LIVING IN THE MILL.
This exceptional property in the Piesting Valley in southern Lower Austria impresses with its size, versatile possibilities and the contemporary, attractive design of the newly revitalized 260 m² residential wing. The well-kept garden, designed by a gardener, with a 14-meter swimming biotope complements this high-quality ensemble. Integrated into the established village center of Peisching and offering wide views of the Gutenstein Alps, it meets all the requirements of a top property with heart near Vienna.
The loving and careful conversion of the original mill building into living space (designed for a family of five) is the result of meticulous planning by the owners and a highly qualified team of architects and contractors. A listed ensemble was thus transformed into a unique refuge - one that does not hide its past. The buildings of the Kolitsch Walz Mill are located in a village with more than 800 years of history. Its almost completely preserved mill interior (currently in the attic of the residential wing) - with original rolling machinery, transmission equipment and historic finds from the period of operation - is a living monument unique in Austria.

THE OLD GRAIN STORE
2 SEPARATE RESIDENTIAL WINGS
MODERN GARAGE
LEFT WING
Grain Store.
A standalone space with great potential. The former grain storage building (most recently used as a cinema and later as a gallery) breathes the memory of community, art, and storytelling (the last film screening took place in 1972). Its generous dimensions (approximately 200 m²) and notable ceiling height open up a variety of development possibilities — whether as an atelier, workshop, gallery, studio, or seminar room.
MIDDLE WING
Historical residential house.
The former centerpiece of the ensemble (connected to the central heating system, hot-water boiler) functions as a separate residential unit of approximately 240 m² across two levels. Its historic fabric is well maintained and intact, while the technical fittings leave room for modernization with sensitivity. The current interior conveys an era of bourgeois elegance and the owners’ artistic taste: high ceilings, old plank floors and parquet, and historic tiled stoves.
RIGHT WING
Revitalized mill.
The mill wing, revitalized with great care and artisanal refinement: approximately 260 m² of finished living space over two levels. Exposed wooden beam ceilings, wall heating, patterned cement tiles, an open kitchen-living area with a wood-burning stove. A gallery space with a 6 m high ceiling. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sauna. Ancillary building with a goods lift, unfinished attic, technical room
THE WALZMÜHLE. A PLACE FOR NEW CHAPTERS.
POTENTIAL USES
The Kolitsch Rolling Mill is a house with history. Its variety of rooms, three independent buildings and the surrounding nature make it a stage for very different ways of living. All attics of the ensemble are currently undeveloped and offer significant expansion potential, which is to be realized under monument protection conditions. The nearly new pellet boiler and air-source heat pump reliably supply the current living areas.
Three undeveloped attics with substantial area potential (350 m²)
Former granary approx. 200 m², undeveloped
Revitalized mill wing 260 m² as an immediately habitable living area including sauna, wood-burning stove, and fireplace
Residential wing “cold room” with goods lift, heating and storage areas
Historic residential wing habitable; requires updating to current technical standards

EMBEDDED BETWEEN VIENNA AND THE ALPINE FORELAND
Peisching is located in the heart of the Piesting Valley - one of Lower Austria’s most charming regions. The Gutenstein Alps form the horizon, and the Piesting River (protected against flooding) runs past the property. The estate benefits from an exceptional location: excellent transport links via the Gutenstein Railway with direct connections to Wiener Neustadt and Vienna, while also offering immediate access to hiking trails, cycling routes and the natural landscape of the Biedermeier cultural valley.
All daily necessities are available in the village and in the nearby towns of Piesting and Wöllersdorf, as well as in the district town of Wiener Neustadt. Vienna–Schwechat Airport is reachable in about 45 minutes.
LOCATION:
The Piestingtal in southern Lower Austria, also known as the Biedermeier Valley, is a picturesque region in the Gutenstein Alps. You can reach central Vienna by car in about 45 minutes, Wiener Neustadt in approximately 20 minutes, the airport in around 45 minutes, and Eisenstadt in about 40 minutes.
Important information about the flood protection project: A total of €10.5 million was invested in this project by the market municipality of Waldegg, the State of Lower Austria and the federal government to protect the population.
The Walzmühle is protected according to the HQ100 zone (100‑year flood). The buildings were not affected by the floods in recent years.
