One of the most beautiful panoramic views of Lake Balaton!
Located at the top of Öreghegy in Pécsely, next to a nature reserve and offering a magnificent panoramic view of Lake Balaton and the Pécsely Basin, this two-unit house—built in 2018 and seamlessly integrated into the landscape—is for sale. The building is exceptionally well-finished both inside and out, with a well-thought-out architectural and interior design and meticulous craftsmanship. On both the lower and upper levels of the house, there are independent apartments, each featuring an open-concept kitchen-dining-living area, a bedroom, a bathroom, and a closet/storage area; an arched, stone-paved outdoor staircase leads from these apartments to the upper-level living area. The building also includes a 10 m² storage room with a separate entrance. Surrounding the house, the upper level features a large covered terrace and a rear terrace, while the lower level features a huge panoramic terrace with parking for three cars, as well as a small wooden outbuilding with a toilet and sink and a firewood storage area. The large terraces are furnished with log furniture: two large hammocks, benches, and a massive table.
The house is equipped with a cooling and heating system, and each level is heated by an independent “Jotul” 9 kW Norwegian cast-iron stove with its own chimney. Hot water is provided by an electric water heater, and the bathrooms are heated by electric floor heating and radiators. The 38 cm thick Porotherm brick walls, thick facade and roof insulation, and triple-pane exterior wooden windows and doors provide excellent thermal insulation.
Both residential units are furnished with a complete, fully equipped kitchen, a large refrigerator, built-in cabinets, a dining set and living room furniture, a pull-out sofa, and a double bed in the bedroom. The “movable” portion of this furniture is subject to a separate agreement.
The construction of the house is a testament to the skill of local craftsmen: all exterior and interior doors and windows, built-in furniture, railings, and beds were crafted by a carpenter from Nemesvámos; the outdoor log furniture was made by a carpenter from Balatonszőlős; the roof/roofing/sheet metal work was done by a sheet metal worker from Aszófő; the masonry work was carried out by a master mason from Nemesgulács and his team; the paving and tiling were done by a tiler from Pécsely; the house was designed and supervised by an architect from Balatonfüred; and the detailing of the interior spaces is the work of an interior designer from Budapest.
An annual-billing solar panel system installed by EON operates on the tile roof, reducing the house’s monthly energy costs to less than 5 eFt.
Water is supplied by a deep-drilled well; the water has been tested and partially purified but is not suitable for direct consumption due to its high mineral content. The well’s flow rate is stable, averaging 30 l/min at a pressure of around 3.5 bar. Wastewater is biologically treated by passing through a layer of drainage gravel in an underground passive filtration system before being discharged.
The installed local mobile Wi-Fi network operates quickly and reliably. The house is equipped with a comprehensive alarm system featuring intrusion and motion sensors, which is connected to a remote monitoring system. Outdoor cameras have been installed, and their footage can be viewed remotely.
The total area of the property’s lot is 12,620 m², of which 7,800 m² is occupied by an “organic” Cabernet grapevine plantation—certified by Biokontroll—that was planted 8 years ago and is maintained with a metal trellis system. The 2,300 m² private oak forest above the house ensures a long-term supply of firewood.
The house is accessible via a wide, gravel-and-stone forest road approximately 1 km long.
The property is classified as a private garden and agricultural land, so a public notice is required. The process of subdividing the cadastral parcel is underway, involving the separation of a lower area of 6,000 m² planted with grapevines, which will reduce the size of the land belonging to the house to less than 1 ha (6,620 m²). As a result, the buyer does not need to be a registered farmer to purchase the property, and it is also available to foreign buyers. After the division, the price of the house and its land will be 199 MFt, and the 6,000 m² of buildable land, which will be assigned a separate parcel number, can be purchased separately.
For those seeking peace and quiet or a retreat, the house’s natural surroundings, flora and fauna, tranquility, and breathtaking panoramic views are a true wonder.
