A Generous Equestrian Property Southeast of Hamburg
Just about an hour’s drive southeast from the bustling city of Hamburg, you’ll find a substantial property that’s clearly set up for a love of horses. This isn’t just a house with a bit of land; it’s an exclusive equestrian estate, complete with its own woodland and meadows. The land itself measures in at approximately 16,700 square meters, but if you’re looking for more room to roam, there’s the possibility to purchase additional land, potentially expanding the total area up to a considerable 30 hectares.
The Main Residence and Potential Living Areas
The primary residence offers a significant amount of space, with 572 square meters of living area. Beyond that, there’s also 111 square meters of usable space. For those who like to spread out or have expansion plans, there’s an additional 75 square meters of potential in the main building. On top of all this, the property includes a separate 70 square meter granny flat, providing independent living quarters. Tucked away by the staircase, you’ll also find a library and a gallery area, adding unique character to the home.

Facilities for Horse Enthusiasts
For the horses, the facilities are well-considered. A timber-framed barn provides 270 square meters of usable space, along with a 280 square meter hayloft. This barn is quite adaptable; it could be converted into a 15 by 15 meter riding arena, or it could accommodate at least 12 horse stalls. There’s also a 55 square meter outbuilding that has been fitted out as a hobby room, and a carriage house with 210 square meters dedicated to animal housing. For relaxation and enjoyment, a garden features ponds and a pavilion.
Riding and Training Spaces
The estate includes various open stables with sand paddocks, which are essential for horse turnout and exercise. There’s a natural riding arena measuring 20 by 40 meters, offering an outdoor training space. For those who prefer indoor riding, an indoor arena is available for use by arrangement in the nearby village, just 400 meters away. Specifically for Icelandic horses, there’s a small oval track that is 20 by 50 meters. Plans are also in place that allow for the construction of a riding arena, either 15 by 35 meters or a larger 20 by 40 meters, with the necessary permissions.
Additional Land and Property Options
The property offers several opportunities for further land acquisition, catering to different needs. Directly adjacent to the farm, there’s a two-story converted granary spanning 210 square meters, available for purchase on its own separate plot of land for EUR 390,000. If more land directly connected to the farm is desired, 9 hectares are available for EUR 220,000. For those who need extensive grazing areas, 18 hectares of pastureland located within the village can be purchased for EUR 540,000.
Versatile Potential Uses
This property presents a broad spectrum of possibilities for its next owner. It’s obviously ideal as a dedicated horse farm. However, its structure and size also lend themselves to being a spacious family home, or a property suitable for multi-generational living. The facilities could be adapted for a seminar or conference center, a therapy farm, or an educational center. Furthermore, there’s potential to convert parts of the property into guest rooms or holiday apartments, creating an income stream.
