A garden that remains – Two-family house with exceptional natural garden and swimming pond in Gmünd

Where the garden becomes the actual living space

With this property, the special features do not begin at the front door.

Behind the residential house from 1961, an exceptional natural garden opens up across a total plot area of 663 m², with mature fruit and deciduous trees, lush planting and sheltered areas for spending time. According to the land register, around 560 m² are designated as garden area.

Large trees provide natural shade in summer, while sunny spots, flowering areas and small retreats alternate between them. The planting that has developed over decades creates a remarkable degree of privacy – right in the middle of Gmünd.

A plot for people who are not looking for a perfectly styled standard garden, but for a place with character, life and history.

Its history is also special: According to the owner, it was the first garden in Gmünd to be awarded the Lower Austrian “Natur im Garten” plaque.

Swimming natural pond – the heart of the garden

A real highlight is the professionally constructed swimming natural pond built in 2014.

The swimming area, measuring around 10 × 3 metres, combines the advantages of a pool with the natural effect of a garden pond. Water lilies, planted water zones and the surrounding wooden areas blend naturally into the garden landscape.

Instead of a classic pool area, a part of the garden was created here that invites you equally to swim, relax and observe nature.

According to the owner, around € 90.000,- was invested in constructing the entire facility in 2014. The swimming pond has been continuously maintained since then. Most recently, among other things, the pump, filter and wooden stairs were renewed or refurbished; according to the owner, a further around € 9.000,- was spent on this.

A comparable facility cannot be created only with considerable financial expenditure. Above all, it takes years for water, plants and the garden to grow together again into such a unified whole.

Terrace and sheltered favourite spots

Directly by the house is a covered terrace and pergola area with shading. Climbing plants and the surrounding mature trees create a sheltered place for breakfast outdoors, long summer evenings or relaxed hours with a view of the greenery.

Additional seating areas are distributed throughout the plot. The garden thus becomes not merely a backdrop, but an essential part of living.

Two independent apartments under one roof

The solidly constructed residential house offers around 160 m² of living space, divided into two separately usable residential units of approximately 80 m² each.

The ground floor and upper floor each have an independent apartment layout with kitchen, bathroom/WC and separate access.

This makes the property particularly suitable for multigenerational living, two generations each with their own area, or a separate unit for adult children, relatives or guests.

Accordingly, the land register contains the two condominium units W1 and W2, which are currently held by one owner.

In addition, around 80 m² of basement space are available for storage, hobbies, a workshop and building services. A carport for two vehicles and a fibre-optic connection reportedly available according to the owner complement the space available.

Existing property with potential for design

The house dates from 1961 and corresponds to its construction period in significant areas. This gives new owners the opportunity to implement technical and design modernisations according to their own ideas.

According to the current energy performance certificate, space heating is generally provided by electric radiators. In addition, there is a tiled stove on the ground floor that can heat the kitchen and adjoining living area with biomass. An additional water-bearing tiled stove is available on the upper floor.

Live centrally and still look out onto greenery

Gymnasiumstraße combines short distances with a surprisingly green residential setting.

The sports field is directly opposite, meaning that there is no classic residential-house-facing-residential-house view from the street side. Schools are practically on the doorstep – a particular advantage for families.

The town centre and town square can also be reached within a few minutes on foot. The railway station, shopping facilities and other everyday amenities are likewise within comfortable distance. Harabruckteich is also nearby for walks and leisure activities.

The property thus combines two qualities that rarely come together: urban infrastructure and short distances on the one hand – a private, mature natural garden with a swimming pond on the other.

A property for people who appreciate something special

Here, you are not merely acquiring around 160 m² of living space on two independent levels.

You are acquiring a garden with mature trees and planting developed over decades, a high-quality swimming natural pond, sheltered open spaces and, at the same time, the opportunity to further develop the existing house according to your own ideas.

The building can be altered and modernised.
A garden with this degree of maturity cannot simply be newly built.

Anyone who enters this property and appreciates the atmosphere of an established natural garden quickly understands why this property is far more than just a house on 663 m² of land.
