About this house

Stylish residential property with a large plot and unique garden house in an excellent location in Bad Herrenalb, built in 1876

Immo Paradise 8730c448 36f99ffa 468576#61
The residential property, built in 1876 in the tasteful "Swiss spa style," is located in the Falkensteingelände area of the internationally renowned spa town of Bad Herrenalb. On one side, this location directly borders the idyllic hiking area around Mauzen Mountain; on the other side, it is only a few minutes’ walk to Bad Herrenalb’s beautiful spa promenade. Nestled in park-like grounds, this is a unique residential idyll. The surrounding properties in this residential area are likewise characterized by open-plan development and extensive green spaces.

The spa town of Bad Herrenalb also offers excellent recreational value through its wide range of cafés, restaurants, the renowned Sieben-Täler-Therme spa, and numerous activities in the beautiful natural surroundings found around the town.

This listed property also has much to offer from a historical perspective. Built by the renowned municipal architect Schnaitmann, the property initially passed into the possession of the painters von Kleudgen, who also erected a garden house of unique design on the grounds, which still stands there today. The house’s second owner was Baron von Reck, after whom the property was known for many years as "Villa Reck." In 1918, ownership of the property passed to Privy Councillor Dr. Bartning, the grandfather of the present owner, and it has remained in the family ever since.

Despite its idyllic location, the house enjoys excellent transport connections. Bad Herrenalb railway station can be reached within a few minutes on foot. Shopping facilities for all everyday needs are also only a few minutes’ walk away, and larger grocery shopping can be done quickly and conveniently by car at the supermarkets on the outskirts of town. Regional destinations, such as the nearest larger cities of Karlsruhe, Gernsbach, Baden-Baden, and Rastatt, can also be reached quickly and easily via well-developed transport routes, both by private car and public transport (Karlsruhe light rail connection).

This is reinforced, among other things, by the unobstructed views from almost all rooms of the house. The rooms on the attic floor have hardly any sloping ceilings and are therefore exceptionally easy to furnish.
