Vineyard house (bağ evi)

Criteria in the regulation

In short: If the parcel is at least 2 ha on absolute, special crop or marginal land, at least 1 ha on perennial (planted) land, or at least 0.3 ha under greenhouse cultivation, a vineyard house with a 30 m² footprint and up to 2 storeys can be permitted.

Conditions

One vineyard house per family in the same district and one per parcel; "family" means spouses and the minor children living with them.
A tenant cannot apply for a vineyard house.
If the land type on the title deed differs from the actual use, the land type must be changed first.
On a jointly owned parcel, a notarised letter of consent from the other co-owners is required.
If requested together with a greenhouse of 0.3 ha or more, the greenhouse is built first.
No technical project report is prepared for a vineyard house.

Permit route

Outside a large plain protection area: the provincial directorate of agriculture and forestry reviews the application and the governor's office grants permission; the land class does not matter, no alternative site is required and the Soil Conservation Board is not involved.
In a large plain protection area: no alternative site is required; the Board's opinion and the Ministry's permission are needed.

Zoning rules

Vineyard house in areas without a zoning plan: FAR 0.05, total floor area up to 250 m², 2 storeys and a height of 7.5 m; setbacks of 5 m from the road and 3 m from the parcel boundary (art. 63).
A single vineyard house with a footprint of no more than 75 m², a total of no more than 150 m² and 2 storeys including the basement can be built without a building permit, with a favourable opinion from the provincial directorate and the local authority's permission (art. 64).
For the agricultural land permit, the binding limit is a 30 m² footprint × 2 storeys.
If the parcel is covered by an approved environmental plan or zoning plan, the plan's provisions apply first.

Interpretation note

The threshold was read as the area of the parcel; the regulation does not say whether several parcels can be added together.

The amendment of 4 August 2026 lowered the threshold on absolute, special crop and marginal land from 5 ha to 2 ha, with effect from 4 April 2026.
