THE PONDHOUSE – “Private Living” by the Water – this extraordinary home combines tranquility, light, and panoramic views in a truly unique way.
The property is located at the end of a private access road, on the edge of the forest in Saalfelden’s Ramseiden district, and boasts a fantastic, unobstructed panoramic view of the Steinerne Meer, the Kitzsteinhorn, and the peaks of the Leogang Mountains. The spacious natural swimming pond in the garden is far more than just a design highlight: it becomes the focal point of life in and around the house and creates a very special atmosphere of well-being.
With approximately 255 square meters of living space, the house combines an open layout with cozy, private nooks. Generous windows, high-quality materials, and a clear spatial design create a light-filled, serene living environment. The entryway features a custom-built coat rack with built-in seating, providing a stylish welcome and serving as the gateway to the quiet ground floor.
On the ground floor, there is a bedroom and an adjacent walk-in closet. Next door is another room that can be flexibly used as an additional dressing area, a utility room, or custom storage space. Another bedroom on this level features its own en-suite bathroom with a shower and toilet, offering a private, comfortable retreat. The living space is complemented by an additional spacious storage room and a separate utility room.
Another section of the ground floor offers plenty of scope for personal touches. Two open-plan rooms are already set up so that a private wellness area can be created here with minimal effort. A private shower and a separate toilet are available, and a connection for a sauna is in place. The direct access to the swimming pond via an outdoor staircase is particularly appealing—perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy the interplay of warmth, water, and nature.
The upper floor is bathed in natural light and offers plenty of space. A bright entryway with floor-to-ceiling windows connects the living and sleeping areas, adding stylish accents with an illuminated stainless-steel planter and a large exterior window featuring an artfully arranged wolf sculpture made of driftwood. Exposed wooden beams throughout the upper floor give the house its alpine character and radiate a warm, natural coziness.
The large living area with a fireplace forms the heart of the house. While inside, the fireplace clad in leather tiles with an animal embossed pattern creates a modern sense of comfort, looking out through the large floor-to-ceiling windows makes you feel as if you were right in the midst of nature.
The open kitchen, featuring a cooking island with high-quality Miele appliances, a Quooker, and natural stone countertops by Strasser, offers a sophisticated blend of timeless elegance and the utmost in comfort. Practical sliding glass doors provide direct access to the approximately 50-square-meter terrace, allowing the indoor and outdoor spaces to flow together seamlessly.
Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. The master suite is a highlight in its own right: it features a freestanding bathtub and a spacious en suite bathroom with a luxurious rain shower and waterfall shower. A separate guest shower room completes this floor. All bedrooms are equipped with external blinds and fly screens. A separate guest restroom rounds out this level.
The outdoor areas blend harmoniously into the hillside setting. Natural stone steps, stone walls, and polygonally laid surfaces lead to the spacious natural swimming pond, which is approximately 20 meters long and up to 2.70 meters deep. A dock and various lounging areas make it a private retreat by the water. A pre-installed connection for a hot tub further enhances the garden’s wellness offerings.
The property is rounded out by a spacious driveway with a carport featuring an electric vehicle charging station, as well as additional outdoor parking spaces. The stone facade underscores the home’s high-quality, natural character. Technically, the property features an air-source heat pump, underfloor heating in all rooms, quadruple-glazed Internorm wood-aluminum windows with electric blinds and fly screens, as well as high-quality fixtures and fittings from Mafi, Villeroy & Boch, Voglauer, and Keuco.
Originally built in 2003 as a wooden structure on the upper floor, the chalet underwent extensive renovation and a complete thermal retrofit in 2021. THE PONDHOUSE combines alpine authenticity, modern architecture, and an exceptional quality of life—a waterfront retreat for those who appreciate tranquility, natural light, and panoramic views of the highest caliber.
