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.

Nestled within the enchanting landscapes of Dobra, the Poenaru Manor stands as a testament to the grandeur and elegance of a bygone era. Surrounded by lush vegetation and green hills, this stately residence exudes an air of mystery and historical significance, having once been the cherished abode of the illustrious boyar family of Poenaru. One of the most prominent boyar families of Oltenia, the Poenaru dynasty is a large one, with important representatives in the political, cultural and scientific life of Romania during the last two centuries. The story of the Dobra domain starts with Costadin (Dinca) Poenaru (1789-1874) who inherits and then extends family’s lands all across Mehedinți county. But is is Constantin Poenaru (1860-1946) the one that puts his entire life and energy into developing the Dobra Domain to what it is today. Approaching the manor, one is immediately struck by the imposing façade that speaks of both opulence and noble heritage. The architecture seamlessly combines Classical and Renaissance influences, resulting in a harmonious blend of intricate stonework, sober features but also delicate ornate details. As you step inside, a sense of timelessness envelops you. The interior exudes an aura of faded grandeur, with high vaulted ceilings adorned by old bricks walls that can tell some century old tales and historical events. The grand foyer, illuminated by the soft glow of antique chandeliers, leads to a series of once lavishly decorated rooms. The heart of the manor is undoubtedly the grand hall, a space designed to host extravagant gatherings and events. Towering windows allow natural light to cascade onto the large halls that lead to rooms who used to be used for living, for doing business or for spending time with friends. The expansive gardens that envelop the Poenaru Manor are a verdant paradise, with a large wallnuts orchard, vibrant flowerbeds, and meandering pathways that invite contemplative strolls. The domain contains a series of very valuable annex buildings: small renovated house (128 sqm), a beautiful former barn (166 sqm), the large storage (3 levels on a 327 sqm footprint) and a small block of apartments (2 levels on a 174 sqm footprint). The total land plot has 11 hectares , out of which 7 are owned and 4 are leased from the city hall. While time has inevitably left its mark on the Poenaru Manor, it remains a well preserved cherished jewel in Dobra's and Oltenia’s historical tapestry, a living testament to the legacy of the boyar family that once graced its halls. It can be used as such, as a beautiful residence for permanent living or for vacation, or can be turned into a small farm, a beautiful boutique hotel or a medical care center.

In the heart of Transylvania lies a property unlike any other — a home that captures the essence of a bygone era while embracing the comfort and refinement of modern living. Lovingly restored and reimagined by an award-winning interior designer, this residence is a masterful blend of traditional craftsmanship, natural materials, and contemporary sophistication. A Thoughtful Restoration The estate comprises several buildings, each carefully renewed with respect for its history. The main house, facing the street, and its adjoining annex have undergone a complete structural renovation. New roofs, crafted from reclaimed tiles, have been fitted with breathable membranes, allowing for seamless insulation and the future conversion of the attic into three to four additional bedrooms. All structural work followed authentic Transylvanian techniques — brick walls have been reinforced and restored using lime plaster and natural materials, without a trace of concrete. This commitment to traditional craftsmanship ensures not only timeless beauty but also long-term stability. Living Spaces with Character and Potential The main residence currently offers two spacious bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and a bathroom featuring both a bathtub and a walk-in shower. Plumbing is in place for an additional ensuite bathroom, making this home ideal for boutique-style Airbnb rentals or comfortable family living. The adjacent annex is currently an open-air summer lounge — a charming space envisioned to become a guesthouse with an upstairs bedroom, outdoor kitchen, and bathroom (with all connections already installed). Beyond these, the former animal shelter and hay barn await transformation into a three-bedroom private residence, while the main barn — an impressive open space with dramatic proportions — has been conceived as a public or entertainment area, featuring a kitchen, dining hall, and mezzanine games room. It’s an exceptional setting for private events, culinary experiences, or artist retreats. Modern Comfort, Hidden in Tradition While the exterior whispers of centuries past, the infrastructure speaks entirely to the present. The property is fully connected to village water and sewage, newly rewired, and equipped with high-speed internet and exterior security cameras. The basement, once damp, has been meticulously drained and fitted with a gravel-based humidity control system, creating a perfectly dry and usable space. An electric boiler provides domestic hot water, and wiring is in place for energy-efficient ceramic radiators powered by three-phase electricity. Authentic Finishes and Elegant Details All façades have been refinished with natural lime-based German paint, chosen for its breathability and durability. The main gate, shutters, and doors have been hand-restored, preserving their original warmth and patina. Inside, natural wood floors treated with oil and wax run throughout, complementing the serene neutral palette. The kitchen is both beautiful and functional, equipped with a Smeg range cooker, dishwasher, and custom-built storage. The bathroom, where heritage meets design, features underfloor heating, British-imported fixtures, a restored original bathtub, and a vintage cabinet repurposed as a vanity. A Vision for Refined Rural Living This property is not merely a house — it is a story of revival. A sanctuary where history and modern design coexist in perfect balance, offering extraordinary potential as a boutique hospitality retreat, family compound, or private country residence. Set amid the poetic landscape of Transylvania, it invites you to experience the rare beauty of authentic craftsmanship, reimagined for a new era.
