2 ½ rooms apartment

We are spending a year in Asia and are renting out our home during this time: a furnished loft in the former spinning mill of the Stoffel-Areal in Mels, one of the most exciting redevelopment projects in Eastern Switzerland.

• 112 m2 living area, 2.5 rooms
• 59 m2 private terrace directly into the green courtyard
• 3.75 m ceiling height, original cast iron columns, floor-to-ceiling factory windows
• Open living/dining/kitchen area (76 m2) with high-quality kitchen
• Separate bedroom, modern bathroom with spacious shower

• Reduit as additional storage space

THE AREA
The Stoffel-Areal (uptownmels.ch) is an excellent, car-free factory area high above Mels with an infrastructure that is hard to find elsewhere:

• Natural pool with sunbathing lawn, for ice bathing in winter, with a sauna directly next to it
• Restaurant and Brasserie Kraftwerk directly on the premises
• Kindergarten, playgrounds, hairdresser, yoga and pilates studios, artist studios
• Community room (reservable for private events) and BBQ area
• Own inclined elevator connects the area with the village
• Active neighborhood association with regular events (stoffel-nachbarschaft.ch)

The neighborhood is young and lively: many families whose children play together in the courtyards, as well as entrepreneurs, artists, and commuters to Zurich.

• Immediately on the highway towards Zurich, Chur, or Vaduz by car
• Pizolpark and Pizolcenter with large Migros MMM, specialist markets, and various specialty shops directly at the village entrance, as well as shops and cafes in the village
• Lively village life with much tradition: village festivals on the historic village square, the famous Melser Alpabfahrten in September (one of the most beautiful alpine descents in Switzerland) and over 80 active clubs

WHO THIS SUITS
This apartment is an opportunity to have a living experience for one year that is hard to find:

• For young families: The area is a dream for children. The kids play together in the car-free courtyards and on the playgrounds, the kindergarten is on the premises, and the neighborhood is truly neighborly; people know and help each other.
• For city dwellers who want to test country life: Many here work in Zurich and commute without problems (express train from Sargans). In return, you have biking, downhill, hiking, and skiing directly at your doorstep, plus a pool and sauna on the premises. Keep the city job, try out mountain life, decide after one year.
• For everyone looking for a new chapter: Whether a break from city life, home office with a mountain view, or simply a desire for a change of scenery, the fixed term makes it an experiment without risk.
