Description
Property Description: Kolhof Castle in Völkermarkt is undoubtedly one of the most impressive historic properties in Carinthia – not only due to its striking appearance and stylishly preserved structure, but above all due to its extraordinary versatility. Whether as an exclusive private residence with a spacious park, as a prestigious company headquarters with cultural aspirations, as an equestrian estate, an event venue, or in combination with agricultural use – here, opportunities arise that are rarely found. The complex consists of several structurally independent yet harmoniously coordinated building sections, all of which have been completely renovated with high architectural standards and attention to detail. The listed castle was restored with great sensitivity. Historical elements such as vaulted ceilings, casement windows, doors, and floors were preserved, refurbished, and integrated into a modern utilization concept that masterfully combines comfort and history. Since its renovation, the castle has been used almost exclusively as a museum – the rooms are therefore empty, unobstructed, and immediately usable for new ideas: whether for living, working, art, or culture. The new catering area is an architectural highlight: directly adjacent to the historic south wing, a high-quality, light-filled restaurant wing with a bar area and a spacious panoramic terrace in front of it has been created. This modern cube offers around 130 m² of interior space, a fully equipped commercial kitchen and was until recently home to a renowned, award-winning restaurant - its reactivation would be possible immediately. Conversion into residential space also seems conceivable and stylistically consistent. The charming guest house - formerly a servants' quarters - has also been lovingly renovated. Three bedrooms, a spacious bathroom and bright, comfortable rooms offer space for guests, employees or a multi-generational concept. All parts of the building are in exceptionally good condition. The renovation was carried out with an eye on sustainability, technology, aesthetics and respect for the historic building fabric. Kolhof Castle is therefore much more than just a place to live & work...

Over 600 fruit trees, expansive meadows, fields, and woodland surround the listed ensemble.
