Historic property with lake view – dream home with potential in the Bernese Oberland
In one of the most beautiful locations on Lake Thun, nestled between water and mountains, this exceptional house awaits you, steeped in history and offering diverse potential. The property offers approximately 310 m² of living space and a total of nine rooms spread over several floors – ideal for families, multi-generational projects, or creative, stylish use concepts.
A place with history – architectural heritage
The main building dates back to around 1800 and is one of the protected historic country estates in the Bernese Oberland. It is a cube-shaped, five-axis solid structure with a striking Mansart hipped roof – an outstanding example of late Baroque architecture in a rural setting.
The building is structured by jointed sandstone corner pilasters and features finely crafted façade elements. The walled west-facing arbor with diagonal glazing in the skylight windows and the suggested arcades provide architectural depth and elegant symmetry.
In 1925, the property was given a south-facing terrace on cast-stone pillars and columns, transforming the central window on the ground floor into a door. The entrance was accentuated with period-typical facade decoration, including a gable roof. The small bridge over the Eygraben, which marks the entrance to the house, and the romantic garden pavilion in the western corner of the property also underscore the stately aspirations and special atmosphere of this historic property.
Generous space – versatile use
The currently used living space is spread across the ground floor, upper floor, and attic, with all rooms except the dining room and attic currently being used as bedrooms with multiple beds – as part of a successful Airbnb business model. A large kitchen, several wet rooms, and an attic offer additional potential for reorganization, conversion to a traditional residential building, or conversion into a boutique guest house, studio, or seminar venue.
Substance, condition and expansion potential
The property has been partially renovated. Some bathrooms and the kitchen have already been modernized, and the basic structure, with original details such as solid oak parquet flooring, coffered ceilings, a historic staircase, and shutters, is well preserved. Careful renovation could further enhance the historic flair.
As a K-object in the building inventory, monument preservation requirements must be taken into account – but this also offers opportunities for subsidies and tax advantages.
Note on the parking situation
The property currently has no dedicated parking spaces. However, after consultation with the municipality, a building permit can be applied for if necessary to create parking spaces directly off the street—for example, along the property line. The corresponding planning application must be submitted and approved.
Location, surroundings and infrastructure
The property is located in a quiet, sunny neighborhood with a lake view and direct access to nature. The town center is just a few minutes' walk away. A daycare center, post office, shops, restaurants, playgrounds, and the public lido are all nearby. Good public transportation connections and numerous recreational activities in the immediate vicinity (hiking trails, lake access, spa facilities, and sports facilities) make this location particularly attractive – whether for private or semi-commercial use.
The plot is located in the shore protection zone (SFG) – a sensitive zone with long-term assured quality.
