House for sale • 182 m² without real estate, Schleswig-Holstein

If light, closeness to nature and tranquility – combined with integration into a centrally located town of 3,800 inhabitants in Schleswig-Holstein – mean something to you, then you should take a look at this property. Every day you can experience the feeling of “really being in the right place,” with an unbeatable south-facing orientation offering views of nature, plenty of room for children to play, and high value retention, because “location” never goes out of style.

A continuously modernized detached house built in 1995 – originally certified as an “energy-saving house” – offering 182 m² of living space, including an additional 35 m² office or in-law unit with its own separate entrance, on a 988 m² plot. The property borders a south-facing, untouched green area that provides unobstructed views of nature. It is ideal, for example, for families, self-employed professionals, or those who want to work from home in relative seclusion while still being close to family. It’s also well suited for commuters, e.g., to Kiel (30 minutes) or Hamburg (45 minutes to HH-West or the airport).

You’re just 30 minutes away from Kiel, 45 minutes from the Baltic Sea or Hamburg Airport, under 70 km from the North Sea, or an hour from Denmark. And yet you live in the midst of a varied landscape with forests, floodplains, moors, and an extensive network of hiking or riding trails in the town of Aukrug – with just under 4,000 residents and a balanced age structure – located in the “Aukrug Nature Park.”

This forms the basis for a high quality of life for a variety of living situations. The comprehensive infrastructure with all the facilities for daily needs rounds off this foundation: two medical practices, one dental office, a pharmacy, a physiotherapy practice, a nursing service, a hairdresser, a beauty studio, two grocery stores, a bakery, several restaurants/snack bars, a café, an ice cream parlor, an automotive repair shop, a bank, a daycare center (with a forest group), a primary school (secondary schools in Hohenwestedt and Neumünster are easily accessible by train), a gas station, and a train station with services running every two hours from early morning until late at night to the nearby (15 km) 80,000-inhabitant city of Neumünster—the local rail transport hub.

The leisure opportunities are exceptionally diverse and extensive: a vibrant sports club with many active divisions, several tennis courts, a beautiful heated outdoor pool, several riding stables, a golf course, a glider airfield, canoe launching sites, a youth fire brigade, several local guilds, and of course the abundance of nature.

Key Features:

To the south of the property and the adjacent plots lies a “green land” where building is excluded. The 7,402 m² area is jointly owned by four “resident parties.” A 2/8 share can be acquired with the property or later for EUR 15,000. This area ensures an unobstructed view to the south. It makes the property a “jewel” that presents itself differently throughout the seasons – with varied nature, biodiversity, a pond-like water body (often usable for ice skating in winter), and one of the typical local floodplains right on the premises. It is not only dreamy for children.

If you can’t make use of the high-quality kitchen or the VdS-certified alarm system, the sellers are willing, if necessary, to take them over and offer a price reduction of EUR 10,000/3,000 (kitchen/alarm system).

A complete repainting of the house is due every 7 to 12 years, depending on the color (costs including materials and scaffolding approx. EUR 1,500 plus labor costs, which vary by provider or can be reduced with DIY). The house will then look as good as new.

The house is ready to move in. Modernizations/changes – for example, the installation of photovoltaic systems (very suitable according to the solar cadastre), geothermal heating, or alterations to the floor plan (drywall partitions) – are conceivable, but not really necessary.

Ideally, the sellers would move directly into their future home and the buyers would realize their desired move-in date. However, interim housing solutions are also possible for the sellers, thus allowing for a short-term move-in.

With or without an agent? The property is also being offered through a real estate agent (www.ein-prozent-immobilienmakler.de). The potential benefit for customers is a “sense of security” as well as the involvement of professional expertise throughout the process, including appraisal, market evaluation, consultation, and “practical” support. This is worth the agent’s commission – which we cover entirely – of 2.38% (including VAT). But we are also happy if we can manage everything without an agent. You can trust in our fairness and the sensible inclusion of external professional expertise if necessary.
