Just a stone’s throw from the heart of Tokaj-Hegyalja, in the center of Erdőbénye, a genuine family home from the 1950s awaits its new owner: someone who can see the storied past within its walls and envision a lovingly restored future. The approximately 100 m² main house connects to a 35 m² outbuilding that can be easily opened into the main building, allowing it to be reborn as a charming guest wing, a workshop, or a generous family living area. The stone-built main house and the outbuilding constructed from “keresztúri” blocks provide solid foundations for transformation, while the tiled roof, wooden ceiling structure, and reed insulation are in normal condition, preserving the patina of time.

The two larger rooms are finished with parquet flooring, while the rest of the house features the cool elegance of well-preserved cement tiles. There are currently two bathrooms for comfort, one of which can be easily converted back into a bedroom. Daily life is made cozy by stoves and fireplaces in each room, with a working tile stove in the main room guarding the magic of winter evenings. Hot water is provided by a boiler, water can be supplied either from the mains or via the available hydrophore system, and the gas connection point is already inside the yard, giving the new owner the option to install a modern heating system. The property’s technical features are ideal for a fresh start: 3×16 A and industrial power are available, the building is walkable all around with neat paved edging, and the brick chimneys are in good condition.

The 963 m² plot is just the right size for a fragrant herb garden, a shady walnut tree, or a cozy terrace for evening wine—its stone bench elements are simply waiting to be renewed. Erdőbénye is more than a home; it’s a way of life: embraced by rolling hills, with crisp mountain air, a friendly community, hiking trails, and weekend programs, while every sip of Tokaj wine will remind you why it feels so good to stay. The property is unencumbered and in need of renovation, so you can shape it to your taste; financing options may include Rural CSOK, CSOK Plus, and a 3% loan, subject to eligibility.

If you’re looking for a home where the quiet of the past meets the promise of the future, come and see this solid, characterful property—your next chapter can begin here. For an appointment, call or send a message, and for mortgage assistance, your partner is Pataky Real Estate and Hitelpont.
