Czech term or phrase: reprezentativní rezidence
Celý zámecký areál je ojedinělou ucelenou ukázkou venkovské *reprezentativní rezidence* ve stylu pozdního vídeňského klasicismu a empíru v českých zemích, zároveň je dokladem životního stylu a ambic přední osobnosti tehdejší evropské vrcholné politiky, jakou byl kancléř Metternich.

What do they mean by "reprezentativní" - "imposing", "impressive" or something more specific?

I doubt they mean "characteristic/typical" if they're saying it's the only one!

country residence


Explanation:
I belive that anything like "representative" is redundant in English as "residence" as such means "representativní rezidence" nad "country" is correct for "venkovský"

neutral  Stuart Hoskins: As per your explanation, that's the point. "reprezentativní" means "intended to impress", not "impressive", and while "impressive" works in some cases, that is not the primary meaning here. If only "impressivable" were a word. :-)

"country" might be better than "rural"
