Alpine Pasture Reloaded!

There are places that make you pause. Because they are more than a house with a garden. Because they tell a story – quiet, but impressive. Such a place is this special property in Greifenstein, situated high above the Danube, with a view that opens the heart.

Already upon arrival something changes. Turning briefly off the road, towards the forest, and it is already in front of you: a property like from a film, somewhere between an alpine hut, an artist's domicile and a retreat for people who have long left the ordinary behind. A home that seems as if it has its roots in the mountains – and yet has the most beautiful river in Austria at its feet.

The view sweeps far – over the Danube, over the well-known leisure beach of Altenberg and Greifenstein, the popular excursion destination of the Viennese. Up here you are on your own. And at the same time in the middle of life, if you want to be. The view is omnipresent: from the living room, from the balcony on the top floor, from almost every window on the Danube side. The sunsets? Legendary. Anyone who has experienced them once knows what is meant.

The plot itself measures a generous 2.750 m²- small forest included – a paradise with terraces, lawns, flower islands, retreats.

And as if all that were not generous enough, the offer also includes over one hectare of forest area – exactly 10.692 m².

A true gift of nature:

• for wood lovers
• those seeking peace
• walkers with a dog
• or people who like to chop their firewood in their own forest

Whoever wants can create their own little natural realm here – with a hammock, beehives or the quiet dream of self-sufficient living.

The original construction phase dates back to 1930, with a charming old fabric that still offers around 176 m² of living space on two levels today. The rooms are lovingly old-fashioned, winding, cosy. Wood dominates. You feel the age of the house – but in the best sense. It has character, presence, depth. And when you walk on these floorboards, you hear the stories of earlier times.

In 1990 the house was extended – with an addition that is architecturally understated, but scores with its contemporary layout and the huge glass surfaces. This more modern part comprises around 115 m² of living space – flooded with light, open, clear. Here nature merges with the interior. The seasons are part of everyday life.

In total at least 10 rooms are available – of different sizes, in various corners of the house, each with its own character.

For

• large families
• patchwork constellations
• or people who want to combine living, working and creativity under one roof

Particularly charming is that, due to the layout of the house, up to three separate residential units are conceivable.

Whether for

• multiple generations
• guests
• living and working
• or for partial rental

– the potential for flexible living is certainly given.

A special highlight – or rather: the secret star of the house – is the huge, covered terrace with an outdoor kitchen and a view of the water. And this is not just any spot in the greenery, but a stage for

• summer parties
• family breakfasts
• long evenings by candlelight
• and everything in between

Here you don't just grill, here you simply live.

The equipment leaves nothing to be desired:

• Refrigerator
• Grill
• Sink
• generous work surfaces

– everything there to pamper guests or to treat yourself to a glass of wine and a juicy steak, while the sun slowly disappears behind the horizon. And always that view. Always that light.

The floor of natural stone, a large dining table outdoors, above it a solid canopy that provides shade – or protection when the summer storm passes. Around it flowering plants, the rustle of the trees, the call of a bird from the adjoining forest. It is one of those places where you lose track of time. Where everyday life turns into a holiday, without leaving. And when the guests have long gone, often one stays sitting. Just like that. Because it feels good to be exactly here.

And in general – the entire property lives from its outdoor areas. Everywhere small terraces, hidden corners, open places to sit, lie down, sleep, read.

• sit
• lie down
• sleep
• read

The garden: tended, matured, kept by a green thumb.

Admittedly: the house is not flawless. There are areas that still require love and effort. But it is precisely this imperfection that makes the property so special. Whoever is looking for a high-gloss villa will not be happy here. Whoever is looking for the unique – all the more so.

This house is not for followers. But everything for people with courage, feeling and the desire to call something real their home.

Whether

• artist's studio
• family residence
• weekend retreat
• or year-round main residence

– the possibilities are as varied as the light moods over the Danube. And anyone lucky enough to call this place their own will quickly understand: You can build many houses. But only a few find them.

I am already looking forward to showing you this very special little piece of earth in person.
