Welcome to Gut Rosendal – a listed gem in the midst of an idyllic natural landscape. This exclusive property combines historic charm with contemporary elegance and offers the highest level of living comfort in a unique atmosphere. The historic half-timbered house was originally built in 1629 and served as a classic manor house for centuries. In 2012, the property was renovated in accordance with historic preservation guidelines. The project received the Rhineland-Westphalia State Prize for Historic Preservation 2014/2015 for this exemplary restoration. In addition, an adjacent barn building was converted into a high-quality, modern residential building. The two properties are separate in the land register and can be used independently of each other. Main house: The half-timbered house, built in 1629, was extensively renovated between 2011 and 2013, preserving its historic charm and combining it with modern living comfort. With approximately 400 m² of living space, it offers spacious room structures and stylish furnishings. In the entrance hall, you will find a historic wooden staircase that cleverly integrates a cloakroom and guest WC. The spacious kitchen exudes a welcoming atmosphere for cooking and socializing and impresses with its exposed wooden beams combined with high-quality materials and modern appliances. The living and dining area in the extension impresses with panoramic sliding windows that offer a view of the extensive grounds with several small lakes and provide access to the large terrace. A solid fireplace stylishly separates the living and dining areas. The basement of the extension comprises a fitness room, a guest room, a bathroom, and a laundry room. The original vaulted cellar is ideal as a wine cellar. A cozy TV and study room with a wood-burning stove completes the ground floor. Upstairs, there are four flexible rooms that can be used as bedrooms, children's rooms, guest rooms, or studies, as well as a modern shower room. The attic houses the spacious master suite with bedroom, dressing room, and luxurious bathroom. Exposed roof beams give the rooms a welcoming atmosphere. The nearly 20,000 m² property impresses with five small lakes, some of which can be used for swimming, and several terraces with direct lake views. A private jetty on the water invites you to relax. Detached annex: The former barn was converted into a stylish single-family home in 2012/13 and offers rustic charm combined with modern living comfort on approximately 230 m² of living space. The light-flooded living area with exposed wooden beams and generous ceiling height forms the heart of the house. The living and dining area with fireplace invites you to spend cozy hours, and the open kitchen is equipped with modern appliances. A separate room on this level is suitable as a guest room or study.
