Welcome to Bergweg 8 in Höfen near Thun – an idyllic residential community at the gateway to the Bernese Oberland. Surrounded by meadows, nature, and an impressive mountain landscape, you can enjoy peace, sunshine, and relaxation in a unique setting. At the same time, you benefit from the proximity to Thun, which is just a few minutes away by car and offers all kinds of shopping facilities, schools, and a wide range of leisure activities. The beautiful view of the surrounding mountain landscape and the distinctive Stockhorn mountain give this location a special charm.
Allow me to introduce myself: a historic 9-room double-family home with two separate apartments and a lot of potential for the future. Originally, I was built as a schoolhouse in 1846 and have witnessed many stories over the decades. Today, I present myself as a charming duplex house with approximately 220 m² of living space, 265 m² of usable space, and a plot of 399 m².
My historical character, my versatile uses, and my dreamlike location make me a rare opportunity for people with vision.
Over the years, I have been continuously maintained and renovated. The most important investments include the facade renovation with additional insulation, the roof renovation including a new roof covering, the extension of the upper floor, and the installation of a modern kitchen on the ground floor. In addition, all electrical wiring has been completely renewed, the heating system has been continuously modernized, and a photovoltaic system was installed in 2017. Windows, entrance doors, and various garden and outdoor facilities have also been continuously renewed and maintained in recent years, which means that I am now in a well-maintained condition.
The first 4.5-room apartment is located on the ground floor. Access is via a charming veranda or winter garden, which creates a special atmosphere as soon as you enter. The heart of this apartment is the cozy living kitchen with a dining area and a Swedish stove. It is complemented by a separate living room with an additional Swedish stove, three bright bedrooms and a bathroom with a bathtub.
On the upper floor, you will find the second 4.5-room apartment. Here, too, you will be greeted by an inviting entrance hall in the veranda style. The apartment features a living kitchen with a dining area, a separate living room with a fireplace, three bright bedrooms, and a bathroom with a bathtub.
In the basement, you have two cellars and a spacious storage room at your disposal, offering plenty of space for hobbies, storage, or additional uses.
In the attic, you will find two additional rooms as well as a practical storage room. This extra space offers versatile usage options – whether as a bedroom, office, hobby room, or a retreat for guests.
My outdoor area invites you to linger: The large terrace and garden area offer a wonderful view of the surrounding nature and the impressive mountain landscape of the Bernese Oberland. Here you can enjoy sunny hours, relaxed evenings and a living experience with a high level of relaxation.
