For sale: art-lodge – Main House, Carinthia/Austria

Background: two advertising professionals quit their day jobs, take over an old alpine farmstead in the heart of the sunny Carinthian Nockberge mountains in 2007, transform it into the multi-award-winning art-lodge**** hotel (named in GEO Saison 2014 / Top 10 mountain hotels in Europe) and continue to develop their hideaway, with a main building currently used as an art gallery, a completely renovated barn with 5 holiday apartments and four TinyHouses (named in GEO SAISON 2019 / Most beautiful 100 hotels in Europe).
Now the two owners want to sell part of their property and find new neighbours. The owners would like to stay in part of the complex and focus more on their art projects.
