Alm Reloaded!

There are places that make you pause. Because they are more than just a house with a garden. Because they tell a story – quietly, yet impressively. Such a place is this special property in Greifenstein, perched high above the Danube, with a view that opens the heart.

Something changes the moment you arrive. Just a short turn off the road towards the forest, and there it lies before you: a property like from a movie, somewhere between an alpine hut, an artist’s retreat, and a sanctuary for those who have long left the ordinary behind. A home that feels rooted in the mountains – with Austria’s most beautiful river at its feet.

The view stretches far – over the Danube, the well-known leisure beach of Altenberg and Greifenstein, a popular destination for Viennese. Up here, you are alone. And at the same time, in the middle of life, if you want to be. The view is everywhere: from the living room, the top-floor balcony, from almost every window on the Danube side. The sunsets? Legendary. Anyone who has experienced them knows what is meant.

The property itself measures a generous 2,750 m² – including a small forest – a paradise with terraces, lawns, flower islands, and secluded spots.

And as if that weren’t generous enough, the offer also includes over one hectare of forest area – exactly 10,692 m².

A true gift of nature: for wood lovers, peace seekers, dog walkers, or those who like to chop their own firewood in their own forest. Anyone can create their own little natural kingdom here – with a hammock, beehives, or the quiet dream of self-sufficient living.

The original construction phase dates back to 1930, with a charming old section that still offers around 176 m² of living space on two levels. The rooms are lovingly old-fashioned, quirky, cozy. Wood dominates. You can feel the age of the house – but in the best sense. It has character, presence, depth. And when you walk on these floorboards, you hear the stories of times past.

In 1990, the house was extended – with an addition that takes a back seat architecturally but scores with its contemporary layout and huge glass surfaces. This more modern part offers about 115 m² of living space – bright, open, clear. Here, nature merges with the interior. The seasons become part of everyday life.

In total, at least 10 rooms are available – varying in size, in different corners of the house, each with its own character. For large families, patchwork constellations, or people who want to combine living, working, and creativity under one roof.

Particularly charming is that, due to the house’s layout, up to three separate living units are conceivable. Whether for multigenerational living, guests, living and working, or partial rental – the potential for flexible living is definitely there.

A special highlight – or rather: the house’s secret star – is the huge covered terrace with an outdoor kitchen and a view of the water. And this is not just any spot in the greenery, but a stage for summer parties, family breakfasts, long evenings by candlelight, and everything in between. Here, you don’t just grill; you simply live.

The amenities leave nothing to be desired: refrigerator, grill, sink, generous work surfaces – everything needed to spoil guests or enjoy a glass of wine and a juicy steak yourself while the sun slowly disappears behind the horizon. And always that view. Always that light.

The natural stone floor, a large outdoor dining table, a solid roof providing shade – or protection when summer storms pass by. Around it, blooming plants, the rustling of trees, the call of a bird from the adjacent forest.

It is one of those places where you lose track of time. Where everyday life turns into a vacation without leaving home. And when the guests have long gone, often one remains seated. Just like that. Because it feels good to be exactly here.

And overall – the entire property lives through its outdoor spaces. Everywhere small terraces, hidden corners, open spots to sit, lie down, sleep, read. The garden: well-kept, mature, tended with a green thumb.

Admittedly: the house is not flawless. There are areas that still require love and effort. But it is precisely this imperfection that makes the property so special. Those looking for a glossy villa will not be happy here. Those seeking the unique – all the more so.

This house is not for followers. But everything for people with courage, feeling, and the desire to call something real their home.

Whether artist’s studio, family residence, weekend retreat, or year-round main residence – the possibilities are as diverse as the light moods over the Danube. And those lucky enough to call this place their own will quickly understand:
You can build many houses. But only find a few.

I look forward to personally showing you this very special piece of earth.
