Semi-detached house for sale - 3654 Gunten

Historic property with lake view - Dream home with potential in the Bernese Oberland

In a privileged location on Lake Thun, nestled between water, forest, and mountains, this extraordinary residential house with historic charm and versatile potential awaits you. The property comprises around 310 m2 of living space and 9 rooms on several floors - ideal for families, multi-generational living, or creative usage concepts.

A place with history - architectural heritage

The main building dates back to around 1800 and is one of the protected country estates of the Bernese Oberland. The cube-shaped solid building with Mansard hipped roof, pointed sandstone corner pilasters, and finely structured facade is an impressive example of late Baroque architecture.

Elements such as the invited west porch, the artificial stone terrace from 1925, a decorated entrance with gable roof, a small garden bridge over the Eygraben, and the pavilion in the west corner emphasize the historical character and give the property its special aura.

Generous space offering - versatile use

The living area is distributed over ground, upper, and attic floors. Currently, the entire house is operated as an Airbnb - all rooms (except dining room and attic) serve as sleeping quarters with multiple beds. A spacious kitchen, several bathrooms, and expansion potential in the attic allow for flexible living or usage forms - from a classic family house to a boutique guesthouse or studio residence.

Substance, condition, and expansion potential

The property is in a partially renovated condition. The kitchen and some bathrooms have been modernized, while historical elements such as oak parquet, coffered ceilings, staircase, and shutters are well preserved. A careful renovation offers the chance to further strengthen the special character.

As a K-object in the building inventory, the building is subject to monument protection regulations - this also opens up opportunities for tax relief and subsidies.

Note on parking situation

The property currently has no parking spaces. According to municipal information, however, a building permit for parking spaces directly from the street can be applied for if needed.

Location, surroundings, and infrastructure

The quiet, sunny location with lake view and nature connection offers high quality of life. The village center is easily accessible on foot: with shopping opportunities, post office, restaurants, daycare, playgrounds, schools, and the popular Gunten beach. The region offers numerous

leisure activities, good public transport connections, and a privileged environment for private or semi-commercial use.

The property is located in the shore protection zone (SFG) - an ecologically valuable and long-term secured zone with increased protection status.
