Münsing | €1.99 million ($2.16 million)
A country house with a pool between Munich and the Bavarian Alps
With its sloping roof, wood balcony and shutters, and vine-covered walls, this four-bedroom family home about 25 miles southwest of central Munich evokes a traditional Bavarian farmhouse. Built in 1989, the house has been through several upgrades, including a designer kitchen and new heating in 2021.
The village of Münsing, in the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district, has several restaurants, churches and a grocery store. One of the region’s star attractions is within walking distance: Lake Starnberg, a destination for day-trippers and vacationers. Of the lake, the narrator in T.S. Eliot’s poem “The Wasteland,” said: “Summer surprised us, coming over the Starnbergersee.” The Bavarian Alps are about an hour’s drive south, and Munich International Airport is about 45 miles northeast.
