Property Salzkammergut, FAQ
Where exactly is the Salzkammergut and in which regions can I buy property?
The Salzkammergut is the lake and mountain region east of the city of Salzburg. It stretches across three federal states: Upper Austria (Attersee, Mondsee, Bad Ischl, Gmunden), Salzburg (Fuschlsee, Wolfgangsee with St. Gilgen) and Styria (Ausseerland, Bad Aussee, Grundlsee). For buyers this means the region is contiguous, yet the rules on zoning and second homes differ by state and municipality. We know the settings around Mondsee, Fuschlsee and Wolfgangsee particularly well and accompany you across the state borders.
What does a lakeside property or a home with a lake view cost in the Salzkammergut?
Prices range from an apartment in the village centre to a villa right on the water and cover a wide span. The biggest premium comes from genuine lakefront land and an unobstructed lake view, followed by proximity to the city of Salzburg. Properties on the Wolfgangsee, Fuschlsee and Mondsee are among the most sought-after and correspondingly rarely come to market. A reliable figure comes only from an individual valuation of your specific property, free of charge and without obligation.
May I use a property in the Salzkammergut as a second home or let it out?
That depends on the zoning of the individual municipality and is handled strictly in the Salzkammergut. Some municipalities cap the share of second homes, others deliberately permit tourist letting. Because the region spans three federal states, differing state laws can apply. We check the zoning for every property and tell you clearly, before you buy, whether a primary residence, a second home or tourist letting is permitted.
Are there new-build projects in the Salzkammergut, for example near the Mondsee?
Yes. Alongside existing villas and apartments we accompany selected new-build projects in the region, among them one on the Mondseeberg with a wide view over the lake. Such projects combine contemporary architecture and a high quality of finish with verified zoning, so it is clear from the outset how the property may be used. Talk to us and we will show you what is currently available and what is still in planning.
Does Ferstl also look after international buyers from Germany, the Netherlands and abroad?
Yes. We advise in German, English and Dutch and regularly look after buyers from Germany, the Netherlands and elsewhere abroad who are seeking a lakeside property or a second home in the Salzkammergut. The region lies only around 30 to 60 minutes from the city of Salzburg and its airport, and Munich is also easily reached. We handle the zoning, the process and the coordination with notary and authorities.
