We are looking for 2 weeks in August, near the sea. And a long WE in may. Amodern and very comfortable house, in Alsace, on the wine trail, in the heart of the most beautiful traditional villages ! Beautiful landscapes and french gastronomy !
Big new house in the same village, in a quiet lot, with a new garden, in a typical village of the wine trail, nearby immediate of the mountain, vineyards and Colmar.
Take advantage of our exceptional location, at the heart of the region where are the most beautiful cities and villages of Alsace : Eguisheim (3 km), Colmar (8 km), Kaysersberg (20 mn), Riquewihr (20 mn), Ribeauvillé (25 mn), Strasbourg (70 km and 30 mn by train), Basel in Switzerland (35 mn by train or 50 km by car), etc.
We propose you our new passive house of 165 m2, built in August 2024, very bright, in a quiet lot, with a garden of 5 hundred square meters, 4 bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, a fireplace and all the comfort. We could leave a small car, if necessary. The house is located in a beautiful Alsatian village, in 8 km in the South of Colmar and at the foot of Vosges.
The village is typical : houses with timber framings, colored, presence of storks, medieval tower, etc. It includes small shops (bakery, hairdresser, restaurants, garage owner, etc) and 400 hectares of vineyard on its territory because it includes the foothills of Vosges.

Alsace is quite hot in summer but our passive house is cool because very well insulated and built in 2024 to take into account climate change.
You can besides take advantage of it to discover a region with numerous tourist attractions. This region, besides kept a culture and an authenticity for part. Indeed, not Alsatians of origin, we can assert all the more without false modesty that Alsace is a magnificent region in term of landscapes, rich in gastronomy, with an impressive architectural heritage, a culture and an authenticity strong. It deserves unquestionably to be discovered on the occasion of holidays.
