Chalet Larchhof, Volders, Austria

A magnificent newly renovated chalet with exclusive holiday home/Zweitwohnsitz permission in an extremely private location

Nestled on a hill above the Inn Valley, this historic chalet sits romantically in the middle of meadows surrounded by two forests.

The private driveway turns from the winding mountain road into a gravel path, leads through a short forest and soon the view opens up onto a large open alpine meadow, in the middle of which stands the stately chalet.

The main chalet and outbuilding have been completely renovated over the last three years and are in pristine condition. Larchhof sits in total privacy in a magnificent condition, together with the dedication as a holiday home make this property truly unique.

With a lot of hard work, energy and attention to detail and the expertise of local craftsmen, the owners have meticulously renovated the old farmhouse, partially renewed it and decorated it with original wooden ceilings, old parlor paneling and wrought iron details.

A historic property, sensitively renovated, which offers all the amenities of our modern world and can boast the latest technology, such as WiFi with Internet, alarm system and heating control via app on smartphone and tablet, camera surveillance in the outdoor area, Sonos music system and other finer details.

Larchhof impresses as soon as you enter with the large entrance area typical of a farmhouse, from which the cozy kitchen and opposite the beautiful wood-paneled parlor with a dining area for 12 people lead off. The hand-made porcelain tiled stove, the elaborate inlays of the table, the different woods used for the floor underline the unique mixture of simplicity and elegance that make up the charm of this farm.

Cloakroom, toilet, the original exit to the former food cellar with walls made of natural stone, which is now ideal for use as a wine cellar, and several beautifully furnished parlors are also on the ground floor.

A wide staircase leads to the upper floor, where there are further living rooms with very well-equipped bathrooms. As soon as you enter the principal suite, which is panelled with Swiss pine, the typical aromatic scent of the wood flows towards you and spreads comfort and warmth. The light-flooded threshing floor with gallery impresses with its sheer size and height. The room opens to the south side onto the large terrace, which gently merges into the open natural meadow. The covered loggia on the side with its spacious dining area is the ideal place in summer for relaxed gatherings of friends and family.

The garage has space for up to three cars and houses access to the pellet heating. Opposite the entrance to the farmhouse is the charming annex, which is covered by a beautiful climbing rose. A bathroom with shower on the ground floor is practical in summer when the garden is in use. It can be accessed directly from outside.

The highlight, however, is definitely the open panoramic glazed room that takes up the entire upper floor and offers an incredibly great view of the Nordkette. Perfect as a retreat, yoga room, studio, library or additional guest room.

Larchhof is located in the open country with a plot of land of approx. 6400 m2 for your own private use, secured partly by ownership, partly by easements secured in the land register. Keeping animals, a vegetable and fruit garden to provide for yourself, as well as the construction of a swimming pond would be possible.

The farm has a low-maintenance organic sewage treatment plant, the electricity is provided by the municipality and the own spring ensures the water supply all year round. The access to the house is secured in the land register and is also cleared in winter.
