This rare 17th-century Engadine house is a refined blend of history, craftsmanship, and contemporary architecture, located in the heart of S-chanf and featuring one of the very few private gardens in the village center. Fully renovated in 2009, with a striking guest house added in 2010, the property spans approximately 440 sqm on a 512 sqm plot.
The main residence preserves authentic Engadine architecture with solid stone walls, deep-set windows, and noble natural materials such as Swiss pine wood. Expansive living spaces include a dramatic double-height hall, historic Stüva, traditional masonry stove, and a modern stainless-steel kitchen.
Complementing the historic house, a minimalist guest house designed by Japanese architects Makoto Takei + Chie Nabeshima (TNA) offers a flexible and inspiring space for guests, work, or creative use—creating a truly unique dialogue between tradition and modernity.
