Fish Farm Estate for Sale in Palkonya – 16 Hectares of Water Surface with Tourism and Commercial Potential

We offer for sale a 16-hectare fish farm system with a well-established infrastructure that has been in operation for many years. The lake system consists of three separate ponds, providing a total water surface of 15.1 hectares, while the remaining area is comprised of drainage channels and supporting infrastructure. The property offers ideal conditions for aquaculture operations, while its size and location also provide significant potential for tourism and recreational development.

The lake has a capacity of up to 1,500 kg of fish stock per hectare, representing considerable production potential. The system is already suitable for fish farming operations, but it also offers excellent opportunities for recreational fishing tourism, such as establishing rentable fishing spots or organizing fishing programs and events.

The characteristics of the property allow for multi-purpose utilization. Certain areas of the lake could be developed as a beach and leisure zone or an active water sports area, while other sections could remain dedicated to fishing or nature-oriented activities, creating a project capable of attracting a wide range of visitors. The proximity to the Villány Wine Region, one of Hungary’s most popular wine tourism destinations, further enhances the long-term development potential.

In the immediate vicinity of the fish ponds, there is also a 2,720 m² building complex, which can be purchased separately for HUF 565,000,000. The buildings include a fish shop, fish trading unit, buffet, fish hatchery, camping service building, and a modern mill. The combined acquisition of the lake system and the building complex offers the opportunity to establish a diversified business operation, where aquaculture, tourism, and hospitality can function as mutually reinforcing activities.

The property benefits from an excellent location: Palkonya is one of Hungary’s best-known gastronomic and wine tourism destinations, where year-round festivals, wine cellar tours, and cultural events generate a steady flow of visitors. This strong and stable tourism environment provides significant business potential for the further development of the fish farm.

The property represents an ideal opportunity for investors and tourism developers seeking a unique water-based asset with outstanding development potential and the foundation for a high-quality, multi-functional project.

The lake system is well prepared from both technical and water management perspectives. The ponds are located on land with excellent water-retention capacity, while the dams and their associated structures are properly constructed and regularly maintained. Reed overgrowth is not characteristic of the lakes, ensuring that the water surface remains fully usable. The dams, sluice structures, and spillway are all in good condition, allowing the system to operate reliably and sustainably in the long term.

Water management within the system – including the supply, drainage, and water level regulation of the nursery ponds and wintering ponds – is supported by reinforced concrete hydraulic structures, enabling efficient and well-controlled operation of the ponds. Water levels are regulated through inlet sluices, outlet sluices, and a freshwater sluice, providing precise control over the entire system.

One of the lakes features a central island equipped with a camera tower, allowing continuous monitoring of the water surface and fish stock. Several fishing piers have also been installed around the ponds, supporting potential recreational fishing activities. Overall, the lake system is well-developed, properly maintained, and ready for immediate operation, providing a solid foundation for either aquaculture activities or tourism-related development.
