In Detail
Built around 1600 by the Rhaetian noble family von Albertini, rebuilt and expanded over the
centuries, the Chesa Albertini shines after a comprehensive renovation in a harmonious
combination of historical influences and contemporary luxurious comfort.
In the main building, there are 9 bedrooms, numerous living and dining rooms, 2 kitchens, 6 bathrooms and a separate guest bathroom (with fittings by designer Philippe Starck), a spa area with sauna, steam bath and fitness equipment. The upper floor can also be accessed through a separate entrance on the north side and can therefore be used as an independent residential unit. This entrance leads to the charming garden with old trees. The view from this elevated garden area is unique - the Chesa Merleda on the opposite side of the Inn, the Piz Mezemin the background and the vast open area towards Madulain combine to create an atmospheric painting.
The small house - the Old Mill (Mulin) - serves as a separate guest house with a cozy living room, a kitchen, a historically furnished bedroom and two other bedrooms with a bath room on the upper floor. The exit on the mountain side leads to the second, lower part of the picturesque garden.
The property includes three parking spaces in the underground car park on the neighbouring plot and various parking spaces between the old mill and the main building. The property is suitable to be inhabited all year round. But it can also be used seasonally.
The municipality of La Punt Chamues-ch has one of the lowest tax rates in the canton of Graubünden, has excellent financial strength and is therefore also extremely interesting from a tax point of view. An attractive lump-sum
taxation can be arranged for foreigners who establish their main residence in La Punt Chamues-ch.
The potential of the Chesa Albertini leaves nothing to be desired! The main building is a listed monument, but can be rebuilt and changed within the framework of legal regulations. The transformation into several apartments is also possible. The old mill is not a listed building and can be expanded considerably while preserving its external appearance. Both plots are in the village zone, for which no utilization restriction apply and which allow a very generous structural use - in addition to residential buildings also for commercial purposes. According to current legal regulations, the Chesa Albertini and the Old Mill can be expanded by 30 % which would lead to additional living space of approx. 270 m2. The potential of this property is therefore considerable and of equal interest to private individuals, companies and investors, especially in connection with the InnHub La Punt, which will soon be built at a comfortable walking distance from the Chesa Albertini.
Location
La Punt Chamues-ch is located in the Canton of Graubünden at the southern foot of the Albula Pass in the heart of the Upper Engadine. The sunny high valley is embedded in a fairytale alpine landscape and surrounded by the imposing mountains of the Engadin. The sophisticated and luxurious holiday resort of St. Moritz is only 15 km away.
From La Punt Chamues-ch, nature experiences and unlimited leisure opportunities can be optimally combined with the glamor and lifestyle of St. Moritz - in summer and in winter. The bridge over the rushing Inn connects the farming village Chamues-ch situated at 1,700 m.a.s.l. with the former patrician town of La Punt, which together form a community with 700 inhabitants. The picturesque Engadin farmhouses and patrician houses from the 16th and 17th centuries give the village a very special charm. In 2021, La Punt Chamues-ch was named Swiss Village of the Year as a lively and well-preserved place. The community is facing two significant major projects that will be implemented in the coming years: With the construction of the cantonal bypass road starting in 2025, the heart of which is a 600 m long tunnel under the village, the community will be freed from transit traffic. This involves extensive renaturation along the Inn.
Currently under construction nearby is Innhub La Punt. The innovation and meeting centre developed with the participation of the renowned architect Norman Foster is an innovation campus to combine work and seminar opportunities as well as educational and health services on an area of 7,000 m2 under one roof. Furthermore, the InnHub boasts seminar spaces, sports facilities, retail shops, restaurants, hotel rooms, and apartments. The addition of this spectacular development brings the perfect blend of modern features to this cosy Swiss village.
La Punt Chamues-ch is easily accessible by private and public transport, e.g. from Zurich in 2.5 hours. The municipality has its own train station and good regional bus connections. The nearby Samedan airfield also makes it easy to arrive by helicopter or private jet.
