Small thatched-roof paradise from a private owner // A collector's item

An oasis of calm

The house is one of four existing former farm workers' houses built around 1900 with thatched roofs. The small cul-de-sac that ends at the house is on the north side of the house. The landscape conservation area extends to the west (development not permitted).

Inside
The eastern half of the house was completely gutted in the early 1980s and new (higher) half-timbered walls were raised inside, on which a new ceiling and roof construction rests. The three old outer walls were left standing.
The western half was demolished and rebuilt in the early 1990s and the outer walls were clinkered with old bricks. The renovation was carried out using organic materials.

On the ground floor, there is a checkroom and a visitors' WC at the entrance, a central hallway, an office room with a fireplace and a view and access to the garden, a guest room and a small bathroom.
The tiled stove is heated from the hallway, providing additional warmth for the two rooms downstairs and the bedroom upstairs on cold winter days.
The open, underfloor-heated living room with a kitchen block and a gallery above it generously occupies the western part of the house. An open fireplace invites you to spend cozy evenings by the fire.

From the gallery on the upper floor, a passageway with built-in wardrobes leads to the bedroom and the adjoining bathroom, above which there is a gallery with small skylights in the ridge.
Outside
The south-facing, enchanted garden is filled with birdsong and, depending on the season, chirping crickets and croaking frogs and offers a wide view over the adjacent meadows and fields, from where you can often hear cranes calling or see sea eagles circling. Surrounded by the scent of old and English roses, the bench under the pergola by the pond invites you to relax, read or chat, while the walnut and chestnut trees provide shade on hot days after sunbathing on the terrace. The cozy sunset dining area turns social gatherings into something special. There is a basketball court at the back of the large lawn.
The brick garage on the neighboring property boundary was built in 1983, while the former pigsty next to it serves as a wooden shed.

The Baltic Sea is 25 minutes away, Lübeck 30 minutes and Hamburg a good hour.

Leisure activities
On an estate in the immediate vicinity, music lovers can enjoy sophisticated music of various genres at events organized by the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival. In winter, an atmospheric Christmas market on the grounds heightens the festive anticipation for young and old.
Families have great fun every year at the nearby Karl May Festival or at pop concerts on the open-air stage.
In the wide, flat countryside, cyclists will find a tailwind on regional routes between meadows and fields or on the glistening Baltic Sea, which is just as inviting for swimming as the many bathing lakes. The nearest golf course is less than 10 minutes away.
The Hanseatic city of Lübeck with its medieval buildings in brick Gothic style offers a wide range of cultural activities and Hamburg, the 'gateway to the world' with all its attractions, is just over an hour away.

Connections
Primary and secondary schools can be reached by school bus. A small supermarket in a neighboring village offers groceries for daily needs and a post office. All the usual markets can be found in the district town (10 km) and in Lübeck (30 km). The highway access is 10 minutes away.
