Chalet meets minimalism: a gem of a country house with sweeping views and a guest flat near the lake

This villa is situated in Ammerland, one of the most sought-after and enchanting spots on Lake Starnberg. Set amidst nature and within walking distance of the sun-drenched eastern shore of the lake, this residence combines an authentic Alpine exterior – which blends harmoniously into the idyllic pre-Alpine landscape – with stylish interiors that exude urban sophistication with a touch of glamour.

Oak, exposed screed and brass. Nestled in a well-preserved neighbourhood with sweeping views of the countryside. Cool, yet cosy. Breathtaking abundance of light and a sense of airy spaciousness. This exclusive property is one of a kind, reflecting the extraordinary vision of the current owners whilst prioritising spatial functionality, well-thought-out floor plans and family-friendly design. A complete refurbishment, including a redesign, took place in 2015. The architect and interior designer Maren Weitz (formerly of the architectural practice Arnold/Werner) is largely responsible for the perfectly harmonious and successful design. The designs were realised to the highest standards of craftsmanship.

The finest materials, high-quality bespoke fittings, a professionally planned lighting scheme, a BUS system, a security system and two fireplaces combine to create a top-class property. In addition to the main house, there is a self-contained two-bedroom granny flat, an au pair’s room with its own external access, and a separate studio with a bathroom. A highlight is the magnificent garden with a sun terrace and a covered lounge area complete with an outdoor fireplace. A spacious, heated double garage rounds off this incredibly versatile property perfectly.
