Stunning homes built in the world’s loneliest locations
When we say this cabin is remote, we're not exaggerating. Nestled on 1,300 acres (526ha) in the valley of Kosciuszko National Park, New South Wales, the residence couldn't be any more isolated from the modern world.
The extensive mountaintop estate is made up of both sub-alpine and alpine bushland and farmland, with the Thredbo River below. An old blacksmith shed once sat on the land, but the owners decided to create something new.
The cabin features new materials, too, including sustainably sourced hardwoods, recycled glass and galvanised steel. These natural and raw materials pay tribute to the local environment and were chosen to stand the test of time.
Yet guests of this stunning Airbnb are likely more interested in the beautiful surrounding landscape. Here, visitors can enjoy fishing, skiing, snowboarding, cycling, hiking and climbing, weather depending.
Positioned at an altitude of 3,937 feet (1,200m) in the Austrian Alps, the property is not only isolated but occupies one of the world's most spectacular spots.
During summer, the cabin offers fantastic hiking opportunities, while in winter the front door opens directly onto a ski slope.
Inside, the cosy cabin is rustic and traditional, with simple timber walls, floors and ceilings. Exposed beams, antique furnishings and quaint decorative touches add to its charm.
