Country House for Sale Near the Lake in Kistolmács – A Place Where It Feels Good to Arrive

Kistolmács is one of the settlements in Zala County favored by those seeking to escape the city pace and value closeness to nature, a peaceful environment, and slower everyday life. The village is well-loved for the atmosphere created by the Kistolmács Lake, the forest railway, and the rolling Zala hills. One of Kistolmács’s greatest assets is that it has not become a crowded holiday resort zone. It still has life and charm while remaining a calm, livable village.

Today, the area is popular not only among anglers and hikers. In recent years, several nature-oriented tourism developments have appeared around the lake, including a yurt camp, which reflects the village’s direction: focusing on natural relaxation, a quieter lifestyle, and preserving the unique atmosphere of the Zala landscape.

The house is located at an ideal distance from the lake—reachable within an evening stroll—yet positioned away from the busier lakeside areas. This makes it especially appealing to those who are not looking for summer crowds but rather a place where it feels good to arrive after a long week and where everyday life takes on a completely different rhythm in just a few days.

This house, with a gross floor area of about 112 square meters and a net living space of approximately 95 square meters, sits on a 923-square-meter plot that ends in a wooded area along the village’s main street. The property requires a full interior renovation in its current state, which offers a unique opportunity for the new owner to shape the spaces according to their own vision. There is no need to compromise, as the entire house can be reimagined from a nearly blank slate.

Several important renovation works have already been completed: the roof battens have been replaced, the roof tiles were cleaned with high-pressure water, the beams are in good condition, a vapor barrier foil was installed under the roof, and a new gutter system was put in place. Any visible previous water marks resulted from the roof cleaning and do not indicate structural problems. The house is dry, helped by its hillside location, which allows rainwater to naturally drain away from the property.

Plaster has been intentionally removed in several places to allow the walls to breathe properly. The interior spaces are currently in a raw state, allowing the new owner to customize room sizes and layouts according to personal needs.

The plot also includes a well, which could be useful for future water supply. Utilities such as water and electricity are available on the property. There is a water meter, but no electricity meter installed yet. The village does not have a gas or sewage network. The current sewage system’s exact setup is unknown, so arranging this will be the responsibility of the new owner. The property has a chimney, allowing for various heating options to be installed.

This property is an excellent choice for those not seeking a move-in-ready home but a place they can develop according to their own ideas. It is ideal as a weekend retreat, a countryside getaway, or a second home for those who prioritize the tranquility of the Zala region, proximity to the lake, and the special charm of Kistolmács over the constant hustle of city life. For these reasons, the village has become increasingly popular in recent years among buyers looking for nature-close weekend homes.
