Château St. Vojtech, Vysocina Pocátky Id : 1010

Sotheby’s International Realty Czech Republic is proud to exclusively present for sale the exceptional Château of Saint Vojtech-a noble historic residence nestled in the picturesque landscape of the Vysočina region, with origins dating back to the 16th century.

This unique estate is set on a private plot of over 70,000 sqm, ensuring absolute peace and privacy. The extensive grounds include, among other features, a private game preserve, a tennis court, and a private heliport. The total usable area amounts to 3,200 sqm, with the main building offering 1,200 sqm and accommodation in thirteen fully equipped and elegantly furnished rooms and suites.

The main structure is a three-storey residence with a central section and two wings. The ground floor comprises a grand entrance hall, reception area, spacious banquet hall, and a restaurant with professional kitchen facilities. The first floor houses a bridal suite, library, and guest rooms. The second floor offers additional themed rooms and refined suites.

Connected to the main building is the eastern wing, formerly used as a museum. Today, it presents significant potential for further development such as expanding the wellness area with a pool, increasing the accommodation capacity, or creating garages with direct access to the main residence. The entire estate is connected to public utilities and is heated by an efficient automatic coal boiler. Water supply is provided by a private well 58 meters deep, with a daily capacity of up to 10,000 liters. The well draws water from a blind branch of the spring of Saint Vojtech.

One of the spring’s arms naturally flows toward the château, endowing the place with unique spiritual symbolism. In front of the main entrance, a fountain with a stone balustrade leads into a pathway lined with resting spots and a gazebo, extending into the adjacent park. Here stands a restored statue of Saint Vojtech, after whom the entire estate is named. The château’s interiors are furnished with original antique furniture and curated artworks that evoke the authentic ambiance of interwar elegance.

As the property is not heritage-protected, it offers a rare level of flexibility for future sensitive modifications in line with the new owner’s vision. Château Saint Vojtech thus presents a compelling opportunity for establishing a private representative residence, a luxurious boutique hotel, or an exclusive venue for weddings, cultural gatherings, and corporate events.

The past of this place adds depth and meaning to its present day elegance.

Its story begins in 1562, when a watermill later known as Turk’s Mill was built on this site. In 1880, it was converted into a noble countryside residence and later served as a sawmill and textile workshop. During the nationalization era of the 20th century, it was taken into state ownership. After 1990, it was returned to the heirs of the original owners. In 2008, the then-abandoned property was acquired by a new owner, who began a comprehensive and sensitive restoration that lasted until 2014 and revived the château’s former grandeur. Since 2016, Château Saint Vojtech has served as a luxury hotel that blends First Republic charm with a palpable sense of history.

And it is right here, in Počátky (a Czech name that literally means “new beginnings”), where the new owner is offered the opportunity to continue the story and give this exceptional estate a new beginning.
