5 room Chalet in Luchsingen

A large saddle roof with a lot of overhang, a weathered wooden facade, a postcard motif: this is what a chalet should look like. More than three hundred years since construction began and the interior rooms have just been renovated, so the house is old and yet modern. An ancient farmhouse, a whole world, surrounded by high mountains. For a consciously slowed-down life, far from any hustle and bustle.

Luchsingen is a small, quiet settlement in the southern Glarnerland. A versatile region, it combines fertile valley floors, impressive mountain landscapes, and numerous recreational opportunities. The climate is characterized by cold winters and pleasantly warm summers, making the area attractive for both winter sports and summer activities.

Near the Urnerboden, the largest alp in Switzerland, on the way to the wild Klausenpass. Also easily accessible, Braunwald, a family-friendly, car-free hiking area. Next to the legendary Oberblegisee, in the east the Freiberg Kärpf, the oldest wildlife sanctuary in Europe. In the main town of Glarus, you can enjoy urban flair, and in the south, surrounded by three-thousanders, the Tödi reigns supreme: this is where you want to live, where others want to take their vacations.

The village offers a variety of housing options - renovated, older houses and tasteful new buildings. The high quality of life, combined with relatively low living costs and a natural environment, makes this place an attractive residential area. Commuters benefit from good public transportation connections and the relative proximity to important economic centers.

The offered property corresponds to the ideal image of a chalet: a flat saddle roof with a wide overhang, the walls as a deep brown stick construction, color-contrasting window frames and shutters - a postcard motif. The structure of these typical farmhouses has remained unchanged since ancient times: the masonry foundation made of natural stone serves as a foundation wall and moisture protection for the wooden construction. The building consists of "knitted" beam wood, made from local fir or pine. The building is divided into two halves under the roof ridge. The western part is for sale.

Through the covered staircase, you enter the high ground floor, into a spacious vestibule. In this part of the building, the bathroom is also integrated, with a bathtub, sink, and toilet. Through the front door, you enter the cozy, fully equipped kitchen, a Swedish stove creates atmosphere. The stately living room is oriented southwest, in winter the wood crackles in the tile stove and provides coziness.

On the first upper floor, there is a large and a small room. And, along the entire annex, an attic with plenty of storage space, it can be used as a studio or workshop or becomes the coolest playroom. To the north, the exit to the balcony, with a great panorama.

One floor further up, in the attic, there are two more rooms with built-in closets and an attic, for even more space. The ground floor has a cellar, one compartment is equipped with a natural floor, moisture is regulated in a natural way. The rooms are entered and exited through a side entrance or a staircase leading up to the kitchen. The house also includes a charming, strongly sun-drenched garden seat, another plot of land that could be used ideally as a planting garden, a large parking lot, and a rented garage.

Fascinating about this property is that it is old, "great since 1703" you could smile. More than three centuries of care, maintenance, and constant renovations show what is possible - the interior rooms were completely renovated in 2024. A steamer in the kitchen, a Home Assistant building automation, fiber optic connection, additional infrared heating, electric underfloor heating, and a heat pump boiler: this is old and yet modern.

This building is in very good condition and can be occupied immediately. It is a charming home for singles, couples, and families and forms the basis for a slowed-down life in the countryside, in an exceptional region, just a short hour from the big city. The property can also become a vacation home, as a cozy starting point for many sports activities, in a special area with a high quality of life and leisure value.

We look forward to your contact and will provide you with the sales documents in a non-binding manner.
