Situated along the picturesque shores of Lake Weissensee in Carinthia, this vacation home rental in Austria is part of a former sawmill that was transformed into a chic contemporary compound. Simple and modern, the apartment is positioned to take advantage of the gorgeous lake and mountain views. Completed in 2007, the property was designed as an all season recreational retreat and is the recipient of several design awards. Most recently, Austrian architect Peter Jungmann added a striking shoreline “Badehütte Weissensee” (bath-house) at the water’s edge as a companion structure to the property that shares the space with three other apartments within the complex.
Located on second floor, the apartment dominates one side of the multi-unit structure and features an open-plan en-suite bedroom and lounge area with an extra sleeping or sunbathing area projecting out over a stream. The spaces are warm and bright and well laid out with a mixture of rustic-contemporary style and multiple views over the picturesque landscape. The gallery level living and dining area also features a balcony projecting out over the stream along with a fully equipped kitchen. The apartment can accommodate up to three guests and comes equipped with a sauna.
Head out to the terrace to dine and take in the views or down to the bath house to enjoy the lakeside areas.
