Pretty half of a house, dignified aging, spacious, in a quiet residential area. Plenty of space for singles, couples, or families who want to enjoy holidays in southern Glarnerland or live here permanently. A decelerated life in a rural environment.
Haslen is a small, charming settlement on the road from Schwanden to Hätzingen, the main road itself runs on the other side of the valley. The village is so pretty that it has been included in the federal inventory of protected localities of regional significance. The agricultural settlement part located southeast of the village center is called Oberhaslen, where the house for sale is located.
Everything looks very rural and everywhere there are well-kept, renovated properties or tasteful new buildings. The Glarus South region offers living space, jobs, and a local recreation area with special charm. The relative proximity to the Zurich metropolitan area allows for commuting to work, a high quality of life, and relaxing leisure activities speak for living here.
The Urnerboden is nearby, the largest alp in Switzerland on the way to the famous Klausen Pass. Also quickly reachable: Braunwald, a family-friendly, car-free ski resort and a dream hiking area. Next to it, on a shoulder, the legendary Oberblegisee, to the east the Freiberg Kärpf, the oldest wildlife protection area in Europe. And the Tödi rises nearly 3000 meters above the valley floor, making this area the deepest valley in the country - living where others want to vacation.
The house is the southern part of a large, stately building from the early 2000s. Originally a solid construction, the wall base is massive, you can clearly see the beam heads and corner joints, the cladding serves as weather protection for the beam layers. The gable front is turned towards the southwest, cleverly oriented towards the afternoon sun, outside the core house, an extension with a flat, walkable shed roof has been added to the northeast, this building has been converted into living space.
On the raised ground floor, there is a living room with a tiled stove, a large, modernized kitchen, and a bathroom with a tub, shower, sink, and toilet. On the first floor, there are two spacious rooms and a toilet with a sink. Above, in the attic, the actual highlight of the house, two more rooms and a spacious attic under the gable roof.
Roof, facade, windows, doors, and parts of the interior have been thoroughly renovated in the 1990s and are in good condition. The building services convey the rustic charm of the good old days. Those who like it will feel comfortable here. Particularly worth preserving are the wooden floors and the coffered ceilings and walls.
Those who prefer more comfort can optimize heating, kitchen, bathroom, sanitary and electrical installations and have a modern interior design created. The house becomes even more interesting if the attic is integrated into the renovations, thus gaining usable space.
The building is fully basemented, there is space here. To the south, on the other side of the street, directly opposite, a fenced 60m2 plot is included in the offer - quiet, very sunny, and cozy. At the back of the house, there is another plot of about 50m2, it can remain a garden or become a parking space. Further public parking spaces are a minute's walk away.
Those who want to use the property as a holiday home and like the rustic style can largely leave the expansion as it is. A comprehensive interior renovation would also be possible, the combination of old and new elements is appealing. Good taste and a successful mix of styles would transform the interior of the house into a modern jewel.
The house is ideal for anyone looking for a decelerated life in the countryside. Pretty village in an extraordinary area with high recreational value. An extraordinary house as a spacious base for all activities. Or one may not want to have a landlord any longer, while also saving money and living here permanently. This is a home for many: singles, couples, families.
