Rare opportunity on the shores of Lake Balaton: The iconic 'Mermaid' restaurant by Imre Makovecz is for sale in Balatonszepezd!
We are offering for sale one of the earliest and most characteristic creations of the world-renowned master of Hungarian organic architecture, Imre Makovecz. The “Sellő” restaurant (later known as Sellő Büfé) in Balatonszepezd is not just a property, but a defining piece of the architectural heritage of the Balaton Highlands. Key features of the property: Designer: Imre Makovecz (designed: 1963-1964). Style: Early organic modernism. The building brilliantly combines modern forms with local natural materials (basalt stone, wood). Location: In the central part of Balatonszepezd, next to the main road 71, with direct views of Lake Balaton. It has excellent visibility and accessibility. Character: The building's curved, dynamic roof structure and the basalt stone façade characteristic of the Badacsony area provide a unique aesthetic experience. Why is this an excellent investment? Cultural heritage value: Imre Makovecz’s early works (such as the wine cellars in Cák or the restaurant in Berhida) are now considered cult status. Owning such a building carries prestige. Versatile utilization: Due to the building's attributes, it is suitable for an exclusive restaurant, a show kitchen, an art gallery, a showroom, or a special “boutique” café. Cultural tourism: The proximity to the Káli Basin and the rise of quality tourism make the building suitable to become a gastronomic pilgrimage site. Condition: The building is in need of renovation but is structurally stable. During the renovation, there is an opportunity for rehabilitation according to the original Makovecz plans, which significantly increases the long-term value of the property. Become the caretaker of one of Lake Balaton's most unique architectural treasures! The property has been partially converted for residential/vacation use and is comfortably usable in its current state. Lake Balaton is just a reach away from the terrace.
