A Remarkable Private Estate Of Lasting Architectural Significance

Hidden within approximately 25,400 square metres of mature private parkland, this remarkable residence represents one of Carinthia’s most significant private estates.

Constructed in 1970, during a period when ambitious residential architecture was defined by generous proportions, exceptional craftsmanship and remarkable freedom of design, the estate extends to more than 1,300 square metres of accommodation, including over 1,000 square metres of principal living space.

Properties of this scale, architectural confidence and setting are becoming increasingly difficult to recreate.

Rather than competing with contemporary luxury homes, the estate belongs to a different architectural tradition—one where permanence, proportion and craftsmanship take precedence over fashion.

Approached via a long private driveway winding gently through mature parkland, the residence reveals itself gradually. Its dramatic roofline and sculptural silhouette create a striking architectural presence, while its elevated position enjoys uninterrupted views across the rolling Carinthian countryside.

A House Designed for Living

The principal reception rooms have been arranged to balance formal entertaining with everyday family life, complemented by a distinguished library, elegant dining rooms, private studies, guest accommodation and extensive ancillary spaces that allow the house to adapt effortlessly to modern living.

Throughout the residence, authentic materials, generous proportions and meticulous craftsmanship define every room. Rather than relying on fashionable finishes, the house derives its character from the quality of its architecture and the confidence of its original design.

It is a residence that feels substantial without becoming imposing, elegant without becoming ostentatious.

Architectural Rarity

One of the estate’s greatest attributes is something that would be exceptionally difficult to recreate today.

Occupying approximately 25,400 square metres of private parkland and extending to more than 1,300 square metres of accommodation, the property represents a scale of private residential development that is increasingly unlikely to receive comparable planning approval.

Modern planning policies, construction costs and changing development priorities mean opportunities to create estates of this nature have become exceptionally rare.

As substantial private estates continue to be divided or redeveloped, properties that have retained both their architectural integrity and their original setting are becoming correspondingly scarcer.

While the residence now presents an opportunity for thoughtful modernisation, its greatest value lies not in what might be added, but in what already exists: exceptional architecture, remarkable proportions, mature parkland and a setting that has changed remarkably little over the past five decades.

Private Wellness & Leisure

One of the estate’s most unexpected features lies beneath the principal residence, where a substantial private wellness complex incorporates an indoor swimming pool, sauna, whirlpool and generous entertaining areas.

Far more than leisure facilities, these spaces extend the way the residence can be enjoyed throughout every season, creating a private retreat that complements the scale of the house above.

Whether used for relaxation, entertaining or family life, the wellness level forms an integral part of the estate rather than simply an additional amenity.

Mature Grounds

Outside, sweeping lawns, mature trees and established gardens complement rather than compete with the architecture.

The grounds provide complete privacy while maintaining a wonderful sense of openness, with terraces overlooking the surrounding landscape and allowing the changing light to animate the estate throughout the day.

The relationship between house and landscape feels entirely natural, reinforcing the quiet confidence that defines the property as a whole.

An Exceptional Setting

Although wonderfully peaceful, the estate enjoys excellent accessibility.

The historic town of St. Veit an der Glan lies just minutes away, while Klagenfurt and its international airport can be reached in approximately twenty minutes.

The beautiful Lake Längsee is only a short drive away, while the celebrated shores of Lake Wörthersee can be reached in approximately twenty-five minutes.

Excellent motorway connections provide straightforward access to Italy, Slovenia and southern Germany, making the estate exceptionally well positioned for both permanent residence and international travel.

Whether enjoying skiing, sailing, golf, hiking or simply the exceptional quality of life for which Carinthia is renowned, the location offers an outstanding balance between tranquillity and convenience.

A Residence for the Future

The estate continues to function beautifully as a distinguished private residence.

Its scale and existing designation may also lend themselves to a variety of carefully considered future uses, subject to the necessary approvals, while preserving the architectural qualities that make the property genuinely exceptional.

Whatever direction a future owner chooses, the residence provides an extraordinary framework upon which to create the next chapter of its history.

A Rare Opportunity

The qualities that define this estate already exist.

Its scale.

Its architecture.

Its craftsmanship.

Its mature parkland.

Its remarkable setting.

While thoughtful modernisation will undoubtedly allow a future owner to introduce contemporary comforts, the essential character of the estate requires no reinvention.

It simply awaits its next custodian.

In an era when private residences of comparable scale, architectural ambition and planning freedom are becoming increasingly uncommon, this represents a rare opportunity to acquire an estate whose greatest qualities could not easily be recreated today.
