15.5-HECTARE SELF-SUSTAINING ESTATE WITH A 1250 m² MAIN BUILDING AND PRIVATE FISH POND, TWELVE KILOMETERS FROM BUDAPEST CITY LIMITS

BRIEF SUMMARY
In Hungary, only a few estates larger than fifteen hectares come onto the market each year, especially those just twelve kilometers from Budapest’s city border. Most of these are castles or mansions with heritage restrictions, requiring costly renovations and unpredictable maintenance. This estate is different. Located in Ócsa’s Felsőbabád district, it spans 155,271 m²—nearly 15.5 hectares—surrounded on all sides by the Ócsa Protected Landscape Area. The property is divided into three parts: a 1.5-hectare fenced and landscaped garden with a private fish pond, a 13.8-hectare forest, and a courtyard housing the farm buildings. At its heart stands the owner-designed, three-story main building with 1250 m² of floor space, which received its occupancy permit in 2010. It features 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 estate operates independently with its own well, wastewater treatment system, a 63 kW solar panel array with 122 panels, and geothermal pump heating without a heat pump—ready for immediate occupancy without further investment.

ABOUT THE ESTATE
Inside the fence, the 1.5-hectare landscaped garden area includes the main building and a 70×30-meter fish pond inhabited by carp and crucian carp. The pond is not just decorative but a self-sustaining water system that improves the estate’s microclimate and offers fishing opportunities right in the garden.

The lower level of the main building is largely earth-bermed, a design that stabilizes indoor temperatures and blends the house harmoniously into the landscape, giving the estate a unique silhouette with its curved, hill-hugging architecture.

The lower floor serves the operational and recreational functions of the estate. It houses a 144.40 m² garage with remote-controlled doors that can accommodate four to six vehicles, a 67.84 m² billiard room, a 21.41 m² gym, a 10.93 m² brick-lined wine cellar, laundry room, boiler storage of 1 m², two additional storage rooms, and a 75.25 m² mechanical room for the swimming pool. These utility areas are completely separate from the living quarters, ensuring that technical operations and daily maintenance do not disturb the household.

The first floor is the representative living area. Entering through the arcade and foyer, you reach a 44.48 m² living room connected to a 29.76 m² dining room, a kitchen with pantry, and a 20.92 m² study. This level also includes two guest bedrooms, two more rooms sized 21.86 and 24.06 m², three bathrooms, a separate toilet, and two walk-in closets. From here, a 21 m² wellness area opens up, featuring a Jacuzzi, Finnish and infrared saunas, and a 76.11 m² swimming pool space equipped with heating, counter-current swimming system, and lighting. The pool area is fitted with a powerful vapor extraction system, essential for protecting the building’s structure at this function.

The 114.16 m² terrace is a natural extension of the living space, accompanied by an 18.24 m² elevated garden pavilion. From here, you can see the pond, garden barbecue, and park area. During summer months, the terrace becomes the primary outdoor living space.

The second floor is dedicated to private living and can function as a fully independent residential unit. It includes a 41.37 m² living room, a 20.74 m² kitchen, two bathrooms, a walk-in closet, storage room, and five bedrooms measuring 17.91, 15.50, and 9.04 m² among others. This layout is ideal for multigenerational living or regular guests, allowing upper floor residents to live independently from the ground floor.

The 32-meter-long outbuilding contains a separate staff apartment with a summer kitchen, pantry, bathroom, and three rooms. Adjacent are a 67.44 m² stable, multiple storage rooms, machine shed, and covered porches. Due to the stable and surrounding areas, horses can be accommodated here, while the machine shed is useful for storing equipment and vehicles even without horses on the property.

MATERIALS AND TECHNICAL FEATURES
The estate’s greatest technical asset is its independence. This is achieved through geothermal heating with a heat pump, a 63 kW solar panel array of 122 panels, and its own water and wastewater treatment systems. As a result, the property operates largely independently from external utilities with reliable performance, and maintenance costs remain surprisingly low given its size. Actual consumption data will be provided during the viewing.

- Geothermal pool heating with a heat pump
- 122-panel, 63 kW solar power system
- 10 solar collectors for domestic hot water production
- Mains gas and gas boiler as backup heat sources

ABOUT THE AREA
The estate is located in Ócsa’s Felsőbabád district, twelve kilometers from Budapest’s city limit, reachable year-round via fully paved main road. Downtown Budapest is approximately a thirty-minute drive, with the M5 motorway running nearby. Surrounded by the Ócsa Protected Landscape Area, the estate benefits from development restrictions that preserve the surrounding environment long-term.

BUSINESS POTENTIAL
For those seeking a functional venue rather than just a home, the estate offers ready infrastructure. With nine bedrooms, five bathrooms, two living rooms, and two kitchens, the upper floor can operate independently. The 114.16 m² terrace and 1.5-hectare fenced park are spacious enough for outdoor events, with parking available on-site. The enclosed, private grounds and protected surroundings make it ideal for corporate retreats, small weddings, or boutique hotel use.

WHY ACT NOW?
The estate can be utilized in multiple independent ways—as a residence, multigenerational home, corporate guest house, or event venue—offering flexibility rather than locking you into a single lifestyle. Properties of this size, self-sustaining, and immediately livable are rare on the market, especially this close to Budapest.
