In a gentle valley, between Copșa Mare and Sighișoara, there is a Saxon settlement created by worthy people who built decent houses, nicely aligned with the main street. Proud, with a pitched roof and stuck together by opaque gates firmly fixed in the masonry, they can be seen from above like those Dutch ceramic houses brought as souvenirs from some Nordic holiday. Between these houses there is a beautifully renovated compound, a handful of buildings surrounding an inner courtyard with short grass and slight bumps reminiscent of childhood weed. The tile roof in a myriad of shades - brick, chocolate, orange, scarlet - is proof of the attention paid to the use of building materials specific to the area, patiently identified and carefully installed to the delight of the eye and the soul. On the street, the façade has a restrained color scheme, but the houses in the courtyard have whitewashed walls to let the sky be reflected in the shutters; however, the houses are modestly elegant, as befits Saxon dwellings. The interior is bright and the cellar, composed of rooms that communicate with each other, takes your breath away - vaulted, made of brick, it is more than generous and full of potential. The property consists of three distinct residential buildings situated on a 3756 sqm plot of land. The main house, built in 1884 and recently completely renovated with great taste and a passion for authenticity, has a footprint of 344 sqm and a total floor area of 527 sqm. The ground floor is fully furnished and equipped with careful attention to preserving and enhancing the building's character. The cellar is spectacular and invites the imagination to consider various uses: a noble wine cellar, a spa area reminiscent of top hotels, or a special relaxation zone. The second building has a footprint of 356 sqm, is entirely on the ground floor, and is currently a blank canvas, allowing the future owner the opportunity to transform it according to their preferences and the intended use of the property. Additionally, there is a separate annex building of 43 sqm currently used as a laundry facility. The area lends itself to rural tourism, as the fortified churches of Copșa Mare, Biertan and Mediaș (whose picturesque center combines Gothic with Renaissance, Neoclassical, Baroque and Secession styles), the tuberoses of Hoghilag (festival in August), Via Transilvanica, the famous Viscri and the beautiful fortress Rupea as well as the medieval fortress Sighișoara and the Bethlen Criș castle are just some of the sights that attract more and more tourists to the area.

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 history of the building originates in the XIX century, in 1860, around its construction time. 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.

When you hear ”Saxon house” the first thing that comes to your mind might be Prince Charles and his property in Viscri. An important unit of the local heritage, the Saxon houses are much more than that. More than 200 villages and many cities in Transylvania bear the mark of the Germanic civilization. And the Saxon house in Codlea, built between 1905-1907, makes no exception. The high gates, which shield the property from any indiscretion, allow for an impressive house to meet the curious eyes with its large windows, wooden beams and poles in sight, with the air of a miniature fortress. With a usable area of 450 sqm, the property is completely restored and the current owner paid a special attention to the preservation of the original architectural details. The oak carpentry has been refurbished, but for a better thermal comfort, another row of laminated wood windows has been added. The wooden doors and door frames are also modern additions, high quality replicas of the original elements. Two rows of parallel beams pass, at a height of 3.5 meters, the ceiling of the house. The attic, an open space of 130 sqm, has its own bathroom and is protected by a recently rebuilt roof with double-glazed tiles. The garage with automated access and separate central heating on each level are just some discreet elements of modernity in a context that preserves the charm of a traditional Saxon dwelling. And the property benefits from a real bonus: in the same yard there is a completely separate house with an area of more than 200 sqm, disposed on two levels. Built in 1973, this home is fully modernized and equipped. The land on which the property is located is also impressive. Spread over an area of 1826 square meters, it is composed of two distinct parts: a pretty cobbled courtyard, confined by ornamental plants, and a terraced garden with fruit trees. The areas are separated by massive walls that enhance the appearance of the typical fortified Saxon properties. In addition, the location, a keyword on the real estate market, is a special one. The property is in the downtown of Codlea, 15 kilometers away from Brasov and only 5 kilometers from the future Ghimbav airport. From the yard of the Saxon House you can admire the Postăvaru massif, and the proximity of the DN1 national road makes it an excellent choice for those who appreciate mobility.

Sânpetru, one of the 14 establishments founded by Saxon colonists in 1211 in Țara Bârsei, was known throughout history as Petersburg, Sant Petru or Mons Sancti Petri. Called by the locals „The Old School”, one of the most important buildings in Sânpetru hosted the Evangelical Saxon School for more than a century. The now private property is undergoing a renovation process in order to receive a new function in the near future: hotel and event center. The two buildings are built in L shape on the edges of a 2500 sqm land that offers plenty of usage options. The location is very fortunate, in the historical area of Sânpetru, in the vicinity of the Evangelical Fortified Church built in 1794 on the foundation of a 13th-century church. The access to and from Brașov is facil and the view towards Lempeș Hill nearby ensures a relaxing sight. The main building facing the street, built in the second half of the 19th century, is the former school and bears an important historic value. Its main façade, recently renovated, contains neoclassic elements. The balanced proportions and symmetrical composition embellish it, with the two entrances mirroring each other. The total built surface is 1058 sqm and the four levels are basement, ground floor, first floor and attic. The conversion project implies creating a winery, dining areas and generous rooms with en-suite bathrooms and dressings. The secondary building fully renovated with premium finishings, and is fully furnished and utilated. There are 408 sqm built on two levels. At the groundfloor we have the kitchen and an big events hall. At the first floor we have two apartments that are ready to use. . With a generous land and two renovated buildings, in the immediate vicinity of Brașov but offering the fresh air that climbs down from Lempeș at twilight and the picturesque panorama of Țara Bârsei, the former Saxon School in Sânpetru can shortly become one of the touristic landmarks of the area.

Bune ș ti, Bundorf, Bondorf, Bondref, Bodndref, Bodendorf, Budendorf, Sz á szbuda - Romanian, German, Hungarian. All these names indicate the same village in Bra ș ov, Transylvania, conveniently located between medieval Sighi ș oara (36 km) and famous Viscri (6 km). Lunca Popii mansion is located here, magically overlooking the village’s fortified church. It has a typical Saxon fence that blocks the view of the curious and keeps the household quiet. The tall, rounded gate and the property fence retain their original brick roof, one that has been blown away by the wind, washed away by the rain, and covered with moss of the yesteryear. Two huge boulders guard the gate like two sheepfolds. Everything inspires a quiet life, clear directions and an attitude of looking life straight in the eye. Only the bench leaning timidly on one side of the gate speaks of the fragility of human nature, always looking for closeness to the other. The stones leading to the house with the raised porch are from local, from a nearby riverbed or ridge, not bought from a DIY store. In the evening, the outdoor lighting springs from the grass and projects a warm light that invites to storytelling and stargazing. Although the construction is recent, it give the impression of a wealthy Saxon peasant household - the cleanliness of the white and the warmth of the wood create that rare air of seriousness and stability. The winter here is snowy just like in our grandparents' childhood stories. In summer, on the other hand, the yard is filled with tall grass, flowers and trees with rich canopy; the sunbeds and the table with stone chairs are overwhelmed by this domestic green, vibrant, refreshing and restful. As in any organised household, the bread oven and the fountain with a handmade clay jug cannot be missing. The wood stack promises warm winters but also deliciously smoked grill ed food. The courtyard is configured on the typical Saxon model, divided by the large house and adjacent buildings, in this case a garage for two cars and a private parking space for another five. Enjoying an excellent position in the country’s hot area of ​​ rural tourism, the property can function both as a single-family holiday home and as a tourist cottage for groups of up to 14 people. If desired, there is the possibility of extension with constructions on a similar surface - the property includes a plot of 1221 sqm adjacent to the current courtyard of 1233 sqm. The villa has 700 sqm; was built in 2009 which gives it all the facilities of a modern, comfortable home. Exposed oak beams mark the impeccable white of the walls. Crafted tile stoves and generous fireplaces cozy up the atmosphere. The interior has an almost spartan air in the bedrooms, but this austerity is broken by small details with the glamor of faded bronze from other times. Three bedrooms on the ground floor have access to a bathroom and a bathroom, while the fourth has its own bathroom. Three other bedrooms are upstairs, with access to an impeccably polished solid wood staircase. Two of these bedrooms of about 16 sqm each share a bathroom but the strong point here is the master bedroom which surprises not only by it 40 sqm -area but also by the wooden bed canopy, dressing room, bathroom and private terrace. The view is dreamy - the hills of Transylvania are green and look like pastel watercolours from afar. The living space, with a library and living room of 80 sqm, includes a table for 12 people, a fireplace and a game table. In summertime the 60 sqm terrace on the porch becomes an al fresco living-room. The kitchen offers ample space ( 40 square meters ) ready to receive between its walls laughter, warmth and stories (the traditional stove in the well-equipped kitchen has a supply of wood on the right side, hidden from view by a curtain wrinkled like grandma's skirts).

Located in one of the best residential areas of Brasov, ideally placed at the edge of the forest, this is one of the most attractive available properties of the city not only due to its positioning but also due to the large land plot and overall amenities. The 2686 sqm land plot offers access to two streets and are split as such to serve different purposes: there is a part that is beautifully landscaped with ornamental plants and trees, there is also an area with a small orchard with fruit trees and vine, there is a large terrace that can be fitted and used to enjoy the amazing view of the mountains and there is also an extra large 8-car garage. The building is monumental, with a very distinct architecture where the four large pillars on the main façade are the highlights. The size of the house is big, with a footprint area of 629 sqm and a total built area of 2127 sqm, split on four levels. The ground floor is dedicated to relaxation and well being, this is why here is where we find the spa, with a large pool, a sauna and a hot tub, then we have a living area, a very large kitchen and a nice hall way with a monumental stairway connecting the upper levels. The first and second floors are where the very large bedrooms, designed as small apartments are located. The attic is a large open space area that can be turned into whatever the next owner will need it to be. The interior is classic, with marble floors and bamboo wooden floorings, with classical pieces of furniture, stained glass or custom made chandeliers nd even an elevator.

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. The house is fully furnished, utilated and connected to utilities and therefore fully functional. There are 3 parking places and also public transport that connects the house with Brasov. The scenery is truly spectacular while the options to spend the time are plentiful: hiking or biking the mountains around or the valley, or enjoying the available facilities like the terrace, the BBQ, the garden, the sport pitch or the small lake.The house is waiting for a family who enjoys nature and friends, who enjoy secluding in the mountains in the comfort of a vacation home that offers all facilities needed for modern life.

Without a doubt, Predeal is one of the most attractive mountain resort from Romania, its history being usually compared with the ones of Sinaia. Frontier locality by 1918, and major railway route at the end of the XIXth century, Predeal was about to become in the interwar period, an important touristic hub, attracting along with Sinaia, the new social strata - sportsmen, lawyers, doctors, professional military. During this modernisation period, many of the villas were erected in the famous neighbourhood Cioplea that was becoming even from the 30’s a true touristic-sport quarter - the first installation of a trampoline (1933), the first tele-ski from the country (1934). The Gen. Cartianu Villa was built in 1937, four houses down the road from ”Căprioara” Villa, the famous holiday home of Marshal Ion Antonescu, the superior of General Cartianu. The residence has been planned with the character of a holiday house, its distinct appearance being enhanced by the used materials - the wood and the wooden crafted elements, river stones and the extraordinary roof.

This interwar building, design in Neo-Romanian style, is located in Sibiu, in the immediate vicinity of the 15th century medieval fortified enclosure. The ensemble is classified in the List of Historical Monuments in Romania by order no. 2030/2014 with code SB-II-a-B-21084, and includes: the main residence (SB-II-m-B-21084.01), the first annex (SB-II-m-B-21084.02) and the second annex (SB-II-m-B-21084.03). According to cartographic sources, around 1875 there was another building on the place of the current one. In 1909, the plot was owned by Henrik Baumann, in 1929 the ownership right was registered for Luiza and Friedrich Baumann. The inscription on the portico’s floor and on the façade indicates its year of construction as 1929, the project being signed by architect Alfred Cernea, as the concrete slab on the façade indicates. Most likely, the project was commissioned by Dr. Liviu Turcu. The present building is emblematic for its Neo-Romanian style. The characteristic features are: massive volumetry, highlighting the central body, loggia with short and thick columns, carved wooden structures inspired by the vernacular architecture, trilobed arches, openings with semi-circular closure and rich decorations with Oriental motifs. The central side of the façade is taller than the other parts, which is also highlighted at the roof. The central area of the ground floor contains a window with semi-circular closure, framed by two embedded Corinthian columns. The floor of the central part is the richest ornamented part of the façade, elevated by the balcony, supported on four massive consoles, decorated with arabesque panels. The loggia opens through three tall trilobate arcades. The façade surfaces around the arches are decorated in an exuberant style with spindles, flowers and arabesques. The main façade of the building offers a panoramic view of the entire garden, at the center of which is an ornamental pool. The access to the yard is made through an alley flanked by tall trees. Designed as an urban villa-style residence with a park around the central building, it initially hosted the Dr. Bolintineanu Sanatorium, and in November 1936 it became Dr. Antal's For Births and Female Diseases Clinic. The building was nationalized in 1948 with this function, soon becoming the headquarters of Sibiu General Sanitary Inspectorate, then a kindergarten, a function preserved until the 1990s. In 2000 the villa and the parcel were returned to the heir family. Today, the imposing building keeps almost intact its original design, projected by architect Cernea, with the valuable decorative elements of the façades. The two annexes were also preserved, realized in a unitary architectural design, the fence near the street along with the main gate, the alley lined by trees, the rampant, the staircase and the basin in front of the main building. Inside, valuable items have been preserved, such as decorative paintings of the ceiling and the original carpentry. Other main attractions add up to the exquisite architectural details, such as: the generous yard of over 5000 sqm and the proximity to The Big Square in Sibiu, located at only 200 m. An outstanding witness of the only national architecture program in Romania, located in a central area of Sibiu, this splendid interwar villa is silently and hopefully waiting for its new owner.

A unique ethnographic area in Romania is “Marginimea Sibiului” (the surroundings of Sibiu) with its picturesque lands at the west of Sibiu, stretches from the Sadului Valley to the Saliste River Valley, comprising 18 fairytale villages, including Orlat. This area represents without a doubt one of the strongest tourist brands in Romania and one of the most beautiful, picturesque and authentic traditional areas in Europe, receiving in the past the title of 'European Destination of Excellence' from the European Commission. The charm of the location is given by the spectacular landscapes, the villages seem frozen in time with customs and traditions preserved with sanctity to this day, with the old buildings and churches classified as historical monuments with their special charm, with local festivals and fairs but also with the traditional gastronomy now famous in the whole country and beyond. Orlat village fits perfectly in the typology of places, it was documented for the first time in 1319 as a border village of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. There were the headquarters of the 1st Border Guard Regiment who was in charge of protecting the southern border of Transylvania with Tara Romanesca. This border was spread over several counties: Hunedoara, Alba, Sibiu and Brasov, as we know them today. Maria Theresa Manor is built on the site of one of the headquarters of the Border Guard Regiment, its history and the Habsburg resonance of the place being the ones that influenced the name given to this complex. On the one-hectare land and starting from the old building, here lies probably the most beautiful tourist complex of the area, and one of the most beautiful in Transylvania. The restaurants, event spaces, accommodation rooms, conference rooms, wine cellar, recreation areas with sauna, two swimming pools, tennis court and children's playgrounds, make Maria Theresa Manor in Orlat not only a tourist attraction for Romanians and foreigners everywhere, but also one of Sibiu residents’ favorite places to spend their free time. The property offers 16 double rooms (with double bed and children crib), 2 apartments with 3 and 5 bedrooms, two dining rooms, 1 lounge, Iosif wine cellar, a terrace with 150 seats and outdoor cooking space, two gazebos (one closed and one open), two swimming pools, sauna, tennis court, organic vegetable greenhouse, a 4-bedroom house, 2 beautifully refurbished rustic cottages, a fish pond, mini animal farm and a parking.
