Hergiswil – where privileges come together
Situated at the foot of Mount Pilatus, right on the shores of Lake Lucerne and just a few minutes from Lucerne, Hergiswil combines many of the features that make for an exceptional place to live: the lake and the mountains, tranquillity and proximity to the city, excellent infrastructure and a particularly attractive tax environment.
The lakeside municipality of Nidwalden has for years been one of the most sought-after places to live and do business in Central Switzerland. Its proximity to the A2 motorway and excellent public transport links ensure quick journeys to Lucerne and throughout Central Switzerland. Schools, shops, restaurants and a wide range of sports and leisure facilities are all located right in the village.
But Hergiswil is more than just a place to live with favourable tax rates. It is a place for people who want to combine quality of life, nature, privacy and excellent transport links.
A view over Lake Lucerne
There are plots of land that offer space for building. And there are plots of land that create space for a vision.
On a prime hillside plot spanning 1,219 m², a rare opportunity has arisen to develop an exceptional residential project with views of Lake Lucerne and the surrounding mountains. The distinctive topography provides precisely the conditions from which unique architecture can emerge: nestled into the hillside, spread across several levels and consistently designed to maximise views, light and privacy.
Two existing studies already demonstrate the scale of this potential. An exclusive residential development comprising ten spacious residential units and a total of 22 parking spaces has been proposed as a possible vision. The option under consideration comprises around 1,196 m² of net floor area, or around 1,268 m² of gross floor area.
Generous glazing, spacious outdoor areas and terraced architecture give a glimpse of the quality that could be achieved here. The visualisations should not be seen as the finished project, but rather as inspiration – and as proof of the immense potential this location holds.
Rare. Valuable. Full of possibilities.
Plots of land in Hergiswil offering this combination of lake views, a hillside location, size and development potential that has already been assessed are a rarity. This presents investors and project developers with the opportunity to create a project in one of Central Switzerland’s most sought-after residential locations that does justice to its setting – a high-quality, distinctive development with long-term prospects.
A plot of land for people who don’t just want to build, but want to create something special.
