Where others go on holiday, your new life begins – Estate in Salzburger Pongau

A special place to call home for people who do not merely want to arrive in the mountains, but want to stay.

Above St. Johann im Pongau, in a sunny hillside location with far-reaching views across the Salzach Valley, this exceptional property extends over approximately 17 hectares of land. A place for people who love the Salzburg region and want to turn their longing for mountains, nature and independence into a new centre of life.

You may have previously known the Pongau from holidays. From winter days in the mountains, hikes in summer or that special combination of alpine tranquillity and Austrian quality of life. This property offers the rare opportunity to make more of it: To live here. To arrive here. And to build something of your own here.

The established farm ensemble combines living space, agricultural land, forest, stables and farm buildings into a versatile living environment. Approximately 17 hectares of meadows, pastures and forest create opportunities for manageable farming, keeping animals, self-sufficiency or nature-oriented management according to your own ideas.

Living on the farm does not mean isolation in any way. St. Johann im Pongau offers very good infrastructure with schools, doctors, shopping facilities and a railway station. At the same time, alpine nature begins practically at your own doorstep.

A farm for people with an idea of life

We are not looking for classic holiday-home buyers or weekend guests.

This property is aimed at people who want to relocate their permanent centre of life to the Pongau and are prepared to assume responsibility for the land, the soil and agriculture.

For people who may have been dreaming for some time of living closer to nature. Who enjoy animals, forests and meadows. Who bring agricultural experience or are prepared to acquire the necessary knowledge and corresponding qualifications.

Those with agricultural qualifications, as well as people with agricultural skilled-worker training within the meaning of Section 4 Salzburg Land Transfer Act 2023, are particularly addressed. This may also open up a special perspective for interested parties who are prepared to obtain appropriate agricultural qualifications and seriously manage the farm.

Whether as a family, couple or new stage of life: there is room here for a life that combines living, nature and meaningful activity.

Agriculture & nature

The property comprises approximately 17 hectares in total, including more than 12 hectares of forest and approximately 4 hectares of meadows and pastures.

This opens up various possibilities – from grassland farming and keeping a small number of animals, to horses and self-sufficiency, through to the sustainable use of your own forest.

Its own spring or water supply, as well as the wood-chip heating system using wood from the property’s own forest, underline the farm’s self-sufficient character. The property is complemented by a small distilling licence.

Living with a view

The ensemble of buildings offers generous living space and various possible uses for families and generations.

In addition to the living areas and agricultural farm buildings, the established ensemble includes, among other things, a stable, wood storage facility and carport, as well as generous courtyard and ancillary areas.

Balconies and terraces open up views of the Pongau mountains and the Salzach Valley. The sunny hillside location conveys peace and freedom, while St. Johann and all its infrastructure remain quickly accessible.

Here, you live in the middle of nature without having to forgo the amenities of an established district capital.

A life in the heart of the Salzburg region

St. Johann im Pongau stands for a quality of life that draws others here on holiday.

In winter, the ski areas of Snow Space Salzburg and Ski amadé are practically on the doorstep. In summer, hiking, mountain biking, mountains and alpine pastures characterise the region. Salzburg city and the airport are easily accessible.

Tourist use:

Tourist use is possible, on the one hand, within the framework of farm-based guest accommodation and, on the other hand – subject to the appropriate zoning designation – a larger guest or accommodation business could also be considered.

The joinery – an additional possibility

The property also includes an existing joinery with suitable premises. If the appropriate trade licence is available, it can be continued or repositioned.

However, taking over the business is not a requirement. This means that this area remains an additional possibility offered by the property, without determining its essential character.

Who this is right for

This farm is intended for people who do not simply want to buy a property in the mountains.

But for people who want to live here.

The agricultural operation is to be actively continued. The purchase is subject to the applicable Salzburg land-transfer regulations. In particular, the requirements under Section 4 Salzburg Land Transfer Act 2023 must be taken into account.

A credible intention to operate the farm agriculturally, as well as the corresponding professional qualification – for example agricultural skilled-worker training – or the willingness to obtain the required qualification are therefore key issues in the acquisition process.

We are happy to personally accompany serious interested parties with all questions concerning the property and the necessary framework conditions.

Some places are visited on holiday. Others eventually become home.
