Luxury living in superb lake and mountain location, perfect in summer or winter

About Haus Claxton

We fell in love with Austria during several visits over the years, and when the opportunity came up to own a home in this beautiful part of the world we leapt at it. We spend several weeks a year there and have totally fallen in love with the country and its customs and people. We can never decide which time of the year is our favourite - is it winter when the snow transforms the scenery into a winter wonderland and we can ski and take part in other winter activities? Or the spring/summer/autumn time when the weather is lovely and the mountains and lakes offer so much to see and do? We love many outdoor activities and walking, cycling, kayaking and golf are just a few of the things we like to do in the beautiful surroundings of southern Austria. Whatever time of year you choose to visit, we hope that you love it as much as we do!
