Elegant 18th-Century Estate in the Heart of Western Hungary – Rich in History and Literary Heritage
Nestled along the scenic Köris stream, in the peaceful village of Uraiújfalu on the Sopron–Vas Plain, this stunning 18th-century manor house is located in the heart of the settlement, offering tranquility and charm in equal measure. Originally built in the 1700s and later remodeled in the early 19th century in neoclassical style, the property reflects centuries of history. Although its original architectural ornamentation was sadly lost during nationalization, the estate has since been thoughtfully restored by its current owners.
Just a 15-minute drive from the renowned Sárvár Spa & Wellness—a major thermal resort in Hungary—this estate offers the rare combination of cultural depth and access to world-class relaxation and health tourism.
This extraordinary residence also bears literary significance: according to historical and literary research, Sándor Petőfi—the iconic Hungarian poet—attended several evening gatherings here, and even composed poetry beneath a majestic chestnut tree that once graced the garden. Although the tree was removed roughly a decade ago due to age and decay, its cultural legacy remains part of the estate’s unique story.
The current owners envisioned the property as a sanctuary for their extended family—an elegant retreat where loved ones could gather and celebrate shared moments. Set on a fully enclosed 2,885 m² plot, the manor comprises three levels, with a net interior area of 450 m² (gross 587 m²), and includes numerous rooms and auxiliary buildings such as a double garage, tool sheds, and a summer house.
