Typical Toggenburg house, pretty village with a historic core. A lot of quality of life, high recreational value; this is how one can live in a decelerated manner. Toggenburg Tourism promotes with the slogan: A perfect world. Where nature is untouched and the clocks tick slower. This fits well...
Mogelsberg is a former farming village on a ridge above the Neckertal. A gentle hilly landscape, at about 800 m above sea level lies the settlement, the Südostbahn line St. Gallen-Wattwil runs around the village in a tight loop. Unusual, the historic core, everywhere intact, regionally typical wooden houses from the 18th and 19th centuries, all very rural and really pretty: That is why Mogelsberg is listed in the inventory of protected local images of Switzerland. Dominating in the middle, the parish church with a spire and an inn with a mansard roof, right behind it stands the house for sale.
An impressive building, built gable-end to the access road, oriented to the southwest, two full floors, an attic, standing alone. Centrally placed mansard gable with the classic, curved side surfaces - a typical, pretty Toggenburg house.
To the southwest, towards the village center, six pronounced, almost symmetrical lines of windows. Classic hipped roofs over the tall rectangular windows, traditional wooden shutters, a shingled facade all around. On the northeast facade, an extension with a flat roof, tastefully dimensioned, half of which is a fully glazed winter garden and a terrace with a great view to the west. Then a charmingly overgrown garden of about 250 m2 with many perennials.
110 m2 of living space is offered by the raised ground floor, part of which is used commercially, the owners run a theater. Next to it, a spacious apartment, cleverly arranged in an L-shape around the hallway and staircase, with two bright rooms and a bathroom.
The first floor accommodates a modern living kitchen. Clever, the side-mounted winter garden with access to the roof terrace. Next to it, a living room, three more rooms, and a bathroom. On the second floor, there are three more rooms, a bathroom, and in the intermediate floor, another toilet; on two floors, a seven-room apartment with 158 m2 of living space.
In the basement, there are two spacious cellars, a laundry room, and a respectable workshop with a separate entrance, a total of 75 m2 of usable space.
Not only the exterior of the property reminds of the good old days, but also inside, much seems as if time has stood still: colorfully separated panel walls and ceilings, paneled wall coverings, quietly creaking strip floors, parquet with fresh fishbone pattern, linoleum floors with decades-old patina, porcelain switches and sockets, cast-iron radiators - worth preserving.
But the nostalgic impression is only superficial, since 2020, heating has been done with district heating from a cooperative heating network, the boilers have been renewed, and the electrical installations as well. Many walls have been freshly painted, the wooden floors sanded and sealed. The building envelope is also in good condition - everything has been kept in good shape with a lot of commitment.
Today, a commercial part and an apartment on the raised ground floor and a very large apartment on both upper floors, the house can be a home for a large family or accommodate a multi-generational household or enable the model of living and working in the same house. Singles or couples who want to indulge in the luxury of a lot of space in a stylish old apartment will also find what they are looking for: Here one can live in a decelerated manner. Those who want can make minor corrections to the interior design and then focus on living. Or one can carry out a larger renovation and make the building an exterior jewel as well.
We look forward to your contact and are happy to provide you with the sales documents without obligation.
