The building, St. Oswald – Eibiswald 58, was built in 1955 and extended in 1985 with the addition of a doctor's office. A complete renovation and replacement of the roof took place in 2012. Since I purchased the property in 2014, it has been continuously renovated and modernized.

The village of St. Oswald, located above Eibiswald, is situated in the West Styrian hills at the foot of the Koralpe mountain, at an altitude of 747 meters. In summer, it offers a cooler climate, while in winter, it is generally free of fog, sunny, and warmer than the Eibiswald-Oberhaag area. The surrounding area is abundant with fruit orchards and vineyards, offering numerous restaurants and opportunities to sample local products. There are many hiking and cycling trails in the vicinity, and the north-south long-distance hiking trail passes through the village. The village center boasts a heated public swimming pool with a slide, a buffet, and a beach volleyball court, as well as a large playground in front of the house.
