In the peaceful, nature-surrounded village of Lakócsa – located near the Drava River, in the southwestern part of Somogy County – we offer for sale a unique, 64 m² brick-built, completely renovated, self-sustaining family home. This property offers the perfect harmony of rural tranquility and excellent accessibility – it is not only a home but also a gateway to the authentic Hungarian countryside and the sunny landscapes of Croatia.
Location: The village lies in the immediate vicinity of the Duna–Drava National Park, surrounded by forests, green meadows, and the picturesque Drava River, which also forms the natural border with Croatia. Lakócsa is situated at the foot of the hilly region of Southern Hungary, offering both idyllic rural atmosphere and a stunning natural environment. The village provides everything needed for everyday life – a small shop, an elementary school, and regular community events and village festivals.
Accessibility: One of Lakócsa’s main advantages is its proximity to the nearby border town of Barcs, located only about 25 kilometers away. With over 10,000 inhabitants, Barcs is known as the “capital of the Drava,” has held official city status since 1979, and serves as the regional center with its shopping, services, and leisure opportunities. Here you will find modern stores, supermarkets, pharmacies, and the famous Barcs Thermal Spa, offering thermal pools and wellness services. Barcs lies directly on the banks of the Drava and is also known for its rich multicultural history.
Plot: The 4,152 m² plot is a true paradise for lovers of nature and self-sufficiency. In the yard there is a 47 m² greenhouse, where it is possible to grow vegetables or plants all year round. Two outbuildings, small stables, and two covered carports (with sun and hail protection) also belong to the property. The garden features various fruit trees – fig, persimmon, nectarine – and about one hundred Paulownia trees, which can be harvested every 2–3 years, ensuring a supply of firewood. On the open part of the land, there is also space to plant about four hundred additional trees. The owner can, if desired, leave the equipment, furniture, and tools currently in the house, making the property immediately suitable for self-sufficient living.
Property features: Between 2022 and 2025, the house underwent a complete and high-quality renovation. The solid brick building, originally built in the 1960s, with its 64 m² floor area, offers a bright, cozy, and homely atmosphere. The layout is practical: in addition to the living room and bedroom, there is a charming kitchen, pantry, bathroom, and an entrance hall, which currently also serves as a small kitchen area. During the renovation, new insulated double-glazed plastic windows were installed, the walls received moisture protection, and the rooms were freshly painted and covered with modern, high-quality laminate flooring.
Utilities: The property is connected to the water supply and electricity networks; wastewater is handled via a septic tank. Gas connection is not available.
Heating: Heating and cooling are provided by three modern, energy-efficient air conditioning units with heating and cooling function, as well as a 7 kW Swedish-type wood-burning stove. The property’s energy supply is completely independent: a 7 kW solar panel system operates on the plot, connected to a 15 kWh battery storage unit. This system covers the house’s entire energy demand – including heating and air conditioning – thus allowing fully independent, autarkic living. It is an ideal choice for those who aim for a self-sufficient and sustainable lifestyle in the long term.
This property is a true rarity on the market – renovated, modern, self-sustaining, yet a cozy rural home.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to become the owner of such a charming property!
