Sometimes, surprisingly little house is needed to accommodate quite a lot of the good life.
Not far from IST Austria, the elite university in Maria Gugging, lies this approximately 639 m² large plot of land. Politically, it already belongs to Hintersdorf, but geographically, it feels much closer to home in Klosterneuburg. One of those locations where the municipal boundary says one thing, but daily life feels quite different.
From the street, the plot reveals little at first. While many houses in the area are immediately adjacent to the street, this one intentionally keeps a low profile. The small wooden house is set back well into the garden, almost nestled against the forest. Only when you enter the property and follow the gently descending path does it fully reveal itself.
In front, the street remains, behind, the well-maintained, pleasantly manageable garden opens up, and at the very end, instead of the next row of houses, the forest awaits. The house is placed exactly where it feels most harmonious: protected, surrounded by greenery, and far enough from the street to retreat a little from the world. More connection to nature is almost only possible with hiking boots.
In the middle stands a small wooden house from 1970. But “wooden house” almost sounds too simple: it is a timber-frame house, crafted with meticulous carpentry, and to this day, it retains a distinctive character that mass-produced houses can hardly imitate.
Approximately 53 m² of living space are available. Not overly large, but well utilized and surprisingly complete. From the entrance hall, you access the bedroom, a passage room, the living area, and the bathroom with shower and toilet.
The kitchen forms the cozy center of the house. The visible wooden ceiling reminds one of what this little house is made of, while large windows and the direct exit to the terrace almost bring the garden inside to the dining table. From here, you look into the greenery and further towards the forest—a view that, happily, does not require a mountain hike to enjoy.
The living room also appears bright and friendly. Light wooden paneling, a pleasant floor, and a view into the garden give the room that unpretentious coziness often sought in small houses, which is hard to replace with many square meters.
The house is winter-proof and heated with a gas system. It is therefore suitable not only for summer weekends but can be used all year round. At the front along the street, there is a private garage; beneath it, an additional cellar space offers room for garden tools, supplies, and all those things that even a small house can surprisingly accumulate over time.
Outside, the garden takes over.
An own well is available and has so far been used for watering the garden. The associated house water pump was renewed in 2026 and still has a warranty. Especially with a plot of this size, this is one of those details that will be appreciated especially during the next dry summer.
Of course, the little house dates back to 1970, and of course, a new owner can bring their own ideas. But here, nobody starts from zero. The house stands, it works, it can be heated, and it is not waiting for a big staging. Maybe a bit of fresh paint, maybe new ideas— but primarily, it awaits people who recognize how pleasantly little one actually needs when everything around is right.
A manageable house, a well-utilized garden, and the forest immediately behind. Close enough to Klosterneuburg to organize everyday life conveniently, and far enough into nature to leave it behind for a while.
Call me to arrange an appointment; I look forward to personally showing you this charming gem.
