Layout
You enter the estate through an automatic wrought-iron gate and a driveway 25 meters long.
The building is divided into two parts: the main building of 230 m² and a separate dwelling of 80 m² (formerly the caretaker's flat, currently empty).
The dwelling consists of 3 rooms, a bathroom and a kitchen/dining area.
The main building has 2 entrances: from the front terrace and from the back terrace.
The entrance to the separate dwelling is from the front terrace. The main house and this separate dwelling can be joined by a simple conversion.
Main house: 230m²
From the front terrace, after a small entrance hall, you enter the long corridor leading to the living room and 4 bedrooms, 2 of which have en-suite bathrooms. From the corridor, the rooms open to the right and left. In total, the rooms can accommodate 8-12 people.
The first two rooms and associated bathroom
The first two rooms open onto the corridor on the right. The largest room has 2 double beds, built-in wardrobes and antique wardrobes.
The smaller room has 2 single beds, built-in wardrobes and antique wardrobes.
On the other side of the corridor is a bathroom: 2 sinks, shower, toilet.
Ensuite room at the front

Ensuite bedroom at the back
This room has an extra-large wrought-iron double bed, antique wardrobe and bedside table. The ensuite bathroom has a toilet, a bidet, a sink and a shower.
Living room
The Tuscan style is perhaps strongest here: the built-in fireplace, beautiful paintings and antique furniture create a pleasant atmosphere.
Dining room
The dining room is adjacent to the living room. The extendable dining table comfortably and generously seats 12 people, with 12 wrought-iron chairs and two sideboards. The sideboards feature antique cutlery and glassware.
Serving kitchen
The serving kitchen extends from the dining room and overlooks the garden. It is ideal for small kitchen tasks, serving, as well as cooking, as it has a built-in microwave, dishwasher, gas cooker, oven, sink.
Terrace and front garden
From the dining room, you access the rear terrace, where six mosaic-inlaid chairs surround the wrought-iron round table.
Pool
In the front garden, hidden by the thick yellow stone fence, is the 12-metre pool with garden shower and sun loungers. Thanks to its layout and cover, the pool can be enjoyed from May to the end of September. The cover is high enough for swimming in the enclosed pool.
Wine cellar
There are two cellars under the building. The cellar under the separate house serves as a utility/storage room. The cellar under the main house serves as a cosy wine cellar.
Backyard
Well-maintained, landscaped grounds with young (2-10 years old) and many mature (over 100 years old) ornamental trees.
Walnut, hazelnut, apple and cherry trees have been planted here. The 1.8-hectare estate is completely surrounded by a fence.
Garage and outbuildings
The garage is equipped with an automatic door and has two parking spaces. On either side of the garage is a utility room.
On the right side, there is a (heatable) utility room (outdoor kitchen) for homesteaders - with a washing machine, dryer, and a fully equipped kitchen (dishwasher, electric hob and oven, microwave, extractor hood, fridge/freezer, built-in upper and lower cabinets).
To the left of the garage is a "utility room". Next to the garage there is covered parking for 3 cars
Garden sheds
A large wooden storage shed - currently used for larger garden equipment and for firewood, but once used as a horse stable.
There is also an enclosed kennel with 2 dog enclosures.
The back of the garage houses a small shed for garden tools.
Behind the garage is also the large greenhouse, which provides residents with fresh vegetables in summer.
Surroundings
Goszthonyi Hunting Lodge is located in Nagypuszta, near Kaposvár (medium-sized town), in Somogy County.
In the interior of Somogyland, the forested Zselic, with an area of about 1,200 square kilometres, offers a wealth of experiences in its hills and valleys. Nature trails and cycle paths lead us into the world of beech and silver beech, golden otters make the day golden and the stars of the brightest sky in the country sweep us off our feet - and that's not all.
The Zselic is full of countless beautiful lakes, such as the Ropolyi, Deseda and Aleman lakes.
The Zselic Landscape Conservation Area is home to the Zselic Star Park, the first in Europe to win the International Stargazing Park title in 2009.
Bőszénfa Deer Farm: The 1,300-hectare game farm is open to visitors all year round. Almost 2,000 big game animals are on display: wild boar, many species of deer - all residents of the farm.
Kaposvár is a town in Hungary. Located on the Kapos River, 54 km south of Lake Balaton, it offers theatres, restaurants, museums and a beautiful thermal bath.
Sports opportunities: hunting, golf, tennis, hiking, sailing
The Somogy district is rich in romantic cottages open to visitors.
Eight km from the Goszthonyi hunting lodge is the Hencse Gold Country Club. The Hencse Golf and Country Club was opened in 1994 and is located in a particularly beautiful mountainous setting. This 18-hole 6267-metre golf course, set in 90 hectares of nature reserve, has gained international recognition worldwide. Visitors come mainly from Austria, Germany and Finland, but there are also frequent visitors from the US and Japan. The course is dotted with beautiful lakes and ancient trees, and the rolling terrain offers an exciting challenge for the more adventurous golfer.
Lake Balaton is 30 km from the Goszthonyi Hunting Lodge, with various water sports available.

- Cheap labour to maintain the estate.
- The area is quiet and calm, but there are many opportunities for active relaxation.
- The beautiful, mostly dry weather lasts from April-May to mid/late October.
