Historic property with renovation potential apartment

PÜRgg 20

Historic residential house with exceptional development potential

A special place. A special property. A rare opportunity.

A property for visionaries

There are properties whose value is defined not solely by their present condition, but above all by what can be created from them.

PÜRgg 20 is such a property. Located at the entrance to Pürgg, this traditional residential house stands on a plot of approximately 619 m². The existing residential usable area of approx. 170 m² is distributed across three levels and currently comprises eight rooms. The building is in need of comprehensive renovation and refurbishment in all essential areas.

At the same time, it is precisely this condition that creates the opportunity to fundamentally rethink the property and combine the historic character of the house with contemporary living comfort.

Whether as a spacious family home, a multigenerational house, for the creation of several residential units or – subject to the necessary approvals – as a high-quality tourist rental property: PÜRgg 20 offers an exceptional starting point for an individual usage concept.

THE PROPERTY

The existing building has approximately 170 m² of residential usable area and extends across three levels. There are currently a total of eight rooms. The existing room layout, traditional wooden floors and partially visible historic construction elements give the house a distinctive character. The expandable attic is particularly interesting, offering additional potential for a future expansion of the residential or usable areas.

The current condition is expressly to be assessed as requiring complete renovation or refurbishment.

The property is therefore aimed particularly at buyers who are not looking for a finished house, but who value the opportunity to develop a property from the ground up according to their own ideas.

DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL

A key appeal of this property lies in its existing zoning designation and the associated scope for development. Under the currently valid land-use plan, the plot is designated as a village area with a building density of 0.2 to 1.0. This opens up interesting prospects for restructuring and the contemporary development of the existing building.

For example, the creation of several smaller, high-quality residential units could be considered. A concept with larger holiday apartments or a combination of different apartment sizes could likewise be interesting.

The specific number and size of possible residential units, as well as any extension or new construction, must however be coordinated in advance with the municipality and the responsible authorities and assessed under building law.

The usage options presented are therefore expressly understood as development perspectives and not as already approved projects.

A LOCATION WITH DISTINCTIVE CHARACTER

Pürgg – the “crib of Styria”

Pürgg is one of those places that one does not simply visit – one experiences it. The historic village is picturesquely situated above the Enns Valley and is characterized by an exceptional alpine landscape. Peter Rosegger called Pürgg the “crib of Styria” because of its romantic location. The historic parish church, the Johannes Chapel with its Romanesque frescoes, the mountain cemetery and the characteristic buildings give the village its unmistakable appearance.

Pürgg stands for peace, nature, authenticity and quality of life – and at the same time for a touristically attractive location within the Schladming-Dachstein adventure region. Hikes, mountain tours, cycling excursions and numerous leisure opportunities make the region a year-round destination. In winter, cross-country skiing and winter sports opportunities are also in the immediate regional vicinity.

Pürgg itself conveys something that has become increasingly rare today: authenticity.

A picturesque, largely car-free historic village center, traditional architecture and the extraordinary landscape create an environment that is equally interesting for owner-occupiers and discerning holiday guests. The current tourist offering in Pürgg also demonstrates the high demand for high-quality stays in this special setting.

TOURIST APPEAL

Pürgg’s tourist positioning has long been established. A particularly prominent example is the traditional Gasthaus Krenn, which has been part of the village’s history for centuries and today operates a high-quality hospitality concept under the TAUROA brand, with a guesthouse, suites and residences. The current offering ranges from rooms and suites to spacious residences of around 100 to 188 m². Thus, a high-quality tourist offering is already established in the immediate surroundings, underlining the location’s particular appeal. Pürgg is also a starting point for hikes, excursions and nature experiences and benefits from its integration into the touristically strong Schladming-Dachstein region.

For a future owner, this opens up interesting considerations regarding high-quality tourist use, provided that this is permissible under building law and the applicable regulations in the specific case.

RESTRICTION ON SECONDARY RESIDENCES

A restriction on secondary residences applies to the property.

This framework condition must be appropriately taken into account in future use and particularly in tourist or residential development. For this reason, prior to specific project planning, coordination with the municipality and an examination of the spatial-planning, building-law and registration-law framework conditions are required.

VARIOUS USAGE OPTIONS

The particular quality of this property lies in its flexibility.

PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL USE

Owner-occupiers have the opportunity to create an exceptional home with individual character from the existing house. For example, a careful renovation of the existing building could be considered, preserving historic elements while integrating modern building services and contemporary living quality.

The existing attic space could – subject to the building-law requirements – offer additional residential potential.

SEVERAL RESIDENTIAL UNITS

Due to the plot size, the existing building structure and the designated building density, restructuring into several smaller residential units is also fundamentally worth examining as an interesting development option.

Smaller, high-quality renovated apartments in such a special location could appeal to an interesting target group.

TOURIST USE

Another perspective lies in the development of high-quality holiday apartments or tourist residential units. The combination of the historic village setting, nature experiences, peace, tourist infrastructure and integration into the Schladming-Dachstein adventure region creates fundamentally attractive location conditions for this purpose.

Whether and to what extent tourist rental is permissible and economically feasible must be clarified bindingly with the municipality and the responsible authorities before project planning.

THE SPECIAL APPEAL: TURNING OLD INTO NEW

Old wooden floors, traditional construction elements and the characteristic architecture form an authentic basis for an exceptional renovation project.

Instead of replacing a historic building with an arbitrary standard solution, a concept could be created here that combines tradition and contemporary architecture:

Old wood. Clear lines. High-quality materials. Modern building services. Alpine architecture.

In this way, a special property could emerge from a building currently in need of comprehensive renovation, one that reflects the character of Pürgg while meeting modern standards.

AN INVESTMENT WITH VISION

PÜRgg 20 is not a classic existing property. It is a development property in an exceptional location.

The combination of

• 619 m² plot
• approx. 170 m² of existing residential usable area
• 8 rooms across 3 levels
• expandable attic
• garage and parking space
• village area
• building density 0.2–1.0
• touristically attractive location
• and the special atmosphere of Pürgg

makes this property particularly interesting for buyers who recognize potential and are prepared to develop it with a well-considered concept.

Whether a private retreat, multigenerational house, several high-quality apartments or – following the relevant assessment and approval – tourist use:

This story does not begin with a finished concept. It begins with an exceptional starting point.

PÜRGG – A PIECE OF AN UNTOUCHED WORLD

Perhaps Pürgg can best be described with a simple thought:

A piece of an untouched world.

A place where historic houses, alpine landscape, peace and living tradition come together. And that is precisely what makes this property special. Whoever invests here acquires more than land and a building.

They acquire the opportunity to create something special in one of the most distinctive places in Styria.

I look forward to viewing the property with you!
