Three-bedroom, Borgata Bach Alta, Sappada

In Sappada, set high and private above the valley floor, a top-floor apartment in the Alta Bach Condominium — just 7 units, open panoramas, plenty of light. The Borgata Bach Alta setting is part of the appeal: privacy and long views a short step from the village.

The Alpine character is the real thing, not a pastiche: timber, exposed beams, panelling, bespoke handcrafted furniture, Tyrolean decorative touches. The home spans the second floor and an internally connected attic level. The living area is broad and sociable — living-dining room, kitchen, access to the panoramic terrace, and a fireplace with a stube system and ducting to heat the rooms; the decorated stube is the visual heart of the space. The sleeping area has three bedrooms — two doubles and one with bunk beds — plus two bathrooms, one with a window and one internal.

The attic level adds roughly 20 sqm of actual ancillary space, with varying ceiling heights, usable today as extra room.

It sells fully furnished: main furniture, textiles, accessories and appliances included — a second home ready to use. Parking is generous for the mountains: a double underground garage of about 33 sqm and an appurtenant outdoor space, three spaces in all. Condominium fees are modest (administration, cleaning of common areas, snow clearing).

Energy class E, independent heating with a diesel-fired boiler. Built in 2005, 83 sqm, four rooms. Price €485,000.
