This exceptional single-family residence in Eschenbach (Upper Palatinate) pairs refined living with modern self-sufficiency, comfort, and privacy on a carefully landscaped 975 m² plot in a quiet edge-of-town setting. Built in 2011 and meticulously maintained, the home is move-in ready and designed for long-term efficiency and flexibility. With 194.45 m² of living space across two floors plus a fully finished, dry basement with its own exterior entrance, the layout can be adapted into two independent units; the ground floor is fully barrier-free, enhancing accessibility and multigenerational living options.
Craftsmanship and durability are evident in the solid construction: 24 cm Poroton masonry, 10 cm external insulation, ventilated cavity, and a 12 cm clinker-brick façade; reinforced concrete floors; double-insulated roof with 25 cm rafter insulation; and triple-glazed windows with electric shutters and insect screens. Comfort is reinforced by underfloor heating and a water-bearing pellet stove, with a heat pump as the primary system. Mechanical supply-and-extract ventilation in the living area further improves air quality.
Energy autonomy is a standout: two photovoltaic systems totaling 18.46 kWp and a 16 kWh battery storage support near off-grid living and help control operating costs. Comprehensive connectivity includes cable internet up to 1,000 MBit/s and hardwired network points in every room. Numerous enhancements between 2012 and 2025—such as an elegant “summer garden” with electric shading, upgraded PV technology, and garden lighting with LED spots—underscore the home’s ongoing modernization.
The ground floor centers on a welcoming vestibule and hall leading to an open-plan living/dining zone (24.84 m²) with pellet stove and direct access to a generous 32.56 m² terrace overlooking the inner courtyard. A contemporary island kitchen with Neff appliances, also opening to the terrace, is included in the sale. A separate dining room (16.33 m²) flexes as a guest room or office. A well-appointed family bathroom offers a barrier-free 120×120 cm rain shower, bathtub, towel radiator, and urinal; a guest WC completes this level.
Upstairs, a bright landing connects four versatile rooms and a luxurious bathroom with walk-in rain shower, bathtub, bidet, urinal, and towel radiator. Two bedrooms (16.10 m² and 14.08 m²) complement a generous study (21.79 m²). A second fitted kitchen (17.75 m²), included in the purchase price, supports conversion to a separate flat or extended family arrangements. Enhanced roof insulation stabilizes temperatures and improves energy performance.
The fully finished basement adds significant living and utility value: two heated rooms with daylight (16.33 m² and 24.52 m²)—one outfitted as a gym with infrared sauna and solarium—plus a dedicated bathroom, laundry, technical room, workshop, and storage areas. “White-tank” waterproof concrete ensures a consistently dry, comfortable environment. A direct door to the courtyard streamlines daily routines.
Outdoors, professional landscaping creates a private, resort-like feel: stone walls, a covered, paved courtyard, diverse plantings, greenhouses, a masonry pizza oven with fireclay dome, and a covered fire pit establish inviting spaces for year-round entertaining. About 70 m² of outbuildings with four rooms and three-phase power suit workshops, hobbies, or storage. A double garage with electric sectional doors, water, and three-phase power plus two forecourt spaces handle vehicles and projects with ease.
With schools and essential amenities in town, this rare property harmonizes high build quality, advanced technology, flexible space planning, and tranquil outdoor living—an ideal, future-proof home.
