112 Hectare Private Estate With Private Lake At The Foot Of The Mátra

Nestled on the southern slopes of the Mátra Mountains, across the administrative areas of Ecséd and Szűcsi, this exceptional 112 acres private estate offers a rare combination of natural beauty, complete privacy, substantial infrastructure and long-term development potential.
At the heart of the estate lies the 30 acres Ecsédi-vég Lake, extending approximately 2.5 km. Fed by nine natural springs and filtered through natural coal formations, the lake has exceptionally clear water, with quality approaching drinking-water standards. Its average depth is approximately 15 metres, reaching up to 30 metres at its deepest point. The lake also has a registered individual fishing right.
The estate is recorded as a non-agricultural property (in Hungarian: „kivett”) offering significant development potential without the need for preliminary land reclassification. Based on current planning regulations, certain areas allow for 15% and up to 30% development intensity, subject to the applicable planning and permitting requirements.

Whether envisioned as a private estate, a luxury nature retreat or a forward-looking regenerative development, this property represents a rare opportunity to create a lasting project in one of Hungary’s most attractive natural settings.
