 35 minutes. The connection towards the Eifel region is also good, making it easy to plan trips into nature.

Overall, the location offers a good balance between rural living and solid infrastructural connectivity – ideal for anyone seeking tranquility without sacrificing accessibility.

The property was not affected by the flood disaster in 2021. In the current delineation (2025) of the flood zones in Swisttal, the property is also not designated as a flood area.
