About this house
Welcome to the brochure for this unique property.
A detached single-family house in a secluded location on the edge of the forest in Niedersprockhövel.
The property is suitable for a family with a maximum of 1 child (3 people).
The originally built single-family house was completely renovated in 2013. In particular, the property was renovated with a strong focus on the future, far beyond standard requirements and towards a passive house (a house with extremely efficient thermal insulation). There is no backlog of renovation work due to continuous maintenance and refurbishment; for example, a new liquid-gas heating system was installed in 2023 as a precaution in view of the Heating Act. The property is in exceptionally well-maintained top condition.
The single-family house has approximately 98m2 of living space on the ground floor and offers 3 rooms. The terrace measures approximately 30m2 and can be accessed from both the living room and the bedroom. The attic is used as storage space and has not been converted.
A gas heating system is used for heating; the liquid-gas tank is owned by the landlord.
The tenant can therefore supply themselves with heat/liquid gas. The house also has a biological small-scale sewage treatment plant and a fiber-optic connection.
In accordance with statutory regulations, the rental is expressly limited to a fixed term with an initial contract term of up to 4 years.
The property will be rented from 01.12.2026.
Pets by arrangement, possibly 1 small dog.
Several documents are required, such as a Schufa report, tenant self-disclosure form and proof of income. The net income of the prospective tenants should be at least 2.5 times the gross rent upon conclusion of the contract—as recommended by lending institutions.
Base rent: €1250.00
Additional/operating costs (2–3 people), excluding hot water/heating: €200.00
Heating costs: payable to the supplier, approximately €150.00
Electricity: (payable to the supplier, e.g. AVU): according to consumption
Garden/property maintenance, winter service, etc.: by the tenant/gardener (not included in operating costs)
Deposit: 3 months’ base rent / €3750.00
Please note in particular that the garden/property maintenance, winter service, etc. are currently carried out professionally by the tenants themselves and are therefore not included in the operating costs. Should these tasks be carried out by external companies in the future, the monthly operating costs would likely increase by approximately €300–400.
Fittings and features, as described
Energy certificate:
Since renovation, the property has been heated predominantly with the fireplace located in the living room; according to the tenants, consumption was about 3.5 m2 of split firewood per year. The gas heating was switched on only "occasionally" and therefore shows an average consumption (2013-2026) of about 476 liters of liquefied gas per year (approx. €300 / €25.00 per month). The energy certificate/consumption certificate, which shows the actual and not a theoretical consumption, is being prepared and is expected to indicate a final energy consumption of 113.0KW, efficiency class D.
