Stunning 100 year old wine estate that was lovingly renovated into a first class country house

This 12 acres estate includes a large villa with an oak barn to complete the rural picture. It is set in 14 acres of winding vines, still used to produce local white wines of regional repute. The nearest town is Ptuj, the oldest city in Slovenia that was first recorded as a Roman settlement. This small and picturesque town is only 10 minutes drive away, handy for sightseeing as well as shopping.

The double panoramic doors lead out to a furnished south facing decking area of 25sqm straddling over the vine terraces below. Wooden balconies run around the first floor offering exquisite views.

This is a luxury property brimming with Central European character. Entering through the double oak doors into the vast living area exposes the airy 60 sq m. living room that remains of double height with a wooden staircase hugging its edge and leading to a minstrel’s gallery.

With a mixture of original features, antique furniture and modern technology, this comfortable home can easily accommodate 2 families. The closest neighbour is 500m away, the nearest supermarket 5 minutes drive away.

Swimming and Trekking in the Alps: There are a number of spas/outdoor swimming pools in Slovenia. The nearest is Terme Ptuj (15min drive), which boasts the tallest water slides in Slovenia. It is a great place for children and adults alike. Details of many other spas are given in the tourists guides provided in Hisa Vina. Slovenia is well known for its beautiful mountains and endless trekking routes. Those who like dramatic Alpine scenery could venture to Pohorje, Savinjska dolina, or the Kamniske Alps. Even more dramatic are the Julian Alps and the valley of Trenta in the north west of Slovenia. Those who prefer gentler rolling hills and wine-growing areas can explore the immediate surroundings of Haloze hills. See the guides and maps provided in Hisa Vina for specific details. A comprehensive list of recommended restaurants in the wider area is available at the property.
