About this house

This detached house, built in 1999 as an ecological low-energy home, combines well-conceived architecture, healthy building materials and timeless living quality across approximately 225 m² of living space. Set on a generous, established plot of approx. 1,062 m² in a quiet residential location, it is a home that was far ahead of its time—and still is today.

The timber-frame construction with cellulose and wood-fibre insulation panels, interior walls filled with clay and the consistently low-pollutant, diffusion-open construction method ensure a noticeably pleasant indoor climate. Exposed spruce-beam ceilings, ash parquet flooring and the distinctive clinker-brick and larch-wood façade give the house its unmistakable character.

The light-filled ground floor impresses with a spacious living and dining area with floor-to-ceiling windows and direct access to the garden, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and practical ancillary rooms. The converted attic floor offers three further rooms, an atelier with access to the balcony and a second bathroom, providing flexible space for family, guests or a home office.

In terms of energy efficiency, the house is excellently equipped: The gas central heating was renewed in 2022, supplemented by underfloor heating with individual room control, two wood-burning stoves and solar thermal energy for hot-water heating. A rainwater cistern with approx. 6,200 litres supplies the garden and toilet flushing. Sustainable by design, before it became standard.

The park-like garden with pond, rubble-stone walls, raised beds and fruit trees is a private retreat. A garage with green roof and storage room, as well as a garden shed, complete the offering.

A house for people who value substance, health and individuality.
The property is located in the established yet quiet residential area in the Loccum district of the town of Rehburg-Loccum, one of the region’s most historic addresses. The world-famous Loccum Cistercian Monastery characterises the area, as does the intact village community with a primary school, kindergartens, doctors, a pharmacy and shops for everyday needs, all just a few minutes away.

The quiet access-only street 8cul-de-sac) offers a safe environment for families, while nature begins right outside the front door: The Rehburg Hills, with their hiking and cycling trails, and Lake Steinhude, Lower Saxony’s largest inland lake with sailing areas, beaches and restaurants, can be reached in around ten minutes by car.

Despite the idyllic location, you are excellently connected: The regional centres of Stadthagen and Nienburg are located in within a comfortable commuting distance, you can reach the state capital Hanover with its airport and ICE connection in approximately 45 minutes. Minden and the Weser Uplands can also be reached quickly.

Here, rural quality of life, cultural heritage and recreational value come together to create a residential setting that is rarely found in this combination.
