Quiet, forest and Graz nearby: 279 m² single-family house with large garden to design yourself

Are you looking for space for the whole family, a large garden and peace and quiet without giving up proximity to Graz? This detached house in Thal-Eben offers around 279 m² of space across three levels and stands on a sunny 1,106 m² plot directly on the edge of the forest. The house requires renovation, and that is precisely its strength: you decide on the layout, fixtures and style.

The location

Thal is one of the most sought-after residential communities in the area surrounding Graz. Here you live in a quiet, green environment between meadows and forests, while still reaching the outskirts of Graz by car in just a few minutes. Thalersee invites you to go for walks, runs and refreshments, and hiking and cycling trails begin practically on your doorstep. The property borders directly on the forest and offers plenty of privacy without direct neighbours on all sides. Here, children grow up with nature right outside the door.

The house across three levels

Ground floor (approx. 95 m²)
The ground floor is entirely above ground and, with windows on all sides, is a full-fledged floor. It currently contains the garage, two large rooms of around 21 m² and 16 m², a bathroom with laundry room, a storage room and the heating room. This level is ideally suited for:

• an independent granny flat for grandparents, adult children or for letting,
• a home office, office or small practice with its own entrance,
• a hobby, fitness or guest area.

Upper floor (approx. 100 m²)
You reach the main living level via a separate entrance with external stairs. Here you will find a living room (21 m²), a kitchen (16 m²), three bedrooms or children's rooms, a bathroom, a separate WC and a spacious hallway. Those who want an open-plan home can combine the living room, hallway and kitchen into one large living and dining area with views of the greenery.

Attic (approx. 100 m², undeveloped)
The attic is this house's special bonus. With around 100 m² of floor area, allowing for approx. 80 m² of living space, and a balcony on the gable end, it is perfectly suited for a parents' floor: a large bedroom with balcony, a dressing room, a private bathroom and perhaps a reading or work corner under the sloping roof. This gives parents and children their own respective areas under one roof.

Design ideas at a glance

• Multigenerational house: grandparents on the ground floor, family on the upper floor, parents in the attic, each generation with its own retreat.
• Living and working: office or practice on the ground floor with a separate entrance, living space above.
• Living with rental income: granny flat on the ground floor as a contribution to financing.
• Large family: up to seven rooms after conversion, plus garage and plenty of storage space.

The plot

1,106 m² of greenery, directly on the forest: there is room here for a large garden, vegetable beds, play equipment, a terrace in the evening sun or even a pool. A private well is already available.

Conclusion: A house for people with ideas. With its location, size and plot, you can create a home here that rarely comes onto the market in Thal.
