luxury real estate for sale Rataje, Czechia

This exceptional country estate is located on the shore of a pond in a quiet village near the beautiful nature of Czech Siberia. The property was created by extensive and costly reconstruction of the original building - a historic building, whose origin dates back to the end of the 14th century and which in the past served as a toll booth - a place for collecting tolls, a traveling inn and a luxurious mansion for everyday living. The ancient history breathes from the original solid walls and vaults, which were preserved as much as possible during the reconstruction and are often acknowledged in the interiors, while more recent features are seen in the Renaissance reconstruction and Baroque elements. Modern technologies such as air conditioning, underfloor heating heated by heat pumps or electrically controlled elements on the pergola ensure total comfort and convenience in line with current standards. In the main building there is a large living space for the owner, a guest apartment with its own outdoor entrance accessible also through the conservatory and a spacious garage with three garage doors that can accommodate up to 4 cars. If required, there is also a large attic space with a total area of 267 m2. The dominant feature of the living space is the huge and luminous living room with a unique historical atmosphere created by the historic arches, windows set into the massive walls and fireplace. This is followed by a spacious kitchen with a dining area, where the original bricks are added to the vaults for a change, giving the whole room a cosy and homely feel. The spacious pantry is also practical, with constant temperature access from both sides - it is handy from both the kitchen and the main outside entrance. For larger gatherings, there is a large dining room with a wooden bar and an adjoining storage room. Of course, there are adequate facilities - bathroom, hallway with ample storage, cleaning room with laundry and guest toilet. A little mysterious is the original cellar, converted into a wine cellar with facilities - a small kitchen and toilet. The guest apartment on the ground floor has its own kitchen connected to the living room, bedroom, bathroom and two toilets. The heart of the second floor, which is reached by a massive wooden staircase, is undoubtedly the generous, fully air-conditioned double suite: it has its own dressing room, a beautiful bedroom with access to a balcony from which it is possible to enjoy the view of the adjacent pond.

Czech Republic Sotheby’s International Realty is pleased to present a charming countryside estate set in the picturesque landscape of the Žďárské vrchy protected area. Originally consisting of two traditional rural cottages with a barn and enclosed courtyard, the property has undergone a complete yet sensitive renovation, combining premium natural materials with modern technologies. The result is an exceptional home that unites rustic authenticity with contemporary design and provides the highest level of comfort. While perfectly suited for permanent living or as a private retreat, the estate also offers strong potential for commercial use, such as short-term rentals, workshops, smaller events, or retreats. At the heart of the property lies a spacious living room on the ground floor of one of the cottages, featuring a fully equipped modern kitchen, dining area, and wood-burning stove. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors flood the space with natural light and open directly onto the grassy courtyard, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living, especially in the summer months. The ground floor further includes a generous bathroom with bathtub, a utility room, and a staircase leading both to a practical cellar and to the upper level. Here, two large bedrooms of over 30 sq. m each boast open lofted ceilings with exposed beams, creating an airy and bright atmosphere. Distinctive details such as original wooden wall panels, large-format tiles, hardwood floors, a fireplace, or freestanding bathtub elevate the interiors and lend them a refined yet cozy character. An additional guest bedroom and bathroom complete the upper floor. The second cottage captivates with its luxurious private wellness area, equipped with a Finnish sauna and whirlpool. A spacious relaxation room with stone cladding and large-format tiles opens directly onto a terrace with an outdoor lounge and plunge pool – an ideal setting for year-round relaxation. This part of the property also includes a technical room, cloakroom, and entrance hall with a stylish staircase leading upstairs, where two separate bedrooms share a large bathroom with toilet. Completing the estate is the original barn: its ground floor serves as a practical storage space and summer kitchen, while the upper level offers a generous open hall, perfectly suited for yoga sessions or intimate social gatherings.
