Hello, we are the Peritsch family!
We are your hosts at the holiday residence, the Maschansker. We took over the property in 2006 from a farming family we are friends with. For the first 5 years, we used the two hectares of land in a manner similar to the decades before. This meant that hay and fruit harvests were on the agenda during the summer months. Of course, that was a lot of work, but it was in the beautiful nature. A particular highlight was the annual apple harvest. From the collected apples from the orchard, we pressed our own apple juice.
The green hill with many fruit trees and the cool wooded area has always been a welcome change for us from daily city life near Vienna. However, we always associated this place with a lot of work. In 2011, we decided that we wanted to use the two hectares of land for other purposes as well.
Out of the desire to jump into the cool water after a day of work in the summer, the idea of a swimming pond emerged. The idea quickly became a larger project, which led to the creation of a new small holiday house and a natural pond landscape with regional volcanic rock as its foundation. Gradually, the purpose of the property has shifted from work to enjoyment.
We learned to appreciate the pleasure of the location, the open nature, and country life more and more, and wanted to enable this feeling for guests as well. This gave rise to the idea of transforming the traditional cellar into a modern holiday residence while retaining its original character. The renovation and refurbishing work will be completed in the summer.
As a family, we are very much looking forward to welcoming guests and being able to share the pleasure of the region, the country experience, and the Maschansker experience with you.
