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

Here is the English translation:

On this extraordinary property, located on a hillside, there is a three-story residence with two separate self-contained apartments. It also includes a large natural garden with abundant rhododendrons and mature trees, as well as an immediately adjoining nature reserve. This reserve features its own approximately 33‑meter‐long riverbank with a dock directly on the Ilmenau.

The residence was designed in 1959 by the then-renowned architect W. Herrmann from Lüneburg as one of the first properties in this unique location in the Ilmenau Valley, and it was acquired in 1999 by the current owner from the original builder family.

+++

It is arranged as follows:

A long covered corridor leads through the vestibule into the spacious entrance hall. From here, through a door, one can access the four bedrooms: two located on the same floor that serve as a master bedroom and a children’s room with both a shower and a bathtub as well as a separate WC, and two additional children’s rooms located via a staircase in the attic, featuring a shower room and a storage area.

Attached to the entrance hall is another room with a small southwest-facing balcony, followed by an additional secluded room—a true oasis of calm.

A generous staircase leads down to the garden level. Here you find a light-filled 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, completely modernized (in 2015) kitchen with a dining area and access to the laundry room and storage areas on the same floor. From here, you can step out onto a large covered veranda—perfect for gatherings even in inclement weather or during transitional seasons—as well as another terrace with an awning that leads to the expansive, mature garden.

+++

The separate apartment (2) on the ground floor, which is also accessible via the covered corridor and vestibule, features three bright rooms, an equipped kitchen, and a modern shower room.

The second separate apartment (3) is located on the garden level and can be reached separately via an external staircase. It has two rooms, an equipped kitchen with a small dining area, and also a modern shower room.

Both separate apartments can optionally be connected to the main residence. Up to now, they have been rented.

+++

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

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

The property, which extends approximately 170 meters from east to west with a vertical difference of about 11 meters, features three driveable access roads. It includes a single garage and a double carport.

+++

The property’s approximately 33‑meter long, curved Ilmenau riverbank is not only simply beautiful but also offers excellent opportunities for swimming in the river, stand‑up paddleboarding, or boat trips (for example by canoe).

+++

It is particularly worth mentioning that the property boasts a rich variety of flora and fauna. It is home to many mature trees such as oaks, pines, birches, alders, and willows, as well as numerous plants typical of a partly moist habitat—for example, wild orchids. Depending on the season, you might also encounter deer, foxes, ducks, geese, swans, cranes, herons, and even an occasional stork. A notably diverse population of songbirds further enhances the appreciation of this well-preserved habitat.

+++

The freehold property is located on the western edge of Deutsch Evern, on the street “Am Petersberg,” one of the most sought-after residential areas in the immediate vicinity of the Hanseatic city of Lüneburg. Its hillside location, the adjacent nature reserve, the open and unobstructed view of nature, the mature trees, the pristine natural surroundings, and the location directly on the Ilmenau are its defining features.

Deutsch Evern is part of the collective municipality (Samtgemeinde) Ilmenau and offers all the everyday services one might need, such as groceries, bakeries, a pharmacy, a savings bank, hairdressers, etc. Deutsch Evern has two kindergartens and an elementary school. Secondary schools can be found in Embsen, the Samtgemeinde Ilmenau, and nearby Lüneburg. In addition, the neighboring village of Melbeck is home to the “Lüneburger Heide” high school, a private all-day school. Furthermore, the location is characterized by an attractive natural environment together with excellent transport connections to Lüneburg and the Hamburg metropolis. An HVV bus stop is located directly opposite.

+++

The neighborhood is predominantly residential, and all the aforementioned amenities are within a short distance. One can enjoy endless walks in the conveniently and easily walkable animal park (Tiergarten) or in the charming Ilmenau Valley immediately adjacent to the property. The collective municipality 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.
