Land & Gut: Arrondiertes Gut In Städtischer Alleinlage In Gmunden

Property Description:

In the heart of the city of Gmunden lies an estate of extraordinary history and brilliance: the Gut – once part of the Schloss Cumberland estate, it was closely connected to the House of Hanover for decades and served as a supply operation for the ducal family. Today, it is a lovingly maintained rural and farm idyll in a secluded urban location. In 1954, Queen Friederika of Greece and Prince Ernst August of Hanover sold the estate to the current owner family, who carefully expanded the historic ensemble into a manor farm and have lovingly maintained it to this day.

The approach alone is an experience: via idyllic country roads, you reach the estate, pass through an archway, and follow a private natural road that leads across the grounds to the farm complex. Over the years, among other additions, a stable wing with expansion potential, a manager’s and an employee apartment, a guest house, a garage, a private chapel, a library, a stylish knights’ hall, and a dedicated pool wing for year-round use have been created.

The original character of the farm has always been preserved – visible in the traditional architectural forms, the well-kept park, and numerous historic details. Around 21 hectares of consolidated grassland, fields, and forest now form a refuge for people and animals. A private water source and a photovoltaic system with 12 kWp (2022) even enable a step towards self-sufficient supply.

Despite the idyllic seclusion, urban infrastructure is close by: the center of Gmunden and Lake Traunsee are reachable within minutes.
