Stunning Lakeside Estate In Wesel, North Rhine Westphalia

An evening barbecue in the outdoor kitchen, relaxing in the sauna right by the jetty, a plunge into the crystal-clear lake from your private dock or unwinding in the whirlpool with a view of the glass pyramid inspired by the Louvre in Paris – this unique estate offers countless ways to enjoy your time in these beautiful surroundings. How you choose to end the day in your new home is entirely up to you: live efficiently, relax in style – at the highest level.

This property is more than a house – it is a statement. A place where success and quality of life go hand in hand.

This extraordinary lakeside estate, accessed via an impressive private driveway, is set on more than 28,500 m² of landscaped grounds in a pristine natural environment with direct access to its own lake. Here you enjoy complete tranquillity and absolute privacy, while still within easy reach of the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region.

At the heart of the property stands a fully basemented main building, comprehensively gutted and lavishly refurbished in 2017–2018. Today it offers generous, elegantly designed living areas seamlessly combined with spacious, purpose-built office and ancillary zones – ideal for uniting an exclusive private residence with high-level business use. Finest materials, carefully curated finishes and state-of-the-art building technology are harmoniously coordinated throughout, creating a refined yet highly functional environment. An attached double garage with additional storage space provides ample room for vehicles, garden furniture and equipment for a wide range of outdoor activities.

Floor-to-ceiling glazing facing the garden and lake is fitted with sliding doors in all key rooms, opening onto expansive terraces and lounge areas by the koi pond and outdoor kitchen. The exterior spaces were completely redesigned as part of the renovation: behind the garage extension a covered terrace with multiple fire pits and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen creates the perfect setting for entertaining. A generous water feature runs from the house through the park-like grounds down to the lakeshore and private jetty, where a sandy bathing beach gives the property a distinctly resort-like feel.

A striking glass pyramid of around 40 m², inspired by the Louvre in Paris, sits just south of the main house. Built in 1995 and fully refurbished in 2018 (including new drainage and waterproofing), it features a glazed aluminium structure, underfloor heating, electricity and internet, and is currently used as a coaching space. Thanks to its thoughtful design and KNX Cat 7 connectivity, it is equally suited as an inspirational home office, studio or private retreat. Behind the pyramid, a timber garden building (2018) houses an outdoor gym installed in 2022, allowing you to integrate sport and wellness seamlessly into everyday life.

Directly on the lake, a timber sauna house completed in 2020 offers a terrace facing the water and an additional jetty – the perfect spot to cool off in the crystal-clear lake after a sauna session, or to end the day in complete peace. Together, the residence, office areas, wellness facilities and unique architectural highlights make this a truly one-of-a-kind estate for those who wish to live, work and relax at the highest level in the midst of nature.

► Location

Located on the Lower Rhine, the town of Wesel forms part of the greater Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region in North Rhine-Westphalia. Set between the Rhine and Lippe rivers and surrounded by several major cities, it offers excellent regional connectivity; Düsseldorf International Airport is around 45 minutes away by car, providing convenient access to European and intercontinental destinations.

The estate itself lies about 10 km north-west of Wesel’s centre, in an unspoilt rural setting characterised by meadows, fields and mature trees. Directly adjacent to the property are biodynamic (Demeter-certified) fruit orchards with a charming farm shop – one of the few signs of civilisation in an otherwise completely private landscape. There are no immediate neighbours or other buildings, allowing you to enjoy absolute tranquillity and discretion.

Even the approach to the estate is remarkable: a country lane lined with old trees, protected as a natural monument and spectacular in every season, creates a sense of arrival long before you reach the house. At the end of this avenue awaits your personal retreat – a secluded lakeside residence offering rare peace, space and privacy within easy reach of Düsseldorf and the wider Rhine-Ruhr region.
