The Arrival

Even the driveway to the property changes the mood.

The path leads gently uphill through nature along a soft mountain road. With every curve, the distance from everyday life grows until the gate finally opens, revealing this special estate. The house in sight, your own horses on the surrounding pastures, and behind them forest and nature—already upon arrival, it becomes clear what makes this property so unique: home, animals, and landscape form a shared living space here. A retreat full of peace, openness, and atmosphere.

Water, light, and natural materials shape this place and create a special connection between house and landscape. Already in the entrance area, sunlight meets warm wood, glass surfaces, and the elegant metal staircase. The extraordinary stone floor from an Indian temple adds depth to the house, while the foyer and staircase are designed according to Feng Shui principles.

A property that radiates calm, creates balance, and grounds in its own unique way.

An Estate That Combines Character and Elegance

On about 190 m² of living space, a home unfolds that uniquely combines retreat and communal living. Over decades, the estate has been carefully modernized and enhanced with high-quality details without losing its authentic character.

Today, the property blends historic substance with warm architecture, generous rooms, and natural materials that give the entire house an exceptionally calm and high-quality aura. Light, wood, and the consciously designed spatial effect create an atmosphere that feels open, harmonious, and secure at the same time.

The centerpiece of the ground floor is the spacious country kitchen—open, inviting, and made for shared moments. The large dining table forms the heart of the kitchen, providing space for long evenings, conversations, good food, and people who matter. Directly behind, a separate pantry or storage room complements the kitchen area in a particularly stylish way. A retreat to prepare in peace, work, or welcome guests with small details and special moments.

The ground floor bathroom also fits harmoniously into the living concept. Two sinks, walk-in shower, toilet, and natural materials create an atmosphere that feels less like a classic living space and more like a private boutique retreat.

On the upper floor, calm and generosity continue. Here are two spacious bedrooms, each with its own connection to the surrounding nature. One bedroom opens onto two balconies with views of the greenery and the quietly babbling brook—two sheltered spots to start the morning outside or end the day peacefully.

The second bedroom is filled with plenty of daylight through large skylights and features a custom-made workspace made of Styrian walnut. From here, a direct exit leads to the terrace with a whirlpool, allowing indoor and outdoor areas to flow almost seamlessly together.

A separate toilet and a discreetly integrated storage room elegantly complete the upper floor.

The Horses Where Your Home Is

For horse owners, this estate takes on an even deeper meaning. The real luxury here is not just the peace, architecture, or openness, but the ability to keep your own horses directly on your property.

Up to five horses can be accommodated here. Two spacious pastures are fully enclosed with electric fences, and the associated fence devices are included. Three heated water troughs, an electrically adjustable horse solarium, the heated tack room, and the approximately 30 × 15 m multi-layered riding arena provide infrastructure tailored to daily life with horses. A well-thought-out ground structure with drainage and integrated magnesium chloride supports year-round usability and helps keep the footing usable longer even in winter temperatures.

Additionally, there is a pasture tent and a spacious barn offering valuable space for hay bales, equipment, and agricultural machinery. The telescopic loader T4512 included in the purchase price fits perfectly into this well-planned management.

This opens up a rare freedom: no daily trips to a boarding stable, no boarding costs for multiple horses, and above all the possibility to manage care and keeping according to your own ideas. The desire for a small private horse breeding also finds interesting conditions here—subject to the necessary official regulations.

A home where life with horses is not separate but belongs.

The Outdoor Area—Retreat with a View of Your Own Animals

With the first step outside the house, the atmosphere changes again. Water, nature, and architecture merge into an outdoor area that is designed with high quality yet naturally integrated into the landscape.

The swimming pool with counter-current system, built in 2021, together with the whirlpool, outdoor shower, and barrel sauna, forms a private retreat in the middle of the greenery. A special architectural detail is the automatically sliding terrace that elegantly moves over the pool, combining design with function.

Perhaps it is especially from the barrel sauna that the essence of this estate becomes clear: The view extends into the greenery and to your own horses or alpacas. Living, nature, animals, and retreat are not in separate places here but part of one and the same home.

Automatic irrigation and lighting systems blend almost invisibly into the overall picture. Raised beds, fruit trees, agricultural land, private forest, and the gently babbling brook complete this extraordinary outdoor space.

Own Spring and Thoughtful Water Supply

A special feature of the property is the own spring on private land that supplies the estate with drinking water quality water. The spring water is first collected in a storage basin and then pumped into another storage basin about 30 meters higher. From there, it flows back to the property by natural pressure, supplying the residential house as well as the troughs and other animal areas.

This system is complemented by a ring pipeline around the property that controls water distribution within the grounds. Several connection points already exist—among others in the pasture areas. This infrastructure offers interesting possibilities for future uses or expansions of the estate without needing extensive new development of the land.

The automatic irrigation of the outdoor areas operates independently: water is taken from the own stream using pumps and used for watering the green areas. The spring itself remains reserved for supplying drinking water quality.

Plenty of Space for Life with Animals

Beyond horses, the estate offers space for a life where animals naturally belong. Dogs, cats, alpacas, goats, or chickens also find their place here; parts of the large barn were recently used for cat breeding. The combination of seclusion, two fenced pastures, agricultural land, private forest, barn, water, and existing infrastructure makes this property much more than a beautiful house in the countryside.

It is a place for people who want to live in high quality and at the same time dream of having their animals, especially their horses, close by.

A Place That Lasts

Not every home leaves a feeling.
This estate does.

Maybe it’s the warm summer evenings, the colorful autumn days, the snowy quiet of winter, or the blooming spring. Or perhaps it’s the special freedom of connecting life with horses directly to your own home.

A property for people that gives freedom, creates balance, and endures.
