Description
Exclusive villa with historic flair and modern luxury – a rare find, suitable for office, practice, or commercial use near Graz. This exceptional property, with a net living area of 1,623.19 m², uniquely combines history, architecture, and contemporary living comfort. Situated on an impressive plot of approximately 20,000 m², the villa offers an unparalleled ambiance and the highest living standards – in close proximity to Graz. History & Architecture: The origins of the property date back to the 15th century. The original building, dating from 1480, underwent extensive renovations around 1492 and again in 1980. A further significant expansion took place in 2010–2011 with the addition of a modern reinforced concrete and glass extension. This now houses the exclusive wellness and fitness area, complete with a spacious indoor pool. The historic walls, some up to 90 cm thick, the vaulted ceilings with lunettes, and the continuous barrel vault in the cellar underscore the villa's unique character. The central basement room currently serves as a passageway and impresses with its size and architectural substance. Ground-level access to the basement was created in the 1980s by removing the soil in front of it; a further access gate from the north was added later. Extension & Features: The modern extension to the north blends harmoniously with the historic building. Generous, dark glass facades create an elegant yet discreet atmosphere. The ground floor of this extension houses an unfinished indoor pool complex (12.5 x 6 m, depth 1.50 to 2.20 m) with adjacent fitness and wellness areas, a relaxation zone, and restrooms. An elevator shaft is also present. The basement houses numerous functional and utility rooms, including: several parking spaces in the garage, 2-3 covered carport parking spaces, technical rooms (pool equipment, water softening, pool expansion tank), 2 private wells, geothermal and gas central heating (with underfloor heating), office, storage areas, and a workshop pit (for vehicles). Living Space & Expansion Potential: The areas of the former cellar courtyard, as well as the levels on the ground floor, first floor, and attic level 1, are currently used for residential purposes. They can, of course, also be used as a practice or office. Renovation work has begun on the attic level 2 and is underway. These areas are also intended for high-quality residential use. Technology & Comfort: A fully automated smart home system allows for the convenient control of numerous functions – from lighting and shading to the integrated BOSE sound system. High-quality aluminum windows with electric blinds underscore the superior standard of finish. Heating is provided by a gas central heating system and an energy-efficient geothermal heating system. Exterior Areas & Access: The impressive, stone-paved forecourt in front of the main entrance to the south extends to the public road and is enclosed by two high-quality, electrically operated gates. The villa is accessible from both the south and the north. Additional Plot (Optional): Opposite the villa is a separate plot of approximately 6,000 m² with a large storage area and four carports. This area is included in the purchase price but can be separated from the main property if not needed. The zoning designation is "WA" (General Residential) with a building density of 0.2–0.4.
