Description
A Private Sanctuary in Minden’s Western Countryside
Set amidst the expansive meadows of western Minden, a two-winged wrought-iron gate opens to a secluded retreat of rare distinction. Spanning more than 25,000 m², this thatched-roof estate forms an architectural ensemble that beautifully unites tranquility, a profound connection to nature, and striking individuality.
An Estate Like Your Own Private Universe
Beyond the electric entrance gate lies a sheltered courtyard framed by the main residence, a picturesque thatched barn, and additional functional outbuildings. From the very first moment, the estate’s atmosphere is unmistakably unique—generous, private, completely hidden from view, and shaped by traditional materials that blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape.
The main house offers approx. 405 m² of living space, complemented by a self-contained guest apartment of around 56 m². The architectural concept is defined by clear sightlines, generous ceiling heights, and an uninterrupted relationship with the outdoors. From the entrance hall, the ground floor unfolds into a spacious living and dining area with sweeping views across the meadow landscape, a welcoming country kitchen, a guest room, and a primary suite with dressing room—alongside bright living spaces framed by classic mullioned windows.
Country House Architecture at its Finest
Throughout the home, large doorways, traditional wooden sash windows, and beautifully modulated natural light create a warm and timeless atmosphere. Multiple terraces offer outdoor retreats at every hour of the day, while a charming thatched garden pavilion provides another peaceful hideaway.
In summer, daily life extends naturally to the various outdoor seating areas; in cooler seasons, two fireplaces provide a comforting, inviting ambience indoors.
Privacy at Every Level
The upper floor opens with a gallery overlooking the main living area. Several rooms—ideal for children, guests, or dedicated workspaces—offer exceptional flexibility, while an additional approx. 57 m² presents further expansion potential.
The self-contained apartment may be accessed independently or through the main residence, making it perfectly suited for guests, an au-pair, or as a private home office.

The owners have invested continuously in the modernization of the estate. These upgrades include:
Photovoltaic system (approx. 21 kWp, installed 2013) Modern pellet heating system (2013) Underfloor heating on the ground floor High-quality wooden windows, newly lacquered in 2017 Custom carpentry work in various areas Well-maintained horse stable with versatile usage potential
