Two Family House With Apartment On A Private Lane

Set on a private lane at the very edge of the building line in Eltville am Rhein, this contemporary villa faces open countryside on three sides. The garden ends at the Mühlbach, a small brook, and beyond it lies protected green space and a horse paddock — land that cannot be built on. The result is a rare guarantee in a region this sought-after: the view you buy is the view you keep.

Built in 2008 to an exceptional standard, the house delivers approximately 370 sqm of living space plus 130 sqm of additional usable area across three levels, all connected by a private in-house lift. Ceiling heights of 2.85 m give every room a sense of volume rarely found in German residential construction. Underfloor heating runs throughout; electric aluminium shutters and electric awnings over the large terraces handle light and privacy at the touch of a button.

The ground floor offers a four-room apartment of 145 sqm with two bathrooms, a fitted kitchen, and around 40 sqm of terraces opening directly onto the garden. The first floor, at approximately 135 sqm, holds three rooms, two bathrooms, a fitted kitchen, an open fireplace, and roughly 80 sqm of terraces and balconies framing a long, unobstructed view across the fields. The lower level contains four generous storage rooms, a technical room housing a 2023 installation of solar, air-source heat pump and floor-by-floor heating, and a self-contained guest apartment of about 30 sqm with its own bathroom and kitchen.

This layout suits several lives equally well: a single family spread across two floors, two generations living independently under one roof, or an owner-occupied level with the second producing rental income. Two garages, two open parking spaces and a planted green roof complete the property, which sits on a 640 sqm plot.

Eltville is the Rheingau’s rose town, a medieval settlement of climbing roses, cellar doors and an electoral castle on the Rhine. The surrounding slopes produce some of the world’s finest Riesling. Summer brings the Rheingau Musik Festival with more than 170 concerts staged at sites including Eberbach Abbey and Johannisberg Castle , the Whitsun wine festival in the vineyards, and Germany’s largest Sekt festival on the river promenade . Wiesbaden is 12 km away, Frankfurt Airport around 37 km — close to 40 minutes by car.

Price: EUR 2,250,000, including three fitted kitchens. Buyer’s commission 5% plus VAT.
