You can live in your lake house as much as you want, or you can rent it out to whomever you choose. The choice is yours. It is after all your property.

Can I use the property as a second home?
Our homes are officially classified as recreational property and thus can be used as a second home.
Any EU citizen is eligible to buy these properties as a second home and make use of it as he or she pleases. Non-EU and EEA citizens require a permit to purchase property in Austria, which must be obtained from the land transfer office.
The plots are designated under the current planning scheme of the Neusiedl local council as a BF-Building Development for holiday homes. The lake villas may therefore be used as a weekend and holiday home, but not as the main residence. However, like many regions in Austria, no main residence is necessary.

The lake houses have covered parking spaces directly by your house, where you can park a car. Another parking space in the neighboring parking lot (across the street) is included in the purchase price.
