This luxury Chalet looks back to 300 years as an ancient mountain farm in Carinthia, Austria. The farmstead was recently restored to the very highest standard of renovation and design incorporating many innovative features, whilst staying true to the age and integrity of a former working farm. The chalet stands in a commanding position with magnificent 360 degree views on 16 hectare of private land featuring three balconies on three facades plus several outdoor sitting and dining areas, a traditional plastered stove, an open fireplace and under-floor heating throughout.
The main farmhouse with three floor levels is constructed of century old larch and pine beams and the classic Carinthian roof is covered in larch tiles featuring a traditional bell tower used to call the farmer and his family for Lunch. The spacious entrance hall covering the entire widths of the house features a 17th century flag stone floor.
The entrance hall gives access to the kitchen, the dining and living room, the guest WC and to the laundry room; the back door leads to the ski cellar, also to be reached via the ground floor balcony and also by car via the back road. The kitchen is professionally equipped.

An open wooden staircase leads to the first floor landing in same size as the hall below and paved in oak planks, leading to the four bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms on this floor level. The central ceiling structure between first and second floor was removed to allow the beautiful old roof structure to be seen and to create an amazing open space integrating the first and second floor with the spaciously high loft. A wooden bridge with transparent glass on both sides connects the second living room with the spacious master muite; panoramic French windows lead to the private balcony protected by the extended roof construction. The two separate buildings "Troadkast'n" and the "Badstube" have been converted into romantic and cosy suites for two people each with great attention to detail. They are located approx. 15-20 m from the main chalet and are rented exclusively in connection with the chalet.
The well-known major ski resorts of Turracher Höhe, Bad Kleinkirchheim, St. Oswald and Hochrindl with extensive tracks for alpine as well as Nordic skiing are all within easy reach of 15 to 20 minutes. The well-known thermal springs of Bad Kleinkirchheim offer alpine wellness with two Spa centers, Römerbad and St. Kathrein. The 18-hole championship golf course by Don Harradine is beautifully set in alpine nature, a region renowned for deep-snow skiing, for hiking and biking tours - a refuge for all seasons. The soft summits of the Nock-Mountains offer an extraordinary variety of secure hiking paths on some 1,000 km of tracks over the lush meadows with dark blue mountain lakes - ideal for families. Today this is a UNESCO Biosphere National Park opened in 1987 and covering an area of 180 square-kilometers with a maximum elevation of 2441m. Widely spread mountain huts invite hikers offering local alpine produce - Carinthian hospitality at its best.
The chalet is maintained all year round by the resident Austrian caretakers speaking German, English and some Italian.
