A century of heritage meets the comfort of a smart home: unique Swabian farmhouse for sale in Regöly

It is rare to find a property where the past has not faded away, but remains visibly present. This home in Regöly is exactly that. Built in 1906, this Swabian farmhouse was owned by the same family for over a century. Respect for its history is tangible throughout: even the original “funeral door” remains closed to this day and was never opened during the renovation.

Nearly a decade ago, the current owner began a thoughtful and carefully planned renovation, preserving the authentic character of the house while bringing it up to modern standards. The adobe walls, veranda columns, exposed wooden beams and original doors all evoke the atmosphere of the past, while the interior reflects a refined rustic–vintage style. Most of the furniture consists of restored original pieces that are not decorative elements, but natural parts of the house’s story. The hand-painted stencil details add a unique character, making the entire interior personal and truly one of a kind.

The total area of the property is 300 sqm, of which 170 sqm is living space. The layout is practical and well-suited to modern living: part of the veranda has been enclosed, allowing all rooms to open separately. The house includes two bedrooms, a cozy living room with a fireplace, a characterful kitchen with a traditional stove, a spacious bathroom, a separate WC, and additional utility spaces.

Features:

The renovation is complete not only aesthetically but also technically: new windows and doors, insulated shutters, a fully renewed and reinforced electrical system (providing stable internet), and a structurally reinforced roof. The base and foundation are ventilated, which is essential for the long-term durability of an adobe structure.

The house operates on a highly efficient modern system. A solar panel installation provides the energy supply, making heating, hot water, and daily use extremely cost-effective – in practice, monthly utility costs are only a few thousand forints. Heating is provided by electric underfloor heating, complemented by Wi-Fi controlled electric radiators in the rooms if needed. In addition, the fireplace in the living room is not only atmospheric but fully functional, capable of heating the kitchen, living area and even the bedrooms for those who appreciate the warmth of a real fire.

The system functions as a smart home: heating, hot water and the security camera system can be controlled remotely and are also compatible with voice control via Google Home.

The garden has been designed with the same level of care as the interior. The vegetation has been thoughtfully selected: lavender, fig tree, asparagus, French tarragon, rosemary, elderberry, and four large walnut trees create a Mediterranean-leaning rural atmosphere that makes the entire space feel alive.

The outdoor kitchen, equipped with a traditional oven and smoker, naturally becomes the center of shared meals and gatherings, while the covered terrace can be enjoyed almost year-round. A rubber-paved area is ideal for installing a pool in summer and can also function as an 8x8 chessboard in cooler seasons.

A further highlight of the property is the 120 sqm barn, currently unused but in excellent structural condition. This space offers significant potential: it can be transformed into a wellness area with sauna and jacuzzi, a unique cinema or entertainment room, or additional guest rooms or apartments. It is rare to find a property with such strong character and at the same time such a large, freely adaptable space, offering real freedom for future ideas.

Location:

Regöly is a quiet, nature-oriented village in Tolna County, offering the kind of rural tranquility that more and more people are seeking. Rolling green hills, clean air and a slower pace of life provide a true sense of relaxation. The location is also practical: Tamási is just 20 km away, while Szekszárd is 40 km away, ensuring easy access to urban infrastructure while maintaining a peaceful environment.

The surrounding area is becoming increasingly attractive from a tourism perspective. Nearby forests, hiking trails, the Tamási wildlife park and the Koppány Valley Nature Park offer numerous outdoor activities. In addition, the Szekszárd wine region and smaller local wineries attract visitors throughout the year.

Demand for rural tourism continues to grow, while the number of high-quality accommodations in the area remains limited. A property like this therefore represents not only a lifestyle opportunity, but also a strong market position – especially as the region is becoming increasingly popular among international visitors, particularly from Germany and the Netherlands.

Additional information:

Here, atmosphere and modern comfort are not alternatives, but coexist seamlessly. This is exactly what makes the property truly special and rare. From an investment perspective, it is also an excellent opportunity: the property is registered in the NTAK system, making it ideal for short-term rental. Under current market conditions, it can generate approximately HUF 50,000 per night, providing stable passive income.
