IT'S A MATTER OF EXPECTATIONS, HOW AND WHERE WE SPEND OUR MOST VALUABLE TIME
How awesome would it be to have a place where there's no constant whirlwind of thoughts, and where appointments or critical decisions don't play a role? Where our actions simply follow our innermost voice, where time occasionally stands still, and where a touch of luxury subtly enhances our lives.
The niksen house in Kirchberg in the Kitzbühel Alps is exactly that. Here, a clear architectural vibe, minimalistic design, chic interior aesthetics, and a focus on sustainability come together in perfect harmony.
In this unique spot, three extraordinary hideaways are up for sale.
Recently constructed, they await individuals who appreciate our concept and infuse it with their own energy.
„Study nature, love nature,
stay close to nature.
It will never fail you.”

PHILOSOPHY
niksen – The art of doing nothing
Gently close the door, and step into a world where time stands still and the outside noise fades away. Let go of all the appointments, obligations, and daily roles. It's time to dial down the hustle and bustle, to decelerate, and indulge in what brings joy, satisfies the soul, and refreshes the heart. Welcome to the world of "Niksen," the Dutch art of doing nothing, a concept embraced by the discerning minds, as highlighted by British Vogue in 2019.
The essence here is time – alongside health, the most precious intangible wealth that cannot be multiplied. It's time to let your thoughts wander, to go with the flow, whether it's a peaceful walk in the woods, getting lost in the pages of an enriching book, exploring inspiring galleries, soaking in the warmth of the sauna, practising yoga, or enjoying the company of your favourite people. Niksen is the luxury of following your own desires, doing exactly what you crave in that very moment.
What emerges from this intentional pause is genuine abundance – a wealth concentrated on precious moments. By momentarily escaping the chaos of everyday life and letting go of the constant pressure to perform, you open the door to a new way of living. Those who master this art feel a silent satisfaction within themselves – a contentment that harmonises with health, movement, and a mindful connection with their own body.
„Luxury means having the time to let yourself be carried away by inspiration.”
– PHILIPP TSCHUNKE

YOUR OWN HIDEAWAY IN KIRCHBERG
At first glance, the Niksen House exudes what it truly is: unique. With its modern design, uncommon for the region, it harmoniously blends with the mountains and nature, creating a truly special place. It's as if the mountainside embraces the house and its residents, providing them with protection and comfort. Yet, the Niksen House is just a short, soothing hop away from Kitzbühel – with all its renowned advantages as one of the most sought-after luxury destinations worldwide, all year round.
The three available retreats are conceived as "homes away from home," meticulously and lovingly equipped by us down to the smallest detail and to the highest standards. Here, too, the Niksen principle is reflected: the luxury of not having to do anything. Everything is already here.
The Niksen House was planned and realised by our family-owned company, TH-Immobilien, under the guidance of Philipp Tschunke and Gary Naderhirn. The innovative touch comes from architect Stephan Metzner and the interior designers at Aufschnaiter Interior – the benchmark in the region – who have elegantly styled all apartments. With the Niksen House, we combine outstanding construction qualities with technical finesse and consistently translate our commitment to perfection into a sustainable concept. This contemporary approach truly enables a good life.
Live well. Welcome to the niksen house.
ARCHITECTURE
The niksen house sparks debate and, in doing so, finds its circle of enthusiasts.
The Niksen House sparks debate and, in doing so, finds its circle of enthusiasts. As if tenderly embraced by the mountainside, the Niksen House nestles against the slope overlooking Kirchberg near Kitzbühel. Its dark Alucobond facade and clear architectural design intentionally provide a counterpoint to the customary traditional architecture in the region.
The Niksen House either captivates entirely or not at all – fortunately. This means that only those who share our commitment to innovative style and a sustainable concept call this place home.
Creating Space for Dreams
The architecture of the Niksen House was conceived by the renowned architect Stephan Metzner and executed by locally based architect Andreas Mitterer. The guiding principle: to bring extraordinary ideas to life, one must break free from conventional thought patterns. In the visionary Niksen House, terrace floors in Thermo-Ash, oak from the floors to the cutlery drawers, abundant natural stone, and glass coalesce to allow an unobstructed panoramic view of the surrounding mountain landscape.
Post-Sale Support
We've also taken into consideration a year-round service with gardeners, cleaning staff, and caretakers – individuals we recommend based on our experience.

LOCATION
Those who live here count themselves lucky
KIRCHBERG IS A SECRET TIP IN THIS BEAUTIFUL REGION
Just a few minutes by car from Kitzbühel – and almost in the middle of the ski area – lies the charming Kirchberg in the Kitzbühel Alps at an altitude of 832 meters. Approximately 5,400 residents live here very well and happily. Perhaps it's due to the average of 2525 hours of sunshine per year. Perhaps it's also due to the perfect location of this four-season destination. Or maybe both. The Niksen House is located at Maierlweg 2 in Kirchberg in the Kitzbühel Alps. It is the ideal place to either enjoy peace and relaxation or experience Kitzbühel with all its advantages. Skiers' paradise Snow enthusiasts particularly appreciate the immediate proximity to five valley stations that take them to the Kitzbühel ski area. Three of them are in Kirchberg: the Maierlbahn right outside the door, the Fleckalmbahn, and the Penglsteinbahn.
„Ski in. Ski out. Create time instead of wasting it. That's why the Niksen House is located at the Maierl lift.”
