Schellenberg
About This Home
Baufritz has been building timber homes in Bavaria since 1896, and the Schellenberg is designed around alpine and mountain settings. Traditional alpine design elements are combined with modern functionality throughout, and the construction is built to the durability and weather-resistance requirements of elevated locations. Large-format windows are placed specifically to capture panoramic views rather than as a generic glazing strategy.
Baufritz's ecological timber frame and signature wood shaving insulation provide the energy efficiency required for mountain climates, and the home integrates modern technology and sustainable systems alongside the high-quality craftsmanship the brand is known for. The design connects the interior naturally with the surrounding landscape.
At just over 90 m² with four bedrooms, the Schellenberg is an efficient floor plan for its bedroom count. It works well as a primary residence in an alpine setting or as a well-specified second home.
What We Love
The Schellenberg's window placement is specifically calibrated for panoramic mountain views rather than standard glazing logic. Combined with Baufritz's wood shaving insulation, it is one of the more practically considered alpine homes in the range.
