EXCEPTIONAL PANORAMIC ESTATE IN HEGYMAGAS – EMBRACED BY LAKE BALATON AND THE WITNESS HILLS

There are houses that are simply buildings. And then there are places with history, soul, and character.

This nearly one-and-a-half-century-old, carefully reborn home in Hegymagas belongs to the latter.

The breathtaking panorama overlooking Lake Balaton and the striking outlines of Badacsony, Szent György Hill, Gulács, and Csobánc accompanies residents almost every moment. From the house, terrace, garden, jacuzzi, and even the sauna, the timeless view of the lake’s surface and the iconic hills unfolds before you.

The almost 4,708 m² area (with the surrounding land totaling 34,413 m²) is embraced by cultivated vineyards. Thanks to distant neighbors, thoughtfully designed vegetation, and the plot’s natural features, this place offers its owner an exceptionally private, peaceful, and undisturbed living environment. Here, proximity to nature is not just a view but an integral part of everyday life.

The current owner did not simply renovate the house built around 1870.

They truly gave it new life.

During the comprehensive renewal carried out between 2025 and 2026, preserving the original values of the building was a primary focus, while upgrading its technical features to meet the highest modern standards. Custom-designed windows and shutters, natural materials, sandstone walkways, and carefully considered details still preserve the old building’s atmosphere today.

The current state is not just the result of a renovation but the imprint of years of deliberate planning, careful execution, and exceptional attention to detail.

The building features 15 cm thick thermal insulation, mostly made of rock wool, complemented by modern façade insulation. The A++ energy-rated house is powered by a 10 kW photovoltaic system supported by a 15 kWh capacity battery energy storage.

A three-phase electrical network, a state-of-the-art heat pump system, full underfloor heating, air conditioning units, and a whole-house forced-air heating system together ensure comfortable, economical, and modern operation. The heat pump’s placement was carefully planned so that its operation does not disturb the tranquil environment.

The house has mains water supply but also benefits from its own drilled well. An automatic irrigation system covers the entire garden area, ensuring continuous watering for the carefully designed plant life.

Security is ensured by a camera and alarm system covering the entire property, which can be monitored remotely. The house is easily accessible year-round via an asphalt road.

The current layout creates a unified, spacious home feel, but thanks to its floor plan, it can be divided into two fully independent living units if desired. The two areas are currently separated by just one interior door, which, when open, seamlessly connects the spaces.

The house comprises:
- 2 living rooms
- 3 bedrooms
- 2 fully equipped kitchens
- 3 bathrooms
- 3 separate entrances
making it an excellent choice as a family home, multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or even a premium-level guesthouse.

The larger unit features a spacious living room, fully equipped kitchen, two bedrooms, and a tastefully designed bathroom. The cozy atmosphere of the living room is enhanced by a glass-door fireplace, making autumn and winter evenings especially memorable.

The smaller unit works perfectly as an independent living space. The living room and kitchen share an open plan, where a beautifully preserved antique Mária-glass tile stove creates a unique ambiance. The upstairs bedroom has its own high-quality bathroom equipped with Wellis sanitary fixtures and accessories.

The interior design consciously reflects the surrounding landscape’s mood. The blue of Lake Balaton, the green shades of vegetation, and the colors of the basalt from the witness hills are echoed in the surfaces, details, and overall interior. Large panoramic windows create an almost continuous connection with the outdoors, making nature a part of everyday life.

The garden was designed with as much care as the house itself.

Its centerpiece is a dignified olive tree, lending a Mediterranean atmosphere to the surroundings. Nearby, an impressive walnut tree provides shade for summer afternoons to come.

Groundcover plants along the property boundaries will further enhance the place’s privacy and beauty over the coming years. On one side, laser-cut patterned fence elements subtly evoke the local landscape’s spirit, harmoniously blending the built environment with nature.

The wellness area offers a unique experience on its own.

The barrel sauna in the garden, with panoramic windows facing Lake Balaton, provides a rare experience. From the sauna, you can enjoy uninterrupted views of the lake and witness hills during winter snowfalls or summer sunsets. An adjacent outdoor shower adds to the comfort.

The circular jacuzzi, oriented towards the panorama, is another highlight where the beauty of the landscape can be admired year-round.

The nearly 57 m² panoramic terrace in front of the house is the natural center for social life. It is perfect for barbecues, family gatherings, friendly dinners, or evening conversations over a glass of wine. Thanks to the shading system, the terrace is usable for much of the year.

Next to the property, a covered carport provides convenient parking for three to four cars.

A valuable and special feature of the house is the nearly 87 m² vaulted wine cellar beneath it.

This is not just a storage space but one of the best-preserved elements of the house’s history. Beautifully grouted stone walls, brick flooring, an original iron door, and a consistently pleasant climate create an atmosphere that is now rare.

This space alone is an experience. It is an excellent venue for private wine tastings, family celebrations, friendly get-togethers, or creating an exclusive wine lounge.

Modern engineering is discreetly placed here without disturbing the ambiance. It houses, among other things, the heat pump system, hot water storage, and central units of the photovoltaic system.

Near the cellar, the owner has consciously preserved part of the old stone wall, offering the new owner further opportunities to create a cozy guest area, wine retreat, artistic studio, or unique hobby room.
