Farmhouse – Emperor’s Retreat

Short description

This historic, 17^th century farmhouse is a unique find for connoisseurs. The property was recently renovated with meticulous attention to the original building fabric. Charming details from yesteryear such as the enchanting garden with a palace-like ambience and lavender-lined paths to the central marble fountain, the separate bakehouse, gazebo and solid walls are as impressive as the modern creature comforts including a pool and pool house.

The farmhouse is situated in an idyllic setting hugged by open green space and borders the district of Gneis. There are good public transport connections, a bank, bakery, grocery shops, pharmacy etc. in the vicinity. A leisurely stroll along the Almkanal stream takes you straight into the city.

A distinguished entrance hall with a charming alcove leads into the old parlour that still serves as the convivial heart of the property today as the kitchen-diner with original casement windows. The layout on this level also includes a cosy TV room with a glass-fronted stove, a coat area and separate entrance for suppliers. A staircase with a turned timber balustrade leads up to the first floor which houses a galleried study, master bedroom with an adjoining library, two additional bedrooms and a generous marble bathroom. The top floor comprises a sweeping, light-filled studio with a sunny balcony that boasts a sensational mountain view. HWB 152
