Einzigartiges Schlössl am Gießhübl

Perlhof „Gutmannschlössl" – A villa estate with historical radiance

In the southern outskirts of Vienna, nestled in a spacious private park, rises one of the most extraordinary properties in Lower Austria: the Perlhof, also known as „Gutmannschlössl". What was built more than two centuries ago as a princely country seat is today among the rare private properties that combine history, art and living culture in a unique way.

The Building

The building itself is an architectural composition from different eras: a multi-part, two-story main block with a side three-story gate tower, a distinctive basket-arched portal and a forged iron spear lattice shapes the unmistakable appearance. The façade with its fine historic articulation, the cornices and window casings tells of a time when architectural craft was still understood as a total work. Inside, this language continues: stucco ceilings with Baroque elements, solid wooden staircases, natural stone floors as well as doors and frames in the old Vienna style create rooms of timeless dignity.

The main building comprises a basement, ground floor and upper floor, as well as an expanded attic area in the tower room; the unfinished roof attic offers additional expansion potential. An autonomous outbuilding with a wine tavern, a wine storage and further living spaces complements the ensemble and opens up diverse usage possibilities – whether as a guest house, studio or private retreat. The total living space of approximately 441 m² is distributed generously over both buildings. In addition there are basement areas, a paved terrace and a loggia on the ground floor.

The infrastructure was modernized as part of a comprehensive general renovation: a gas central heating system with a hot water buffer, high-quality sanitary fittings, an alarm system and connections to all public utility networks provide modern living comfort in a historic ambience.

The Grounds

The actual heartbeat of the estate, however, is formed by the park. On a total property area of around 4,400 square meters, a manicured green area unfolds that is unmatched. Secondary standing stone garden vases, seat-like stone plinths, terracotta paving from the late 19th century – originally part of the dismantled Viennese Rothschild Palace –, stone figures, marble statues and a group of figures in bronze transform the garden into a moodful open-air ensemble of cultural-historical rank. Wrought-iron driveway gate, solid fencing and paved park areas round off the representative exterior; four outdoor parking spaces are available.

The Location

The location of the property in the municipality of Gießhübl, Hochleiten municipal area, is regarded as one of the best residential addresses in the southern Vienna belt. The surroundings are characterized by upscale residential properties, green spaces and the typical character of a quiet, well-established community – yet well connected: The A 21 motorway junction is reachable in a few minutes by car, rail connections to Vienna and Wiener Neustadt are available in Mödling and Brunn am Gebirge, public bus lines are within walking distance. Shopping facilities, a doctor and a pharmacy are in close proximity.
