The property is located at the end of a private access road on the edge of the forest in the Ramseiden district of Saalfelden and boasts a fantastic, unobstructed panoramic view of the Steinerne Meer, the Kitzsteinhorn and the peaks of the Leogang mountains. The spacious natural swimming pond in the garden is far more than just a design highlight: it becomes the focal point of life in and around the house and creates a very special feel-good atmosphere.
With around 260 m² of living space, the house combines openness with pleasant retreats. Generous glass surfaces, high-quality materials and a clear room layout create a light-flooded, peaceful living atmosphere. The entrance area provides a stylish entrance with a custom-made checkroom with integrated seating and forms the prelude to the quiet first floor level.
On the first floor there is a bedroom and a separate dressing room, which is directly adjacent. There is a further room next door that can be used flexibly as an additional dressing area, storage room or individual storage space. A further bedroom on this level is equipped with its own en suite bathroom, shower and WC and offers a secluded, comfortable retreat. The space is complemented by an additional spacious storage room and a separate utility room.
Another part of the first floor offers plenty of scope for individual ideas. Two openly connected rooms have already been prepared in such a way that a private wellness area can be created here with little effort. A separate shower and WC are available, and a connection for a sauna has been prepared. The direct access to the swimming pond via an external staircase is particularly harmonious - perfect for anyone who wants a combination of warmth, water and nature.
The upper floor is flooded with light and offers a generous amount of space. A bright entrance hall with floor-to-ceiling windows connects the living and sleeping areas and sets stylish accents with an illuminated stainless steel planter and a large exterior window with an artfully staged wolf object made of driftwood. Exposed wooden beams throughout the upper floor give the house its alpine character and radiate a warm, natural coziness.
The large living area with fireplace forms the heart of the house. Inside, the fireplace clad in animal-print leather tiles creates a modern coziness, while the view through the large floor-to-ceiling window elements makes you feel as if you were right in the middle of nature.

The separate guest shower room completes the floor. All bedrooms have external blinds and fly screens. A separate guest toilet completes this level.
The outdoor areas blend harmoniously into the hillside location.

The jetty and various sunbathing areas make it a private retreat by the water. A prepared connection for a whirlpool further enhances the wellness offer in the garden.
The whole thing is rounded off by a spacious driveway with a carport including an electric charging point and additional outdoor parking spaces. The stone façade underlines the high-quality, natural character of the house. Technically, the property boasts an air heat pump, underfloor heating in all rooms, quadruple-glazed Internorm wood-aluminum windows with electric blinds and fly screens as well as high-quality fittings from Mafi, Villeroy & Boch, Voglauer and Keuco.
