About the owner
I live and work in Lincolnshire with my son with the added benefit of 4 lovely daughters visiting regularly. As a military officer I am kept constantly entertained with various tasks but still find time to spend with my children exploring new areas of the UK and Europe. In such a profession I have enjoyed the benefits of travel and long may it continue. Children's education is high on my agenda but I also find their thirst for something new and exciting stimulating. I consider myself extremely fortunate to be in such a position and I hope I engender the same spirit in my family.
Year purchased: 2006
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
I was interested in buying a property in Europe to further my quest for travel when the opportunity to buy a luxury new build apartment in such a glorious location and at a reasonable price was too enticing to miss. The contrast of the flat lands of Lincolnshire with the spectacular mountains of Austria always takes my breath away. Tucked down a dead-end valley in a Nature Reserve, the old gold mining village of Rauris is well known and loved by many Europeans. It is an area of outstanding beauty and the locals are fully aware of how fortunate they are. Their enthusiasm is reflected in their friendly and welcoming nature and the pace of life ranges from strenuous skiing/mountain biking/hill walking to just relaxing in the warm meadows enjoying the scenery. A truly wonderful place.
Unique benefits of the property
The apartment has all the modern conveniences you would expect with views that are astounding at all times of the year. Skiing was introduced to Austria by gold miners from Rauris, yet with such a tradition the area has not been over developed and remains a family friendly ski resort. The apartment is only a short walk of 150m to the main gondola. In Summer the Nature Park presents many opportunities for various activities, you can be as energetic or as relaxed as you wish. There are many famous sights to see within short distances: the largest ice cave in the world; the highest manned weather station in the world; the Gross Glockner pass (highest Alpine pass) and one of the deepest and longest gorges in Europe. All this and a Wellness Centre too to aid in relaxing after a full days fun.
