House for sale 5+1 • 120 m² without real estatePrössinggraben 14 St. Gertraud Kärnten 9413

For sale is an immediately habitable single-family house with modernization potential, built in solid timber construction, offering approximately 120 m² of living space, a plot of about 4,155 m², and an adjoining forest area of 16.4 hectares.

Purchase price: €472,000.00 (private sale, no agent fees).

This property combines a solid building structure with independence (four natural springs, its own forest), tranquility, and good accessibility.

The property is situated in a sunny, quiet location with views at an altitude between 620 and 870 m above sea level on the eastern edge of the Prössinggraben near St. Gertraud, in the future Lavanttal region, nestled between two extensive alpine pastures – the Koralpe and the Saualpe.

The House

The residential house, constructed in solid timber, is immediately habitable and provides a solid basis for gradual modernization.

It was built around 1940 by a timber master for himself and his family and has been continuously maintained since then.

It features:

• Approximately 120 m² of living space with a sensible, functional layout (entrance area, combined kitchen with dining room, living room, one separately accessible room, and a bathroom on the ground floor; 2 bedrooms and a storage room on the first floor)

• 2 separately accessible basement areas: a brick-built, dry basement and an earth cellar (partially underground)

• Its own driveway

• Fully functional heating and electricity supply (individual wood stoves)

• Electrical system: fully operational with RCDs, regularly inspected and meeting the standards of a well-maintained existing building

• Roof: fully inspected in 2018 and partly re-roofed at that time; overall in very good condition

The building is currently rented out and fully functional.

Aesthetic adjustments and potential modernizations of the building systems can be planned well and implemented economically, as the basic structure is in excellent condition.

Own Springs – Independent Water Supply

On the property, four natural springs of proven drinking water quality emerge, all located exclusively on the premises. Three of the springs are properly harnessed and supply drinking water for the house.

A fourth spring is present, although it is not yet fully harnessed.

For many years, a small agricultural operation with small livestock and extensive horticulture was run on the property, fully supplied by these private spring sources. The stable and autonomous water supply to this day is ideally suited for the house, garden, agriculture, small livestock, or permaculture projects.

Forest with Economic and Ecological Value

The well-maintained mixed forest (predominantly spruce, beech, maple, larch, fir) belonging to the house covers 16.4 hectares and has a wood reserve of approximately 3,000 cubic meters of solid wood. The stock is stable, and the area is very well accessed by a 2.5 km long forest road.

Thus, the forest offers both long-term energy security and a renewable asset that can be partly refinanced through self-harvesting or sale.

Optional Expansion of the Forest Area:

Directly adjacent to the offered forest area, there is an additional forest (14.64 hectares) owned by an external party. This can, if desired, be purchased separately and independently of the property offered here.

Potential and Uses

Ideal for those who wish to invest in tranquility, independence, and sustainability:

• A second home or retreat for families or couples

• A combination of living, working, and managing nature

• A long-term investment with ongoing wood yield
