Overview
- The Paschinger Schlössl has been listed on Le Figaro Properties for about $14.6 million (≈€12.7 million), with the previously approved tunnel project advertised as a key feature.
- City and state planning bodies confirmed they granted permission for a roughly 500-meter private tunnel and on-site garage and said the permit is attached to the property and expires three years after approval.
- Local opposition to the tunnel was sustained, with environmental groups, the Greens and the KPÖ campaigning against it and a petition collecting more than 19,000 signatures.
- Media reports cite unnamed insiders saying public criticism of the tunnel and 'super-rich' sentiment influenced Wolfgang Porsche’s decision to sell, while Porsche and Porsche SE have declined to comment.
- The villa is historically significant, was bought and extensively restored by Porsche in October 2020, offers 12 rooms on about 616 m² with roughly 7,800 m² of grounds, and a new owner could choose to proceed with the expensive project but must meet the permit deadline.
