Description
Property Description: Located in the heart of the town of Gmunden lies a property steeped in extraordinary history and charisma: the estate – once part of the Cumberland Castle estate, it was closely associated with the House of Hanover for decades and served as a supply facility for the ducal family. Today, it is a lovingly maintained rural and farm idyll in a secluded urban location. In 1954, Queen Friederika of Greece and Prince Ernst August of Hanover sold the property to the current owner family, who carefully expanded the historic ensemble into a manor house and have lovingly maintained it to this day. The approach is an experience in itself: you reach the property via idyllic country roads, pass through an archway, and follow a private dirt road that leads across the grounds to the farm complex. Over the years, a stable wing with expansion potential, a manager's apartment and an employee's apartment, a guest house, a garage, a private chapel, a library, a stylish knights' hall, and a private pool wing for year-round use have been built. The farm's original character has always been preserved - visible in the traditional building forms, the well-kept park and the numerous historical details. Around 21 hectares of enclosed grassland, fields and forest now form a refuge for people and animals. A private water source and a 12 kWp PV system (2022) even ensure the step towards self-sufficient supply. Despite the idyllic seclusion, urban infrastructure is close at hand: the center of Gmunden and Lake Traunsee can be reached in just a few minutes.
