»Kaiserkammer«

Historic farmhouse
5618/AG (CH)

In the »Kaiserkammer« you truly feel like an emperor

The special charm of the Mittelland lies in the historical treasures that always lie unexpectedly around the bend in the road - as in Bettwil, a small village in the picturesque Seetal, nestled on the gently rising sunny slope of the Lindenberg (878 m above sea level) near Lake Hallwilersee.

Here is the »Kaiserkammer«, a farmhouse built in 1710 with a magnificent wooden façade, lovingly renovated with natural, sustainable materials. The many rooms are full of fascinating details. A rustic natural stone and wine cellar, as well as a large garden, invite you to socialise.

On a clear day you can enjoy breathtaking views of the Alps from the highest village in Canton Aargau. There is a village shop open 24 hours a day, a popular restaurant, a kindergarten and a primary school - all within easy walking distance. Its central location in the Mittelland means that Zurich, Zug and Lucerne are all within easy reach.

Idyllic vineyards, tranquil forest ponds and one of Switzerland's most important moated castles, Hallwyl Castle, invite you to discover this region rich in nature. On the eastern shore of Lake Hallwil, three lakeside resorts invite visitors to take a dip in the cool waters.

The »Kaiserkammer« is a typical Mittelland farmhouse with a brick base and a timber-framed house on top, with "glue roofs" to protect the windows from rain and snow.  The property is perfect for combining living and working and is currently run as an award-winning guesthouse with adjoining retail space. However, it could just as easily be converted into a spacious family home.

From the friendly entrance you enter the spacious kitchen with open fireplace and pantry. In the light-filled dining room with tiled stove, there is plenty of room for a long table where family and friends can gather for a feast, which can be continued on the adjacent terrace.

The great hall in the west wing extends over three levels. While the ground floor is more about media enjoyment and communication, the second floor is a cosy lounge. At the top, under the open roof construction, there is plenty of space for a studio, library and art objects.

The entrance leads to the upper floors of the main house, where there are three comfortable children's bedrooms, guest rooms or sitting rooms with en-suite bathrooms, each with its own character. One of the bedrooms is particularly sumptuous, with fine parquet flooring, a freestanding bath and two cosy alcoves.

Finally, the top floor opens up to an opulent master bedroom with open-plan bathroom where you can feel like an emperor - with spectacular views over the village and countryside.  The »Kaiserkammer« fulfils the dream of living comfortably and close to nature in one of the most beautiful landscapes in the Midlands.
