Co-living in a historic half-timbered house on the Itter river – ideal for individuals, featuring eco-friendly technology.

Live where Hilden originated: In the historic half-timbered house, built on the foundations of the Servatiushof, in a central location directly on the Itter stream, we offer a carefully designed co-living concept for individuals. The half-timbered house (16th century) features two bright rooms with direct access to the main entrance, a hallway, and a bathroom. The house combines historic architecture with modern, energy-efficient technology and is ideal for people who want to live consciously and sustainably. We offer for rent one of two separate living areas within the large house:
* A living area with 2 rooms on the ground floor. Each area forms its own self-contained living space and is ideal as a personal retreat for living, working, and relaxing. The historic half-timbered house is significantly different from the typical brick and concrete buildings of the past 200 years: Natural materials, visible wooden structures, and the structure of the house, which has developed over time, create a unique living atmosphere. This offering is unique and is best suited for individuals specifically seeking this particular style of living. Features & communal areas (Co-Living):
The living spaces are integrated into a co-living concept, where individual living areas are clearly defined and can be secured, but certain areas are intentionally shared.
o Fully equipped Miele kitchen with a dining area for communal use.
o Entrance hall with access to the garden, providing access to both the kitchen and the outdoor area.
o Communal garden with a seating area, market umbrella, shelter, and a small garden house.
o Miele washing machine and Miele dryer for shared use.
This co-living concept combines individual privacy in the living areas with intentionally shared spaces. It fosters a respectful and neighborly atmosphere, effectively combining independent living with the communal use of selected areas. Modern, environmentally friendly building technology:
Despite the historical structure, the house is operated in a modern and energy-efficient manner: o Heating and hot water provided by a modern heat pump.
o Primarily powered by electricity generated from photovoltaic panels.
As a result, the CO2 emissions for heating and hot water in this historic building are comparatively low. The combination of traditional construction and modern energy technology enables conscious, future-oriented living with a focus on sustainability.

It was built on the solid foundations of the original Servatiushof, whose origins date back to the 16th century. The combination of historical oak timber framing and the rubble foundations of the previous building creates a unique atmosphere and a special sense of permanence.
