In the quiet village of Podkozí in the Beroun region, the legacy of the well-known entrepreneur and visionary Petr Kellner lies behind the PPF investment company. Although he tragically died three years ago in a helicopter crash in Alaska, his widow Renata Kelnerova takes care of the mansion.
Surrounded by a huge slate wall and vigilant security measures, the sprawling mansion worth nearly 500 million crowns represents a balance of luxury and minimalist elegance. The property, which also includes a discreet caretaker’s apartment, is fortified with cameras and guards, offering the family unrivaled privacy and security.
Architectural harmony with nature
Designed by renowned architect Jakub Sigler, the homestead blends seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. The residence, a one-story villa, was once part of a historic complex that included the U Skrčených estate and an old pub. Today, it features a natural stone facade with partially glazed exteriors and a distinctive grass gable roof that reflects a deep respect for its surroundings.
Innovative design and luxurious equipment
The interior of the fort is a marvel of modern engineering and design. Its most distinctive feature is the pool’s glass wall, which slides into the ground and blurs the lines between indoor luxury and outdoor natural beauty. The residence also offers guest rooms that complement spacious common areas that include dry and wet saunas and spacious living rooms for Kellner’s relatives.
A rider’s dream
Outside the residence, the estate has an enclosed riding stable and stables for ten horses. Peter Kellner’s daughter, Anna, a decorated showjumping champion, continues to nurture her passion for equestrian sports on campus and adds a dynamic layer of youth and energy to the estate.
Social engagement and memories
Peter Kellner’s legacy extends far beyond the walls of his headquarters. The local community remembers him as a careful administrator of his estate and municipal interests, and his influence is felt throughout Podkozí. Kellner’s foundation continues to contribute to local infrastructure, honoring his commitment to community well-being.
Safety at rest
High security measures around the estate are a common feature for properties of such significant value. “It’s common to see sophisticated security systems at high-end properties, but Kellner’s estate goes above and beyond with round-the-clock surveillance,” Notes for server ŽivotvČesku.cz Jiří Hanousek is a real estate broker specializing in luxury real estate.
