luxury farmhouses for sale Lower Saxony, Germany

The Esbeck manor is nestled in the gently rolling hills of the Leinebergland, between the towns of Bad Gandersheim and Alfeld, in the municipality of Freden in the district of Hildesheim. The rounded estate combines agriculture, forestry and an attractive hunting estate on almost 100 hectares of land to form a rare unit in this form. The land stretches from the banks of the Leine at an altitude of around 97 meters up to the striking Selterklippen cliffs at 330 meters - an impressive elevation profile that gives the estate its special scenic character. Arable land, grassland, extensive stands of deciduous woodland and near-natural steep slopes alternate, creating a picture that is unparalleled in Lower Saxony. The estate comprises around 38 hectares of good quality arable land, which is leased to a local farmer, as well as around 5 hectares of grassland in the Leinen lowlands. By far the largest area is made up of around 57 hectares of forest, consisting mainly of valuable hardwood stands, which are professionally managed by a forestry association. A residential house with a garden plot and two residential units round off the property. As a private hunting estate, Rittergut Esbeck offers excellent conditions for hunting wild boar, roe deer and small game with a hunting area of around 120 hectares - including adjacent additional land. For buyers with an affinity for hunting, this is a unique selling point that can hardly be reproduced. As such, the manor is a member of the traditional Hildesheim Knighthood - a testimony to its historical roots in the region and an aspect that is of considerable sentimental value to a certain group of buyers. The area is extraordinarily scenic and, in addition to hunting, offers a wide range of opportunities for horse riding, hiking and experiencing nature. At the same time, the location is easily accessible: Bad Gandersheim and Alfeld can be reached in a few minutes, Hanover in under an hour.

Built in 1889 by the Counts von der Schulenberg, this former outbuilding is a very atypical farmhouse that is architecturally special and unique in this stand-alone location in the region. The current owners discovered this jewel a few decades ago and lovingly renovated it to its current splendor. The first floor with its natural stone façade comprises a boiler room, a workshop, the garage, a sauna, the boiler room with oil tanks and a former stable, which can be used either as a storage room, party room or as a horse stable again. The main apartment extends over the second floor with a breathtaking terrace overlooking meadows and woods. The apartment offers a library, a fully glazed living room, a bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a hunting room, the open plan kitchen adjoining the dining room. A spiral staircase leads from the living room to the second floor, where a spacious study or music room with far-reaching views can be set up. The house is therefore also suitable for writers, journalists or composers and musicians who need peace and quiet to write or play and want to reward their eyes with the green view. Fast internet is available thanks to the Starlink antenna. The second apartment is located on the second floor and can either accommodate guests or be rented out. Whether as a vacation home or for permanent tenants, perhaps for someone to look after the house and yard?

The surrounding area offers many leisure activities and the beautiful town of Bodenwerder with its Weser promenade is well worth a visit.
