Once upon a time, behind the mountains and forests... oh wait, there are no mountains here. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you an amazing and fairy-tale palace in Arturówek. You might be surprised. What? A palace? But Mr. House always sells only new houses? Surprise! No, dear ones, we only sell NICE properties and this one is just that. The HISTORY of this unique property is like a novel that no one has written about any of the contemporary houses. This exceptional place has a soul and a history that dates back to the 19th century. The year of its construction is considered to be 1897. The property was built on the commission of Ludwik Heinzel as a summer villa "forester's lodge" near the palace complex that belonged to the family at that time. ...He had flair. A place with the history of Lodz manufacturers and landowners at the beginning of the 20th century. During the war, the palace was occupied by the Germans and then the Red Army. After World War II and in the following years, as a nationalized property, it served various functions, including as a student house or even - an ORMO facility (thankfully only for a moment). After many years of efforts, in 1982, the dream of the current owners came true and the villa passed into private hands. These hands and hearts still take care of this place today. LOCATION This place is enchanting because it is a recreational area of the city. Those of us who are a bit older surely remember the horse that had stables near the palace. That was one of the attractions of Arturówek. (…I hope you didn't feed that horse because the owners said they spent a fortune on treating the stomach problems of that noble animal). The property is located almost by the pond in the basin of the Bzura River. Surrounded by the largest forest complex in Europe within the city - Lagiewniki. And all this is just 15 minutes from Manufaktura in the heart of Lodz. The palace is accessed by a driveway, closed to city traffic from the bridge. Only residents have access. The areas on which the palace is situated have retained their unique climate. Despite changes from the 19th to the 21st century, they have remained a beautiful recreational area. You can walk there, swim, sunbathe, run in the forest, and enjoy the fresh air and the singing of birds... and the patient ones will also see wild boars and deer. In the immediate vicinity, there is also a horse stud and the Lodz Equestrian Club, the Lagiewniki Forest Nature Reserve, and beautiful ponds known to everyone from weekend trips. PALACE Passing through the huge, decorated entrance gate, you will be absorbed by the atmosphere of this place. And the atmosphere is fantastic, like from the world of Harry Potter. A winding cobbled road with a driveway right in front of the entrance. Beautiful old trees, towers, stables, a guardhouse, and the smell of the forest... and the building itself with a fairy-tale tower and wrought balconies - transports us to another, magical world. You won't want to leave. This unique atmosphere is enhanced by the owners themselves - because they are exceptional people. You can listen to their stories all night long. Wow, how much heart they have put into this magical place. As a curiosity, I will mention that they established the first private hotel in Poland there. Also, the interiors of the villa have appeared in several well-known film productions. Just look at the photos. They confirm that the former atmosphere is preserved not only from the outside but, above all, on the inside. Beautiful wooden decorations, furniture, historical memorabilia, and details, as well as a huge fireplace. This confirms that the owners are enthusiasts and approached the revitalization of this property with great heart. It is worth visiting this house to feel what you will not feel in any other house. The smell, sound, and image will transport you to a magical world frozen in the history of Lodz. And climbing the tower will delight you with the view of the greenery of the Lagiewniki forest canopy. The structure of the tower is amazing, as usually, the stairs run inside around the axis of the building, but here they are placed on the outside and the rooms are inside. This place simply captivates me. It is not cheap, but history and uniqueness have no price that can be clearly related to anything. BASEMENT: - Hell - recreational room - Pantry - Boiler room - Laundry GROUND FLOOR: - living room with a huge terrace - two bedrooms - office - kitchen - dining room - Hall - two bathrooms + sauna FLOORS (including the tower): - 10 rooms with bathrooms - including 4 in the tower. Separate outbuildings with a residential part and in them: - Carriage house and garage part - Stable - Tack room - Guardhouse - Workshop I have had coffee several times in the living room by the fireplace. I feel wonderful in this atmosphere. Yes, this is not a proposal for everyone. I am aware of that. You have to love antiques, the smell of old wood, creaking floors, and places with a soul and history. How much have these walls seen? WOW... These are things unattainable for absolutely any money in new houses. Call me so we can embark on this journey together. Get to know the history of this place and its advantages even better. A place as unconventional as its purpose, which allows the new owner to spread their wings of imagination... Residential house, restaurant, guesthouse... what else does creativity suggest to you?
