Could this be ‘the one’?

The first visit

The first time we saw the house was when we visited the area in autumn of 2012.  We weren’t sure if our plans would work … we would have to go away and do our calculations and come back and see what we could do …

We’d been really disappointed a few months earlier when another house in the area was sold, before we could sell our house in the UK.  It seemed like everything else was falling into place – but it wasn’t to be.

So we continued the search and specifically focussed this time on the village of Obertraun on Lake Hallstatt.  Beforehand we had a wider search area but for us, nothing seemed to compare to the peace and quiet, the local attractions of Hallstatt, the lake, the Krippenstein mountains – and opportunities to walk, hike, cycle and ski – all on the doorstep!
