luxury real estate for sale Covasna County, Romania

Captured in a photograph with the sun behind it, illuminating and hiding it from view at the same time, the Nagy mansion seems to have the power to transport its guest back to the 19th century, just as Gil, played by Owen Wilson, returned to the 1920s in the film Midnight in Paris, directed by Woody Allen in 2011. The idea of traveling back in time is often used in the description of properties and therefore subject to demonetization; in the case of the Nagy mansion, it stands in certain rooms where the past comes to life through a special stove, through pieces of solid wood furniture carefully crafted and polished by time such as the two sumptuous original Saxon beds. The mansion, built in 1802 by the Hungarian noble family Nagy, today completely renovated and brought up to modern living standards, preserves original architectural details, despite its troubled history - in 1992, when the property was reacquired, it no longer had doors or windows; after the nationalization in 1949 it was used by the local IAS including to house day laborers. The story goes that Szotyori Nagy Tamásné, mistress of the manor in the middle of the 19th century, was a fearless woman who not only went to the front to look for her hero son, but offered shelter to the persecuted and, after the revolution was crushed, sent parcels to those incarcerated. In 1884, during the election campaign, in the building that later became a granary, the owner of the place hosted the well-known writer Jókai Mór. Today, the entrance through the wide gate shows a circle of flowers whose role, in addition to the decorative one, is to guide today's horse-drawn carriages to the entrance of the building. With a decent exterior and a small portico the mansion consists of a spacious ground floor and a generous attic dominated by the protective red roof over them; the two windows placed above the entrance, on the left and right are known as the queen's eyes, belonging to the most desirable room in the building. The mansion functions today as a guesthouse and has 3 rooms with matrimonial beds and 4 double rooms, all with their own bathroom. The dining room can accommodate 70 people and the old cellar is now a wine cellar, keeping visible both parts of the original foundation wall and the old roof tiles reused as flooring. The sauna, the salt room and other ways to spend quality time complete the generous offer of the outside – walks through the silence of wheat fields and potato crops or visiting the Balvanyos baths, the Cheile Varghisului nature reserve, the birch forest in Reci, the Kalnoky castle and the Zabola domain (Covasna being also known as the Land of Manors). The town of Coșeni is 13km from Prejmer, 19km from Harman and 28km from the center of Brașov. photo Florin Pepene

Ozunca Băi resort is located in the Ozunca valley, in Covasna county, at an altitude of 750 meters and is a spa resort that raises a growing interest due to its fairytale location but also due to the curative quality of the waters here. The resort was formed around mineral springs in the Ozunca spring region in 1896, when there were pools with wooden edges, filled with mineral water. Ozunca water is known for its beneficial effects, especially among children without appetite, in the form of drinking cures, but also treats various diseases: cardiovascular, digestive, kidney and urinary tract diseases, respiratory diseases, neurosis asthenic, endocrine disorders. At Ozunca Bai, the main tourist attraction is the swamp with mineral water, a unique and protected nature reserve, where very rare flowers and plants grow, such as the ash flower or the carnivorous plant Drosera. However, an important attraction is the mineral water spring from Pisztrangos, very rich in calcium, whose deposits have made a huge cone of limestone bush. Also, other attractions in the area are: Merești Cave located 45 km from Vârghișului and Ozunca Gorges, Biborțeni, Bodvaj Furnace, and the nature reserves around Aita Mare village. Ozunca Băi Resort is today one of the most important tourist attractions in Szeklerland.

The entire complex sits on a 10.5 hectars land plot hosting the main building, the big size pool, a parking and plenty of forest. The house was completed around 2005 and is built on 3 levels: basement, ground floor and attic, offering a total built area of 1,400 sqm . The property was generally used as a Kids Summer Camp and it should go through a general renovation before it can get a new utilisation, while the large plot of land offers plenty of opportunities for extra facilities or additional constructions.

Somewhere on the way from Brașov to Intorsura Buzaului, a small river bravely dug his way through the mountains and created one of the most beautiful sceneries in Barsov's vicinity : Valea Dobarlaului. The village with the same name, located 33 km away from Brasov, managed to maintain its authentic beauty unaltered by the tourist exploitation that we see in Bran or Prahova Valley. Leaving the main road and going towards the end of the village, we will reach a small complex of vacation houses that seem to be straight out of an Alps postcard. Surrounded by forest, with the mountain rising straight at the backdoor of the houses, with alleys and common areas beautifully landscaped, with wooden and stone elements happily blended in. Only one of the six houses is fully independent from the energy point of view, with solar panels and heat pump that provide all the necessary energy resources. The house is set on a 1.000 sqm land plot, with a beautifully landscaped garden, with plants, stone, pine trees and fruit trees. In the garden we also find a winter house with a brick BBQ. The house has 4 levels, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a big living room with a fireplace and a kitchen, a huge dining room for parties and gatherings, and a covered terrace with an amazing view of the mountains.
