A 6.9-Acre Equestrian Estate in Northern Germany
$5.1 MILLION (4.2 MILLION EUROS)
This equestrian property of traditionally fired brick with a regionally distinctive reed-thatched roof was built in 2000 in the town of Fredenbeck, about 40 miles west of Hamburg, in northern Germany.
Besides the three-bedroom, four-bathroom main house, the 6.9-acre property has a one-bedroom guesthouse and stable building with living quarters adjacent to a heated 43-by-16-foot swimming pool. A second stable building large enough for five horses has access to paddocks and a professional equestrian area, said Alexander Stehle, a managing partner at Hamburg Sotheby’s International Realty, which has the listing.
