House for sale 5+1 • 187 m² without real estate, Schleswig-Holstein

Below is the English translation of the text marked by the tag:

A truly idyllic former farmstead located about 400 meters from the dike and its adjacent bathing area with a shower, situated in the quiet and scarcely populated Trendermarschkoog on Nordstrand – a charming peninsula near Husum in North Frisia – in an extremely peaceful, isolated setting, and available for sale due to a relocation within Nordstrand.

This property is a rare example of a house in an outer area – an area where no new building permits are granted anymore because developments in these green outskirts do not correspond with the political re-naturalisation plans.

Even among such scarce properties in outer areas on Nordstrand, this former farmstead impresses with its location almost directly by the dike, at an optimal distance of about 400 meters. This means that while the dike is virtually at your doorstep, the activities of kite surfers or tourists at the bathing spot in peak season do not reach the property acoustically.

Another special feature is the building’s alignment along a north-south axis. If you leave the house in the morning for work, you are greeted by the morning sun; then, returning in the evening and sitting in the garden or on the elevated terrace with a fantastic view over the marshland and the dike, you can enjoy a beautiful sunset.

This is a veritable dream property especially for retirees, urban escapees, those seeking a simpler life, or self-sufficient individuals.

Additionally, a roughly 1-hectare paddock right next to the property could possibly be leased if one wishes to keep 1–2 horses.

The county town of Husum is easily accessible via the causeway and offers hospitals, various specialist practices, a large industrial area, and all levels of schools. It is about an hour’s drive to Flensburg, an hour and a half to Kiel, and two hours to Hamburg.

The property, surrounded by trees, has an area of approximately 3,000 m² and is encircled by arable and pasture land. To the west of the property are grazing fields. Here, you will regularly be visited by very friendly cows that are happy to help themselves to an apple or a carrot. The nearest neighbor on the opposite side of the road is about 100 m away, while others are several hundred meters distant.

On Nordstrand, there are two general practitioners, two grocery stores, the Insel- und Halligschool Nordstrand (a primary and comprehensive school), a post office, a pharmacy delivery service, a health center with a publicly accessible swimming pool and sauna, as well as various restaurants, and a ferry terminal to Pellworm, Hallig Hooge, Amrum, and Sylt. There is also a bus connection to Husum, which hosts further secondary schools, two grammar schools, and a vocational school.

On the ground floor, there is one living room of approximately 19 m² which, after removing the partition wall we erected, can easily be combined with the adjacent children’s room to recreate the originally existing 36 m² living room, two children’s rooms of 16 m² and 17 m² respectively, and a 28 m² living kitchen, a 9 m² bathroom with a bathtub, and a utility room of 7.5 m², plus an entry hall of around 15 m². The developed living area on the ground floor thus totals approximately 111.5 m². The kitchen was completely renewed in 2022 and could be included in the sale. It features a kitchen island, an Italian designer stove, a beautiful Art Nouveau buffet cabinet, as well as a huge masonry stove that is capable of heating the entire house over long distances all by itself – all of which can be retained by the new owner. The gas heating system provides hot water and additional heating during winter chills.

In the adjacent, former stable area, there is now a newly finished usable space of 63 m² that the new owner can further adapt (e.g., as a wellness area, seminar room, or potentially a holiday apartment upon application). In the former stable you will also find a workshop of 15.4 m², a second larger utility room of 9 m² (serving as a laundry and storage room), a wood storage area of 4.5 m², and an additional storage room of 6 m².

The upper floor, approx. 86.4 m², has been developed over two levels into a light-filled large room with a mezzanine of about 72 m², accompanied by an adjoining shower room of 4.7 m² and a walk-in closet of 9.7 m². The large room is divided into an office space separated by a partition wall, a living area with a sofa set, and a sleeping area with panoramic views directly from the bed over the marsh into the distance, as well as direct access to an elevated terrace. On serene evenings, this terrace enables one to enjoy views over the wind-protective trees of the property and the surrounding fields with pastures, cows, and the dike with sheep. This spacious room could be easily divided into three separate rooms with lightweight partition walls, although we highly value its airy, open-plan character with the mezzanine.

The right part of the house behind the wellness room consists of the old barn with a floor area of approximately 109 m². Here you can easily store a caravan or motorhome, a boat, a riding lawn mower, etc., with direct and dry access from the main house. This is the advantage of such connected buildings – as is common in the region – where, in smaller farmsteads, the residential building extends directly into the stable and then into the barn area. In larger former farms, separate utility buildings are common, which are often impractical for private users.

Thanks to the abundant tree coverage in the garden, delightful bird song is guaranteed. And the entire rear of the house is not visible from the outside, ensuring complete privacy.

The garden also features a goldfish pond, a built-in, rustic stone seating area, a partly covered terrace, and a wood-heated bathing tub, along with several raised beds and our salad cultivation station.

In front of the house stands a large, wind-resistant double carport.

Large stocks of firewood are still available, both in the barn and in a storage shed in front of the house; additionally, the property’s own trees supply ample firewood.

Regarding the energy situation:

During the conversion of the upper floor, the roof was re-insulated with mineral wool, and the entire exterior wall of the house was re-insulated by blowing insulation into the air gap. This accounts for the favorable energy certificate rating, although we also very much enjoy heating with the stove. For further optimization, a large photovoltaic system could be installed on the barn roof.
