Traunsee: See Feeling Combining Lodge Charm And A Marina

When rigging gently chimes against the masts … a sense of lake, summer and “wind in your face” comes naturally. This unique property embodies precisely that feeling of life – with Traunkirchen’s yacht harbour virtually at its doorstep. The steep terrain has been expertly integrated into an overall concept of “indulgence & relaxation”: nestled into the hillside are the lovingly renovated main house, a charming sauna halfway up … and, quite literally “on top”, a summer pavilion with a fully equipped HAKA kitchen, WC and shower. A dedicated plateau creates the perfect setting for long lunches and barbecues – with the lake and Traunstein always within reach. Access is via an elaborate granite-paved driveway leading to a prestigious forecourt; a solid double-leaf gate provides privacy and security. The main house is a remarkable example of what can be created from a former derelict property: restored with meticulous attention to detail, it has become an exceptional lakeside retreat in alpine lodge style. The approx. 90 m² of living space are arranged as follows: The ground floor centres around the open-plan living, kitchen and dining area with open fireplace and access to the fully covered east-facing terrace with lake views. A pantry, guest WC and utility room complete this level. A rustic masonry staircase with solid timber steps leads to the cosy upper floor, comprising two children’s/guest bedrooms, the master bedroom and bathroom. The latter enjoy morning sun, lake views and a shared east-facing balcony. The master bedroom also features a breakfast loggia with outdoor kitchen and open fireplace. What could be more beautiful than enjoying your first coffee of the day overlooking your own boat? On the western side, an approx. 17 m² wine cellar has been stylishly integrated into the hillside. The property comprises two almost equal-sized building plots. For the currently undeveloped plot, an agreement with the Province of Upper Austria is already in place permitting the potential creation of a separate access road, subject to the specified conditions.
