Salgótarján, Rákóczi út 134. For sale family house

Exclusive Forest Panorama Estate at the Gateway to the City Center – A Home Where the Forest Is Your Neighbor.

A rare opportunity in Hungary, in the heart of Nógrád County, in Salgótarján!

Located just 2.5 km from the city center of Salgótarján, in a picturesque setting, our 156 sqm brick-built family house is now for sale.
The property sits on a 99-year-old, 1,614 sqm plot.

Location and Panorama: Where the City Meets the Forest!
Perched on a quiet little hilltop right at the edge of the forest, our home is easily accessible both on foot and by car via an asphalt road. It is located just 2.5 km from the downtown area of Salgótarján. We have no direct neighbors. The Salgótarján Outer Bus Station is located at the bottom of the hill, and the Salgótarján Outer Train Station is a bit further away. This means the house is easily accessible by public transport and rail, yet its hilltop location allows it to remain perfectly quiet and private. It is the ultimate balance: peace and quiet up above, city life down below.

Let’s Be Honest – The Challenges and Quirks of the House:
I want to be clear about the reality from the very beginning. We are looking for buyers who are truly open to the lifestyle that comes with living right next to the forest. This includes property maintenance and a literal daily struggle with the elements and wildlife.

A Tale of Two Halves:
The 156 sqm house has 6 rooms, 2 bathrooms, and an attic. It is huge, but currently only half of it is renovated. This means you can move into one half immediately, but the other half needs some minor, non-drastic renovations (plastering, painting, floor repairs). The advantage is that the new owner can shape it entirely to their own taste.

No More Roof Worries:
We have already taken care of the biggest and most expensive part. 75% of the entire roof structure has been completely renovated. The remaining older part of the roof still provides solid protection and is completely leak-free.

Utilities in Their Own Authentic, Rustic Way:
Due to the special location of the house, you will need to step out of your comfortable city habits

Sewage:
The most important utility, the public sewer system, is missing. Wastewater drainage is handled by a classic cesspool system from the old days.

Electricity:
The house is powered by a dual-rate electricity system (daytime and nighttime tariffs). There is also industrial electricity (3-phase power) available. For many decades, the house was used as an art studio, mainly for glassmaking, which required running high-performance melting kilns.

Water:
Mains water has been piped up from the central network through a frost-protected trench, and the plastic pipe system was fully replaced in 2011.

Heating:
Wood-burning stoves provide warmth in the rooms during the cold season, and a cooling-heating air conditioner was installed in the central room in 2025.

Gas:
Connecting to the gas network is possible, as there is a gas junction point on the road leading to the building.

Water Well:
Due to the hilltop location, a unique feature of the property is the lower garden beneath the house, which includes a drilled water well.

A Commitment to Nature:
Because the property connects directly to the forest, deer naturally stroll into the garden during the early morning and early evening hours. To us, this is pure magic. However, the future owner must be prepared to protect their vegetable patches or ornamental plants from them. Due to the morning mist rising from the valley, the climate here is very special, fresh, and lush. Because of this, mornings are cooler and damper than in the concrete downtown area.

Who Are We Looking For?
This house is ideal for a large family who is not afraid of hands-on work and wants to build a next-generation home step by step. It is also perfect for an investor looking to create a magical, secluded guest house for retreats.
