luxury real estate for sale Mureș County, Romania

During the time when Romania was a Kingdom, the county bearing the name of Târnava Mică was formed, around the homonymous river, in Transylvania, Here, Târnăveni (formerly Târnava-Sân-Martin) functioned as a county seat. In April 1912, Târnăveni is elevated to the rank of city, and advances to gas-powered street lighting. In the year 1918, more precisely on the day of December 1st, the Union of Transylvania to the Motherland was completed. In 1990, December 1st was selected to be the National Day of Romania. Between September and October 1944, the 82nd Infantry Regiment fought valiantly, in the Târnava Mică valley and on the hills around the city, against the German and Hungarian forces. After the Second World War, the established communist regime established an administrative reorganization and a specific socio-economic life for Târnăveni. The history of the city takes us back in time, in 1278, when it was first documented, although traces of human habitation have been found since the Neolithic. The prosperity of the city made its eastern neighbour, the adjacent village of Cuștelnic, to become part of Târnăveni in 2000, through local referendum. Tall, majestic, and bearing a magnetic intensity of the color on the façades, Elszeszer Palace is located at the intersection of two streets in the city center.

The palace provides a generous space with 10 rooms, which have different surfaces and are arranged as: lower ground + ground floor + first floor.The built area totals about 650 sqm, with a footprint of 367 sqm and a usable area of approximately 400 sqm. An asset of the property is the immediate functionality, as the building is connected to all the necessary utilities: water, gas, electricity and sewerage. Therefore, this historical building becomes an interesting space for a future investment, being very versatile and ready to use for several commercial purposes, among which we mention a hotel, an office space or store, a kindergarten or a clinic.

In a long and broad valley cut through thick woods stand few houses, clustered here and there, rather spread among large tracts of green land—on such land, with forest on three sides, a lover of green has built in 2007 a solid stone foundation on which he then aligned, horizontally, round, neat and straight logs in the shape of a house. A wide terrace, house to red geraniums, allows one to take possession of the property with a glance - everything is green, welcoming and alive; the vocabulary of the house does not include concrete, asphalt and plasterboard. Soft and warm logs are used inside as walls; mbroidered curtains, local pottery and a door painted with folk designs join the carved entrance gate and anchor the house in tradition; the computer and photovoltaic panels stand as symbols of the present. On the surrounding land, long branches hang heavy to the ground; somewhere in between them there is a bear watch shelter. Here at dusk there’s that ineffable feeling when the body feels the day slowing down and the soul vibrates in communion with nature. The ground floor means common spaces - living room, kitchen, dining area and bathroom. The corner stove promises to burn hot in the winter; in summer, the wood does its duty and keeps cool. The sleeping area consists of three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. For summer days, the gazebo with grill/oven solves the eternal dilemma what are we eating today, and the table tennis room breaks the tranquility with a little competitive spirit. When too much forest threatens the balance, the Sovata resort is 15 km away, ready to offer its attractions: lakes with chlorinated and sodium waters, restaurants or hiking on the Salt Mountain and Gurghiu Mountains, towards Vârful Cireșelu or Saca Hill; Praid, Corund, Odorheiu Secuiesc, Călimănesti, and Rimetea are not far away either. photo Florin Pepene
