luxury house for sale Câmpu Cetății, Romania

Far from the noise of the city, but still connected to the urban beauty with an amazing view, on the N-V Cornești plateau, at the edge of the forest is located this exclusive villa, right in the center of the premium area of Târgu Mureș. The property is located in the zoo area, which is the main attraction of the area. The Cornești Plateau (Hungarian: Somostető) is located in the eastern part of Târgu Mureș, 488 m above the Black Sea and 197 m above the city, being covered by oak and hornbeam forest. The plateau opens a wide panorama over the cities and the valley of the Mureș river. The plateau forest is landscaped with a running track and various signposted tourist routes. Among the routes offered are: ``Ursul de piatră from Platoul Cornești - Vârful Terebics - Vârful Cinege - Sângeorgiu de Mureș`` , ``Mașini de calculi (Strada Livezeni) - Platoul Cornești - Universitatea de Medicină`` and ``Cartierul Tudor - Ursul de piatră from Platoul Cornești``. The villa consists of basement+semi-basement+ground-floor+attic with a land of 1867 sqm, share of 800 sqm of the private road, 400 sqm usable area and the footprint of 280 sqm. The basement of the property consists of a cellar of 60 sqm and 3 rooms. In the semi-basement we have 3 technical spaces, a summer kitchen right next to the fitness room with sauna and bathroom. The ground floor offers a generous living room of 60 sqm with a spectacular 24 sqm Swiss crystal stained glass window, which gives a panoramic view of the city and creates the passage to the spacious 110 sqm terrace, a modern kitchen, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a garage for 2 cars and upstairs there is a living room, 2 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms. Outside the property we have a 54 sqm (9x6) pool, a generous relaxation area and a barbeque lounge, ideal for warm seasons. The villa is equipped with the finest meranti wood joinery. We can see this aspect on railings, windows, doors and stairs. Its equipment is multiple and well chosen, from 2CT heating, gas and electric, present in the floor and in the radiant bodies, heat blowers with cold or hot chiller, to video surveillance and security alarms. Not less than 1.5 km from the city center is this property located, which is special not only for the luxury view and the tranquility of the area, but also for its extravagant finishes and modern facilities.

Between the Bistrița and the Giurgeului Mountains, on the Bistricioara river valley near Borsec, there is the Corbu village, a small corner of heaven surrounded by secular forests. Here is our traditional domain, perfect for nature lovers, where they can move immediately. Everything was built and arranged in the smallest details: from the main residence villa, to the guest houses and the breeding grounds, from the terrace from which you can admire a spectacular panorama, to the wooden pavilion that invites you to relax, to the bridge over the creek that runs through the property tot the sauna and other modern equipment... all this can transpose you into a fairytale world, away from the urban tumult. Our domain, close to the Borsec mineral waters, in the middle of the nature, seems to be the perfect place for a better, healthier life.

If you can take your eyes off the lake and dare to turn your back on it to look at the property, the first thing you will notice, besides the contemporary design, is the roof of the terrace coming out into the landscape like a hand sheltering the eyes looking further over the water to the opposite shore. This, in turn, makes you turn back to the lake again guessing where your gaze would go when you’ll be sitting up on the terrace over a glass of wine. Over there on the opposite bank there are holiday villas, hills, forests and pastures of the Calimani mountains; Colibita Lake mirrors the sky and has sandy beaches which have earned it the nickname mountain sea. Boats with masts attract seagulls while graceful swans glide smoothly on the glistening water. The view takes over, your eyes are kept captive in the clouds on the water (the locals say that in its depths there are the church and some of the houses of the old hamlet here before the accumulation lake took over).The generous land (3888 sqm) has an opening to the lake and, therefore, the property does not lack the floating pontoon and a 30-people capacity fully equipped gazebo. The pedestrian alleys are arranged, as is the parking lot. There are two villas layered on B + GF + A, all rooms having views and their own terrace facing the lake. The developed built area is 656 sqm, respectively 428 sqm. One of the villas has a meeting room in the basement, a wave-generating heating pool, a bathroom, showers, a salt room, a sauna and a sports area. On the ground floor we find an office, a fully equipped kitchen, living room with fireplace and a bedroom with private bathroom, and in the attic two bedrooms with private bathrooms and an apartment with two rooms and bathroom. The other villa has a technical room/ storage room in the basement and three bedrooms with private bathrooms. On the ground floor there are a spacious hall, reception, another technical room, terrace, a fully equipped kitchen with pantry, living room with fireplace and bathroom. The attic brings three bedrooms with private bathrooms and a common area. The quality of the design, workmanship and finishes is impeccable. Both villas are nestled within the slope of a small hill, pragmatically exploiting the differences in level and volume. They have straight lines and clear features free of any unnecessary decorative element. The architecture inspires new, a modern and clean air. The impression continues in the interior, with white or gray furniture embedded in the walls. The light is special fiiling up the air with calmness. The chromatics are limited to white lime, cement gray or anthracite, black and wood accents. There are mostly non-colors with only some accessories (a chandelier or a rich old frame) that bring a bit of copper or bronze shine. The interior is minimalist because here the exterior takes over the house through the silent, light wide frame perspective. In addition, the quality finishes and furniture outline a subtle refinement, as if the interior pays homage to the exterior, refuses to compete with it and understands that less is more, that they can coexist symbiotically if the architect puts the view at the center of the concept. This is the role of fully glazed walls - keep the space fluid, do not put a barrier or distance between the inside and the outside. The emphasis on the panorama is also transposed in the modern turquoise armchairs and swings strategically placed in front of the fireplace or the lake, promising velvety softness and disconnection. Paintings with geometric motifs bring symmetry and faded colors, a warm autumn air. The kitchen is fully furnished and equipped for a passionate chef and retains the lightness of the rest of the house. Chic guesthouse? Sure. Holiday House? Yes! But don't you think it's time to be a little selfish - don't you deserve to feel at home on vacation every day? Photo Florin Pepene

In one of the old royal cities of the Habsburg Empire, the one called Elisabetopole, Elizabetopolis, Ibașfalău, Ibișfalău, Bășcăleț, Elisabethstadt, Epeschdorf, or Erzsébetvároș, there is a bright and bold building catching the eye instantly. It is centrally located, on one of the main arteries and near the Armenian cathedral, the one that lost one dome. Featuring an imposing tower guarding the corner and elegantly outlined blue frames against the bright white façade the has distinction. Built in 1881, it wears its age gracefully, having been recently renovated. The internal partitioning has created spacious and bright rooms, both on the ground floor (living room, three bedrooms, kitchen, two bathrooms) and upstairs (three bedrooms, an office, living room, and two bathrooms, one with access to the Finnish sauna). The fireplace stove warms a 40 sqm living room. The vaulted cellar with a brick floor, maintaining controlled temperature, is the perfect place for a private wine cellar, while the garden with lawn and fruit trees is the ideal option for peaceful afternoons. Breakfast can be enjoyed in the pavilion, where hearty meals can also be organized for loved ones, in its 9 sqm summer kitchen with a bread & pizza oven. The garage accommodates two cars. The town of Dumbrăveni, one of the ten royal free cities, enjoys the benefits of multiculturalism, with Romanians, Hungarians, Jews, Saxons, and Armenians living in and beautifying it. In the 16th century, Grigore Apafi built the feudal castle in the form of a citadel, which now operates as the Museum of Transylvanian Armenians, and the Armenian community erected a cathedral here in the 18th century. Dumbrăveni is situated between Sighișoara and Mediaș, having touristic Biertan, Viscri, and Via Transilvanica in close proximity. photo Florin Pepene

With a green hill in the background as a theater setting, this mini-park of leisure promises and delivers well-being. On the property there are indoor and outdoor swimming pools with heated water, jacuzzi, wet & dry sauna, deckchairs that invite you to laze around in the afternoon, massage room, a synthetic football field that becomes an ice rink in winter, large and green courtyard, playground, generous terraces. A conference room equipped with video projector is ready to receive corporations for attractive team building sessions. The main building with its long sloping roof houses the spa, 10 guest rooms and the function room with a capacity of 60 people. The restaurant, with a similar capacity, occupies a separate building and the accommodation space is completed by the cabin, called Ursa perhaps in honor of the sky full of stars in this peaceful corner of the world. Built in 2016, close to the Bistrița river and the Colibița lake, the guesthouse is currently only rented in its entirety, in self-catering mode (7 double rooms with private bathroom, living & dining room, terrace, gazebo & grill). The beauty of the natural landscape inspires hiking, cycling through the woods, boating on the lake, carting or horse-drawn sleigh rides. Tourists can visit the nearby trout farm or sheepfold and, depending on the season, participate in agricultural activities in the guesthouse's garden. Extending the range of action throughout Bistrița-Năsăud county, natural reserves, lakes, churches and monasteries, caves and fortresses are popular points of attraction. photo Florin Pepene

Somewhere on the edge of the forest, with the Bistrita River flowing in front, a private and quiet street leads to a secluded property where the perfectly manicured greenery induces a feeling of well-being; the impression it leaves is bright, neat, with clean lines, a strong aspirational component and a vague Mediterranean air perhaps given by the vegetation or the whiteness of the walls under the roof tile that falls heavily on the building. A silver fir tree punctuates the crowded green garden; the walkways take up in stone the idea of the curve found on the property in other areas too - the corrugated roof, the cut of the glass in the living room, etc. The interior is comfortable, the atmosphere warm, restful and ready to provide comfort for a large number of people - the common areas such as the open kitchen’s island and the living room are meant to gather around the table an extended family. The bathrooms attract attention with a modern design in which the stand alone bathtub is the piece of resistance. The layout of the space follows the civilized standard - in the basement the technical room - boilers, heating system and pool installations - but also the recreation room and wine cellar, plus a light courtyard with access to the pool. The ground floor allows parking for two cars in the garage and from there access to the living room with its fireplace, the dining area and the open kitchen (a second, closed kitchen and an ironing room are nearby). Also on this level are the guest bedroom with bathroom, the office and a vestibule. In the attic, under the skylight, there are 3 bedrooms with a bathroom each. In total, over 730 sqm of usable area finished to the highest standards. photo Florin Pepene

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.

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.

An intimate guesthouse, meticulously designed and managed, with only 10 accommodation places accessible exclusively to those who book it in full; its positioning between the forest and the river allowed the paving of a private road. Moreover, the surface of the land (4.81 ha of which the pasture has 33230 m2 with 10000 beech forests) guarantees quiet and fragrant use – there’s hayfield has 13226 m2 and 20 ares are covered with blackberry crops. The contemporary rustic design has elements that seem brought from nearby, lowered by raft on the river; in reality, the construction combines local tradition with modern technology - the logs are processed by hand, uncalibrated, sanded and cleaned according to Canadian technology, with a diameter between 35-50 cm, the insulation inside being made with natural sheep's wool processed in Austria. In the basement, there is a relaxation area with showers (infrared sauna and table tennis) and a dining room for 16 people, as well as space for a washing machine, a fully equipped kitchen and a food storage area. On the ground floor there are the reception with the living room and two of the bedrooms, on the first floor are the other two bedrooms and the host's room which can be used as a bedroom for children. Each room has its own dressing room and bathroom, decorated in neutral, calming colors, some of them being equipped with bathtubs. The interior is bright, the white of the walls and textiles reflects the light and enhances the wood of the walls and the beams on the ceilings. The living room and two of the four double bedrooms have a fully glazed wall so that the eye can enjoy the view. The rooms are large, having about 30 square meters each; the atmosphere given by the fireplace and solid wood furniture being discretely completed by a few pieces that outline clean, open, light spaces. A terrace equipped with a gas cylinder grill, cauldron, disc for frying with wood and a 60 sqm wooden gazebo that can be organized as a summer kitchen completes the offer.The heating of the rooms is done with radiators connected to the wood fuel boiler and with an individual fireplace (there is also an electric generator for the production of electricity on diesel and a mixed electric boiler; heating from the boiler of 500 l). The property has video surveillance installations, burglary installation, smoke detection installation and central, lightning protection and installation of 2 photovoltaic panels. The water supply is done by capturing a source of drinking water, and the waste water is discharged into a drainable basin.Gersa Valley, quiet and picturesque, isolated between Telcișor Valley and Parva Valley, has a good view of the mountains with an opening towards the peak of Tibleș.

We don't think there was a better place for this fairy tale property than Covasna, the place with virgin forests untouched by man for over 300 years. It is therefore logical that the property is surrounded by dense forest and that wood is permanently present inside as well, creating a warm, calm and inviting atmosphere. Hatod Manor is designed to receive 14 guests, being set up as a chic guesthouse. The main building has a special architecture, the slanting beams creating a fairytale atmosphere. With two communicating kitchens, two bathrooms, an office and a living room with a fireplace, the ground floor is a perfectly arranged common space. The mansion has four double and two triple rooms – bright, quiet spaces with modern bathrooms and solid wood furniture; heavy drapes keep the cold, or frost, away and invite relaxation. A wood-burning sauna, a Praid salt barrrel-- style bath, a jacuzzi and a separate living room for movies and games were also created for well-being. Children enjoy an area specially designed for them, with an outdoor playground. For parties there is a terrace, barbecue and a professional sound system, while for exploring the area the mansion provides bicycles and an ATV. The stone-walled cellar is a good home for the owner's wine collection. Illuminated green spaces and wooden outbuildings contribute to the fairytale atmosphere. The town of Ozunca Bai is located only 60 km from Brașov and 246 km to Bucharest. Those interested in exploring the area will be overwhelmed by the countless options – neo-baroque castles and fortified churches, water mills, stables, adventure parks, wildlife observatories (ostriches and bears), bike trails, horse riding and fishing and of course, mineral waters, the skunks and traditional baths.

Looking towards the street, an mansion like a copy of a dream palace proudly wears its slender straight tower while waiting for its new owner. With frames that seem to hold tall and elegant windows in their arms, the façade is very inviting through the open staircase looking towards the gate to welcome those who are interested, for example, in the recently opened baths in Ocna Mureș or those who have things to do in Alba, Cluj or Mureș, all the municipalities being less than an hour away (the Cluj-Sebeș highway is 10 km away, and the Transilvania highway 25 km away, while Cluj, Târgu Mureș and Sibiu airports are also close). The 16 rooms of the mansion lend themselves to being arranged as tourist accommodation in this locality with a history of but also the future of a spa resort with salt baths. With spacious rooms, tall windows, elegant double doors and a superb beautifully restored oak parquet the interior is permissive and generous. The central common area has a beautiful original stove and the atmosphere of a ballroom awaiting its dancers. The building has solid walls of solid brick and is equipped with three-phase electricity, water, natural gas, hydrophore, gas-fired boilers, treatment plant and septic tank; the sewerage is in the process of completion. There is also a wine cellar with a brick vault, cellars and outbuildings for storage plus parking spaces on 800 m2 of paved and lit yard. Firs trees, walnuts, hazelnuts, apples, pears, cork oaks, acacias, willows, a stream at the bottom of the garden and a small fish pond provide the natural setting for relaxation, and the swimming pool and the tennis court with night lights incites the spirit of friendly competition. The mansion was built by Romulus Triteanu, who remained in the big history as the first Romanian station master after 1918 in the Feldioara railway junction, today Războieni-Cetate, and in the small history as the cousin of that Lazar Triteanu, Orthodox bishop of Romanian, whose wife, Veturia, acclaimed soloist, the only Romanian translator accepted by Hitler in the relationship with Ion Antonescu and alleged spy, later became the wife of Octavian Goga. Restored after 1998, the manor functioned as a 4-margaret guesthouse from 2008 until recently. Compartmentalization also allows use as a company headquarters, sports center, casino, cultural center, hunting lodge or private residence. Photo Florin Pepene
