Ferienhaus Smart Wood House in Salzburg (Bundesland), Lungau, Tamsweg / AT – Austria

Holiday home Smart Wood House

The Smart Wood House in Salz­burg’s Lungau Region is cha­rac­te­rized by a com­bi­nation of straight-lined archi­tecture, inno­vative building tech­nology and natural, regional mate­rials. The low-energy house which nestles into the slope is clad from head to toe in Lungau mountain larch: the roof is covered with wooden shingles while the outer walls were con­s­tructed of sawn-up timber boards. Straw has been used to insulate the house and stones excavated during the con­s­truction process were rein­cor­po­rated as a natural stone wall. Even inside you will find nature ever­y­where: the scent of wood fills the air, as the rooms are decked out entirely in larch wood. Large pan­o­ramic windows open the house out to the sunny valley and offer spec­ta­cular views of the mountain scenery.

The 160 sqm living space is spread over four floors: the ent­rance level fea­tures a wellness area with a sauna and studio that can be used as a seminar room or bedroom. On the first floor you will find the living, dining and cooking area with a fire­place at its centre that even offers cooking func­tions. The second floor is the sleeping level, com­plete with three bed­rooms. And on the top level beneath the roof you will find a play and chill area.

What to do

The Smart Wood House is located in the authentic and vibrant village of Tamswegs on an expansive property that features a 400-year-old granary – which can be used as a barbecue hut in the summer – its own natural climbing wall, a herb garden and a wildflower meadow. The village centre is within a few minutes walk. The village is an ideal starting point for nature experiences and sports activities such as ski touring, alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, winter hiking, mountaineering, mountain biking, rafting, alpine hiking, horseback riding, golf and climbing.

Why we like this house

Modern timber architecture and a healthy atmosphere. Nature takes centre stage thanks to the generous use of natural materials, the consistently simple design and well-crafted connection between inside and out.

This house is great for

Families, friends

Wir waren als 2 Familien mit jeweils 2 Kindern für eine Woche in diesem Wun­der­schönen Haus. Wandern, Schwimmen, Tennis, Essen gehen, Sauna, im Bade­teich abkühlen oder einfach nur den Son­nen­un­tergang direkt vom Wohn­zimmer aus genießen. Haus, Garten und Besitzer sind perfekt :). Vielen Dank für diese wun­der­schöne Woche!

Wir waren mit 6 Erwach­senen, einem Zwei­jäh­rigen und einem Hund für vier Tage zu Gast im Smart­wood­house und haben es sehr genossen. Die lichte, schlichte und natür­liche Archi­tektur, der Aus­blick auf die Berge, das unglaublich leckere Wasser aus dem Hahn, die Ruhe, die Sonne, die Ter­rasse, alles zusammen ergab eine sehr erholsame Atmo­sphäre. Tamsweg ist ein sehr nettes Städtchen und der “Kemmts eina” Laden hält einige kuli­na­rische Schätze bereit.
Wir werden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen,

Wir (8 Men­schen von 5 — 79 Jahren und ein Hund) haben eine erholsame Woche im Smart Wood House ver­bracht und uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Bereits beim Betreten des Hauses spürt man die besondere Atmo­sphäre des Hauses, das groß­zügig, licht­durch­flutet und durch die Ver­wendung natür­licher Mate­rialien in moderner Archi­tektur beein­druckt. Auf das Wesent­liche redu­ziert fehlt es an nichts — hinzu kommen mit Julia und Herwig aus­ge­sprochen freund­liche und kundige Gast­geber, die mit vielen Tipps und Hin­weisen weiter helfen und stets das Gefühl ver­mitteln, will­kommen zu sein. Auch der Ort Tamsweg und die Land­schaft des Lungau haben uns sehr gut gefallen, als Ski­gebiet würden wir den Fan­ningberg mit seiner aus­ge­sprochen ent­spannten Atmo­sphäre emp­fehlen.
Vielen Dank für eine schöne Vor-Oster­woche! Stephie und Michael, März 2018
