How beautiful it is to live south of Graz

Southern Styria comprises three districts. Deutschlandsberg and Leibnitz make up south-western Styria, while the third district to the east of the Mur is south-eastern Styria. The weather in the south of Styria is mild all year round and warm in summer due to the influence of the Mediterranean. This is why the vines thrive so well here, as evidenced by the excellent reputation of South Styrian wines beyond the region's borders.

Attractive properties are available throughout Southern Styria, with most locations being less than an hour’s drive from Graz. Accessing this beautiful region is easy via the Pyhrnautobahn A9 or Grazer Straße B67, which quickly connect Graz to Southern Styria. In addition, the Austrian Southern Railway and S-Bahn line S5 link Graz to Spielfeld, a charming wine village near the Slovenian border, with all towns along the way easily reachable.

Some of the most popular vacation and residential destinations in Southern Styria include:

  • Ehrenhausen an der Weinstraße - with its mausoleum, castle and pilgrimage church.

  • Gamlitz - largest wine-growing community and vacation resort with Gamlitz Castle.

  • Großklein - municipality in the Saggau Valley with well-developed infrastructure and shopping facilities.

  • Kitzeck im Sausal - Europe's highest wine village in a charming landscape.

  • Leibnitz - lively district capital with a focus on wine, culture, education and shopping.

  • Leutschach an der Weinstraße - hops and vineyards on the border with Slovenia with Mediterranean flora.

  • Seggauberg - excursion destination with Seggau Castle, Roman stone collection and the largest wine cellar in Styria.

  • Spielfeld - wine village on the Slovenian border with many poplars and Styrian Klapotez.

Fantastic properties in southern Styria on the wine route

The South Styrian Wine Road is a stunning region where lush green meadows, blossoming fruit trees, and sunny vineyards paint the landscape. It’s no wonder this hilly area has earned the affectionate nickname of Southern Styria's Tuscany. As you journey through this picturesque area by bike or car, you’ll quickly understand why the natural beauty here is so captivating. Many of the properties in this region are just as breathtaking, offering scenic views and a tranquil lifestyle.
Picture yourself living in a romantic country house perched on a hill, enjoying panoramic vistas of the rolling vineyards and meadows below. Or perhaps you dream of owning an active or former winery, where you can wander through your own vineyards, surrounded by the beauty of the land. Alternatively, you may want to build your own home on a spacious plot and design a property tailored to your unique vision.

With our expertise as your real estate agent, we can help you find the perfect property in Southern Styria. Whether you're looking for a family home with generous living space, a garden, and a terrace, or a more compact leisure property, we have options to suit every need.

With one- or two-bedroom apartments featuring balconies, these properties offer both comfort and character.
