Grand Historic Castle Estate

About the Property

This historic luxury estate is the most attractive and fascinating castle complex in Eastern Austria which is now on sale. This splendid jewel once belonged to the illustrious Bonaparte, Liechtenstein and Habsburg families. The estate combines a multitude of advantages and impresses with its incredibly green and quiet location, while still being conveniently connected to Vienna, which is only a short highway-drive of 25 km away. The main manor was built in 1895 by Archduke Otto von Habsburg, father of the last Austrian Emperor Karl, who celebrated his 18th birthday at this site. The estate itself is accessible from the East via a kilometer-long driveway through one of the most prominent and impressive English landscaped parks in Austria. Via a second paved driveway the castle may be reached from the west portal. Unlike typical classicist castles, this building exudes a pleasant and homely flair, romantically situated on an artificial lake. The property has been lavishly renovated to the latest standards with great attention to detail and leaves virtually nothing to be desired. It is the ideal residence for a generous investor who knows how to represent and impress with quality, style, and space. In addition to the private area, the castle has a guest wing and elegant event area for exclusive occasions. The extensive park is a place of power with centuries-old trees. It has outstanding attractions such as the unique masonic garden grotto. This building – created with the proportions of the Pantheon in Rome – is a mystic place: with its underground labyrinth and its central circular temple hall it is ideally suited for an exclusive reception or an extraordinary event. Rarely does a property offer its residents and guests such a true paradise of tranquility and privacy within an extensive park, while the cultural metropolis of Vienna – a city rich in history, culture, and business opportunities – lies just nearby. Renowned artists such as Mozart, Salieri, Beethoven and Hetzendorf composed music or designed architectural masterpieces for this exquisite estate. The shaped and well-maintained part of the park, which covers 30 ha, is completely private, fenced and secluded: It provides a maximum of distinctiveness and privateness. The 130 hectares include surrounding hunting grounds with an old hunting lodge and an agricultural farm. Several outbuildings and a deer enclosure complete the offer. This historic luxury estate is waiting for a new visionary who recognizes the potential of this domain and develops it further.
