Exceptional Appenzell chalet with unique views and privacy

Living in harmony with the landscape and architecture
The detached Appenzell house with double garage and carport on an exclusive hillside location above Gais presents itself as an exceptional residential property for a discerning, quality-conscious buyer. Nestled in the largely untouched natural landscape and at the end of a private access road, the Minergie-certified single-family house combines a high degree of peace and privacy with a high-quality interior design. The property is idyllically nestled between woodland and agricultural land. It offers a rare combination of seclusion, architectural authenticity and breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Appenzell hills and the Alpstein mountains. The

chalet was comprehensively renovated and modernized in 2009 with great attention to detail. Particular emphasis was placed on preserving the traditional Appenzell building style and combining it with modern comfort and high-quality technology. The result is a house that fits harmoniously into its geographical and cultural environment while meeting the highest standards of modern, luxurious living. Generosity, light and peace
You enter the house on the ground floor. The living and sleeping areas extend over a living space of around 225 m² and two floors, complemented by various ancillary rooms and utility areas. The interior design is characterized by warm wood tones. Vulcanized larch wood floors have been laid throughout the living space: in the living area they are presented as solid wood flooring, in the entrance area and kitchen as extremely durable head wood parquet. The interior and exterior spaces are in a harmonious dialogue, with the color scheme of the interior subtly reflecting the earthy and green tones of the landscape.

A cozy entrance area with an adjacent cloakroom provides space for welcoming your guests. The heart of the house is a spacious, open-plan living and dining area. Panoramic windows offer an impressive view of the Appenzell region and the mountains, and on cooler days of the year, a rotatable Rutz design stove (in addition to the floor heating) creates a warm and cosy atmosphere. The direct access to the covered terrace with storage room extends the living space outwards. The
