It is located on the north side of the Rhone Valley on a sunny slope in the middle of vineyards. Together with the mountain village of Erschmatt, which lies on a plateau of the Leuker Sonnenberge, the municipality of Leuk radiates a special charm. Thanks to its central location and well-developed public transport network, Leuk offers a high quality of life and living. With the housing promotion program and the municipal contributions for energy-efficient construction, the attractiveness of Leuk as a residential community could be successfully increased in recent years. The house is located in a sunny spot near the Beckmühle in Leuk, just a few minutes' walk from the village shop, school, and restaurants. Description of the property This charming detached house with a net living area of 95 m2 combines historical character with modern living comfort. The house was completely demolished in 1995, except for the foundation walls on the ground floor. Only the load-bearing exterior walls were retained on the ground floor, which were adapted to the current building standard with a larch wood cladding. Thus, the original charm of the house could be preserved. The renovation was carried out according to the current building regulations and includes thermal insulation that exceeds the prescribed requirements. The house therefore surpasses today's energy standards. On the ground floor, there is a cozy room and a modern, equipped kitchen with elegant high-gloss fronts, granite countertops, and high-quality appliances. Also on the ground floor is a bright bathroom with a shower, toilet, and sink, equipped with an electrical and water connection for the washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as with thoughtful integrated built-in cabinets. The light-filled living area is equipped with a fireplace that not only creates atmosphere but also convinces functionally thanks to its heat retention function. Electrically controlled shutters provide additional comfort. Upstairs, there is another bathroom with a corner bathtub, toilet, and sink. Two more bedrooms offer enough space for individual living ideas and have direct access to the sunny balcony. From here, a fantastic view of the Rhone Valley opens up. The floors of the house are mostly covered with noble natural stone, while in the bathroom on the ground floor, easy-to-maintain ceramic tiles were used. The house is heated by an environmentally friendly heat pump, and the heat is distributed via underfloor heating. In winter, during sunshine, the solar collector system takes over the heating function. The hot water preparation is done via modern solar collectors, and in winter, partially via an electric boiler, another proof of the sustainable and thoughtful orientation of this special property. The house has so far been used exclusively by the owner as a holiday home and has not been offered for rent.
