Description
Perched high in the serene hills of Schönried, surrounded by nature, this rare opportunity offers the potential to create a truly unique building project. This property is perfect for those looking to fulfill their dream of a tranquil retreat and an Exclusive Holiday Chalet.
The existing structure is currently uninhabitable but serves as an excellent starting point for a new construction project. In collaboration with a local architectural firm, a preliminary project has been developed that optimally combines the maximum possible volume with the existing living space.
Highlights of the Preliminary Project
•Maximum Volume: Based on the existing residential space, the project optimizes the largest possible secondary residential area. Details of the design can be found in the attached plans.
•Holiday Chalet Concept: Generously planned storage areas behind the living room, adjacent to the kitchen, and spacious wardrobes in the attic are specifically tailored for use as a holiday chalet.
•Flexible Use: The design allows for the property to be divided into two separate residential units. A future conversion into a single-family home would be easily achievable.
•Regulatory Framework and Building Requirements
The project adheres to regulations regarding distances from power lines and the designated forest boundary:
•Forest distance for retaining walls and similar structures: 3.00 m
•Forest distance for exterior walls of the building: 5.00 m
Based on an initial inquiry, these requirements indicate that the most feasible plan involves rebuilding on the existing building site.
•Expansion Potential
A shift and enlargement of the new structure toward the west would be ideal. However, this would require reducing the forest boundary distance, which, based on current information, is not ruled out.
Despite some restrictions, this exception provides an attractive opportunity for above-ground construction. While the maximum utilization of the parcel’s building zone cannot be fully achieved above ground, the project still offers ample scope to create a high-quality residential building with a thoughtfully designed and exclusive layout.

Apart from its sunny location, Schönried is also a dream destination for sports enthusiasts.
With 105 kilometres of slopes, the local mountain is the largest ski area in the region and offers plenty of space for skiers and snowboarders to enjoy the snow in winter.
However, a visit up the mountain is also worthwhile in summer: the slopes turn into beautiful paths for high-altitude and mountain ridge hikes. The Horneggli also offers a large variety of entertainment: the Alp Festival, the Hornfluh climbing park and the ski safari offer plenty of fun to pass your time.
The 18 hole golf course (par 70) is just a 10-minute drive away and is situated at 1400 meters altitude and surrounded by a nature reserve of national acclaim. The wonderful 18 holes are charmingly located within the picturesque landscape and it’s comfortable climate. Enjoy the stunning views over the Bernese Alps free from traffic or noise.
In winter, you can polish the nature ice rink during a game of curling. After that, burn off any excess energy on the 18-km-long cross-country skiing trail between Schönried and Saanenmöser. And after all these physical activities, you deserve a treat: culinary delights are closeby.
