Description
This is a stunning 100 year old wine estate that was lovingly renovated in 2008 into a first class country house. This twelve acres estate includes a large villa with an oak barn to complete the rural picture. This is a luxury property brimming with Central European character. It is set in fourteen acres of winding vines, still used to produce local white wines of regional repute. Entering through the double oak doors into the vast living area exposes the airy 60msq living room that remains of double height with a wooden staircase hugging its edge and leading to a minstrel’s gallery. 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. With a mixture of original features, antique furniture and modern technology, this comfortable home can easily accommodate two families. The closest neighbor is 500m away, the nearest supermarket 5 minutes drive away
Hisa Vina is a stunning country residence nestling in the wine-growing Haloze hills. It is the perfect location for either relaxing in the lap of semi-remote luxury or exploring the surrounding areas of natural beauty within Slovenia or its neighbors Austria, Croatia and Hungary. The rolling Haloze hills in the Pannonian region of Slovenia were first mentioned in the 15th century under the name of Chalas and Kalosen. The name is supposed to derive from the Latin word Colles meaning vine-growing hills, or from the old Slavic word “halonga” denoting a hilly world. The region is fringed by the rivers Dravinja and Drava and is popular with cyclists, hikers and fishermen alike. The ancient city of Ptuj (easily reached within 15 minutes drive from Hisa Vina) is an architectural chronicle at the crossroads of sunny Italy and the vastness of the Pannonian lowland, Alpine valleys and the expanse of the Balkans. It is the most picturesque town in Slovenia and boasts the richest heritage.
Swimming and Treking 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 treking routes. Those who like dramatic Alpine senery 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 preffer 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.
Ski: In the winter season, the guests can enjoy skiing at a number of local ski resorts. A car is required to reach the resorts. The nearest ski resort is Pohorje ski area (15 min drive), a host to women's World Cup races. The Pohorje resorts of Areh and Bolfenk have a variety of pistes for both beginners and accomplished skiers. Other ski resorts in the area are Rogla (55 min drive), Golte (1 hour 10 min drive) and Sljeme in Croatia (1 hour 30 min drive). A guide to all local ski resorts is available at the property.
Golf: There is an 18-hole golf course in Ptuj, located 10 min drive from the house. Ptuj golf course (please, do not hesitate to contact owner for link) is regarded as one of the best in the region and was voted the best golf course in Slovenia in 2007. There are a further 4 golf courses within a 60 min drive. The second nearest is located in the vineyards of Slovenske Konjice - Zlati Gric (40 min drive).
