Timeless Elegance In A Historic Swiss Estate

In Switzerland, many historic estates and ensembles have been kept in particularly impressive condition. Maienfeld in the Rhine Valley is a good example. Like a ”mini-world”, the small town nestles under the towering Falknis (two thousand five hundred sixty meters above sea level) on the sunny vineyards of the Bündner Herrschaft. 

To the north of the town centre, the old ”Collection Nobilis Estate No. 2” stands on a quiet cul-de-sac with a fountain. The three-story patrician house, built around 1700, includes a spacious garden, a two-story annexe and a large stable and threshing floor with plenty of potential for expansion.

Top wines are produced in the favourable climate of the Bündner Herrschaft. Numerous fine restaurants invite you to make culinary discoveries. The village at the intersection of multiple Trans-Alpine traffic routes had already been recorded on the Roman road map «Tabula Peutingeriana» as «Magia».

Johanna Spyri chose to set the classic stories of Heidi and Peter here in 1880, thus establishing a Swiss myth. Maienfeld is also known for its regularly held International Equestrian Festival.

The wine-growing village offers everything for daily needs within walking distance, such as grocery shops, a pharmacy, kindergarten, primary, and secondary schools. The spa and health resort of Bad Ragaz, situated on the other side of the Rhine River, offers a wide range of cultural, culinary and wellness activities, even a casino, a private airfield and one of the most beautiful golf courses in Switzerland in the sophisticated ambience of the Alps. 

For activities during winter, the family-friendly Grüsch-Danusa ski area is the closest winter sports resort. If that is not enough, the famous ski arenas of Laax and Flims, Lenzerheide, Davos and Klosters can all be reached within twenty to forty minute car rides.

Hortensia Gugelberg von Moos, née von Salis (sixteen fifty-nine - seventeen fifteen), who is considered a pioneer in the quest for equal rights for men and women resided in this historic estate. In nineteen sixty-four/nineteen sixty-five, this patrician house was thoroughly renovated and has been meticulously maintained ever since.

The prestigious property is ideally suited as a company headquarters or seminar centre or even as a boutique hotel. One can set up a grand family residence in which all family members enjoy maximum privacy. It is equally suitable as a multi-family house in which approximately ten to twelve residential units can be created including stables. 

On the ground floor, main attraction is banqueting or conference hall with its rustic vaulted ceiling and fireplace. On first floor lies splendid living room with wood panelling and ceilings from time of construction as well as magnificent wood-burning stove from Steckborn. Living room on second floor shines with filigree rococo-stucco on vaulted ceiling.

From top of ”Collection Nobilis Estate No. 2” you can enjoy spectacular views of historic old town of Maienfeld; Rhine Valley; mountains. In this inspiring location nature tradition modernity enter into flourishing blend.
