More than just a large house – a traditional manor-style property with exceptional potential

For sale in Somogyaszaló, Hungary, a unique and spacious two-unit family home in need of renovation, situated on a 2,139 m² plot and accompanied by an extensive collection of agricultural and outbuildings.

The location is also attractive for those who are looking for a peaceful rural setting with plenty of space, while still wanting convenient access to a city, nature, leisure facilities and popular destinations.

Somogyaszaló – an excellent location in Somogy County, Hungary:

Lake Deseda – approx. 3 km
Kaposvár – approx. 12 km
Igal Thermal Spa – approx. 18 km
Lake Balaton – approx. 40 km

Nearby Lake Deseda offers excellent opportunities for relaxation, fishing, cycling and enjoying nature. Thanks to the proximity of Kaposvár, shopping, healthcare, administration and other city services are within easy reach. Igal Thermal Spa is only around 18 km away, while Lake Balaton can be reached within approximately 40 km.

Traditional character and impressive interior spaces

The property retains the character of a traditional prosperous Hungarian farmhouse/manor-style residence.

One of the most distinctive features of the house is its impressive 3.40-metre ceiling height, creating a spacious and airy atmosphere while reflecting the original character and status of the building.

Most of the interior doors and woodwork are still original, which could be particularly valuable during renovation for buyers wishing to preserve the historic atmosphere and authentic details of the house.

This property is especially suitable for buyers who are not looking for a finished, immediately move-in-ready home, but who can see the potential of a large and characterful building that can be renovated according to their own ideas.

Approx. 245 m² of living space – two connected residential units

The residential building consists of two directly connected living units, providing approximately 245 m² of total living space.

This alone offers a rare opportunity. The property could be arranged as two separate family homes, or comfortably used by one large family or as a multi-generational home.

The larger residential unit measures approximately 140 m² and includes three rooms, a kitchen, entrance hall, bathroom and WC. Heating can be provided by either a wood-fired central heating system or a wall-mounted gas boiler.

The smaller residential unit measures approximately 105 m² and offers considerable potential for buyers who wish to design the interior according to their own requirements. At present, this part of the property does not have a water supply installed, but a bathroom and WC can be created.

Each residential unit has its own cellar. Beneath the larger unit there is an approximately 25 m² cellar, mainly suitable for housing the boiler and storing firewood. Beneath the smaller unit there is a larger cellar of approximately 45 m².

The residential building also has a shared attic.

In front of the two residential units is a former continuous winter garden/enclosed entrance corridor, which is currently divided into separate sections but could potentially be opened up again with suitable alterations.

Nearly 600 m² of usable building space

Approximately 200 m² of agricultural and utility buildings are directly connected to the residential part of the property.

The property includes, among other things, two stables, two barns, two garages, a winter pantry, a smokehouse and several additional utility and agricultural rooms. With appropriate conversion, one of the garages could once again be used as a stable.

A separate building contains an approximately 25 m² grain mill/feed-processing room, together with an attached attic and two former pigsties.

There is also a separate building of approximately 35 m², as well as an older agricultural building of approximately 120 m². The latter requires substantial renovation and could either be redesigned for a new purpose or, if necessary, demolished.

An interesting feature of this building is that it already occupies an existing built-up area. Subject to the relevant planning regulations, building rules and authority approvals, this may offer additional possibilities for the future use of the site.

Together, the residential and agricultural buildings provide nearly 600 m² of potentially usable building space.

What could the property be used for?

Thanks to its size and extensive range of buildings, the property offers many possibilities. For example, it could become a home for two families, a multi-generational residence, a family farm, a smallholding suitable for keeping animals, a workshop and storage site, premises for a business, or the basis for an entirely different individual project.

Any commercial, agricultural or business use is, of course, subject to the applicable local planning, zoning, building and authority regulations for the intended activity.

Approx. 1 additional hectare of land can also be purchased

In addition to the 2,139 m² plot, approximately 1 hectare of garden, meadow and arable land may also be purchased separately.

For anyone considering farming, keeping animals or simply looking for substantially more private land, purchasing the additional land takes the potential of this property to an entirely different level.

In need of renovation – and that is where the opportunity lies

The house and agricultural buildings are not newly built and require renovation and modernisation.

For this reason, the property is particularly suitable for buyers who want to create the final result according to their own plans and preferences, rather than paying for a property already renovated by somebody else and having to compromise with their choices.

Approximately 90% of the residential building has already been cleared. Removal of the remaining contents can be subject to a separate agreement with the buyer.

A property that deserves to be seen in person

The combination of the 245 m² two-unit residence, the 2,139 m² plot, the extensive range of agricultural buildings, nearly 600 m² of usable building space, the impressive 3.40-metre ceiling height, original interior doors and other period details, together with the option to purchase approximately 1 additional hectare of land, makes this a property that is not easy to find in the area.

Its location adds further value: Lake Deseda is approx. 3 km away, Kaposvár approx. 12 km, Igal Thermal Spa approx. 18 km, and Lake Balaton approx. 40 km.

If you are looking for a property where the scale of the possibilities, the amount of space and the original character matter more than its current condition, this property is well worth viewing in person.
