About the property

Keszthely, Festetics György Road 18

The property at Festetics György út 18 comprises 176 sqm across two independent units: a 100 sqm ground-floor and a 76 sqm upper-floor apartment, with six rooms in total and a 16 sqm terrace. Built in 1935 and renovated in 2018, the house sits on a 902 sqm plot registered as a residential building with courtyard and farm building, surrounded by a maintained garden.

Keszthely is the western gateway to Lake Balaton: Festetics Palace, Helikon Park, the town beaches and the lakeshore are a short walk or cycle away. The dual-unit structure allows whole-house premium holiday letting, seasonal operation as two separate apartments, or longer year-round tenancies.

The house currently serves as a family holiday home, so the form and timing of any letting is a matter of individual agreement. For group, multi-generational or corporate needs the two floors can be rented separately or together.
