(D) Ein Paradies auf dem Lande

Dieses altes, renovierte Riegelhaus, mit allen modernen Bequemlichkeiten, steht auf einem kleinen Hügel im Sihlmatt-Tal (Hirzel), nur 20 min von Zug und 30 min von Zürich entfernt. Das Haus ist umgeben von den schönsten ländlichen Aussichten: grünen Hügel, grossen Weiden und Wäldern. Die Sihl fliesst ca 250 m entfernt; in der Nähe gibt es viele Feuerstellen und Schwimmplätze und atemberaubende Wander- und Bikingwege. Im Nachbarhof gibt es eine ?Bäsebeiz?-Wirtschaft. Die Nachbarn sind alle freundlich und hilfsberei; wenn man die echte Schweiz kennenlernen will, findet man keine bessere Adresse!

Eine grosse Terrasse mit einem Biotop und Garten gehören ebenfalls zu diesem tollen Objekt. Die schönen Aussichten kann man auch im grossen Wintergarten vor dem Kamin geniessen. In der Küche gibt es noch den alten Backofen, der auch den traditionellen Kachelofen im Wohnzimmer wärmt. Der Haus ist voller Charme.
