divider

Welcome to the historic Zagaj homestead, a picturesque slice of Slovenian cultural heritage nestled amidst serene landscapes. Dating back to the mid-19th century, but built on foundations of a much older homestead, this sprawling estate offers an unparalleled blend of seclusion and luxury.

The estate is perfectly set up for various purposes, whether as a family estate or a tourist guesthouse / camp with a good development potential. The homestead could also be an opportunity for buyers looking to be involved in an environmentally friendly agricultural or agro-tourism activities.

 

The location of the homestead has been chosen so that it is naturally protected from the weather and so that it dominates its own land and complements the landscape. The Zagaj homestead is situated at the edge of the forest, on a picturesque terrace in the middle of the laid-out village of Zagaj, and is a typical isolated farm, forming an economically self-contained whole.  The farmstead consists of a dwelling house, a hayloft, two outbuildings and a chapel. The result is a rich homestead with beautiful buildings, among which the hayloft and one of the outbuildings are cultural monuments.

 

The restoration of all buildings has been a meticulously managed process, carefully preserving their structural integrity and distinctive characteristics. In cooperation with the Ministry of Culture, these restoration efforts have not only revitalized the historic structures but also safeguarded their legacy for future generations to cherish.

 

Additionally to the land directly surrounding the homestead (9.351m2), 33.521m2 of farming land is also included in the sale.
