We had been looking for an Alpine home for a while, mainly from developers or existing stock. We came across this plot of land for sale by chance when skiing in the village one New Year holiday. We returned 2 weeks later and had an offer excepted by the owner, the local fire chief. We tended for local builders and found a great builder at a trade fair in Salzburg. We designed the house together and we are delighted with the result.
We love Dachstein West as it is a bit off the beaten track, yet only 1 hr from Salzburg for shopping and culture. The Christmas markets are great in December even if you're a non skier. The skiing is fabulous, no waiting for lifts. Spring /Summer provides a sense of fresh air and peace.
