The main house originally was built and occupied by a prominent village market judge and salt manufacturer in the 18th century. Extensive renovations have transformed the estate into a modern and luxurious place to live. The new owner may choose to maintain the estate as a private home, or convert it to multi-family or business use. The main house is a traditional four story alpine villa with twenty two rooms.
Every detail speaks to the highest quality of workmanship and respect for historical tradition.
The result of modern renovations is a home of unparalleled luxury in a setting that has inspired fairytales for generations. The estate includes the main house plus wooden side buildings, a wooden boathouse, and a lot on Hallstatt Lake. Today's property rights include the land, buildings and easements that were based on the regulations established after a devastating fire in 1750 that destroyed most of the town. Following the devastation, the town placed a ban on storing or handing firewood in homes. As compensation, homeowners received waterfront properties on which they were allowed to establish wood storage facilities.
