The location

Kastanienbaum is a favoured, upmarket village in the commune of Horw in the canton of Lucerne. Canton Lucerne offers the option of lump-sum taxation. It is located on a peninsula directly on Lake Lucerne. The estate is set on a headland surrounded by water and nestled in more than 10,000m2 of green parkland. With its unrestricted sweeping views and plenty of sunlight, this property is the very best residential location in the whole of Central Switzerland.

The main points

The estate offers ample living space, separate apartments, two summer pavilions, a boat and bath house as well as its own covered bowling alley by the lake. The park has a wonderful collection of mature trees, flowering plants, water features and various pathways leading to a variety of garden seating areas. Several bathing places and jetties provide direct access to the lake that shimmers as turquoise as the water of the Caribbean here in good weather. After undergoing an extensive renovation, Kastanienhof will be the residential pearl par excellence.
