In Nógrád County, 85 km away from Budapest at the foothills of the Mátra mountains, stands a beautifully reconstructed classicist-style castle, originally built in the early 1800s, seeking its future owner.
The castle spans 850 square meters, featuring a marvelous vaulted wine cellar beneath. Throughout its reconstruction, the current owners spared no effort in restoring its original splendor, preserving the minutiae of the past while seamlessly integrating modern expectations of today’s era.
Completed in the summer of 2021, the main castle and guesthouse underwent continuous expansions thereafter. In 2022-23, enhancements included the castle grounds, entrance gate, fencing, and in 2023, the addition of a garden kitchen, fountains, rear warehouse, and storage facilities.
The guesthouse (or smaller castle) encompasses around 180 square meters, comprising a large living area, dining space, kitchen, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms.
Beneath the smaller castle lies a spacious cellar accommodating the property’s water installations, adjacent to a large storage area. Additionally, a separate 150-square-meter warehouse is nestled into the upper part of the estate’s hillside.
The garage offers space for three vehicles, along with an expansive driveway.
Geothermal heating, custom external and internal joineries crafted by Hungary’s finest woodworking company, exquisite Italian floorings, including Italian tiles in communal areas, bedrooms, and a display kitchen. There are two tile stoves, an original restored fireplace, silk wallpapers in bedrooms. Each bedroom and its corresponding bathroom exude different colors and atmospheres. Equipped with fitness machines, a sauna (under construction), cigar/game room, professional alarm, and camera systems. Original antique items and crystal chandeliers embellish the space.
The estate spans across 12 hectares, entirely enclosed, with a 2-hectare landscaped garden surrounding the castle.
This enchanting castle is a genuine curiosity, constructed as a private castle with the most refined materials and technical solutions.
The region encompasses Hungary’s most diverse natural and wildlife-rich areas. The locality boasts historical landmarks and heritage sites, showcasing the beauty of nature, playful hills and mountains, and adorned buildings like the veranda-decorated peasant houses, all of which visitors to this area can relish.
Nearby lies the Mátra, with the country’s highest point, Kékestető, offering skiing in winter and hiking opportunities in summer. From here, there’s an unparalleled view of the surrounding landscapes and the High Tatras. The Mátra Landscape Protection Area, Parádsasvár, Hollókő with its old village and Hollókő Castle, and the unique natural beauty of Apc’s ”tengerszem” (lake) all contribute to the region’s allure.
