Glück Ist Käuflich

Happiness is purchasable.

And you will find it right here. On the shore of Lake Faak. Just a few steps from the ”greenbeach Tschebullbad - Faaker See,” your future gateway to the clear waters, your ”free-entry bathing pleasure,” as aptly described on the ”Kärnten Tourismus” website.

But let’s not get sidetracked – although a hot summer day by and in the turquoise lake promises feelings of happiness, this feeling can still be surpassed.

For that, you first take a few steps up from the lakeshore, past your personal cabin (approx. 5.09 sqm), where you can store swimming, bathing, and water sports gear, and then up three more floors. And here, the door to true happiness opens.

Upon entering this apartment, nothing blocks your view from the entrance area (approx. 6.01 sqm) – your gaze sweeps over the generously sized living/dining area (approx. 59.25 sqm), through the floor-to-ceiling windows, across the terrace (approx. 54.93 sqm) to the lake, the green surrounding forests, and finally rests on the impressive mountain panorama of the Karawanks.

Yes, such a ”living/dining room,” which – thanks to the large sliding glass elements – can be seamlessly and impressively connected to the adjoining terrace, is truly unique. Not only because of the view but also because of the possibilities it offers you to create a personal living space. A living space that stands for design ideas, relaxation, joy of life, recovery, happiness.

Nothing stands in the way of all this – literally. The apartment is heated via underfloor heating (you won’t find wall radiators here), and no dividing walls were installed in the center of the apartment.

Speaking of ”heating” – it goes without saying that this property also includes a cooling option, should the exterior blinds not fully keep out the summer heat on some days.

A niche was created on the partition wall to the sleeping areas for your kitchen unit. Depending on your chosen style, it either participates in the room’s activity (trend colors sage-green and dusty-blue would not only create a visual highlight but also beautifully reflect the colors of Lake Faak) or discreetly blends into the background (matte white would merge the kitchen with the wall surfaces).

Directly accessible from the living/dining area – besides the terrace, which can be reached via the front and a side element of the ”glass facade” – are the toilet (approx. 2.45 sqm; with a hand basin, of course) and the storage room (approx. 2.37 sqm; housing the hot water boiler and space for your washing machine).

Through an open connecting corridor (approx. 9.37 sqm) adjoining the living area, you reach the apartment’s two (bed) rooms (approx. 13.87 and 11.94 sqm) and the bathroom (approx. 11.94 sqm).

The two rooms offer all usage options. Whether you want a master bedroom and a children’s room, two equal bedrooms, or only one bedroom and a guest room – there is suitable space.

Naturally, both (bed) rooms face the terrace and each has its own access – so in the warm seasons, your first step in the morning will likely be outdoors to enjoy the tranquility of the early hours.

It is equally natural and consistent to bring nature inside through the numerous windows. This is reflected in the parquet flooring – ”rustic oak” with a brushed surface, making the planks not only visually but also tactilely an experience when walking barefoot. The shades from yellow through orange to earthy brown always bring warmth to the rooms, regardless of whether the sun is shining outside or rain is pattering on the windows.

The bathroom welcomes you with an inviting color tone – sand-colored large-format tiles adorn the floor and walls, perfectly matching the theme ”vacation at the beach.” The ceramic white of the two washbasins contrasts beautifully with this background, as does the metallic shimmer of the fittings and the slight bluish tint of the glass, which serves as a splash guard for the walk-in shower.

The ”reduction to the essentials,” to give other living areas more space, is also reflected here by a large window that lets in daylight and visually enlarges the bathroom.

What is offered here is happiness for many days, throughout all seasons – because, with all due respect, anyone who only knows and appreciates Carinthia in summer does not truly know Carinthia and the opportunities this federal state offers.

Undoubtedly, summer is the season when a natural bathing lake at your doorstep is more charming than a vacation in distant countries. But one quickly forgets the other activities the location in the tri-border area offers: hiking and cycling in spring, summer, and autumn; skiing in winter; visiting the Velden Christmas market; and day trips to Ljubljana or Udine (and anyone who has not yet experienced the incomparable taste of Italian espresso at the first highway rest stop after the Austrian border has truly missed out).

So yes, this apartment is much more than just a place for retreat and relaxation – it is a starting point, regardless of whether ice crystals decorate the trees, fog hangs over Lake Faak, or the sun shines from the sky.

And since a vehicle is recommended not only for relaxed (and spontaneous) arrival but also for exploring the area towards Italy and Slovenia – two underground parking spaces are included in the purchase.

Almost obligatory as ”accessories” are a cellar compartment (approx. 4.16 sqm) and the storage room (approx. 2.03 sqm) accessible from the terrace. The former provides space for items and sports equipment you don’t need constantly or want to keep safe during longer absences; the latter offers suitable storage to keep various terrace items weather-protected yet easily accessible.

For those who want to add a bit more luxury to this living happiness – the terrace has a connection option for a jacuzzi. Because how better to end a wonderful day away from the usual routine than in a whirlpool on your own terrace? What could be more relaxing than watching the mountain scenery turn red in the evening light while the lake slowly calms down? Would you define ”happiness” differently?

P.S.: Although it seems unlikely not to use such a property yourself and to keep the option open to take a break from everyday life at any time – the possibility of short-term tourist rental is granted to the owners according to the condominium agreement.
