Hot property: five homes for sale with Christmas spirit
Kössen, Austria, €2.65mn
Where In Kössen, a pretty village in the Kitzbühel district of Tyrol and a five-minute drive from the German border. The nearest international airports are in Salzburg (67km, about an hour’s drive) and Innsbruck (107km, 1 hour 30 minutes’ drive).
What A 290 sq m traditional farmhouse with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Built in the mid-18th century, the house has been renovated using materials such as regional reclaimed wood and travertine stone.
Why The property’s layout and location lend themselves to festive getaways and gatherings. There’s a fireplace in the living room, an open-plan dining space, wood-burning stoves in the kitchens and a cosy TV room. There’s also a wine cellar with a small bar. When cabin fever sets in, nearby Hochkössen has ample facilities for skiing, paragliding and winter hiking.
