A manor house with soul and 5,500 m² of your own private world

There are houses you can buy. And there are places you first have to experience. At the edge of the forest, amidst ancient trees and a silence that isn't emptiness but the presence of nature, stands a remarkable manor house from the early 20th century. This is a place where history hasn't been confined to a museum display case. It still lives here – in the thick limestone walls, wooden floors, fireplaces, and the rustling of the old trees. This 260 m² house and 5,500 m² of private world is located in Choiny, in the Rybczewice commune – just about half an hour from Lublin, yet far enough away that, upon entering the gate, you feel the city rush has been left behind. TIME FLOWS DIFFERENTLY HERE. The manor house was built in the early 20th century – at a time when houses were built not for a single season, but for generations. Built from solid limestone, it captivates with its authenticity and the character of its ancient architecture. Thick walls give it a remarkable atmosphere of durability, and the modernization allows it to combine the atmosphere of a historic home with the comforts of modern life. The building has been insulated with polystyrene foam, and the roof is covered with sheet metal, allowing the historic form to conceal solutions that meet the everyday needs of modern residents. It is this balance that is one of the property's greatest assets: history outside, comfort inside. 260 M² OF HOME-MADE WARMTH. Within the approximately 260 m² of the house, you can experience something that contemporary, catalog interiors often fail to offer – a true home atmosphere. Natural wood, handcrafted furniture, wooden floors, and details create interiors brimming with warmth. And here, the word "warmth" has a special meaning. Every room features a fireplace. It's not just an additional heating source, but above all, the ability to create a completely different atmosphere. In winter, the crackling fire, the glow of the flames, and the old wooden elements create an atmosphere worth staying at home for. The kitchen also features a tiled stove – a detail that is almost a luxury these days. It has a touch of the old-fashioned homes where the kitchen was the heart of the household, and the warmth of the stove drew the householders together. THE WARMTH YOU CAN CHOOSE: The house is equipped with a dual-function gas boiler, which is responsible for heating the building and preparing domestic hot water. At the same time, residents have access to an alternative, incredibly atmospheric heat source – fireplaces located in every room. So, you can enjoy the convenience of a modern gas installation, and when autumn or winter evenings arrive – light a fire and let the house warm itself with its own, traditional rhythm. 5,500 M² – GARDEN, PARK, AND FOREST IN ONE. The greatest luxury of this place, however, is space. The 5,500 m² plot offers a sense of privacy that is increasingly difficult to find near large cities. Here grows ancient oaks, linden trees, and larches – trees that were here long before us and, if allowed to grow, will be here long after us. The property also has its own well, from which you can draw water. This is another element that emphasizes the independent, residential character of this place. And as the day slowly begins to fade, the garden becomes a natural setting for gatherings with loved ones. A bonfire area has been prepared on the plot – perfect for summer evenings, long conversations, baking bread, potatoes, or simply gazing into the fire as the first stars appear overhead. Imagine a summer breakfast under the trees. A bonfire lasting well into the night. A long table in the garden, where friends gather. Children running among the trees. Or simply an armchair, a book, and a few hours of doing absolutely nothing. And beyond the garden's edge, the forest begins. And it is this combination – a manor house, ancient trees, private land, a private well, and the forest right next door – that gives the property its unique character. COMFORT WITHOUT LOSING THE ATMOSPHERE. The property has been designed so that you can enjoy the charms of life in an old house without having to sacrifice basic comforts. A dual-function gas boiler provides heating and hot water. Fireplaces provide additional heating. The building is insulated with polystyrene foam, and the roof is covered with sheet metal. The property also has a domestic sewage treatment plant and its own well. This is a home for someone who wants to be close to nature, but also values solutions that provide comfort and greater independence. CHOINY – IN THE LAND OF MANOR HOUSES, RAGNES, AND GIEŁCZW. Choiny lies in an exceptionally picturesque part of the Lublin region, in the landscape of the Giełczew Valley. This is an area where the history of former landed estates intertwines with hilly landscapes, forests, ponds, and a river. The Rybczewice commune boasts a unique heritage of old manor houses and park complexes. The area includes historic manor and park complexes in Pilaszkowice, Stryjno, and Rybczewice. Therefore, this is no coincidence for an old manor house. Manor heritage
