139 Plots for sale in Vorarlberg – Page 3

The term Grundstücke refers to land areas that can be used as building land — in Vorarlberg usually to erect a single-family house or another building. Such building plots are sought-after and often scarce. This is partly due to the limited area: Vorarlberg is a small federal state between Lake Constance and the Alps, so building land is scarce.

On the other hand, many people here value the high quality of life, which makes owning a house with a garden and terrace appealing for families in this environment. All the more important is to carefully check before the purchase of a plot: Is the plot designated as building land and is construction actually permitted?

Not every free plot is automatically a building plot — spatial planning in Vorarlberg is strict and many areas are designated as green land. You should also check the land register to see whether third-party rights exist or conditions are recorded.

Vorarlberg is characterized by varied Locations. In the surroundings of the larger towns like Dornbirn, Feldkirch and Bregenz you’ll find plots with good infrastructure; municipalities such as Hohenems, Lustenau, Hard and Lauterach in the Rhine Valley also offer building plots. At the same time, quieter locations in the Walgau and in the Montafon (for example in Sankt Gallenkirch) and on the shores of Lake Constance (Hörbranz or Lochau) attract those seeking nature-close living and sometimes even lake views.

There are both idyllic locations on the edge of the forest with a recreational area right on the doorstep and plots in the heart of towns where shopping facilities and infrastructure are on site. The quality of life is high; even remote districts like Ebnit or Oberhaggen have their charm.

Plots differ not only in the size of the area but also in their amenities and surroundings. An important factor is whether the plot is already serviced — that is, whether connections for electricity, water and sewer are available. Fully serviced building plots make construction easier. Transport connections also play a major role: is there a rail connection or a bus line nearby?

A quiet cul-de-sac promises a pleasant residential atmosphere, while a plot on the main road may be central but a bit noisier. Many buyers pay attention to whether supermarkets, kindergartens, schools and doctors are reachable within a few minutes' walk — in short, that the surroundings provide everything for daily needs. A recreational area directly on the doorstep (for example a park or forest) increases the leisure value. All these features influence the price and the feeling of living in the new place.

Those looking for a plot in Vorarlberg usually use real estate listings and online portals. Through targeted searches, for example on Lystio, you get a good overview of current offers in the Vorarlberg area. The ads contain important information such as the address (Hohenemserstrasse in Hohenems or Scheibenstraße in Lustenau), the plot size, the price and special features.

Often the location is described in flowery terms, e.g. “quietly located on Forststraße” or “idyllically on Vergaldenweg”. Street names like “Bahngasse” indicate proximity to the station. If no purchase price is stated, the ad often says “Price on request”. The keyword “opportunity” also signals an attractive offer. Terms like obj_regio1 are internal categories for the region and not relevant for buyers.

1. High prices: Plot prices in Vorarlberg are among the highest in Austria — around 700 to 800 euros per m².
2. Scarce building land: Building land is scarce — only a small portion of Vorarlberg's total area is designated as building land, since large parts are mountainous and undevelopable.
3. Nature and infrastructure: Vorarlberg offers nature-close plots with good infrastructure — this results in a high quality of life.
4. Good connections: The state is well connected by rail and bus, so even municipalities like Frastanz, Schlins or Nofels have good accessibility to the nearest larger towns.
5. Partial sale possible: Often not the entire plot is sold, but only a partial area — it is important that the division is correctly recorded and approved in the land register.
