Description
This romantic, Neo-Renaissance-style mansion, built in 1905 at the turn of the century, enjoys a peaceful rural setting just a short distance from Budapest. Its exterior reflects the refined elegance of castles once found in the “Hungarian Highlands” (now part of Slovakia) during the late Renaissance. In contrast, the interior evokes the luxurious lifestyle of the Baroque period, offering both opulence and comfort. Ongoing restoration work, which began in 1997, has focused on preserving the building’s architectural harmony while seamlessly integrating 21st-century technologies. The main residence spans four floors and approximately 3,256 m², nestled within an estate of about 6 hectares. The private living areas include lavish king-sized suites, grand saloons, and expansive terraces. The adjacent wing houses service apartments, office space, a fitness area, and a luxurious spa oasis. Below, a full-size cellar accommodates a wine cellar, storage and technical rooms. A stable beside the main building provides facilities for up to 8 horses. The interiors showcase aristocratic elegance, highlighted by premium materials and craftsmanship: Breccia Sarda and Verde Guatemala marble finishes, handwoven Sangiorgio silk wall coverings, mahogany paneling, and bespoke lighting fixtures by Moscatelli and Mathieu. Bathrooms are fitted with high-end elements from Laufen, Axor Carlton, and Hansgrohe. The mansion is sold with its full furnishings, including the distinguished Mihály Schérer collection of 90 pieces, valued at HUF 82 million. A 50 kW solar generator supplies electricity, while heating and hot water come from four 60 kW wood gasification boilers. Additionally, a 500 kW solar power plant — currently under development and valued at HUF 265 million — is also part of the estate.
