Living in harmony with nature and architecture – exceptional property in Kuerten

This exceptional residential ensemble combines historic character, high-quality architecture and sustainable construction into a cohesive overall concept. In a quiet, outlying location within the municipality of Kürten, set in a protected landscape area, the property extends over approx. 11,000 m² and offers a high degree of privacy and close-to-nature living. The property comprises two connected residential units as well as a currently rented ancillary apartment with approx. 50 m² of living space. In total, approx. 251 m² of living space is available. The ensemble is complemented by a separate barn with an area of approx. 84 m². With the exception of the barn, the entire complex was comprehensively refurbished between 2001 and 2014 in a manner that preserved the building fabric. In 2014, the farmhouse was energy-optimized and fitted with ecological wood-fibre insulation, triple-glazed wooden windows handcrafted as bespoke pieces, new drainage systems and a highly thermally insulated roof covering. The barn already received new roof insulation in 2004 and features an in-roof photovoltaic system with 9.8 kWp. Heat is supplied via a central log-wood heating system with buffer storage, supplemented by wood-burning stoves. A biological small-scale sewage treatment plant with an associated planted filter system, as well as decentralized domestic hot-water production, complete the sustainable overall concept. Indoors, natural materials, high-quality joinery and a timeless design define the living ambience. Solid-wood and parquet floors, natural-stone surfaces, clay-plaster walls and open room sequences with galleries create a warm yet high-end atmosphere. The special focal point of the house is the spacious eat-in kitchen with custom-made solid-wood cabinetry and natural-stone worktops. The adjoining living area with gallery and large-scale glazing creates an open, light-filled sense of space with views of the surrounding nature. High-quality bathrooms and a wellness area with sauna complement the space on offer. The landscape-architecturally designed outdoor areas include terracing, paths, perennial and cottage gardens, a natural pond, mature trees and expansive meadow areas. Raised beds, open green spaces and options for keeping animals underscore the rural character of the property. A wood store and several parking options complete the overall offering. Overall, this is a property with special appeal and high-quality substance—ideal for people who value close-to-nature living and architectural clarity in an exceptional setting.
