About this dream house

Property Description

A dream home for nature lovers and individualists! This former forestry house awaits you in an unobstructed single location directly at the edge of the forest. The representative estate combines the unmistakable character of North German architecture with generous space and an idyllic 2,479 sqm plot surrounded by nature on three sides. An ideal retreat for nature lovers, promising maximum privacy.

The well-kept ensemble captivates with its characteristic architecture: it consists of two historic building sections with classic half-timbering and typical North German red brick under a traditional, charming thatched roof. In the early 1980s, these two original buildings were harmoniously connected by a tasteful central section. As part of this extension, the connecting building was also basemented, creating valuable additional storage space of around 40.8 sqm.

With a total living area of approx. 207 sqm, the property offers flexible usage options. The forestry house is currently cleverly divided into two separate residential units:

•Right half of the house (apartment 1) (main apartment): Approx. 116.6 sqm of living space
This apartment has a large eat-in kitchen with seating area., a large living room with fireplace, as well as three additional rooms that allow for a variety of uses. In addition to the bathroom with shower on the upper floor, there is a small guest WC on the ground floor. From the fireplace and living room you have a wonderful view of the expansive garden.

•Left half of the house (apartment 2): Approx. 81.4 sqm of living space
In addition to a kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom, this apartment has an converted loft with a view of the spacious garden – ideal as a generous home office or for renting to holiday guests.

The loft located in apartment 2 is shown in the area calculation as usable area (floor area 20.6 sqm), as it does not meet the requirements for living space due to ceiling height and sloping walls.
In addition, apartment 2 has approx. 20.2 sqm of usable space in the basement.

Both residential units were only separated later and can be reunited into a spacious single-family home with a total of around 200 sqm of living space plus 40.8 sqm of usable space.

Whether as a representative family residence or as a combination of living and working close to the coast – this thatched forestry house is a rare opportunity on the property market, which theperfectly combines historic charm and pure nature.

Furnishing

The property has been continuously modernized and renovated and is in a well-kept condition. Apartment 1 is occupied by the owner, apartment 2 is currently vacant and is not rented out. In apartment 2, the bathroom was converted several years ago; the room is currently in shell condition. This enables the new owners to design the layout or the bathroom according to their own wishes.

Location

Location description

Nestled in the gentle hilly landscape of East Holstein between Weissenhäuser Strand and the Baltic Sea resort of Grömitz lies this thatched-roof estate with unmistakable character. The charming location is distinguished by its family-friendly, green surroundings and is a paradise for nature and sports enthusiasts. The adjoining, extensive forest lies directly on the doorstep and invites you to take long walks, hikes, and bicycle tours.

Despite its idyllic secluded setting, the Baltic Sea is only around ten kilometers away – whether Weissenhäuser Strand or the Baltic Sea resort of Grömitz – so spontaneous trips to the beach after work are no problem. The central towns of Lensahn and Oldenburg in Holstein ensure seamless infrastructure. Here you will find kindergartens, primary and community schools, a grammar school and a Waldorf school as well as all schools, daycare centers, doctors, and a wide range of shopping options, all reachable in just a few minutes by car.

Thanks to the fast connection to the A1 motorway, larger cities such as Lübeck, Hamburg, or Kiel are also conveniently accessible. The Danish metropolis of Copenhagen can be reached in approx. 2.5 hours by car once the Fehmarn Belt Tunnel is completed.

This residential location therefore offers the perfect center of life for people seeking relaxed country living close to the sea, but who do not want to give up the accessible culture and comfort of a city.
