Description of the Maiensäss hutThose seeking absolute peace and the authentic feeling of life in the mountains will find something truly rare here: This object is located in a completely idyllic sunny woodland clearing, surrounded by a beautiful stock of larch trees. A retreat, as can only be found rarely.The house is accessible via a short, comfortable footpath; the car can be parked about 50 meters above the property.The basis of the property is convincing: The traditional wooden block construction and the roof are in impeccable condition. Typical for the alpine location, nature is at work here: On the mountain side, the mountain pressure is noticeable. It is recommended to excavate the soil slightly and create a professional drainage system. The development is uncomplicated – controlled drinking water from the municipality of Ergisch is already available, and the functional septic tank is located on the property.Inside, the cottage needs a refresh, where your own ideas can be realized. The old stretch ceilings and plate floors should be completely renewed. In the bathroom (with sink), the installation of a toilet should be prepared. On the technical side, the solar system and the chimney pipe should also be replaced during the renovation.The energy concept fits perfectly into this natural setting: Currently, cooking is done on a gas stove or on a wood-fired oven. In the kitchen, a traditional wood-fired oven provides cozy warmth. Since the property includes a generous amount of its own forest, it makes sense to rely on a combined wood-fired oven for cooking and heating in the future – more sustainable, independent, and cozy than living in the midst of larch forests.An honest object with a strong foundation and invaluable location for individualists and nature lovers.Room layoutLiving floor • Kitchen • Cozy dining area • Living room • Bathroom with sink Gallery • Sleeping facilities Annex • A practical tool shed for equipment, wood, and material.
