For sale: art-lodge – Barn with 5 apartments & 4 TinyHouses

The story behind

Two advertising professionals left their careers behind, took over an old Alpine inn in the heart of the sunny Carinthian Nockberge Mountains in 2007, transformed it into the multi-award-winning Hotel art-lodge**** (GEO Saison 2014/Top 10 Mountain Hotels in Europe) and have continued to develop their retreat, featuring a main building currently used as an art gallery, a fully renovated Barn with five holiday apartments, and four TinyHouses (GEO SAISON 2019: The 100 Most Beautiful Hotels in Europe). Now the two owners would like to “downsize,” sell part of their property, and find new neighbors in the process. The owners would like to continue living in part of the property and devote more time to their art projects.

The Barn with 5 apartments and the 4 TinyHouses are for sale. The combination of the Barn and the TinyHouses is ideal as a small resort.

Location

The property is located in a quiet, easily accessible area with fantastic panoramic views in the border triangle of Austria, Italy, and Slovenia: Lake Afritz is about 10 minutes away, Lake Ossiach about 30 minutes, and Lake Millstatt 45 minutes away. The nearest ski resorts, Bad Kleinkirchheim and Gerlitzen, are both about 35 minutes away. Ljubljana is 1 hour away, Udine is 1.5 hours, Trieste is 2.5 hours, and Venice is 3.5 hours by car. The nearest city, Villach (directly on the A10/Tauern Autobahn, with an ÖBB main train station), is 20 minutes away. Klagenfurt Airport is 50 minutes away, Ljubljana Airport is 60 minutes away, and Trieste Airport is 120 minutes away.

The Barn

The building was originally used for agricultural purposes and is about 300 years old. In 2008, the Barn was converted into a residential and vacation property with great respect for its original character and a keen eye for modern living standards. The Barn can be flexibly used as a private residence, vacation home, apartment building, or multi-family home.

XL Studio on the ground floor for up to 2 adults and 4 children
