Exciting, unique, 5.8 ha (approximately 15 acres) property located between two branches of the permanent Sed patak (Shaid stream). The property is only 30 km from the famous tourist and health center of Balatonfured—consequently from the “Hungarian sea” of Lake Balaton. Also close by is the world famous Herend Porcelain Works.
The unique attraction of the large property is a converted water mill, originally built in 1854, which was turned residential in 2009. The thorough renovation kept the landmark features of the old building, while providing luxury accommodations between the traditional thick walls.
In the 300m2 (almost 3000 sqft) two-tory building there are two apartments: a four-room and a two-room for guests. The finishing of the attic is in a starting phase.
The beautiful and healthy home is not only environmentally friendly, low maintenance but also independent of service providers—in other words, it’s free living! Free electricity is provided by the water-mill generator and the solar panels on the roof. Clean drinking water comes from a deep well, fire wood for heating is from the 0.8 ha private forest. Besides central heating, there is a wood burning tile stove and an open fireplace as well.
The nearly 4.5 ha good quality arable field presently used as pasture for goats. The main house, yard, farm building, vegetable garden and two small ponds occupy a 6,100 m2 area. The current water permit for the mill and a possible future fishpond on the present pasture area is valid until 2028. The adjacent area to the property is also for sale.
The 5.8 ha property is in Herend, 15 km from Veszprém, 30 km from Balatonfüred and 120 km from Budapest.
Asking price: € 500,000.
