For sale in Elsau, Canton of Zurich CHF 1360000.

Some homes are defined by square metres. Others by the feeling you get the moment you arrive.

Dating back to 1720, this characterful home offers something increasingly difficult to find around Zurich and Winterthur: the atmosphere of an old house, a remarkable mature garden and peaceful village surroundings while remaining very well connected to the city.

The property offers approximately 178 m² of living space over two levels, with 5 rooms, a generous kitchen, beautiful traditional details and a versatile studio/multipurpose space.

But the true heart of the property may well be its 710 m² plot.

Over many years, the garden has developed into a wonderfully established and private green world of its own, with old fruit trees, roses, mature planting, secluded sitting areas and a vine-covered outdoor space. Rather than a newly landscaped garden, this is a place that has grown and evolved over time with different corners to sit, read, entertain or simply enjoy the seasons.

Inside, the house retains much of the character that makes historic homes so appealing: exposed timber elements, traditional architecture and a tiled stove, combined with generous, welcoming living spaces.

And despite this distinctly rural atmosphere, the connection to the surrounding cities is excellent:

Winterthur approx. 10 min
Zürich Stadelhofen approx. 29 min
Zürich HB approx. 33 min
Direct S12 from Räterschen

This is not a standard new-build property and it is not meant to be. It is a home for someone looking for authenticity, nature, space and personality, within easy reach of Winterthur and Zurich.

Asking price: CHF 1360000.
