Description
A haven nestled between a stream, mature trees, and expansive green spaces—this exceptional property in a prime location in Ratingen-Breitscheid combines the tranquility of a nature-filled retreat with the advantages of one of the most sought-after residential areas in the Düsseldorf region.
Set on a total lot area of 2,505 m², the property offers a rare combination of high-end living, architectural excellence, and exceptional privacy. In particular, the directly adjacent plot of approximately 1,107 m²—located within a landscape conservation area featuring mature trees, a stream, and unobstructed views of the countryside—gives the property its unique character.
Built in 1963, this country-style villa was extensively modernized by the owners between 2025 and 2026 with great care and architectural sophistication and is now in nearly mint condition.

More details
History & Architecture: This unique villa was designed and built in 1963 by Prof. Emil Fahrenkamp as a home for his own family. His architectural signature, still evident today, gives the property an extraordinary identity and clearly sets it apart from comparable properties. Prof. Emil Fahrenkamp is considered one of the most influential German architects of the 20th century. Among his best-known works is the Shell House in Berlin, built between 1930 and 1932, which is now regarded as an icon of classical modernism. In addition, he served as a professor and later as director of the Düsseldorf Art Academy and was responsible for numerous significant commercial, administrative, and residential buildings in the Rhineland, including the reconstruction of the historic Breidenbacher Hof in Düsseldorf. The architect’s Aachen roots are reflected in many details of this house. Characteristic materials from his home region continue to shape the building’s appearance to this day. For example, the windows and doors feature frames made of Belgian bluestone, while the living area retains a historic floor made of Aachen bluestone—a material that was also used in a similar form in Aachen Cathedral. Other authentic design elements underscore the home’s unique character. The terracotta tiles in the entryways are original and lend the hallways a timeless atmosphere. This architectural heritage is complemented by two impressive 18th-century entry doors; while their exact origin is not documented, they lend the property additional historical depth and individuality. Thus, the property uniquely combines architectural history, quality craftsmanship, and contemporary living comfort—a rare opportunity for lovers of exceptional homes with character and heritage.
