🇨🇭 Built in luxurious Gstaad style, this owner-run residence offers a rare caliber of alpine living while offering highest modern comforts.
🌲Absolute Privacy: The region's largest private estate with zero direct neighbors & a 24/7 whirlpool.
🏞️ Unmatched Views: Sitting on a sunny hill-top with unrestricted mountain vista.
📍Perfectly Located: A quiet base away from the crowds, just minutes from Interlaken, Kandersteg & the best adventures.
❤️ QUIET LUXURY & GSTAAD-STYLE GRANDEUR
You will immediately feel the difference. Unlike investment properties or "rustic" converted farmhouses with low, restrictive ceiling, this is a purpose-built Gstaad-style residence. We welcome discerning guests who appreciate uncompromised quality, strict hygiene standards, and true architectural pedigree.
✓ The "Gstaad" Standard (high ceilings and vast spaces): Built 85 years ago using the traditional Gstaad-style architecture found in the grandest chalets of the Bernese Oberland. You will experience the rare luxury of volume: generous 2.4m (8ft) ceilings and 250+ square meters of space that offer a sense of airy grandeur usually absent in historic alpine rentals.
✓ Pristine & Authentic: To preserve the natural, authentic scent of the untreated Swiss timber, we maintain a strict chemical-free, shoes-off, and zero-smoke environment. The home is kept in showroom condition.
✓ Traditional Fireplaces: Complementing the modern central heating, the living spaces feature both a classic open hearth and a traditional tiled stove for authentic alpine ambiance.
🏰 UNCOMPROMISED STANDARDS & MODERN PERFORMANCE
We believe true luxury means everything works flawlessly. Historic character is paired with state-of-the-art, high-performance technology.
✓ Chef-Grade Kitchen: Designed for actual cooking, not just looks. Spotless and meticulously maintained, featuring modern high-end appliances (induction stove, combination steamer/oven) with zero "vintage" clutter.
✓ The Region's Fastest Internet: Enterprise-grade, fiber-optic Wi-Fi with 5 access points (including outdoor coverage), flawlessly supporting remote work and heavy streaming.
✓ Private Cinema & Gaming: A dedicated entertainment hub featuring a 4k home cinema and modern gaming consoles.
✓ Smart Home Control: Effortlessly control room-by-room temperature, ambient lighting, appliances, whirlpool etc - ensuring your comfort at any time.
🌲 THE ESTATE: ABOVE THE CLOUDS & ABSOLUTE PRIVACY
Space and silence are the ultimate luxuries. This is the largest, most secluded private Airbnb estate in the wider Interlaken region.
✓ The 90% Sunshine Advantage: While Interlaken and the lower valleys are often trapped under thick winter fog, our elevated position means we sit above the clouds 90% of the time, offering flawless "bluebird" days and direct sun.
✓ Unmatched Scale & Privacy: With the closest neighbors over 100 meters away, the estate is so expansive and unobstructed that the owner often lands directly on the property.
✓ 24/7 Panoramic Whirlpool: Soak under the stars or the alpine sun in our professionally sanitized outdoor whirlpool, featuring completely unblocked, private views of the Niesen peak.
✓ Spacious Sun Terrace: A large, protected outdoor living area equipped with premium seating and a BBQ grill.
✓ Private Driveway: Secure, ample on-site parking for 8+ vehicles.
📍 THE PERFECT ALPINE BASE
Secluded, yet exceptionally connected. You are positioned to explore the absolute best of the Bernese Oberland without fighting the crowds.
✓ Immediate Access: Less than a 10-minute drive to Spiez, Lake Thun, and the A6 highway.
✓ Iconic Hubs: Only 20 minutes to the heart of Interlaken and 20 minutes to Kandersteg (gateway to Oeschinensee and Blausee).
✓ Local Provisions: Fine dining and local artisans (featuring regional meats and alpine cheeses) are within walking distance.
✓ Note: To best experience the region and access the private estate, arriving by car is highly recommended.

Why they chose this property
The property is situated amidst picturesque farmland and surrounded by natural beauty, offering unparalleled privacy and tranquility. All neighbors are located more than 100m away, and they consist of local farmers where you can buy milk, and residential chalets.
You also have friendly animal neighbors: dairy cows roam the farmland (the property is separated via a fence), smaller birds of prey circle the skies, and deer may come for a visit.
The close-by (1km) village of Aeschi offers a diverse range of culinary options, small grocery shops including local produce, a beautiful indoor swimming pool and spa, and a large number of local hiking trails. In winter there is a cross-country skiing track and a small ski lift.
