For sale by owner: a unique thatched farmhouse in Vöröstó, with a large plot and several hundred square metres of outbuildings

A rare and characterful thatched farmhouse is for sale in Vöröstó, directly opposite the village church. The house was built around the middle of the 19th century and stands on an approximately one-hectare plot, with several hundred square metres of additional outbuildings.

The main house is approximately 200 m²:
the ground floor is around 100 m², and the converted attic is also around 100 m².

On the ground floor there is a bedroom, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen and additional service/storage areas.

The converted attic includes three rooms, two bathrooms and a separate kitchen. This makes the house suitable for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or even as two separate living units.

The thatched main building is well maintained and has an authentic rural farmhouse atmosphere. The interior is traditional and somewhat old-fashioned, but this gives the property much of its special character. One of the most beautiful features of the house is a very old, authentic masonry stove, which is not only decorative but can also be used for baking, cooking and heating. The house also has gas heating, so both traditional wood heating and a more modern heating system are available.

The property includes several large outbuildings, with a total floor area of several hundred square metres. These are currently used partly as garages, workshops, firewood storage, tractor storage and general storage spaces. There are several garages, larger agricultural buildings, and parts originally designed for equestrian or stable use. The outbuildings are not fully completed, so we especially recommend viewing them in person, as their full potential is difficult to appreciate from photos or floor plans alone.

The location is particularly attractive: Vöröstó is a small, quiet Swabian village with only around 50 houses. It is a peaceful one-street village, yet very well located between the Pécsely Basin and Nagyvázsony. Balatonfüred and Tihany are only about 20 minutes away by car, and the most beautiful parts of the Balaton Uplands — including Nagyvázsony, Vászoly, Kapolcs and the surrounding hiking areas — are also nearby.

This property is ideal for buyers who are not looking for an ordinary house, but for a historic estate with character and serious potential. It could be an excellent choice for a large family, several generations, a group of friends, or even multiple families who would like to live on one shared estate while creating separate living spaces.

Thanks to the large plot, the size of the main building, the attic with its own kitchen and bathrooms, and the extensive outbuildings, the property also offers strong potential for use as a guesthouse, small pension, boutique accommodation, creative retreat, countryside hideaway or equestrian/tourism-related development — with the necessary investment.

This is a rare Balaton Uplands estate with history, atmosphere and exceptional potential: a peaceful village setting, yet close to Lake Balaton, Tihany and Balatonfüred.
