LOCATION

This exclusive country estate is a property steeped in history. It harmoniously combines tradition, culture, and refined luxury in an exceptional setting—nestled within the captivating alpine landscape of the Lechtal valley, just a few minutes’ drive from the prestigious Arlberg ski region, including Warth, Lech, Zürs, and St. Anton.

As early as the Middle Ages, Benedictine monks recognized the unique qualities of this location, utilizing it for their monastery and as a mill. The estate’s name, “Lichtplatz nach der Mühle” (“place of light by the mill”), originates from this period. In later centuries, aristocratic owners established the present-day expansive country residence here, designed to the highest standards as a private retreat. The Lechtal valley is also renowned for its extensive hunting grounds, highly regarded by international hunting parties.

LAYOUT AND FEATURES

“Where the mountain stream murmurs” aptly describes this remarkable ensemble, comprising approximately 7,978 m² of landscaped gardens, an impressive main residence, and extensive outdoor amenities. Water has always been integral to the estate: the property is traversed and framed by the historic mill stream, the Doserbach, as well as four additional alpine streams. Idyllic resting areas, a natural swimming pond with a generous sun terrace, a trout pond, and pristine mountain forests create a truly exceptional setting.

Numerous natural springs—officially certified as potable drinking water (!)—further enhance the estate’s outstanding ecological credentials.

The main residence, with its grand scale and rustic architectural character, evokes the presence of a stately hunting lodge, complete with features such as an iron entrance gate with a tree-lined driveway, a tower, several stream bridges, traditional shutters, and an array of hunting trophies. The interiors are equally elegant and inviting—at times opulent—crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Classic rustic antiques, bespoke woodwork, and fine country-style textiles reflect the heritage and authenticity of the property, contributing to its distinctive charm.

In total, the estate offers approximately 1,000 m² of living and usable space across 20 rooms. Heating is sustainably provided via a water-source heat pump.

A highly sought-after secondary residence designation applies to part of the property.

The ground floor features a lobby, three distinct living and dining lounges each with adjoining terraces, a traditional fireplace room, a professionally equipped kitchen, a house bar, and a wine cellar.

An adjoining multi-storey wellness tower houses a spa area with sauna, steam bath, shower, and relaxation room.

The upper and attic floors accommodate two spacious master suites—each with a living area and open fireplace—along with three junior suites and five additional guest rooms, all with en-suite bathrooms.

In front of the main entrance gate, the historic mill and former carriage house have been transformed into a unique, multifunctional event and conference venue, featuring a water-powered mill wheel, a private cinema, and a dance floor. Additional spaces are available for use as a kitchen, studio, or for other individual purposes. Two garage parking spaces are also provided.

In summary, this is an exceptional property—a true jewel of the Alps—set within magnificent natural surroundings, offering an exclusive retreat for extended families, guests, and staff.
