Czech actor and television host Vojta Kotek has transitioned his career focus away from traditional mobile housing, settling permanently into a newly constructed farmhouse in Kozárovice. Kotek, widely recognized for his roles in Czech film and television as well as hosting reality formats like Traitors (The Traitors) and participating in international adventure programming, opened his farm gates to local markets and television personalities.
The Transition from the Caravan to a Permanent Homestead
Kotek officially left behind the mobile caravan lifestyle that previously defined his rural project. According to regional reporting from vtelce.cz, a new residential house has been constructed on the farm property. However, the development brought unexpected ecological hurdles, notably managing local populations of amphibians, specifically toads (čolci), which required specific environmental considerations during construction.
Reflecting on the realities of agricultural life, Kotek admitted in an interview with Žena.cz that he encountered a harsh farming reality. He noted that certain foundational decisions regarding the homestead’s layout and management would not be repeated if he had to start over.
Community Markets and Celebrity Involvement in Kozárovice
According to Příbram diary, large crowds filled the market spaces, resulting in complete sell-outs of vendor goods within just one hour of opening.
To assist with the farm’s operations and public events, Kotek enlisted several notable public figures. As reported by extra.cz, participants from the reality show Asia Express alongside a prominent Czech athlete rolled up their sleeves to help shoulder the manual labor required on the farm.
Balancing Farming with Television Projects
While managing the daily operations of his agricultural property, Kotek has continued his television career, notably hosting the psychological reality competition Traitors. In an interview with iDNES.cz, Kotek discussed the psychological crossover between his television work and rural life, stating that hosting Traitors revealed his capacity for strategic manipulation. He also noted a practical operational rule for the homestead: unlike participants in game shows, the farm animals are intentionally left unnamed to maintain professional distance.
The dual focus on agricultural development and television hosting marks a significant lifestyle shift for the actor, balancing rural isolation in Kozárovice with high-profile media appearances across Czech networks.
