Lakeside Property with Two Private Moorings on Lake Zurich
For many, living on the shores of a lake is the ultimate dream. »PORTAZURE«, situated in Hurden on the Obersee — the eastern basin of Lake Zurich — offers precisely that rare opportunity, combining an exceptional waterfront setting with the convenience of easy access to the vibrant city of Zurich. Set on a generous lakeside plot, the property enjoys its own private jetty with two boat moorings and commands spectacular views across the tranquil waters and surrounding landscape of the Obersee.
Hurden, part of the municipality of Freienbach / Pfäffikon in the Canton of Schwyz, is one of Switzerland's most tax-efficient residential locations. The narrow strip of land between Lake Zurich and the Obersee has been inhabited since prehistoric times, as evidenced by its ancient pile dwellings. Historic inns and a charming chapel still bear witness to Hurden's importance as a stopping point for pilgrims travelling to Einsiedeln. Despite the economic vitality of the surrounding region, the village has retained its peaceful, unspoilt character.
Just a few minutes away, Pfäffikon SZ offers a lively urban atmosphere with an excellent selection of shops, acclaimed restaurants, internationally active businesses, and a wide range of public and private schools. Equally close is the picturesque lakeside town of Rapperswil, affectionately known as the 'Town of Roses', where its beautifully preserved old town, boutique shopping and Mediterranean ambience invite leisurely afternoons by the water.

The surrounding countryside offers exceptional opportunities for outdoor pursuits, both on the water and in the mountains. South of Hurden rises the distinctive summit of the Etzel at 1,096 metres above sea level, a scenic foothill of the Alps from which, on clear days, magnificent panoramic views extend to the iconic peaks of the Rigi, Wildspitz and the Grosser and Kleiner Mythen. The alpine landscapes of the Canton of Schwyz are also within easy reach, offering superb hiking, climbing and mountain biking in summer, as well as skiing, snowboarding and cross-country skiing during the winter months.
»PORTAZURE« is perfectly suited to those seeking privacy, a close connection with nature and an outstanding waterfront location. The beautifully landscaped gardens feature expansive lawns, mature specimen trees and richly planted borders, creating a series of inviting terraces overlooking the lake. A private bathing area and a jetty with two boat moorings complete this exceptional waterside setting.
The existing 4.5-room residence was built in 1972 and is composed of two offset volumes that respond elegantly to the contours of the site. The two-storey main section accommodates the entrance hall on the ground floor, while the upper floor comprises three bedrooms — ideal as principal, children's, guest or study rooms — together with two bathrooms. The second wing, positioned closer to the lakeshore, houses the spacious living room with its fireplace, an open-plan dining area and the adjoining kitchen, all designed to maximise the connection with the surrounding landscape.
»PORTAZURE« brings together the tranquillity and natural beauty of lakeside living with the convenience of nearby urban centres. Whether enjoying breakfast on the terrace as the morning sun glistens across the water or setting off directly from the private jetty for a day on the lake, every day here feels like a holiday.
