Le Buchwald

The Soul of a Historic Alsatian Forest Estate

Nestled within a historic Alsatian forest estate, Le Buchwald is one of those rare places that cannot simply be described – it must be experienced. Surrounded by woodland yet only a few minutes from the charming village of Dambach, this former forester's house offers a unique sense of peace, where nature embraces the property without ever feeling remote. From the moment you arrive, a feeling of calm settles in. Exposed timber beams, natural stone, traditional fireplaces, the original Kachelofe and carefully preserved period features tell the story of a true Alsatian family home, lovingly restored to combine authenticity with modern comfort. Here, luxury is found in simplicity, warmth and the beauty of slowing down. The architecture of Le Buchwald is unlike any other. The original forester's house and the wellness wing are connected by a spectacular glass conservatory that forms the heart of the estate, opening the house onto the surrounding forest. Throughout the seasons, nature becomes part of everyday life. From the conservatory, it is not unusual to spot a deer quietly crossing the woodland, watch birds gathering in the trees or simply enjoy the ever-changing colours of the forest. Above all, Le Buchwald is a home designed for families. You can imagine the Kachelofe gently warming the room while snow falls outside. Children laugh and play in the conservatory, grandparents share a cup of hot chocolate by the fire, parents prepare dinner together, and everyone gathers around a large table to celebrate the simple joy of being together. Christmas, family celebrations, milestone birthdays or long weekends with friends naturally find their place here. This unique atmosphere is no coincidence. For generations, Le Buchwald has been cherished by a family deeply connected to the estate and to one another. Their love for this home and their desire to preserve its soul can still be felt throughout the property, giving every guest the feeling of being welcomed into a place that has always been lived in with kindness and generosity. Le Buchwald features eight elegant bedrooms accommodating up to 15 guests, several inviting lounges, two fully equipped kitchens, a magnificent conservatory overlooking the forest, a library with a piano, a billiard room, a heated indoor swimming pool, a sauna, a fitness room, a charming inner courtyard and several terraces. More than a holiday home, Le Buchwald is an invitation to reconnect with nature, with the people you love and with the simple pleasure of spending time together.
