An Exceptional Historical Residence Near Prague

Czech Republic Sotheby’s International Realty exclusively offers for sale a unique countryside estate, created through the meticulous and comprehensive renovation of a historic Baroque property. Behind the traditional façade of rural Baroque architecture and stone walls lies an exceptional property suitable as premium and distinctive living, a weekend retreat away from the city, or a venue for private events tailored to the most demanding clientele. The lower floor has been carefully restored to preserve its unmistakable historic genius loci, while the upper floor has been sensitively designed in a modern minimalist style that respects the character of the estate. The spacious courtyard features a generous outdoor kitchen with full facilities, while the atmosphere is completed by a castle-style garden. Hidden among surrounding forests, the estate offers complete privacy and tranquility.

History can be felt in every detail of the ground floor – stone portals, replicas of historic doors and windows, hand-forged metal grilles, and impressive Baroque vaults all emphasize the exceptional character of the property. The heart of the home is a spacious nearly 130 sqm grand social hall, ideal for larger gatherings or private events, comfortably accommodating dozens of guests. One side is dominated by a traditional fireplace stove, while the opposite side features a striking minimalist concrete staircase. Adjacent to the main hall is a dining room with fireplace and a spacious kitchen with a central island and Smeg appliances.

The upper floor embraces a more contemporary aesthetic, where refined modern design blends seamlessly with original historical features. There are two elegant master suites, positioned on opposite wings of the building to ensure maximum privacy. Each bedroom includes its own en-suite bathroom, while the primary suite also features a freestanding bathtub and steam sauna. The second bedroom provides direct access to a sunlit terrace overlooking the estate and surrounding forests. Additional spaces include a lounge area, a study/library, and a gallery suitable as a workspace or home gym. The terrace also leads to a fully equipped guest apartment with its own kitchen, living room, and bathroom.

At the center of the courtyard stands the reconstructed former bakery, transformed into a stylish country-style outdoor kitchen complete with an authentic Spanish pizza oven, grill, and gas stove. It opens onto a shaded terrace designed for al fresco dining with an outdoor fireplace. A brick gate then leads into the ornamental castle-style garden.

Only the finest materials, authentic historical elements, and advanced modern technologies were used throughout the renovation to ensure the highest level of comfort. Floors are crafted from travertine, Cotto Etrusco tiles, and solid wood. Windows feature insulating triple glazing and traditional casement replicas. All furniture is custom-made from solid wood, while the kitchen countertop is crafted from Italian walnut. The estate is equipped with an intelligent Salus system, cascade heat pumps, Jablotron security system, and Starlink internet connection. Sustainability was also prioritized through rainwater utilization and a hot water circulation system.
