7 room Detached house in Dicken bei Degersheim

In Dicken near Degersheim, a rare property with an unobstructed view, plenty of privacy, and around 1,900 m² of land awaits you.

Already upon arrival, it becomes clear what makes this house special: peace, width, and exceptional privacy.

This historic Toggenburger farmhouse with an attached barn is located at 930 meters above sea level at the end of a dead-end street. Only a hiking trail continues from there. The only direct neighbor is about 200 meters away and approximately 25 meters lower. The house is located directly on the border with Appenzellerland, but is in the canton of St. Gallen, offering its advantages. Meadows, pastures, and forests surround the house.

No through traffic, no street lighting, and no narrowness. Here you will find the opposite of densification: silence, width, fresh mountain air, and a clear starry sky at night, which is rarely experienced today. A place to leave the city behind, breathe deeply, and come back to rest.

Thanks to the high altitude, you can often enjoy an impressive view of the fog sea and the surrounding mountains.

Despite the exceptionally secluded location, access is guaranteed all year round. The road is also cleared in winter. Several outdoor parking spaces are available in front of the house.

Historic character and modern comfort

The house offers around 250 m² of living space with seven rooms, including five bedrooms, on three floors. The carefully designed interior spaces combine the character of the historic farmhouse with modern living comfort.

Wood, old beams, a large tile stove, and two fireplaces create a warm and cozy atmosphere. The bright winter garden opens up the view to the garden and the surrounding landscape. A sauna provides additional space for relaxation.

A newly installed air-water heat pump ensures modern and comfortable heat supply. It can be controlled remotely, which is particularly practical when the house is used as a holiday or secondary residence.

Independent and close to nature living

A private spring supplies the property with fresh water. Additionally, a new wood stove and the tile stove enable cooking and heating without electricity. A large stock of firewood is already available.

The combination of private water supply, wood firing, and modern heat pump offers a degree of independence that has become rare today. You don't have to sacrifice comfort and coziness.

A house for all seasons

In summer, you live in the garden, enjoy the fresh air and the garden pond, listen to the wind in the trees and the birds, and experience long evenings in complete peace. In autumn, the forests around the house glow in warm colors. In winter, the property becomes a quiet retreat in the snow.

Sunrises, sunsets, changing cloud moods, and the view into the distance make this place appear different every day. The daily routine takes a back seat here. It's a house for people who need space, appreciate peace, and want to escape the city without sacrificing comfort and good accessibility.

Space for further ideas

The adjacent barn offers additional potential and a generous room volume.

A small fondue house complements the property and provides a charming setting for sociable winter evenings.

This property is not an ordinary single-family home. It's a rare living space: secluded yet well-connected, original and comfortable, quiet without being lonely.

We would be happy to show you this special property during a detailed personal viewing.
