Waldviertel nature retreat: spacious, superbly appointed family home near Burg Krumau

Krumau am Kamp is a true gem, its townscape majestically overlooked by the impressive historic Burg Krumau castle. Just a few minutes away lies the idyllic Kampsee Thurnberg lake, ideal for swimming on hot summer days, paddleboarding, boating, or simply unwinding with a spot of fishing. The region also offers wonderful cycle routes and countless walking trails through unspoilt countryside. A perfect blend of absolute peace and quiet and excellent leisure opportunities!

The House: Immaculately Maintained and Energy-Efficient for the Future

Built around 1983, the house has been continually modernised and is presented in excellent condition. Its energy credentials are compelling: the generous roof insulation (approx. 30–40 cm) was renewed around 10 years ago, and the fire wall was rebuilt this year. The house has timber windows, which have been regularly painted and well looked after; some of the glazing units are currently being replaced (a joiner has already been commissioned). The property is heated in a sustainable, future-proof way by an efficient pellet boiler (with a generous 16-tonne store and a 1,000-litre buffer tank), supported by an air-source heat pump for hot water in summer. Underfloor heating creates a wonderfully comfortable indoor climate, while the charming tiled stove in the living room provides cosy warmth on cold days.

Surprisingly Spacious, with Plenty of Potential

The living accommodation comprises a large living room (currently divided into two areas by an easily removable stud partition), a cosy bedroom with a small walk-in wardrobe, a bright fitted kitchen (2012), and a bathroom and separate WC, both tastefully refurbished in 2018. On the lower level, a versatile utility room (with water supply and drainage, previously used as a dog-grooming salon) offers space for your hobbies or a home office.

Your Private Grounds

The property comprises two plots (plot no. 41/1, which includes the adjoining slope, and plot no. 41/2) with an impressive total area of 988 m². In addition to the 298 m² garden directly beside the house, there is a delightful orchard with ornamental shrubs and two old apple trees. The outdoor offering is completed by a large south-facing terrace, whose hail-resistant roof was completely renewed only in June 2026. You will also find a spacious storeroom (a former double garage with room for two cars, though without a fire door) and a characterful outbuilding combining a shed with a hayloft and a built-in earth cellar (perfect as a wine cellar!). A fantastic bonus for keen gardeners is the property's own well, which can be brought back into use.

A further advantage: the existing furniture can be taken over, with terms open to negotiation.

A home that leaves nothing to be desired – simply move in, unpack and enjoy life in the countryside!
