Holiday home Mühl­radhof

The typical Black Forest farm­house with its large hipped roof and ela­borate car­pentry is situated at an altitude of 1,000 metres in the Rai­tenbuch valley and is an archi­tec­tural tes­timony to the former way of life in the Upper Black Forest. Built in 1659 as a double farm­house for two Black Forest farmers and their families, the building has been reno­vated in recent years in line with the requi­re­ments of monument pro­tection and the former resi­dential part has been con­verted into a holiday home for families and groups of up to 11 people.

Layer after layer was removed to reveal the his­to­rical fea­tures. For example, the ori­ginal wooden floor, which was unco­vered under five stacked flo­or­boards and has given the low parlour an addi­tional 15 cm of room height. The wall panelling was also reinstalled or replaced after the insu­lation work. This creates an exciting con­trast between the smoke-bla­ckened old and light-coloured new wood. A mile­stone in the reno­vation was the res­to­ration of the two-storey smoke kitchen — now a spa­cious, open room and the cen­tre­piece of the house.

In addition to the prac­tical cooking island and pleasant under­floor heating, three newly designed bath­rooms have also been inte­grated. Modern ele­ments and func­tions meet his­to­rical archi­tecture and antique fur­nis­hings almost natu­rally.

You enter the house via the wooden terrace, the so-called “Bruck”. In the large parlour with its low ceiling, you can gather around the wooden table with his­toric farm­house chairs and the cosy “Chunst” (a heated bench) by the green tiled stove, just like in the old days — including har­monium, flug­elhorn and guitar. Above this is a spa­cious bedroom with a four-poster bed.

In addition to the parlour, there is also a “Stübele” with a sky-blue sofa and a romantic view of the shingled extension through the old mul­lioned windows. As well as the large “Grüne Stube”, which func­tions as a living room with a tiled stove and cosy couch. The spa­cious smoke kitchen and the three bath­rooms are also on the ground floor. In addition to the narrow bathroom with ori­ginal stone and wooden walls and the snug clay wall bathroom, there is also the terrace bathroom in the former well house, which is sur­rounded by an archaic mountain wall and small windows with a view of the land­scape.

A central wooden staircase in the hallway leads to the bed­rooms on the upper floor — from two large double bed­rooms, some with sweeping views of the valley, to the library, a single room with an angel-deco­rated bed, a round Bie­der­meier tiled stove and walls “insu­lated” with news­papers, to the so-called sleeping hideaway. The bright glass façade on the kitchen landing floods the open-plan area down to the smoke kitchen with light and opens the house up to nature.

It gets even greener and more colourful right outside the door. Whether on the ter­races and bal­conies around the house or the num­erous hiking trails and excur­sions — from wide meadows and forests to glis­tening lakes, steep gorges and rushing water­falls.
