The trend for a home of your own in the mountains

Surely each of us has more than once dreamed of our own four walls in a quiet area with a beautiful view of the mountain peaks. On the property market we will find many listings of houses in the mountains that meet such criteria, and we would like to show you a few of those in our portfolio.

What makes mountain areas some of the most desirable places among estate agency clients? Certainly the wish to rest away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, the characteristic landscape and the chance to spend time actively. On top of that, the local climate has an exceptionally positive effect on health – clean air considerably improves the functioning of the respiratory and circulatory systems. It should therefore come as no surprise that more and more people do not treat buying a house in the mountains as an investment or a holiday cottage, but increasingly buy with the intention of spending the rest of their lives there.

What affects the price of a property in the mountains?

The price of a house is affected by many factors, not only those related to the building itself, such as the condition of the house, the material it is made of or additional fittings. Well-developed tourist and service infrastructure and proximity to hiking trails and ski slopes add to a property's locational appeal, but at the same time result in a higher price.

Noteworthy listings

Among the interesting listings, it is worth mentioning a complex of houses on a gated estate in Jaworze near Bielsko-Biała, with a beautiful view of the Beskid range, at attractive prices. For example, a house with a living area of 225 m2 finished to an enhanced developer's standard (podwyższony stan deweloperski) costs 949 thousand PLN. Other places often chosen by buyers are spa towns such as Krynica-Zdrój. It is worth mentioning here the listing of a detached house at the closed shell stage (stan surowy zamknięty) with an area of 271 sq m, comprising 5 rooms and 3 bathrooms, located almost at the top of a hill at an attractive price of 699 thousand PLN. For those who want to combine proximity to the mountains with the buzz of the city, we have a wonderfully located house with a swimming pool in a prestigious district of Bielsko-Biała, surrounded by a picturesque mountain landscape that creates an unusual charm and peace, priced at 990 thousand PLN for 296 m2 of usable area.

Above we have shown houses in the mountains in 3 different locations, all available in our portfolio. Interest in the location of this type of property depends above all on the buyer's expectations, which can be divided into the 3 most important types:

– well-known tourist and spa resorts such as Zakopane, Wisła, Szczyrk, Żywiec or Ustroń
– larger towns near the mountains such as Nowy Sącz, Bielsko-Biała or Nowy Targ
– small villages near the main tourist centres such as Poronin or Gliczarów near Zakopane, Istebna near Wisła, or Węgierska Górka near Żywiec
