Villa Salzkammergut Darling

Short description

Situated in the picturesque spa town of Bad Ischl – at the heart of the Salzkammergut and designated European Capital of Culture 2024 – this exceptional villa lies in a setting once favoured by the Emperor for his summer retreat. With its expansive layout and a private top-floor apartment, the property offers the perfect retreat for refined family living. A standout feature is the idyllic garden oasis with a natural swimming pond and captivating views of the Katrin mountain.

Located in a peaceful, sought-after villa district, the home ensures complete privacy. The historic Kurpark and riverside Esplanade are just a 10-minute walk away, while nearby mountains and lakes offer limitless outdoor recreation. The acclaimed Katrin cable car – regarded as the region’s most scenic – is practically on the doorstep.

At the heart of the home is a light-filled living and dining area with a custom-built kitchen, set on the garden level beneath airy 3-metre ceilings. A traditional tiled stove lends character to the dining room, while floor-to-ceiling glazing opens onto a sun-soaked terrace and the secluded garden, where dragonflies dance above the natural pond. The master bedroom enjoys a balcony with morning sun, and the luxurious bathroom features an oversized double shower, bathtub, and a private sauna/steam room. The top floor forms a self-contained apartment, bathed in natural light from generous skylights. It includes a spacious living room, kitchen, bathroom, and two versatile rooms – ideal as guest accommodation, an atelier, or independent unit.HWB 117
