Some houses are not found – they find you. This former forester’s estate dating from 1922 is situated in a genuinely secluded location on the edge of the Eifel National Park: surrounded by forest and meadows, with its own stream and a larger ornamental pond on the completely fenced 2,373 m² plot.
For families, this means space that would be unaffordable in the city. Nine rooms, a kitchen and two bathrooms on approx. 220 m², a garden where children can truly be children, forest and hiking trails right outside the door – and yet schools, kindergartens, doctors and shopping facilities can all be reached within a few minutes. The flexible layout also makes the house ideal as a multigenerational home or for communal living – whether with grandparents under one roof or as a shared home for friends.
For anyone looking for an alternative to city life, the estate is a true retreat: absolute peace and quiet, historic substance with character – and, thanks to fibre-optic internet, a fully equipped home-office workplace. Cologne, Bonn and Aachen are easily accessible for appointments; Belgium and the Netherlands are practically around the corner.
A HIGH DEGREE OF INDEPENDENCE
The modern ETA log-wood heating system (2023) provides independence from gas and electricity prices – firewood is supplied by the surrounding area, and the outbuilding offers ample storage space. A fully functional second heating system is provided by an oil heating system (2019) with its own reserves (double-walled WERIT safety tanks, 2019, specialist installation including approval). Those who wish can heat here autonomously for years. At the same time, the estate is fully connected to utilities (public water supply, sewerage) – by no means a matter of course in secluded locations. Adjacent pastures can be leased – for keeping animals, an orchard meadow or a self-sufficient garden.
