Description

Nestled in an idyllic forest landscape, this exceptional property presents itself as a true refuge for nature lovers and individualists. Situated on a generous private woodland plot of approx. 16.516 m², this timber-framed house, listed as a historic monument, combines tranquility and absolute privacy with surprisingly central accessibility. The estate impresses with its unparalleled location—surrounded by mature trees and a picturesque pond, far from neighbors and everyday hustle and bustle. The charming timber-framed house tells its own story, dating back to the early 18th century. It once served an artist as a retreat and source of inspiration. In 1987/1988, the building was carefully restored and extended—the historic character was fully preserved in its substance and impact. The house offered here provides approx. 125 m² of living space. In addition, three rooms have been converted for residential use. On the ground floor there is a hallway, a guest WC, a practical kitchen, and a cozy dining room with a warm ambiance—ideal for sociable evenings with the family. Above the kitchen is a small gallery, perfectly suited as a snug study or reading nook. The spacious living room, with views of the enchanted pond and the property’s own woodland, impresses with its open, welcoming design and direct access to the idyllic inner courtyard. Adjacent is another generous room that can be used flexibly as a bedroom or office. From here you reach the beautiful terrace. In the lower part of the house are the rooms converted for residential purposes, two bathrooms, a small utility room, and the boiler room. The house is heated by an oil-fired heating system. All rooms are comfortably equipped with underfloor heating. The flooring consists mainly of tiles. A special highlight of the property is the separate outbuilding. Lovingly designed as a sauna and party house, it creates an extraordinary feel-good atmosphere. This characterful property with a very special flair is perfect for discerning buyers seeking something out of the ordinary and who appreciate the combination of nature, history, and exclusivity. An opportunity that rarely arises! Images in the Exposé may have been optimized or adapted using AI for illustrative purposes.

Location: Ratingen, North Rhine-Westphalia

The property is located in one of the finest residential areas on the outskirts of Düsseldorf—in the sought-after district of Ratingen-Hösel, nestled within the region’s scenic “green belt.” For decades, Hösel has been synonymous with refined, quiet living amid nature and is regarded as a prime address for anyone seeking to combine a close-to-nature quality of life with easy access to the city. The surroundings are characterized by spacious plots, well-maintained single-family homes, and many mature trees. A neighborhood with an established character, a strong social structure, and a particularly family-friendly environment. At the same time, the location impresses with excellent connectivity: Düsseldorf city center, the international airport, and the major cities of Essen, Duisburg, and Mülheim an der Ruhr can be reached comfortably within minutes—both by car and via the nearby S-Bahn station. Locally, Hösel offers outstanding infrastructure with everything needed for convenient everyday life: shops, a selection of restaurants and cafés, doctors of various specialties, pharmacies, banks, daycare centers, and a primary school are quickly accessible, many of them even within walking distance. The area also leaves nothing to be desired in terms of leisure. Numerous sporting options such as golf, tennis, and horse riding, as well as extensive walks and cycling tours in the countryside, provide a high recreational value right on the doorstep. A residential location that equally convinces with tranquility, closeness to nature, excellent accessibility, and an upscale living environment—an ideal place for people who do not want to compromise.
