luxury houses with terrace for sale Valeni, Romania

One of the very few fully renovated manors available in Bucharest's vicinity is located in Vadu-Lat, Giurgiu county. Only 51 km away from Bucharest, Radu Iliescu Manor can instantly become a permanent residence away from the buzz of the big city but with a fairly easy access to all its interest points, or it can become a weekend or vacation residence with all facilities and amenities needed. Built in 1900, the manor is listed as a historical and architectural monument of local importance, and it was fully renovated with a lot of attention for the details and great care for restoration and preservation of the original elements, and then furnished and decorated in line with its character and its history. The manor is set on a 3.834 land plot, with turf, stone alleys, ornamental landscape and a big orchard with fruit trees. We find also a few additional smaller constructions: a gazebo, a stand-alone "house of the guardian" that is fully renovated and ready-to-use, an old barn that is restored and used for decorative purpose, and a building that was used as stables and that is now transformed in 3 distinct rooms used as workshop, distillery and storage. The manor is built on two levels, semi-basement and ground floor, and since 2009 it is owned by a family who took care of the restoration process, a very thorough one, made using traditional methods and materials. After renovation the place was tastefully designed, from the garden's landscape all the way to furniture and the authentic decor pieces.If what you want is a property with an aristocratic heritage, that looks and feels authentic and natural, that happily blends together nature and history, then the Vadu-Lat manor may be your best choice!

Set in the hills of Ștefănești, Argeș, only 4 kilometres from Pitești, this contemporary residence occupies a 1,977 sqm plot bordered by forest on two sides. Its elevated position opens onto sweeping views of the town and surrounding landscape, in a secluded setting where the vegetation and distance from the street preserve a rare sense of quiet so close to Pitești. A private road climbs towards the property, passing the photovoltaic panels that serve the house along the way. As it leaves the public road behind, the sounds of the town gradually disappear, and the residence, garden and panorama above Ștefănești come into view. Urban amenities nevertheless remain within easy reach. Completed in 2014, the house was privately built for the owners’ family, with close attention to materials, execution and lasting comfort. It was not conceived as a resale project, an approach reflected in the solidity of the construction, its technical infrastructure and the many details tailored to everyday life. Offering around 600 sqm of built area, the residence has a five-room layout comprising three bedrooms, two with dressing rooms, a living area and an office, as well as three bathrooms. A sauna, laundry and drying room, wine cellar, garage and technical spaces complete the interior. Generous windows and the openness towards the landscape bring abundant light and far-reaching views into the home. The generous interior comfortably accommodates both the family’s daily routine and larger gatherings, while retaining an intimate residential atmosphere. The wine cellar comprises two separate rooms, one for storing the collection and another arranged for tasting and relaxation. The sauna creates a private wellness area that can be enjoyed throughout the year. Underfloor heating and ceiling cooling provide thermal comfort. The temperature is adjusted from a control panel concealed within a painting; part of the artwork can be removed to reveal it. Technology therefore remains easily accessible without interrupting the visual character of the interior. The infrastructure includes an electric generator, photovoltaic panels with battery storage, a voltage regulator and a de-icing system for the private road. The installations are also served by a separate technical building. A tall, dedicated lightning-protection mast is another major investment, particularly valuable given the property’s elevated and exposed position. The garden unfolds across two levels, connected by planted paths and green tunnels. The natural gradient defines areas for play, relaxation and outdoor living, creating different viewpoints and routes through the grounds. Children have their own playground, while a slide links the two garden levels. The swimming pool is positioned in front of the house, within the main garden and facing the open landscape. It serves as a place for daytime relaxation and a focal point for outdoor gatherings, framed by the residence, mature vegetation and views over the town. On the upper garden level, the outdoor dining area is equipped with a summer kitchen, barbecue, oven, refrigerators and television. Its position above the rest of the grounds provides views over the pool, garden and playground, allowing parents to watch the children from a comfortable setting prepared for guests and long evenings outdoors. The size of the plot leaves ample room for future personalisation. Additional play spaces or new landscaping can be introduced according to the family’s needs without crowding the grounds or compromising the privacy of the house. The exterior reveals a different character throughout the day: mornings beside the pool, afternoons spent in the garden and evenings around the table and outdoor kitchen on the upper level. From here, the view extends across the entire property towards the lights of Ștefănești and the hills surrounding the town.

Just 6 km from the centre of Pitești, this property offers one of those rare settings in which proximity to the city coexists with the privacy of a 19.28-hectare private estate. The residence is surrounded by 18.73 hectares of its own forest, while the 5,570 sq m arranged around the house include expansive lawns and landscaped flower gardens, opening the home towards a setting that belongs entirely to it. Living on the edge of one’s own forest means more than tranquillity and the absence of immediate neighbours. The scale of the land allows for the creation of private walking trails, relaxation areas, outdoor activity spaces, or additional buildings and leisure facilities. With an estate of this size, the possibilities for personalisation are virtually unlimited, allowing the property to be shaped around the interests, lifestyle, and vision of its future owner. Built in 2020, the villa offers 516 sq m of usable space arranged across the ground floor and attic level, with a layout ideal for family life. Four bedrooms and four bathrooms are complemented by a 67 sq m hobby room that could accommodate a private cinema, fitness studio, library, or relaxation area. The 64 sq m garage provides space for two cars. The interiors bring together carefully selected materials and furnishings, from engineered three-layer wood flooring and solid exotic Meranti wood joinery to Selva furniture in the living room and principal bedroom. Eichholtz armchairs, lighting, and decorative accents appear throughout the house, while the principal bathroom is finished with large-format ceramic slabs. Underfloor heating serves the entire residence, including the garage, while four-season triple-glazed windows contribute to year-round comfort. The water supply is provided by a 140-metre-deep borehole and a private treatment system. Beyond the scale and autonomy of the estate, one of its most remarkable advantages remains its accessibility: the property creates the feeling of a complete retreat into nature while maintaining fast connections to the city centre and the motorway. Few properties combine a private forest of this scale, the freedom to transform the land according to one’s own vision, and the proximity of a major city. It is a rare opportunity to possess a private world of almost 20 hectares without the isolation and compromises usually associated with an estate of such magnitude.
