A Place That Preserves the Past – and Shapes the Future
They say that those who linger in Reichenau can hear the echo of bygone times reverberating through the woods. Nestled among ancient chestnut trees, the gentle murmur of the spring water pipeline, and the clear air of the Raxalpe, this old hunting lodge rests as if untouched by time.
Built around 1892 – when Emperor Franz Joseph I resided in the Rudolfsvilla – it carries the charm of the imperial summer retreat. Whether hunting lodge or country residence, its stately character endures.
Between 2012 and 2015, it was restored with sensitivity, style, and profound respect for its history – over two and a half years, with love and attention to every last detail.
You feel it with every step: in the original double doors, the heavy latches, the venerable door frames, the etched glass panes. And yet:
This is a home for today – with all the comforts of modern living, wrapped in an ambience you’d only expect to see in the movies.
Spread across more than 2,200 m², this exceptional estate offers around 540 m² of living space, 11 rooms, and countless additional spaces – a canvas for spacious living and versatile possibilities.
A Room for Stories
Beyond the ornate mosaic tiles of the entrance hall unfolds a light-filled, serene, and stylish living salon of approx. 100 m².
The generous ceiling height adds a sense of space, real wood floors provide warmth, and three wrought-iron chandeliers draw the gaze upward. An open fireplace sets the tone.
The layout flows effortlessly: salon, library, dining area – with views into the greenery beyond.
Cooking with Style
The open Gaggenau kitchen is a feast for the eyes and the senses. Dark wooden cabinetry hides top-tier technology; a black natural stone island anchors the room. Above it floats a designer extractor hood – more art than appliance.
A place where cooking, enjoyment, and togetherness blend into one.
Step by Step into Tranquility
Up the staircase, the cool sheen of an artfully curved banister accompanies your ascent. At the top: a corridor reminiscent of a grand hotel – airy, spacious, welcoming.
The Gentlemen’s Lounge
Across from the staircase lies the refined gentlemen’s lounge – a room full of character and stories.
A stately double door opens onto a Chesterfield seating group surrounded by fine Art Nouveau furnishings. Here, the scent of old books lingers, along with the leather of the chairs – and sometimes a whisper of whiskey and cigars.
The quiet clack of billiard balls punctuates conversation; a small balcony opens out into nature.
Bedroom & Spa – A Retreat for Restoration
Next door, the bedroom: an invitation to feel held. Soft lighting, heavy curtains, warm hues – a space that leads into calm.
The bed is a sanctuary; nothing here is loud, everything breathes elegance and restraint. A space to let go.
Opposite lies a room for all the senses – a private spa promising retreat and renewal.
The day begins with a silent sun salutation, windows open, gazing into green – breath by breath, peace settles in.
Then comes movement: yoga and training merge with the quiet of the place.
Afterwards: pure regeneration. The KLAFS sauna is a glowing centerpiece; the infrared sanarium eases tensions; the solarium provides sunshine at the touch of a button.
Everything flows – thoughtful, refined, in perfect balance. A room that not only strengthens but transforms.
A Bathroom Like a Silent Work of Art
Spacious, filled with light, and that certain something:
A freestanding tub rests on pale stone, framed by warm wood. Next to it: an XL rain shower, frameless, with views into the green.
Two luxurious natural stone sinks line the wall, with a padded seat in between – part bath, part living space.
A place for rituals. And for stillness.
Across the Hall: The Dressing Room – Craftsmanship with Soul
Two distinct zones – one for HER, one for HIM – united by a shared sense of aesthetics, functionality, and generosity.
Custom-fitted cabinetry with silk-matte finishes, elegant lighting, a structure that brings order with ease.
For HER: a vanity with mirror, lighting, and storage reminiscent of historic theater dressing rooms.
For HIM: classic, clear, focused – space for tailored suits, hiking boots, and mementos of past adventures.
A room that starts the day with joy – and winds it down in style.
Under the Roof: A Refuge for Free Spirits
Three generously sized rooms express their own personalities – one a cozy bedroom, another a stylish office with presence.
A fully equipped kitchen makes the top floor a self-contained unit – thoughtful, comfortable, confident.
Another room and storage areas provide space for guests, ideas, or moments of solitude.
This attic is more than a conclusion – it is a world of its own, full of personality and poise.
What Begins Inside, Lives On Outside
And the wonder continues outdoors – seamlessly, effortlessly.
What begins indoors with character and elegance finds its perfect continuation in the garden, annex, and overall atmosphere.
The Outbuilding – A Space of Endless Possibilities
Where once stood the old barn now unfolds a spacious, open-to-above room, with a fully glazed front that creates an extraordinary connection to nature.
Without a ceiling, the space expands impressively, allowing air and light to flow into every corner.
Whether lively celebrations, inspiring seminars, or a private workout area – this space flexibly adapts to your desires.
A place that breathes history and lives in the now – open, bright, and free.
A Garden Where Landscape and Vitality Become One
Gently carved into the landscape, a one-of-a-kind outdoor area unfolds – terraced across multiple levels, each with its own charm and view.
Steps rise gently, inviting you to pause and opening up new perspectives on the surrounding forests and meadows that stretch to the horizon.
At the highest point of the property sits a pool area of rare quality: a retreat of elegance and joie de vivre.
Room to swim, relax, enjoy – and thanks to existing infrastructure, an outdoor kitchen can be easily realized, making life under the open sky complete.
This interplay of nature and architecture creates an atmosphere that invites you to dream – a quiet kind of luxury that continues under the stars.
