Completely renovated house, a picturesque hamlet on the Walensee, the green-blue lake, above the steep walls of the Churfirsten: A postcard motif. Impressive area with many possibilities for leisure activities and a high quality of life. Permanent residence or use as a holiday home - as you wish. With lake access.
The Churfirsten form the impressive backdrop, the extremely mild climate and a lake that, with its steep banks, is reminiscent of a Scandinavian fjord - the Walensee region is a world of its own. Water sports enthusiasts are also thrilled: sailors, windsurfers and kitesurfers enjoy the winds that pick up in the afternoon. Those who want to go on the water with a stand-up paddleboard or a kayak will also like the lake. Also popular are boat trips or walks to car-free Quinten, a unique village with a Mediterranean atmosphere.
In terms of transport, the south bank of Lake Walen has always been a challenge. The SBB railway line runs through numerous tunnels and galleries. Until the opening of the Walensee road in the sixties, passage for vehicles was only possible via the Kerenzerberg. The first footpath under the Kerenzerberg was built about 400 years ago, large parts of this historic route are still walkable today as a hiking trail. A section of the Swiss cycle network also leads past here, the lake route from Lake Constance to Lake Geneva.
If you walk or cycle east along this path, the forest suddenly opens up, below in a hollow is a picturesque hamlet, the elongated lake, the steep Churfirsten: An extraordinary sight, a postcard motif. There, right under the path, the first building: This is the house that is for sale.
The gable end faces east, clear window lines. An extension under a lean-to roof, with a terrace towards the lake, below, connected by a staircase, a first garden. Behind the house a terraced, second garden, very sunny; it's good living here.
The ground floor houses a first room, a second is under the terrace, equipped with a sauna. On the first floor a bathroom with two washbasins, shower, toilet and bathtub with a door for easy access. The living room is extraordinary: On the one hand, the room is large, the open kitchen looks modern, the dining area is cleverly separated by a step, a soapstone stove creates cosiness, the terrace offers a spectacular panorama and creates additional living space. On the second floor there are two more rooms, an office and an exit to the terraced garden. Above, in the attic, a spacious loft that can be extended to obtain even more living space - DIY enthusiasts are also catered for.
Only a few years ago the house was completely renovated and now presents itself as a cleverly modernised building with beautiful, classic elements: Light render, colour-contrasting walls, herringbone pattern ceilings, tasteful wooden floors and a modern, open kitchen. The building envelope is also in good condition; facade, doors, windows, roof, eaves and downpipes - everything new or as good as new and maintained with great commitment.
The property can remain a holiday home, in an extraordinary area with a high recreational value, a beautiful, special home as a spacious base for all sporting activities or a special home office, far from the hustle and bustle. If you wish, you can use it as your main residence, enjoy this picturesque place with its special location on the lake and experience what slowing down means. Two garden seating areas and a terrace invite you to linger outdoors. Public parking is available within a two-minute walk.
Also barely two minutes' walk from the house is a secluded, discreet lake access, where you can swim comfortably and safely. Two or three portable inflatable boats can be stored safely and dry in a nearby cavern, and launching is also uncomplicated.
We look forward to hearing from you and will gladly provide you with the sales documents without obligation.
