Description
"STERNZUG" stands on its rocky promontory, as if the entire Ötztal valley belonged to its owner. Free and bold, the architect-designed villa towers above the village, a charming part of it, yet also its summit and crown! Those who live here rediscover themselves – they don't just want to try it, they want to stay. The mountain casts crystalline light in ever-changing hues onto the forest slopes, and when storms roll in, the peaks protect the valley with their enchanting rainbows. Where "STERNZUG" stands, myths and legends entwine around the most wonderful place in the Alps! The building: Designed and built in the mid-1970s by the specialist in local architecture, Horst Parson, the villa underwent extensive renovations from 2015 onwards, with great dedication to preserving its original character and a firm commitment to counter the raw power of the Ötztal valley – creating a sensitive and delicate jewel. Firmly embedded in the ancient rock of the Ötztal Alps, whose waters are exceptionally soft and provide the house with a secure foundation for eternity. According to HORA (Natural Hazard Overview & Risk Assessment Austria), "STERNZUG" lies outside any danger zone, on a total of 4,100 m² of plateau land. A private driveway at the end of a small cul-de-sac guarantees "the peace of the mountains." The entire building complex extends over four floors, with the rotunda of the unusual living area alone spanning three levels. Four bedrooms with panoramic views beyond the rotunda promise a restful sleep. The magnificent, fully equipped kitchen caters equally to those enjoying the terrace, breakfast enthusiasts, and those who love to dine. Three bathrooms and five toilets ensure that urgent needs are met with equanimity. A dip in the splendid 40 m² outdoor pool evokes the feeling of an eagle soaring over the wild valley at the foot of "STERNZUG." A few extra facts: No one in the area has ever needed an alarm system; If needed, a local couple can take care of the house and garden; an energy performance certificate has been commissioned and will be provided immediately upon receipt; the interior floors of "STERNZUG" are made of white epoxy resin, warm and irresistibly beautiful; a small, wooden lookout on the western property line can be repurposed as a sauna (or similar); this house can be your primary residence!
