About this house

This exceptional listed property is no ordinary house, but a historic family home with established substance, spaciousness and diverse uses. Located in the lively village of Wons­ees, it combines baroque character with space for modern country living – ideal for families, multigenerational living or living with additional space requirements.

The origins of the house date back to 1724, with careful extensions in 1857 and an expansion of the upper floor from around 2005. Solid natural stone walls up to approx. 85 cm thick define its fortress-like character and ensure a balanced indoor climate as well as exceptional peace and quiet. The combination of the old building and extension allows flexible floor plan solutions: there are currently two spacious residential units, which can be further divided if required.

A total of around 330 m² of living space and approx. 465 m² of usable floor space are available. The space is complemented by a sheltered courtyard, balcony, rock garden, a large workshop, an impressive rock cellar and extensive ancillary areas. The gross floor area is around 934 m², impressively underscoring the size and substance of the ensemble.

The property has been continuously maintained in recent years. In addition to the comprehensive roof renewal (2017) and heating system repairs (2025), numerous other measures have been implemented or prepared. As a listed building, the house is not subject to the usual GEG requirements, providing long-term planning certainty.

This house is aimed at people seeking a permanent home with history, space and character – a place where generations can come together.
