4. What kind of land it is - agricultural or for building? Are there any restrictions on using the land for building?
Few thousands of square meters around the house there is a land which can be used to build on it, the rest part of land is agricultural land with no restrictions. There is a great interest of local society to run a tourist activity on that land & in the castle such as golf, horse breeding, medical activity, probably casino, hotel, spa– it is a strong likelihood there is a thermal water… etc. In Slovenia there are some Spa with hotel resorts which are already making an excellent profit, but I am positively sure this castle is located in much better position than other Thermae…
