Charming renovation object in the Rarnerkumme
Some houses tell stories, this one almost four centuries of them. In the Rarnerkumme, a powerful block construction made of dark burnt larch wood rises above a white plastered natural stone base, flanked on both sides by arbors, under a stone slab roof. Through stone-framed round arch doors, you enter rooms full of character. The heart of the house is the first upper floor. The spacious kitchen with a historic fireplace (old Trächa) invites you to combine old and new. It borders the living room, which receives warm light through small mullioned windows. In between stands a Giltstein oven with an IHS monogram and the year 1631. From the arbor, you look out into the Rhone valley. On the second upper floor, a bright loft with a new wooden ceiling, a decorated Giltstein oven, and access to the arbor awaits you, next to two quiet rooms in block construction. Under the roof lies a freshly renovated attic room. In the stone ground floor, you will find another room with a wooden stove and basement rooms. The basement is accessible via a staircase from the living room and via a separate external access, where a bathroom could be built with a wall breakthrough. In addition, there are four spacious, externally accessible cellar rooms. In recent years, new staircases and woodwork have been carried out in the second upper floor and in the attic. When renovating, your imagination knows no bounds, while block walls, Giltstein ovens, and round arches preserve the character. Whether a family home or a holiday refuge: a unique home is being created here. We would be happy to show you this exceptional property in person.
