C I T Y C A R T E L INTERNATIONAL LUXURY REAL ESTATE AGENCY presents: A fairytale-like, historic castle for sale in Bács-Kiskun county – on a 56-hectare estate, near Kecskemét – ONLY IN THE OFFER OF OUR OFFICE - In Bács-Kiskun county, only about half an hour's drive from Kecskemét, we offer for sale a truly exceptional, historically significant, romantic castle, which is deservedly considered one of the greatest sights of the settlement. The central element of the property complex with a stunning atmosphere located on an estate of about 56 hectares is a 776 sqm, 3-storey castle, which is not only special from an architectural point of view, but also offers extraordinary opportunities for business, tourism and representational purposes. The property can be an ideal choice for those looking for an exclusive private residence, boutique hotel, wedding and event venue, wellness or catering center, or a heritage-based prestige investment. History, character, noble heritage The castle was built by one of the oldest Hungarian noble families, which in itself gives the property a special historical status. The oldest part of the building is the vaulted hall on the ground floor, built in the second half of the 1700s, which is still one of the most characteristic and valuable parts of the castle. Later, a much more complex, representative castle building was formed around this historical core. The date of the reconstruction and expansion is indicated by the year 1873 carved into the wall of the ground-floor corridor. This is when the first floor was completed, the towers that define the unique atmosphere of the castle were built, as well as the characteristic double-winged door with a dome, which give the property a romantic, almost fairytale-like appearance. The building has undergone several reconstructions during its history. Among these, the reconstruction of 1920 stands out, during which the former entrance tower with an onion helmet was replaced by two semicircular staircases, and new entrance doors were built on both sides of the new tower. All this further strengthened the special, representative character of the building. Renovated, operated, usable castle The castle has received careful attention in the past decades as well: at the end of 2000 and then in 2010, a significant renovation took place. During the modernization in 2010, the following were created: 9 guest rooms, a huge salon, a card room, 2 private rooms used by the owners, a large restaurant on the ground floor, a terrace and a serious industrial kitchen in front of it, a cozy wine cellar, an outdoor swimming pool, a bathhouse by the lake, and a mini fitness room. As a result, the property not only represents historical value, but is also a castle complex suitable for operation and with complex utilization potential. The castle used to operate as a hotel, and due to its unique, romantic atmosphere, it was also known as a particularly popular wedding and event venue. This historical function clearly shows that the property not only has aesthetic and emotional value, but is also economically relevant, can be repositioned and further developed for premium hospitality. The main building – 776 sqm elegance, historical details and special spaces The main building of the castle has 3 floors, with a total floor area of 776 sqm, and the plot directly belonging to it is 6107 sqm. The interiors are particularly proportional and imposing, with a ceiling height ranging from 2.7 to 4 metres, which further enhances the elegance and representative effect of the interiors. In addition to the representative communal areas, there are 11 bedrooms in the main building. 3 of the guest rooms are furnished with period furniture, thus conveying an authentic castle atmosphere, while 6 rooms are individually furnished, which creates a varied, characteristic interior world. Special mention should be made of the cozy, authentic knights' hall established in the oldest part of the castle, where a Hungarian restaurant used to operate. This space is of great value in itself, as it is perfectly suitable for exclusive dinners, weddings, corporate events, wine tastings, hunting dinners or private events. Wellness and outdoor experience – in the service of a premium quality of life On the estate and in connection with the main building, you can find: cozy lake, lakeside bathhouse, jacuzzi, infrared sauna, solarium, outdoor heated pool, automatic irrigation system, electric gate, camera system. These extras not only increase the comfort of private use, but also clearly strengthen the utilization of the property for wellness, boutique hospitality and event purposes. In the case of a castle of this level, it is a particularly great value that in addition to the historical milieu, there are also comfort functions that meet today's expectations. Second building on the plot – additional function, staff or guest house option The property complex also includes another single-storey, brick-built building built in 1950, which is located on a separate plot. Its data: plot area: 3596 sqm , building size: 100 sqm , rooms: 2 rooms, kitchen with dining area, bathroom, toilet. This second building can be perfectly suitable for use as a staff apartment, guest house, management building, service apartment or even as a separate apartment unit. For a large estate and with such a complex function, this additional building provides serious operational flexibility. 56 hectares of exceptional opportunities – diversified utilisation on a single estate One of the greatest strategic values of the castle is not only the imposing main building itself, but also the associated land of about 56 hectares, which represents an extremely rare scale. An estate of this size carries independent economic, touristic and lifestyle-based potential. The special advantage of an area of this size is that the future owner is forced to think not in a single function, but in several mutually reinforcing directions of utilization. This diversification is particularly valuable, as it simultaneously increases the value retention of the estate and its ability to generate long-term income. The estate can provide an excellent basis for the further development of an exclusive castle hotel and event venue, where, in addition to the representative role of the main building, the surrounding land can provide a private, undisturbed, high-prestige environment. An area of this size can be ideal for weddings, corporate, protocol and lifestyle events, outdoor programs, seasonal events or multi-day retreats. The 56-hectare estate can also carry significant potential for tourism and recreational concepts. The romantic character of the castle, the lake, the bathhouse and the close-to-nature milieu together create a complex experience base on which a premium wellness retreat, boutique countryside concept, private club-like operation or experience-based hospitality can be built. Due to the size of the estate, additional agricultural or estate-type utilization may also arise on the merits. Such an area may be suitable for the development of a landscaped castle environment, ornamental garden and landscape architecture, a model economy or an agricultural premium concept, as well as an equestrian, leisure or close-to-nature lifestyle project, if applicable. This type of multi-legged thinking can be a serious competitive advantage, as the owner not only maintains a beautiful listed property, but can also build a well-positioned estate portfolio that can be interpreted in several functions. From an investor's point of view, diversified utilization is particularly attractive because the combination of the castle and the land allows for several visions: private residence and representative family estate, catering and event business, tourism development, and prestige-based, long-term value-preserving investment are all conceivable. This flexibility is an outstanding value for a property in this category. It should be emphasized that such a large plot of land is a strong position: its rarity, its contiguous character, its direct connection to the castle and the historical environment together form a special combination. Of course, the specific development and utilization possibilities must always be examined depending on the local building regulations, zoning classification, monument regulations, land traffic regulations and any official permits. However, this is what gives the estate its real value: it offers a grandiose foundation in which historical elegance and conscious, multi-pillar future use can meet exceptionally well. This 56-hectare area is not only an accompaniment to the castle, but also one of its strongest business and strategic assets. Technical content and utilities The heating of the castle is provided by a modern and multi-legged system: gas boiler, underfloor heating, fan-coil system, heat pump. Utilities: gas, electricity, industrial electricity, water, clarifier. Who is this property ideal for? This castle can be an exceptional opportunity: for private investors looking for a unique, timeless and prestigious property, for hotel or catering operators who are thinking of a boutique hotel, castle hotel or exclusive event venue, for investors thinking about the wedding and event planning market, for buyers looking for a family estate or a representative residence, and for all those who care about historical value, architectural character and future utilization co-presence of potential . In the case of this type of castle, the value does not come only from the floor area or the size of the plot, but from the rare combination that the combination of past, atmosphere, identity, utilization and representational power provides. This property represents exactly this category. Important legal and purchasing information The property is a monument, so the future owner must comply with the regulations and regulations pertaining to it. On the one hand, this is a responsibility, and on the other hand, it is also a serious guarantee of value protection, as it ensures the long-term preservation of the castle's character and historical significance. Another important circumstance is that the land around the castle plot must be posted and can be purchased by a Hungarian citizen or an EU citizen with agricultural rights. If you are looking for a property that: has a history and heritage, can be interpreted from a business point of view, carries real prestige value, and which appears as a rare opportunity near Kecskemét, in Bács-Kiskun County, then this castle is worth getting to know in person.
