Zweig Villa Sale Faces Hard 2028 Deadline on Tunnel Entitlement

Stefan Zweig's Salzburg villa, now on the market for €12.7m, comes with planning permission for a 500-metre tunnel through the adjacent mountain—valid only until the end of 2028. That expiry creates a strategic constraint: any buyer hoping to acquire the literary landmark must either accept the controversial tunnel entitlement or negotiate a lower price reflecting its imminent lapse. For Austria's campaign to secure the property for public access, the clock matters enormously.
