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

Some houses are simply buildings. Others have history, soul, and character.

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

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

The nearly 4,708 m² property is surrounded by cultivated vineyards. Thanks to distant neighbors, thoughtfully designed greenery, and the plot’s natural features, this location offers its owner an exceptionally private, peaceful, and undisturbed living environment. Here, the closeness of nature is not just a sight but an integral part of daily life.

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

They breathed new life into it.

During the comprehensive renewal completed between 2025 and 2026, preserving the building’s original values was a top priority, while its technical features were upgraded to meet the highest modern standards. Custom-designed windows and shutters, natural materials, sandstone pathways, and carefully considered details still preserve the old building’s authentic atmosphere today.

The current state is not merely the result of renovation but the imprint of years of thoughtful planning, meticulous execution, and exceptional attention to detail.

The building features 15 cm thick thermal insulation, mostly made of rock wool, complemented by modern facade insulation. The A++ energy-rated house’s power supply is supported by a 10 kW solar panel system coupled with a 15 kWh battery energy storage unit.

A three-phase electrical network, a modern heat pump system, full underfloor heating, air conditioning units, and a whole-house warm air circulation system collectively ensure comfortable, efficient, and contemporary operation. The heat pump’s placement was carefully considered to ensure its operation does not disturb the tranquil environment.

The house benefits from a municipal water supply as well as its own drilled well. The entire garden is served by an automatic irrigation system, ensuring continuous watering of the carefully curated plant life.

Security is provided by a comprehensive camera and alarm system covering the entire property, which can be monitored remotely. The house is accessible year-round via a paved road.

The current layout creates a unified, spacious home feel, yet the floor plan allows, if desired, division into two fully independent living units. The two sections are currently separated only by an interior door that, when open, seamlessly connects the spaces.

Altogether, the house offers:
- 2 living rooms
- 3 bedrooms
- 2 fully equipped kitchens
- 3 bathrooms
- 3 separate entrances, making it an excellent choice as a family home, for multigenerational living, hosting guests, or even as a premium guesthouse.

The larger living area features a spacious living room, a fully equipped kitchen, two bedrooms, and a tastefully designed bathroom. A glass-door fireplace in the living room creates a cozy atmosphere, especially memorable on autumn and winter evenings.

The smaller unit functions perfectly as an independent living space. The living room and kitchen share an open-plan design, where a beautifully preserved antique Mary glass stove adds unique charm. The upstairs bedroom includes its own high-quality bathroom equipped with Wellis sanitary ware and accessories.

When designing the interiors, a conscious effort was made to reflect the surrounding landscape’s atmosphere inside the house. The blues of Lake Balaton, the green shades of the vegetation, and the basalt hues of the witness hills are echoed in the finishes, details, and throughout the interior. Large panoramic windows create an almost constant connection with the outdoors, making nature a daily presence.

The garden was crafted with the same care as the building itself.

Its centerpiece is a dignified olive tree, lending a Mediterranean ambiance to the surroundings. Nearby, an impressive walnut tree offers shade for future summer afternoons.

Ground cover plants along the property lines will further enhance the site’s intimacy and beauty in the coming years. Laser-cut patterned fence panels on one side subtly evoke the surrounding landscape, 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 overlooking Lake Balaton, provides a rare experience. Whether in winter snow or a summer sunset, the view of the lake and witness hills can be enjoyed uninterrupted. An adjacent outdoor shower adds extra comfort.

The circular jacuzzi oriented towards the panorama is another highlight, allowing year-round enjoyment of the landscape’s beauty.

The nearly 57 m² panoramic terrace in front of the house is the natural hub of social life. It offers a perfect setting for barbecues, family gatherings, friendly dinners, or evening conversations over a glass of wine. Thanks to a shading structure, the terrace can be used for much of the year.

Next to the house, a covered carport provides comfortable parking for three to four vehicles.

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

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

This space is an experience in itself. It is an excellent venue for private wine tastings, family celebrations, friendly gatherings, or creating an exclusive wine lounge.

Modern mechanical systems are discreetly housed here without disturbing the space’s ambiance. This includes the heat pump system, hot water storage, and central units of the solar power system.

Near the cellar, the owner intentionally preserved part of the old stone wall, offering the new owner possibilities to create a cozy guest area, wine relaxation spot, art studio, or unique hobby room.
