The Property

Property Description

IF I COULD SPEAK ...

I am not an off-the-shelf house. I am a farmhouse with history, character, and possibilities. For many decades, I have stood in the heart of Hilscheid and have seen generations come and go. My solid sandstone walls, about 60 centimeters thick, still give me stability and a special presence that cannot simply be built.

With around 144 m² of living space and a total of eight rooms, I offer plenty of space for family, hobbies, working from home, or new ideas. My property covers about 4,000 m², complemented by additional agricultural land, which is ideal for horses, goats, sheep, or other animals. Here, dreams of country living can become reality.

In recent years, much has already been done for my future. The last renovation took place in 2021, with further modernizations carried out in 2022. Parts of my electrical system were renewed, a new fuse box installed, and even preparations made for a future solar system. My Atmos wood gasification heating system from 2013 provides cozy warmth. At the same time, I am equipped with a fiber optic connection, combining rural tranquility with modern infrastructure.

I am particularly proud of my versatility. In addition to my living spaces, I have a separate area with its own entrance. This could be used for a village shop, farm shop, or direct marketing. There is already interest in this project and a possible cooperation with the local association. Those who want to combine living and working will find exceptional opportunities here.

My roofs also offer prospects. Part of the roof was renewed in 2023, it is covered with genuine slate, and my attic is waiting to be possibly converted into additional living space one day. My garage offers space for two vehicles, and my cellar and utility rooms provide extra storage.

Sure, I am not perfect. Some people might say I need renovation. I see it differently: I am a house that still leaves room for my new owners to bring in their own ideas, wishes, and visions. Instead of a sterile new build, you get character, history, and development potential with me.

If you want to look out over your own pastures in the morning, keep animals right by the house, perhaps run a small village shop, and at the same time enjoy the peace of the Hunsrück, then I could be exactly the home you have been looking for.

I look forward to writing the next chapter of my story together with you.

Location

The property is located in Hilscheid, a district of the municipality of Thalfang and part of the national park community in the Hunsrück-Hochwald National Park. The well-known hiking trail “Lecker Pfädchen” runs within walking distance. In connection with the regional initiative “Ebbes von Hei,” there is interesting potential here for self-service stations with regional products. According to the owner, there is already interest and a possible cooperation with the municipality for a corresponding project.

The main house offers a total of 5 rooms, kitchen, bathroom, and a former retail space. The outbuilding contains a separate granny flat with its own entrance, consisting of 2 rooms, kitchen, and bathroom. Neither bathroom has a direct daylight window.

The farm is particularly suitable for animal keeping and self-sufficiency. The property is already fenced, an open stable with a large paddock as well as finished chicken coops are available. Chickens, goats, sheep, horses, and other animals find ideal conditions here. Hay can be obtained from farmers in the village; a year’s supply of hay bales can be stored in the large barn, with plenty of additional space for workshop, storage, or wood processing.

A stream running through the property allows irrigation of plants and supply of animals. The creation of a pond is also conceivable. The property is complemented by a large orchard with apple, cherry, plum, mirabelle, walnut trees, and numerous berry bushes.

The property features a modern, app-controlled smart home system via Google Home. Outdoor lighting, yard and stable areas, as well as water supply in the outdoor area can be conveniently controlled via smartphone. Integrated camera surveillance provides additional security and also allows remote monitoring of the yard and animals.

Despite the historic character, the building impresses with bright rooms and pleasant ceiling heights. A large smoke chimney stove in the attic emphasizes the original charm of the farm. Historically, the property was the residence and workplace of the former mayor for many years, who held his office hours in the retail space.

The property also offers versatile possibilities for wood enthusiasts and craft use: storage of entire logs, own processing, and commercial use are conceivable. Truck delivery to the property is possible.

The village itself offers an active community life with a sports field, football club, volunteer fire department, village association, and numerous traditional events. Shopping facilities are available in nearby Thalfang and Hermeskeil. Hilscheid itself offers farm shops with regional products.

The surrounding area is touristically attractive: The Erbeskopf, the highest mountain in Rhineland-Palatinate, belongs to the location, offering a ski area, summer toboggan run, and numerous recreational opportunities. At the same time, the village is quiet without significant through traffic, despite good connection to the B 327 / Hunsrückhöhenstraße.

Note: Information on possible additional development in the upper part of the property as well as measurements in the floor plans must be checked separately before conclusion.
