15.5-HECTARE SELF-SUFFICIENT ESTATE WITH A 1250 m² MAIN BUILDING AND PRIVATE FISH POND, TWELVE KILOMETERS FROM BUDAPEST’S BORDER

BRIEF SUMMARY
Each year, only a few estates larger than fifteen hectares come onto the market in Hungary that are located just twelve kilometers from Budapest’s border. Almost all of these are castles or mansions, which come with heritage restrictions, multi-hundred-million renovation costs, and unpredictable maintenance. This estate is different. Located in the Felsőbabád district of Ócsa, it spans 155,271 m²—nearly 15.5 hectares—of contiguous land, surrounded on all sides by the Ócsa Landscape Protection Area. The property is divided into three parts: a 1.5-hectare landscaped and fenced garden with its own fish pond, a 13.8-hectare forest, and a yard housing the farm buildings. At its center is the owner-designed, three-story main building covering 1250 m², which received its occupancy permit in 2010. It includes nine bedrooms, a study, two living rooms, two kitchens, five bathrooms plus a separate toilet, a 76.11 m² indoor swimming pool with a full wellness area, a 114.16 m² terrace, and a 144.40 m² garage. The property operates independently with its own well, sewage treatment plant, a 122-panel, 63 kW solar park, and geothermal pump—requiring no heat pump—meaning this investment is immediately ready for occupancy.

ABOUT THE ESTATE
Within the fenced area, the 1.5-hectare landscaped garden hosts the main building and a 70 by 30-meter fish pond, stocked only with common carp and crucian carp. The pond is not merely decorative but a self-sustaining aquatic system that improves the estate’s microclimate and provides fishing opportunities right in the garden.

The lower level of the main building is mostly built into an earth embankment. This design serves dual purposes: it stabilizes the building’s temperature and integrates the house into the landscape, giving the estate’s overall appearance a harmonious, hill-embracing, curved structure.

The lower floor accommodates the estate’s operational and leisure areas. Here you find the 144.40 m² garage with remote-controlled doors, fitting four to six cars if needed; a 67.84 m² billiard room; a 21.41 m² gym; a 10.93 m² brick-lined wine cellar; laundry room; boiler storage; two additional storage rooms; and a 75.25 m² mechanical room for the pool. These functions are entirely separate from the living areas, so technical operations and daily maintenance do not disturb the household.

The first floor is the representative level. Through the veranda and entrance hall, you enter the 44.48 m² living room, which connects to the 29.76 m² dining room, kitchen with pantry, and a 20.92 m² study. This floor also includes two guest rooms, two additional rooms sized 21.86 and 24.06 m², three bathrooms, a separate toilet, and two walk-in closets. From here, access the 21 m² wellness area with a jacuzzi, Finnish and infrared saunas, and the 76.11 m² swimming pool area, featuring a heated pool with counter-current system and lighting. The pool area is equipped with a robust vapor extraction system, which is essential to protecting the building’s structure.

The 114.16 m² terrace naturally extends the living space, accompanied by an 18.24 m² garden pavilion on stilts. From here you can see the pond, the garden barbecue, and the park; in summer months, the terrace becomes the main outdoor living space.

The second floor is dedicated to private living and can function as a fully independent residential unit. It features its own 41.37 m² living room, 20.74 m² kitchen, two bathrooms, walk-in closet, storage, and five rooms sized 21.91, 15.50, and 9.04 m². This layout offers genuine advantages for multi-generational living or frequent guests, as the upper occupants can live independently from the ground floor.

The 32-meter-long farm building includes a separate staff apartment with a summer kitchen, pantry, bathroom, and three rooms, alongside a 67.44 m² horse stable, several storage areas, a machine shed, and covered porches. Thanks to the stable and adjoining areas, horses can be accommodated here, while the machine shed remains valuable even without horses, providing space for machinery, tools, and vehicles.

MATERIALS AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The estate’s greatest technical asset is its independence. It relies on three key elements: geothermal heating with a heat pump, a 63 kW solar park consisting of 122 panels, and its own waterworks and sewage treatment plant. This setup ensures largely autonomous, reliable operation independent of external service providers, with remarkably low maintenance costs relative to its size. Consumption data will be provided during viewing.

ABOUT THE SURROUNDINGS
The estate is in the Felsőbabád district of Ócsa, twelve kilometers from Budapest’s edge, reachable year-round via fully paved roads. Central Budapest is about a half-hour drive away, and the M5 motorway runs nearby. The surrounding Ócsa Landscape Protection Area not only offers scenic beauty but also legally prevents development, preserving the estate’s environment long-term.

BUSINESS POTENTIAL
For those seeking a functional venue rather than just a home, the estate offers complete infrastructure. With nine bedrooms, five bathrooms, two living rooms, and two kitchens—plus an independently operable upper level—the 114.16 m² terrace and the 1.5-hectare fenced park provide ample space for outdoor events. Parking is available on-site. The enclosed property and protected surroundings ensure privacy, making it ideal for corporate retreats, small weddings, or boutique hotel use.

WHY ACT NOW?
This estate can be utilized in several independent ways: as a residence, multi-generational home, corporate guesthouse, or event venue, so it is not tied to a single lifestyle. Only a handful of such large, contiguous, self-sufficient, and immediately livable estates come to market each year, and even fewer this close to Budapest.
