Vasily Khudov's dacha is located in the Riviera Park in Sochi, Krasnodar Krai. Built in 1896, this two-story dacha is a true gem of the park.

Vasily Alekseevich Khudov (1841-1913) was a hereditary honorary citizen, a first-guild Moscow merchant, a graduate of Heidelberg University, a member of the board of the Yegoryevsk paper-spinning factory of the A. and G. Khudov brothers, and the director of the Steel partnership. He had a house in Moscow and an estate called "Razdolnoye" near Sochi, where he engaged in winemaking. This estate became the basis for the creation of the "Riviera" park, and Khudov is considered its founder.

In 1883, he purchased a large plot of land in the Dakhovsky area, between the Sochi and Psakhe rivers. Here he planned to create a farm with vineyards, a winery, and a dairy farm.

In 1896, Khudov built a dacha in the Art Nouveau style with elements of ancient Russian terema architecture, designed by architect L.N. Kekushev. This is one of the oldest buildings in Sochi.

Khudov hoped for a rich harvest from 120 desyatinas of gardens, where Crimean apple trees, pomegranates, and olive trees for olive oil production grew. He also ordered rare plants from around the world. However, his expectations were not met: the vineyards froze, the pomegranates did not ripen, and the wine did not meet standards. In 1883, he also bought plots belonging to merchant N.N. Mamontov.

Today, this area is home to the "Caucasian Riviera" sanatorium. In 1901, Khudov's lands were purchased by the Ministry of Agriculture, and in 1909 they passed to Maria Zolina. From 1920 to 1930, the dacha housed the Sochi resort administration, and from 1938, a resort clinic. During the Great Patriotic War, it served as the headquarters of a fighter battalion, and after the war until the mid-80s, it again housed a clinic. Khudov's dacha was in a state of disrepair for a long time until it was demolished in 2009 and restored in 2012.

The restoration project was created in 2008, but it was later decided to demolish the building and reconstruct it in its original form. Today, the dacha, combining ancient Russian architecture and Art Nouveau, is used as a representative residence for a large company. It features business premises and apartments with bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens. Nearby is a government complex, and the sea is only 250 meters away. The estate grounds include a swimming pool, garden, and parking.
