1,196 m² building plot in the residential area of Isernhagen-Süd – opportunity to build a new single-family home on the edge of the forest

This property combines something that has become a rarity in Isernhagen-Süd: a large, mature plot of land on the edge of a forest, one of the best residential addresses in Hanover – and clear potential for a high-quality single-family or two-family home within the framework of the applicable development plan.

The approximately 1,196 m² plot currently features a timelessly designed architect-designed villa from around 1971 with around 160 m² of living space. The spacious living area with gallery, the large windows and the view of the garden bear the hallmarks of the architects of the time. However, the fixtures and fittings no longer meet today's standards; there is a clear need for modernization and adaptation.

The real value therefore lies in the property and its development potential:

Planning framework according to the development plan (summary):
– Pure residential area (WR) with single-family homes
– One full floor (Roman I) plus expandable attic (“half floor”) possible
– Maximum of two residential units per residential building
– Plot size approx. 1,196 m² (minimum size of building plots: 1,000 m²)
– Degree of structural use: GRZ approx. 0.2 and GFZ approx. 0.3
(→ for 1,196 m², approx. 239 m² maximum buildable floor space and approx. 359 m² permissible floor space)

This essentially results in three strategic options for buyers:

Modernization of the existing architect-designed villa
– Careful renovation of technology and furnishings
– Utilization of the unique floor plan and spacious garden location

Extension/conversion of the existing building
– A local architect has already developed a concept for an extension to a total of approx. 251.2 m² of living space
– ideal for buyers looking for an individual, spacious single-family home with a large garden

Replacement new build
– demolition of the existing building and construction of a high-quality single-family or two-family home
– ground floor plus converted attic within the specified eaves and ridge heights
– clear, contemporary architecture in an established villa neighborhood

Regarding pricing:
With a plot size of approx. 1,196 m², based on a standard land value of around €850/m², the indicative land value is approximately €1,016,600 – not including the value of the building. The asking price is therefore in line with the land value. For the buyer, this means that the large plot in a prime location is the main attraction; the existing building is an option, not an obligation.

Isernhagen-Süd is one of the most exclusive residential areas in the greater Hanover area. The neighborhood is characterized by spacious villas, extensive gardens, and an established, sophisticated community.

Shopping facilities, doctors, pharmacies, restaurants, and shops for everyday needs are just a short drive away. Several kindergartens and schools are located in the immediate vicinity, making the location attractive for families. Golf, tennis, and riding facilities are available in the surrounding area for leisure and sports.

The connection to Hanover city center is very good via tram line 13 as well as via expressways and highways. Hanover-Langenhagen Airport is also within easy reach.

The property itself is located at the end of a quiet residential street, directly adjacent to woods and green spaces. Large meadows, paddocks, and direct access to local recreation areas underscore the special character of this location.

Tree population & greenery
- Overgrown property with old trees
- According to the development plan, deciduous and coniferous trees above a certain trunk circumference must be preserved
- In practice, after consultation with the Parks Department and with the promise of suitable replacement plantings (e.g., ecologically valuable shrubs and trees), the felling of individual trees is usually possible if this is necessary for sensible new construction planning

*The buyer must clarify the specific eligibility for approval with the responsible building authority.

The particular strength of this offer lies in the combination of the villa location, plot size, and development potential.

The offer is aimed both at buyers who wish to modernize and extend the existing architect-designed villa and at those who see the plot primarily as a basis for a new build in a prime location in Isernhagen-Süd.

Important note on planning law:
All information regarding expansion, conversion, and new construction potential is based on the provisions of the development plan and on preliminary considerations by the owners and a local architect. No binding statement regarding buildability and approvability can be derived from this. The final review is the responsibility of the buyer in consultation with the relevant building authority (including the parks department with regard to tree population).
