"More than a home - experience life quality in Feng Shui style"

The attractive, detached 5.5-room single-family house was built in 2009 in wood element construction on a pile foundation. The minimally designed building was expanded according to Feng Shui, with a special focus on a healthy and natural living climate - harmony and well-being for all residents are guaranteed. The garage with an additional loft has a lot of storage space and offers enough space for a passenger car. The wooden building was made 100% from sustainable materials, which protects the environment and creates a pleasant, natural atmosphere inside. With a generous net living area of 215 m², it offers enough space for the whole family and enables comfortable living on several levels. The property includes a total of 457 m², which provides enough space for a garden, terrace, or other outdoor areas to enjoy leisure time outdoors. The interior design is rustic, modern, and contemporary, with the builders placing particular emphasis on a healthy living climate. The floor coverings with oak parquet and linoleum, as well as the naturally finished wall and ceiling elements, round off the natural and healthy living climate. The house has a bathroom and a separate toilet, both equipped with high-quality and functional sanitary facilities. A electric boiler is installed for hot water supply. The single-family house has a centrally located heating stove (log wood), which, together with a second stove on the upper floor, provides the rooms with warmth. The solar collectors contribute to the preparation of hot water. Thanks to the very good insulation of the compact building, low ancillary costs are guaranteed. For vehicles, a garage and an additional parking space are available, so there are enough parking possibilities for vehicles. Overall, this house combines comfort, functionality, sustainability, and attractive architecture in a quiet and yet well-connected location.
