Villa In Oberdrauburg – Ein Aufwändig Renoviertes Jahrhundertwendejuwel

Villa in Oberdrauburg – An elaborately renovated turn-of-the-century jewel

This villa was built in 1904 on behalf of the Viennese accountant and travel writer Leopold Reichenwallner as an apartment house and guesthouse on a beautiful hill at the edge of Oberdrauburg. It became a meeting place for notable alpine enthusiasts, mountaineers, and artists such as Albin Egger-Lienz and Herbert von Karajan.

The building consists of a three-story main house facing south and a two-story annex. The 14 apartments with a total of 17 rooms are partly equipped with loggias and balconies. Noteworthy is the ceiling height of 3.50 m, and another highlight is the beautiful wooden floors. The exterior walls are about 70 cm thick, ensuring a pleasant indoor climate year-round. The living area is approximately 460 m². The building is fully basemented, with the cellar offering about 181 m² of usable space.

This exceptional property features 14 beautifully redesigned bathrooms and 5 nearly new kitchens. An approximately 70 m² apartment with one room, kitchen, and bathroom is rented indefinitely. Another approximately 35 m² one-room apartment with a bathroom is rented on a 3-year fixed term. Eight parking spaces are available.

The property is located in a sunny spot on the western edge of Oberdrauburg. A hedge provides privacy. In the center of the garden stands a large chestnut tree and a roughly 25 m² wooden hut originally from the Lesachtal. The quiet location and the unobstructed, beautiful view of the surrounding mountains of the upper Drava Valley are real advantages of this property.

Extensive Renovation
The villa has been renovated with great effort. The work carried out includes a new roof covering, modern bathrooms, energy-saving double-glazed windows, facade with full thermal insulation, and renewal of electrical and water installations. In 2022, an efficient pellet heating system was installed. A small photovoltaic balcony power plant provides additional energy.
