The House of Lychnis
Lychnidos, the city of light, was the ancient name of Ohrid. For seventeen years we have carried that light into the way rare homes change hands: quietly, precisely, and always with the place itself in mind.

Seven landscapes,
one country.
From the ancient waters of Ohrid to the pine ridges of Mavrovo, Macedonia is small enough to cross in a morning and varied enough to last a lifetime.

The Private Office
Every detail,
handled.
From the first conversation to the keys and beyond, one partner and one team stay with you: in English, Macedonian, Albanian, German, Italian or Russian.
We search on and off the market, often before a home is ever photographed. Every property is visited, its title verified and its story understood before we bring it to you.

In their words
They found us a house on Kaneo that was never on the market, and somehow made a purchase from Zurich feel like a walk along the lake.
We sold our family home on Vodno in five weeks, to one buyer, after three viewings. No signs, no portals, no noise. Exactly as promised.
Residency, schools, a bank account and a chalet in Mavrovo, all in one season. Ivana and Ana became the first friends we made in Macedonia.
