Farm Estate with Chalet in Schachnern

This extraordinary agricultural estate with two farmsteads, a historic mill, Alpine plots in private and communal ownership, and even its own chalet in the sunny Carinthian Mölltal with direct views of the Großglockner as the highest mountain in Austria combines history, authenticity and alpine luxury in a unique way.

In a dreamlike, south-facing panoramic setting in the municipality of Heiligenblut am Großglockner, located on the Apriacher state road, this extraordinary agricultural property presents itself as a true one-of-a-kind in the Austrian Alps.

With a clear view of the majestic Großglockner, this property combines historic character, high-quality craftsmanship and versatile use possibilities in an impressive way.

The estate consists of a current, modern farmstead with a high-quality and fully renovated dwelling house in alpine style along with a contemporary stable building, a historic farmstead with a historically significant and well-preserved farmhouse including outbuildings and stable buildings from the 16th century as well as modern double garages and a chalet built as a hand-made highlight and includes about 15 ha of own land including a historic mill stock as well as shares and grazing rights in exactly 4 different agricultural communities or community pastures.

The current farmstead from the 1990s offers modern living and usage comfort and consists of a large, 3-storey and fully basemented house built in solid brick (cellar and ground floor) and timber-frame construction (upper floors) with a southern orientation, whose rooms are all furnished in joinery quality with loving details, as well as a modern stable including garages, a large joinery workshop and the typical middle floor as well as the obligatory attic on the top floor.

A special highlight is the historical farmstead from the 16th century, which reflects the original character of the region and, with its traditional construction method, represents a rare historical value that has already been scientifically studied and certified. It consists of a large, two-storey farmhouse with a small outbuilding as well as a half-share in a stable building, which is shared with the neighbor. This unique relic of bygone times served, due to its unchanged original condition and excellent state of preservation and thus special value, also for science, already for research purposes of the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Vienna, during which the exact age of the timbers used in the building was determined. A well-known open-air museum also wanted this historic building ensemble as a rarity to purchase at that time, to dismantle it piece by piece and reassemble exactly and safely again at a central location near a big city to make it accessible to a broad public as a permanent exhibition, thus securing this historical piece of alpine and Austrian cultural heritage and honoring it.

The ensemble currently for sale is complemented by a chalet built about 5 years ago, which was constructed with the utmost craftsmanship and with much attention to detail and fits harmoniously into the overall image. Consisting of warm natural materials, traditional architecture and exclusive interior finish including built-in furniture from local wood in joinery quality, an unparalleled living ambience has been created, which to date has mainly delighted tourists from all over the world in the context of short-term rentals.

All buildings are fully furnished and equipped with individually crafted built-in joinery, enabling immediate occupancy or direct use without additional effort.

With the PV system already in operation you produce your own electricity, which also makes you largely energy-autarkic.

Long ago, grain was ground without electricity and this is still evidenced today by the nearby excursion destination and open-air museum Apriacher Stockmühlen. And one of these wooden mill buildings including a small area in the neighboring town Apriach belongs as own property to the sale property, is included in the sale and carries additional economic development potential.

In total the sale property has a land possession of about 14.5 ha in sole ownership. This comprises a nearby and contiguous alpine meadow of about 9 ha, which was long mowed as so-called "Bergmahd", the land around the historic Stockmühle in Apriach and the remaining own area around the two farmsteads of again over 5.5 ha or 55,000 square meters directly around the own buildings.

In addition to the own land of over 14.5 ha the sale property also has share rights in exactly 4 different agricultural communities and thus additional communal ownership of vast alpine meadows and forests in the large well-known areas, partly located in the Hohe Tauern National Park, spanning thousands of hectares.

These include:

• 12 of 392 shares in the community ownership "Alpe Apriacher Kühberg" (almost 100 ha)
• 12 of 546 shares in the community ownership "Fleißner Ochsenalpe" (over 2.200 ha)
• 12 of 470 shares in the community ownership "Alpe Hinter den Wiesen" (almost 4.000 ha)
• 3 of 170 shares in the community ownership "Apriacher Wälder" (over 500 ha)

Not only for this reason can, in the ideal case and in the seller's interest, the estate also continue to be operated by new owners in some form as an active agricultural and/or tourist operation and enables, for example in conjunction with the tourist rental possibility (for overnight stays or for holding special seminars, etc.), whole buildings (components), such as the chalet, the historic farmhouse and also 10 double rooms in the new farmhouse as a revenue source, to even become a lucrative main occupation and to create own year-round jobs directly on-site at the own agricultural estate at the foot of the Großglockner as the Austrian tourism magnet.

Upon request and in coordination with the suitable buyers the current owner is also willing to continue to be involved in some form after the sale (whether hands-on, as temporary manager on-site or simply as advisory as an agricultural and regional expert nearby) for a period of time.

FAZIT:

An estate as a total ensemble of this quality, history and location is extremely rare to come onto the market and there is probably no other one in such a special composition.

This unique agriculture offers a one-time opportunity for lovers of exclusive Alpine real estate, investors or entire families who are looking for an extraordinary living environment with tradition and prestige and who on-site will even find diverse business opportunities to not only reside generously year-round but also to live economically from different pillars of the operation.
