One Of Essen’s Most Extraordinary Private Residences

There are locations that are sought after. And there are locations that defy comparison. This extraordinary property sits on an approximately 5,006 m² park-like plot in one of Essen’s most exclusive residential areas. From here, an unparalleled panorama unfolds: unobstructed views across the forests and valleys of the Ruhr region. A place where landscape, light and architecture merge into one.

From the outset, one goal was central to the planning of this villa, built in 2011: every room was to make the exceptional location tangible. The predominantly south-facing architecture opens onto the landscape through generous expanses of glass. Sunlight floods the rooms, while large-format folding glass doors create an almost seamless connection between the living areas, terraces and garden.

With approximately 522 m² of living space, the villa combines generosity with timeless elegance. Long sightlines, impressive ceiling heights and a well-conceived floor plan create an ambience that is both prestigious and welcoming. Custom-built fitted furniture, high-quality materials and an exclusive solid-wood kitchen define the home.

A total of eleven rooms are available, including at least five bedrooms. A separate guest area offers a wide range of possible uses—for family, guests, staff or multigenerational living.

The outdoor area resembles a private landscaped park. Natural stone walls, spacious terraces, extensive lawns and a fountain irrigation system create an exceptional setting. Particularly attractive is the theoretical possibility of dividing the plot at a later date.

Another highlight is the detached orangery. With underfloor heating, a high-quality kitchenette and fully opening folding glass doors, it is ideal for guests, celebrations, fitness, wellness or creative work. The property is complemented by a separate log cabin with WC and heating.

The property also sets high standards in terms of technology. Sustainable ground-source energy using separate heat-pump systems for heating and hot water ensures high energy efficiency. Comprehensive security features, a prepared elevator shaft, five garages and at least five additional parking spaces underscore the exceptional standards of this property.

This villa is not defined by its square footage or amenities. It is defined by its unique location. By the tranquillity. By the light. By the feeling of being far above everyday life. A property for people who do not seek the extraordinary—but expect it.

Among the most exclusive residential locations are those where privacy, nature and urbanity come together in a unique way. This is precisely what defines this exceptional location in southern Essen. Situated at an elevated and tranquil position, the property enjoys one of the city’s most impressive panoramic views. The vista extends far across the wooded slopes of the Ruhr Valley, conveying an extraordinary sense of openness and freedom in every season. The area’s distinctive topography allows nature and views to be experienced at a quality found only very rarely, even in Essen.

Spacious plots, prestigious villas and an established neighbourhood characterise the immediate surroundings. The development is low-density, high-quality and embedded in abundant greenery – a residential setting offering peace and discretion while remaining excellently connected. The surrounding forests, hiking trails and walking paths begin practically at the doorstep, inviting residents to enjoy extended walks, sporting activities or relaxing hours in nature.

At the same time, Essen city centre, Bredeney, Werden and numerous renowned golf clubs, equestrian facilities and leisure amenities can be reached within just a few minutes by car. The excellent accessibility further enhances the appeal of this location: the A52 motorway junction is in the immediate vicinity, providing quick connections throughout the Rhine-Ruhr region without compromising the property’s exceptional tranquillity.

Düsseldorf Airport can be reached in just 18 minutes by car, offering ideal conditions for international travel. Local public transport is also conveniently accessible: bus stops with direct connections to the city centre and Kettwig are within walking distance. Road connections leave nothing to be desired either. Düsseldorf and the entire Rhine-Ruhr region can be reached quickly via the nearby A52, A40 and A44 motorways.

This location therefore combines close-to-nature living with the advantages of one of Germany’s economically strongest metropolitan regions in a truly special way. Kindergartens, excellent schools, shops for everyday needs and a wide range of restaurants are also conveniently close by, further highlighting the high quality of life this location offers.

This is one of those rare addresses that impresses not only through its exclusivity, but above all through the lifestyle it conveys: absolute tranquillity, breathtaking panoramic views and the privilege of waking up every day to an incomparable panorama.
