Austria’s Carinthia region offers a distinctive combination of mountains, lakes and historic towns. One of its most appealing destinations is Millstatt, situated directly on the shores of Lake Millstätter See.
For those looking for a second home in Austria, a property in this setting can offer something very different from a traditional Alpine apartment: life by the lake, a historic town centre and access to nature throughout the year.
Our current property in Millstatt combines these elements in a fully renovated historic building dating back to around 1880. The apartment offers approximately 85.30 m² of living space and is designated for use as a second home.
The apartment is located directly in the centre of Millstatt, just a few minutes' walk from the shores of Lake Millstätter See. This creates a particularly convenient combination of a central location and immediate access to the lake and surrounding landscape.
Restaurants, cafés, shops, medical services, schools, banks and public transport are all available nearby.
The town itself is known for its historic character, including the Benedictine monastery dating back to the 11th century. The combination of historic architecture, lakeside views and Alpine surroundings gives Millstatt a distinctive atmosphere.
The apartment is located in a building originally dating from 1880 that has since undergone a complete renovation.
With approximately 85 m² of living space, the property offers four rooms, including two bedrooms, a spacious living area with kitchen and dining space, one bathroom and a separate WC.
The terrace is one of the property's defining features, offering views towards Lake Millstätter See and the surrounding mountains.
The apartment also includes a private parking space and cellar. Heating is provided by central underfloor heating, while the monthly costs are stated at approximately EUR 300. The property is available immediately.
The possibility of using the apartment as a Zweitwohnsitz, or second home, is an important part of this property.
For an owner, this means having a private base in Carinthia for holidays, weekends and longer stays. The central location makes everyday life convenient, while the lake and mountains provide a wide range of opportunities for leisure and relaxation.
Rather than being located in an isolated holiday development, the apartment forms part of the established fabric of Millstatt, with local services and amenities within walking distance.
Lake Millstätter See and its surroundings offer activities in every season.
During summer, the lake provides opportunities for swimming and water sports, while the surrounding landscape is suited to hiking and cycling. In winter, the region offers ice skating, sledding, winter walks and skiing in nearby resorts.
This seasonal variety is one of the attractions of owning a property in a lakeside Alpine destination. The apartment can provide a base for different types of stays throughout the year.
Millstatt also offers convenient access to the wider region. Spittal an der Drau and Villach can be reached by car, while the property information gives the following approximate distances: Klagenfurt 80 km, Tarvisio 85 km, Ljubljana 140 km, Udine 175 km and Vienna 400 km.
The location therefore provides a practical starting point for exploring Carinthia as well as neighbouring regions in Austria, Italy and Slovenia.
A second home by a lake offers a different way of enjoying Austria. In Millstatt, the combination of water, mountains, historic surroundings and everyday amenities creates a setting that can be enjoyed beyond a single holiday season.
This fully renovated apartment adds a terrace with lake views, private parking, a cellar and approximately 85 m² of living space to the equation.
For buyers looking for a second home in Austria close to a lake, Millstatt and Lake Millstätter See are worth discovering.
