House for sale • 377 m² without real estate, Lower Saxony

Here is the English translation of the text:

On this extraordinary property, set on a slope, stands a three-story residential building with two separate apartments. It also includes a large natural garden with lush rhododendrons and an ancient stand of trees, as well as an adjoining nature reserve. This reserve features its own approximately 33‑meter-long riverside with a jetty, which directly borders the Ilmenau River.

The residential building was planned in 1959 by the then-renowned architect W. Herrmann in Lüneburg as one of the first in this unique location in the Ilmenau Valley and was acquired in 1999 by the current owner from the builder’s family. +++ It is arranged as follows:

A long loggia leads through the vestibule into the spacious entrance hall with access via a door to four sleeping rooms: two used as a master bedroom and a children’s room on the same floor with both a shower and a bathtub as well as a separate WC, and two additional children’s rooms accessible via a staircase in the attic featuring a shower room and a storage room.

Off the entrance hall, there is another room with a small southwest balcony, followed by an extra “trapped room” that serves as a true oasis of calm.

A generous staircase leads down to the garden level. Here, you will find a light-flooded living and dining area with an unobstructed and impressive view of the natural garden and the valley. +++ Also on this level is the fully equipped living kitchen, renovated in 2015, with a dining area and access to the laundry room and storage rooms on the same level. From there, you can step out onto a large covered veranda—perfect for gathering together even in changeable weather or during the transitional seasons—as well as onto another terrace with an awning and into the large mature garden. +++

The separate apartment (2) on the ground floor, also accessible via the loggia and vestibule, comprises three bright rooms, a fully equipped living kitchen, and a modern shower room. +++ The second separate apartment (3) is located on the garden level and is separately accessible via an external staircase. It consists of two rooms, a fully equipped kitchen with a small dining area, and likewise a modern shower room.

Both separate apartments can alternatively be connected to the main apartment. Up to now, they have been rented out. +++

The house offers the possibility of combining living and working (also in the separate office with its own entrance). It is also ideal for multi-generational living.

The ground floor (street level) is barrier‑free.

The property stretches approximately 170 m from east to west over a height difference of about 11 m and includes three driveable access roads. It also has a single garage and a double carport. +++ The approximately 33‑meter-long, gently curving Ilmenau riverside on the property is not only simply beautiful but also offers excellent opportunities for swimming in the river, stand‑up paddling, or boat trips (for example, with a canoe). +++ It is especially worth mentioning that there is a rich variety of flora and fauna. +++ The plot is home to many mature trees such as oaks, pines, birches, alders, and willows, as well as a variety of plants that are typical for a partly moist biotope, for example, wild orchids. Depending on the season, deer, foxes, ducks, geese, swans, cranes, herons, and even storks may be seen. A particularly broad range of songbirds also naturally especially appreciates this well‑preserved biotope. +++

The freehold property is located in Deutsch Evern, on the western edge along “Am Petersberg” street, one of the most sought‑after residential districts in the immediate vicinity of the Hanseatic city of Lüneburg. It is characterized by its hillside location, the proximity to a nature reserve, the open and unobstructed view of nature, the collection of old trees, the original natural setting, and the direct location by the Ilmenau River. +++ Deutsch Evern belongs to the Samtgemeinde Ilmenau and offers all facilities required for daily needs, such as grocery stores, bakeries, pharmacies, a savings bank, hairdressers, etc. Deutsch Evern has two kindergartens and a primary school. Secondary schools are located in Embsen, within the Samtgemeinde Ilmenau, and in nearby Lüneburg. In addition, the neighboring town of Melbeck hosts the “Lüneburger Heide” gymnasium as a private all‑day school. The location is further characterized by an attractive natural landscape and, at the same time, very good transport connections to Lüneburg and the metropolis Hamburg. An HVV bus stop is located directly across the street. +++ The neighborhood is purely residential. The aforementioned services can be reached within a short distance. Endless walks present themselves in the easily accessible (even on foot) animal park or in the immediately adjacent, charming Ilmenau Valley. The Samtgemeinde offers a wide range of sports facilities. Further information about the town and the Samtgemeinde Ilmenau can be found at deutsch-evern.de and samtgemeinde-ilmenau.de. +++
