Want your own private lake in Austria?

Category: Accommodation, Austria, Europe, Real Estate, Western Europe — Paul Johnson @ 10:50 pm

One of the last privately-owned lakes in Austria is up for sale. Occupying a secluded location in the Salzkammergut region near Salzburg, the Mondsee or Moon Lake is being sold by Nicolette Waechter; it has been in her family since the early 18th Century but now she no longer wants to be responsible for its management.  Expect a price of around 16,000 euros.

    1. Nicolette Waechter’s Mondsee (or Moon Lake) sounds like it’s a very nice place & what a wonderful historical treasure for anyone who had the opportunity purchase it.

      I have a close friend who lives in Austria & I’m quite fond of the people I’ve met from there. This place has a winning combination, of location, culture, history, the beauty of the great outdoors, unspoiled land and good people! I would feel blessed to be able to own such a place. I hope who ever bought it will be a good steward over Mondsee.
