You might be wondering where the number 1321 comes from in the name of my house. It's not like Leszcz is competing with Zawoja, which has over 2,300 houses, for the title of longest village in Poland. Our village boasts a rather long history. The first mentions of it date back to the Teutonic Knights, in 1321. However, life here went on long before knights began ruling these lands, as the Slavs built their stronghold on the site of present-day Leszcz between the 8th and 9th centuries.

But enough of history, let's focus on the here and now. And now it's a fairytale, because since I renovated my house on a promontory jutting out onto Lake Wielka Dąbrowa, you can relax in the village of Leszcz better than in a five-star hotel. Better because you don't have to share space with anyone, the comfortable interiors provide a pleasant experience, and what's more, everything is included in the price. There's a hot tub in front of the house, a dry sauna, and bicycles. And, of course, SUPs and a boat to enjoy the lake's proximity. You can paddle straight through the gate to the lake—a jetty nestled among the reeds already sways invitingly towards you from below. On the lake's shore, you'll also find a wooden platform with loungers, so you can soak up the sun while the water laps and read on a deckchair. How blissful, isn't it?

This 100-square-meter house on Lake Wielka Dąbrowa once had a different life. It recently underwent a complete renovation and has become a comfortable summer retreat for those seeking a relaxing yet idyllic retreat.

On-site you'll find:
– 3 bedrooms:
· 1 royal bedroom for 2 people, with panoramic lake views,
· 2 more modest bedrooms, also for 2 people, the one with fish-print wallpaper featuring a comfortable fold-out sofa as a bed,
– 2 bathrooms, each with a walk-in shower,
– a living room with a fireplace, TV, and sofa,
– the living room is connected to a comfortable kitchen with an island and a dining area for 6 people.

In front of the house is a terrace with garden furniture, inviting you to relax, and right next to it is a hot tub and barbecue. Further down the property, behind a cozy door, a dry sauna awaits you.

We feel that cooking in our kitchen will be a true pleasure for you. Thanks to the meticulous design and kitchen island, you can feel like you're on a cooking show. The stove with a decent oven will be appreciated by all foodies, and the lake views from the dining room will appeal even to those who don't feel like dining.

A morning swim, an afternoon kayaking trip from the front of the house, and evening dinner on the terrace. In the fall, the hot tub steams up pleasantly, making the walk from the sauna to the lake the best part of the day.

The sauna is located next to the house and heats up to 110 degrees Celsius. The hot tub is wooden and wood-burning. You light it yourself, and the water heats up in about 3 hours, so it's best to start in the afternoon. Both are included in the price. Wood is kept by the stove, and you can find supplies in the woodshed.

What's nearby?
A forest is a short walk from the house – about a 5-minute walk.
A fortified settlement on a peninsula (an earthen rampart in the forest) – about a 500-meter walk.
A hike around the lake, on foot or by bike – about 20 km in total.
A village beach in Leszcz – about a 5-minute walk.
A swimming area in Dąbrówno with a beach with a lifeguard in season – about an 8-minute drive. The Grunwald Fields, where the Battle of Grunwald took place in 1410, and the museum in Stębark are approximately 10 minutes by car.
The Dylewo Hills with hiking and cycling trails are approximately 20 minutes by car.
Ostróda and the Elbląg Canal (we recommend boat cruises!) are approximately 35 minutes by car.

A room with fish wallpaper is perfect for children. The green area around the house is fenced, but keep in mind that the fence near the lake might not be suitable for more adventurous children. And although the garden doesn't have a playground or mud kitchen, it might appeal to families – thanks to the greenery, the spaciousness, the lake below, and the SUP and bike rentals.

Go ahead, pack your bags for workation! The house is equipped with Starlink, which will keep you connected during company meetings and daily tasks.
