Set where the town gives way to the forest, in a secluded part of Breaza near the Lac de Verde estate, this property extends across more than 2,500 sq m of land and offers a total built area of 670 sq m. The main villa, guest house and mature garden form a private estate surrounded by greenery, away from the busier resorts of the Prahova Valley. Breaza is valued for its clean air, mild climate and wooded hills. Its location provides convenient access to Bucharest and the principal mountain destinations of the Prahova Valley, while the town centre remains only a few minutes away. The proximity of Lac de Verde adds one of the area’s best-known leisure destinations, recognised for its golf course and expansive natural setting. The grounds are arranged across several terraces, connected by stone pathways and complemented by a gazebo, barbecue area and tennis court that may be restored or converted into a swimming pool. Fir trees, fruit trees, roses, peonies, hydrangeas, lavender and irises create a mature garden whose atmosphere changes with every season, surrounding the estate with an established and richly planted landscape. The main villa is arranged over a lower ground floor, ground floor, first floor and attic, with generous spaces for family life, guests, work and relaxation. The lower ground floor includes two garages, two cellars, a technical room and a storage room. On the ground floor, the living room is divided into two reception areas and accompanied by two additional rooms, a kitchen, pantry, balcony and an enclosed terrace that can be enjoyed throughout the year. The first floor comprises four bedrooms, two bathrooms, an open balcony and a second enclosed terrace. The attic adds a spacious open-plan area with its own bathroom and balcony. It may be arranged as a private office, library, studio, lounge or dedicated hobby room. Positioned separately from the main villa, the guest house offers privacy for family and friends. Its lower ground floor includes two bedrooms, a bathroom and a covered terrace, while the ground floor is designed as an open-plan space with access to a second terrace. The building may also serve as a creative studio, private office, wellness area or independent residence. The direct relationship with the forest remains one of the estate’s defining qualities. Mature vegetation surrounds the buildings, the windows open towards the garden, and the generous grounds allow for the creation of additional outdoor living and relaxation areas. The property is equally suited to permanent residence or use as a private retreat, combining the tranquillity of an extensive natural setting with convenient access to Breaza and the wider Prahova Valley.

Just 50 minutes from Bucharest, Villa Ana offers the comfort of a generous residence within the 12 hectares of natural landscape that shape Domeniul Greaca. Open scenery, abundant vegetation and far-reaching horizons create a contemporary retreat in southern Muntenia, close to the Danube, where the pace of the city gives way to tranquillity, fresh air and days spent outdoors. Set on a 660 sqm plot, the villa is arranged across the ground and first floors and offers 300 sqm of usable space, with a generous layout suited both to a permanent or holiday residence and to the development of a hospitality concept. Four large terraces extend the interiors towards the garden and can accommodate distinct areas for relaxation, outdoor dining and social gatherings, while also creating attractive possibilities for rental stays, private getaways and experiences designed for families or small groups. One of the property’s most important advantages is its direct access to the facilities of Domeniul Greaca. Outdoor swimming pools for adults and children, sports courts, a fitness area, sauna, restaurant with its own kitchen, terraces, children’s play areas and the expansive green grounds create a complete setting for relaxation and recreation just steps from the house. Outdoor activities, walks through nature and the lively summer atmosphere around the pool bring the character of a private resort to every stay. The manor house with its Neo-Romanian architecture, broad lawns and exotic outdoor terraces give the estate a distinctive identity, enhanced by spectacular sunsets and uninterrupted views across the surrounding landscape. Its proximity to Bucharest preserves a convenient connection to the city without compromising the privacy and freedom of a property immersed in nature. Its position within Domeniul Greaca and immediate access to the estate’s resort infrastructure further strengthen the villa’s investment potential. The property could support an Airbnb concept, private retreats or themed stays, benefiting from an established ecosystem of services, activities and amenities without the need to recreate them independently around the house. Villa Ana therefore represents a rare opportunity to combine the space of a private home, the advantages of an extensive natural estate and the potential of a property suited both to personal use and to an investment in hospitality.

Part of the SOL Residence development in Borhanci, the house brings together contemporary architecture, interiors designed by TADA Form and the high-performance standards of Passive House Premium. Natural materials, custom-made furniture and a minimalist aesthetic give the interiors a cohesive, carefully considered identity. At the heart of the house is the 70.13 sqm living area, where the lounge, dining space and kitchen open onto the terrace and private garden. The 184 sqm of usable space includes three bedrooms, a home office and three bathrooms, with a layout that maintains a clear balance between shared and private areas. The heat pump and heat recovery ventilation system maintain a constant indoor temperature while providing a continuous supply of filtered air, with considerably reduced energy consumption. Smart Home technology, infrastructure for photovoltaic panels, an electric vehicle charging station and two parking spaces further enhance the home’s forward-thinking character. Borhanci is one of Cluj-Napoca’s most rapidly developing residential areas, offering quick access to the city centre and close proximity to the future Borhanci Education Hub. The prestigious Transylvania College is only 10 minutes from the house, while Cluj-Napoca International Airport can be reached in 15 minutes. In this setting, the property stands out through a combination still rarely encountered on the local market: contemporary architecture, signature interior design and technical standards conceived with the future in mind.

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.

A privileged region of Romania, home to some of the country’s most important historical, cultural, and aristocratic landmarks, Argeș still preserves the rare charm of old noble estates, where the aura of a bygone aristocratic world continues to endure with elegance and discretion. Among the rolling hills, orchards, and forests of this history-rich region, in Călinești, stands a Neo-Romanian manor that still evokes the refinement of an era when architecture was built to last, and residences were defined by identity, character, and prestige. Set on a generous 9,438 sqm plot, the property impresses from the very first glance through its noble and perfectly balanced presence. The Neo-Romanian architecture, with elegant arches, sculpted columns, and harmonious proportions, remains to this day a tribute to the aristocratic estates of the past, giving the domain a timeless appearance that is difficult to replicate today. The manor features a 378 sqm footprint and is arranged over Basement + Ground Floor + First Floor, each space having a clearly defined role within the residential concept of its era. Brought into the present day, the interior still preserves the warm and distinguished atmosphere of an authentic noble residence. The classic solid wood furniture, natural textures, light filtered through large windows, and generous volumes create an elegant and welcoming ambiance, where every room seems to tell a story. The ground floor is primarily dedicated to daytime living, featuring the kitchen, an expansive living area with multiple functional spaces for dining, relaxation, and social gatherings, as well as three additional rooms that may serve as bedrooms or offices. The first floor is defined by a large central room with generous glazed surfaces and an open connection to the terrace, details that transform it into an ideal social area or a refined lounge for winter evenings marked by notes of cognac and cigars. Also on this level are five bedrooms and two spectacular terraces: the main terrace overlooking the front façade, adjacent to the upstairs lounge area, and a secondary lateral terrace accessible from two of the bedrooms. One of the property’s most remarkable features is the covered terrace framed by Neo-Romanian arches — a space that invites peaceful mornings, summer dinners, and long evenings overlooking the mature garden and the green landscape of Argeș. The entire estate breathes intimacy, balance, and refinement. The basement is a blank canvas, ready to be transformed into a masterpiece tailored to its future owner’s vision: a wine cellar, a cigar room, or a private spa are only a few of the possibilities this space can accommodate. The mature and carefully composed garden perfectly complements the character of the estate. Ornamental trees, rich vegetation, and discreet pathways create the feeling of a private retreat, far removed from the rhythm of the city. This is the kind of property that impresses not through excess, but through atmosphere — through that natural and difficult-to-define elegance that only truly authentic places possess. Beyond its value as a primary residence or exclusive holiday retreat, the manor also offers remarkable investment potential. The scale of the land, the distinctive architecture, and its unique character make it ideally suited for transformation into a boutique hotel, private retreat, premium event venue, or hospitality project dedicated to refined and authentic experiences.

Set in one of Bucharest’s most exclusive and difficult-to-replicate residential positions, this contemporary villa redefines the relationship between architecture, light, and water. Properties with direct, unobstructed frontage to Lake Floreasca are exceptionally rare, while this residence transforms the privilege of its setting into a living experience shaped around the lake, privacy, and expansive spaces designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Full-height windows present throughout nearly every room constantly open the interiors toward panoramic lake views, flooding the spaces with natural light and creating the atmosphere of an urban retreat with a permanent holiday feel. The panoramic rooftop terrace, spanning over 150 sqm and equipped with a cooking island, was conceived for large gatherings, “al fresco” dining, and generous lounge areas, becoming one of the property’s most remarkable features. The villa was nominated at the 2004 Architecture Annual Awards and was designed by architect Viorel Hurduc, professor at the Ion Mincu University of Architecture and Urbanism and the first elected president of the Union of Architects of Romania. Reflecting on the project, the architect stated: “There is certainly a certain hypocrisy in this very simple space, yet its simplicity is in fact extremely constructed; behind the flat surface lies an entire technical process that ultimately allowed the materials to settle into perfect harmony.” Organized across multiple levels, the residence comprises seven rooms, including four bedrooms, complemented by four dressing rooms and fluid interiors constantly oriented toward the lake. The first-floor bedrooms each benefit from their own bathroom and dressing area, while the entire upper level is dedicated to the master suite, conceived as a private apartment featuring a bedroom of over 35 sqm with its own terrace overlooking the lake, two dressing rooms, and two bathrooms. The living area brings together the lounge, dining space, and fitness room in a seamless succession of interiors opening toward the water. The property also includes a kitchen, dedicated laundry room, garage, and parking solutions for up to five vehicles, all discreetly integrated into an architectural composition designed for contemporary comfort and uncompromising functionality. At courtyard level, the terraces and outdoor living areas were carefully designed to create multiple open-air relaxation spaces, allowing the residence to be experienced differently throughout the day. The outdoor swimming pool further enhances the character of this discreet and exclusive urban retreat. The panoramic rooftop terrace acts as a spectacular extension of the living space, offering several areas dedicated to relaxation, dining, and social gatherings, complemented by a bar and sweeping views over Lake Floreasca. Accessible directly via the Schindler elevator that travels throughout the entire residence, the rooftop becomes a true urban lounge with the atmosphere of a private resort. The finishes and amenities reinforce the property’s premium character through marble and granite surfaces, vertical wood cladding elements, solid hardwood flooring, aluminum window frames with insulated glazing, centralized climate control, mixed underfloor and radiator heating, electric blinds, and technical spaces discreetly integrated into the architecture of the home.

Offering 202 sq m of usable space on a 570 sq m plot, the residence features generous interiors and a well-planned layout designed to accommodate a variety of lifestyles. The bright living area opens directly onto the terrace and garden, while four bedrooms and a dedicated home office provide the flexibility to adapt the home to the future owner's individual needs. The garden is one of the property's defining features. Its generous size creates a private outdoor setting with ample opportunities for further landscaping and personalization, whether envisioned as elegant entertaining areas, outdoor dining spaces, a children's play garden, or a refined landscape design tailored to the owner's lifestyle. The gated community benefits from private access through an electric entrance gate, providing both security and a peaceful residential environment. At the same time, the location offers exceptional connectivity to the American School of Bucharest, the area's renowned international schools, Henri Coandă International Airport, premium shopping destinations, restaurants, and the major office hubs of northern Bucharest. The property's versatility further enhances its appeal. Its layout and prestigious location make it equally suitable as a family home or as a distinguished setting for executive offices, consulting firms, or other professional uses that benefit from a highly accessible and well-established address.

Located in the heart of "Paradisul Verde", Corbeanca, this villa offers one of the increasingly rare qualities found near Bucharest: an 835 sq m plot surrounded by mature greenery, within one of the most sought-after residential communities north of the capital. Defined by spacious gardens, tree-lined streets, and a peaceful atmosphere, the neighborhood provides a natural setting while remaining within easy reach of the city. With a built area of 174 sq m, the residence is centered around a bright living area, where the double-height ceiling and expansive openings toward the garden create an immediate sense of space. Large glazed surfaces allow natural light to fill the interiors throughout the day, while uninterrupted views of the surrounding greenery make the landscape an integral part of the home. The garden is undoubtedly the property's defining feature. Its generous scale and mature vegetation create the feeling of a private park, offering both privacy and the freedom to shape the outdoor environment according to the future owner's vision.

The property enjoys convenient access to Bucharest, Henri Coandă International Airport, the leading international schools in the northern part of the city, and the capital's main business districts, offering the balance between a nature-oriented lifestyle and excellent urban connectivity. For those seeking more than simply a home, this property presents the opportunity to create a private retreat in a setting defined by greenery, where the exceptional grounds are every bit as valuable as the residence itself.

The property may also be acquired together with the restaurant business, allowing its future owner to continue operations immediately in an already established location.

Its current configuration lends itself to a wide range of uses, including corporate headquarters, medical practice, offices, a boutique hotel, restaurant, mixed-use investment, or a combination of commercial and residential functions.

In the historic center of Timișoara, within one of the city’s most valuable and representative urban settings, this rare property brings together two buildings positioned on a generous plot of approximately 1,159 sq m, offering a combination of versatility, presence, and accessibility that is increasingly difficult to replicate. With a total usable area of approximately 586 sq m and up to 17 parking spaces, the property opens multiple possibilities for use, from a private clinic or company headquarters to an exclusive residence or boutique hospitality concept. The main building, positioned at the street front, stands out through its strong urban presence and approximately 463 sq m of usable space distributed across basement, ground floor, and attic levels. The current layout includes multiple spacious rooms, reception areas, and auxiliary spaces, naturally accommodating both residential functions and professional activities requiring representation and operational flexibility.

In the village of Cubulcut, approximately 55 km from Oradea, stands Bonis Manor, a property whose significance extends beyond its architectural presence into the historical memory of one of the most defining periods in Central European history. Associated with notable events and figures of the 19th century, the estate preserves a rare identity shaped at the intersection of heritage, tradition, and history. Historical accounts and the genealogical archives of the Baranyi family suggest that during the Hungarian Revolution of 1848–1849, the property briefly served as a refuge for the Holy Crown of St. Stephen, one of the most important symbols of Hungarian statehood. As the revolutionary government led by Lajos Kossuth retreated toward Debrecen, the crown was reportedly transported in secret by Sámuel Bónis and his associate Josipovics, disguised as cattle merchants, transforming this place into a discreet witness to an episode of remarkable historical and symbolic significance. Set on approximately 6,635 sq m of land, the property includes a residence with a built area of approximately 417 sq m and ten rooms, preserving the characteristic expression of 19th-century rural noble estates. Balanced proportions, high ceilings, elegantly proportioned windows, and a partially vaulted cellar define an architectural language that continues to retain much of its original identity. Today, the property requires a complete restoration process, with certain areas significantly affected by the passage of time, including portions of the roof structure. Yet this stage also presents a rare opportunity for an intervention capable of reviving its authentic character and redefining its future. Recent rehabilitation initiatives aim to preserve the original architectural expression as faithfully as possible, creating the foundation for its transformation into a private residence with a distinct identity, a boutique hospitality concept, or a cultural project built around a history that is difficult to replicate.

Ferch Manor, built in 1886 in Deta, approximately 45 km south of Timișoara, is one of those rare properties whose identity is shaped not by scale or opulence, but by the authenticity of a story carefully preserved and carried forward through time. Originally conceived as the residence of Dr. Josef Ferch and later restored by an Austrian family, the property retains the character of a 19th century residence while embracing a contemporary purpose centered around hospitality, culture, and authentic experiences. With a generous built area and a layout comprising 12 rooms on the ground floor level, the manor reveals its character through details that have endured across generations: the original wood-paneled entrance hall, the library, the smoking room, historic Art Nouveau ceramic stoves, and heritage elements that create a distinctive atmosphere throughout the interiors. The functional basement, featuring generous ceiling height and a structure of metal beams and brick vaults, together with the expansive attic space, adds significant potential for future expansion or reinterpretation. The exterior continues the same narrative. The garden of over 5,000 sqm, accessed through the property's characteristic arcade, incorporates mature greenery, an orchard, dedicated camping areas, and a range of complementary spaces. Two camping zones equipped with their own facilities, garages and workshop areas with capacity for up to eight vehicles, dual vehicle access, and approximately 20 on-site parking spaces further enhance the property's versatility and support a wide variety of future concepts. Location represents one of the property's strongest attributes. Situated in Banat, one of Romania's most dynamic and developed regions, it benefits from proximity to Timișoara, an important economic, academic, and cultural center with an international airport and direct connections to numerous European destinations. This setting creates a rare balance between the tranquility of an authentic environment and convenient access to infrastructure, services, and steadily growing tourism flows. At the same time, the region offers numerous attractions that strengthen the appeal of such a property, including Banat's architectural and multicultural heritage, natural reserves and scenic landscapes, spa destinations, villages with a strong local identity, and access to some of western Romania's most remarkable natural settings. Experiential tourism and the growing interest in authentic destinations have continued to expand in recent years, both among domestic and international audiences, increasing the relevance of properties of this nature. Already operating as a hospitality and cultural venue, Ferch Manor offers opportunities that extend beyond its current use. The property can naturally accommodate the development of a boutique hospitality concept, a regionally inspired retreat, a venue for private and corporate events, a cultural center, or a distinctive private residence. The result is a property with an established identity, where history, functionality, and future potential come together in a way that is difficult to replicate.

In the long history of the Leordeni, a village which was first documented in 18th of May 1526 by the voievode (local prince) Radu de la Afumaţi, we can find extraordinary specificities from the evolution of the Romanian society along the great noble families which shaped it. Leordeni, cornerstone of important dynasties – Leurdenii, Băleanu, Golescu, Lahovary or Kretzulescu – was home to imposing residences and domains corresponding to the great power and reputation of their owners. One of the last great lords in Leordeni was Nicolae Kretzulescu (Crețulescu) (1812-1900) founding father of the Romanian Academy and a stated liberal appointed Prime Minister three times. Nicolae Kretzulescu, Constantin Brâncoveanu and Iordache Kretzulescu’s heir of Leordeni, built an impressive estate which later has been inherited by his daughter, Anna, who married Lahovary. At the same time Kretzulescu was managing his estates, Nicolae (Nae) Gussi (1830-1901), appeared on the scenery as administrator of the Golescu family’s fortune – another great family in Leordeni. After 1880, Gussi becomes the owner of the Golescu estates which were neighbouring those belonging to the Prime Minister. The hostility between Kretzulescu and Gussi was notorious, and the economic struggles between them both culminated in a series of lawsuits at the end of the nineteenth century. The variety of lands (arable, vineyards, forests) defining the estates of the Leordeni would evolve over time through various agrarian reforms, landing or expropriation laws, inheritances, or successions. And in the interwar period these testified the last two great families. The Gussi family (Alexandru, Traian, Paul and Elena) and the Lahovary family (through Anna) held together approximately 550 ha, plus another 100 ha of vineyards. They were in fact the descendants of Nicholas Kretzulescu and Nae Gussi. The Golescu-Gussi estate evolved notably through the two centuries of history. The first version of the manor was built by the Golescu family, probably during the life of Iordache Golescu, who also built the Golescu Church in the proximity of the estate. Subsequently, after Nicolae Gussi’s ownership, the property changed, so that after 1900, Alexandru Gussi (1864-1947) revolutionized the manor and the entire estate. In fact, Alexandru, a magistrate and a politician with an important activity in the Muscel Bar and Prefecture, would devote much of his career and life to the modernization of his native lands. Owning the old house of the Golesti, Alexander rebuilt it between 1938-1939, making it a truly monumental construction. After 1949, the entire domain was nationalized and had different functionalities serving the communist institutions (the office of "Sovrom Petrol", IAS and the City Hall).

Just 20–30 minutes from Cluj-Napoca, in the village of Sălicea, "La Mesteceni" introduces a hospitality concept centered around wellness, relaxation, and private experiences, set within a discreet natural environment while remaining closely connected to one of Romania’s most dynamic urban and economic centers. Conceived as a multifunctional retreat, the estate combines the infrastructure of a premium boutique resort with the flexibility required for a variety of hospitality and wellbeing concepts. Set on approximately 7,762 sqm of land arranged across three natural terraces, with a built area of approximately 1,218 sqm, the complex integrates 32 rooms and 23 bathrooms or sanitary facilities, organized in a way that supports both hospitality operations and private or corporate use. At the entrance of the property lies the dedicated SPA and wellness building, complemented by a landscaped parking area with 32 spaces, while the main building hosts the 10 en-suite guest rooms, restaurant, and summer terrace positioned beneath the shade of a mature beech tree, a defining element of the estate’s natural atmosphere and identity. Descending along the green pathways and terraced outdoor areas, the property opens toward the outdoor pool zone, mini sports court, and spaces dedicated to relaxation and outdoor activities. The entire estate has been designed to offer privacy, tranquility, and a direct connection with nature, within a setting equally suited for individual wellbeing experiences, private gatherings, or corporate events. The wellness component represents one of the central features of the property, bringing together an indoor swimming pool, dry sauna, steam sauna, and three dedicated massage and therapy rooms. The outdoor pool, relaxation areas, and direct connection to the surrounding natural landscape complete the atmosphere of a retreat designed for reconnection, balance, and personalized experiences. The restaurant, conference room, professional kitchen, laundry facilities, and technical spaces complete the infrastructure required for the efficient operation of the estate, while the versatility of the property allows for multiple directions of development: wellness retreat, corporate retreat and team building center, premium boutique resort, yoga and coaching retreat center, private events venue, or a concept focused on recovery and wellbeing. Its proximity to Cluj-Napoca adds a significant strategic advantage. In recent years, the region has become one of Romania’s most dynamic destinations, constantly attracting both domestic and international visitors drawn by the combination of nature, gastronomy, culture, and contemporary lifestyle. Cluj-Napoca has established itself as one of Eastern Europe’s leading creative, academic, and technology hubs, directly contributing to the growth of the premium hospitality and experiential tourism sectors throughout the region. Nearby, some of Transylvania’s most appreciated natural and leisure attractions further enhance the appeal of the location, including the forests and hiking routes of the Apuseni Mountains, Salina Turda, regarded as one of Europe’s most spectacular underground redevelopment projects, as well as the lakes and recreational areas surrounding Cluj. The natural setting surrounding the estate supports a wide range of outdoor activities, from hiking and nature trails to biking, e-biking, ATV, and dirt bike experiences, offering a balance between urban accessibility and the atmosphere of a destination dedicated to relaxation and outdoor living. Through its scale, infrastructure, and positioning, "La Mesteceni" stands out as a rare property in the proximity of Cluj-Napoca, capable of supporting both a mature hospitality operation and the development of a premium concept aligned with the evolving direction of experiential and wellness tourism.

Set in the heart of the Vrancea Mountains, along the road connecting Focșani and Brașov, just beyond Putna Waterfall and near the Tișița Gorges Nature Reserve, Casa Tisaru offers an authentic hospitality experience shaped by nature, architecture, and local tradition.

Positioned on the main street of the former Torocko, within an architectural setting of remarkable identity, the residence reflects the evolution of a community that transitioned from iron processing during the Austro-Hungarian Empire into a refined bourgeois culture, still evident today in the order and character of its built environment.

Bordered by the river and the forest, the property is perfectly insulated from the fertile lands of the area - a belt of trees jealously embraces the land and protects it from prying eyes. Seen from above, by the birds of the sky, the property appears as a small cheerful area on with a cute little house on it. The ribbon of chess-like tiles meanders through the bodies of houses and guides the gaze to the perfectly mowed lawn that borders it. The main body, called the chalet, has a hochoparter which is reached by a wooden staircase that continues as a balcony surrounding the building on one side. On the ground floor there is the kitchen; upstairs and in the attic there are three bedrooms; the matrimonial one, generous and bright, enjoys a fireplace in the soothing colors of the sand. The rooms have ceilings entirely covered with wood or are crossed by decorative beams that integrate the space in nature. Another body houses a lounge equipped with sofas, a table for 12 people, a fireplace, a kitchen and a bathroom, thus being the hospitable host for elegant events. In addition to the recreational options, there is a 60 sqm indoor swimming pool, heated by air and water pumps. Also here there are a sauna, bathrooms and locker room, a technical room and, upstairs, a guest bedroom with bathroom. Heating is done with heat pumps; the water comes from a well drilled at 40m depth with a flow rate of 4 m3 / h, which practically offers the possibility of bottling water if so desired. The 9000sqm plot allowed the arrangement of a 25x10 m pond between sandstone edges, an organic vegetable greenhouse and a playground with a swing complex and other challenges for the little ones. Geoagiu de Sus is a quiet village with a once episcopal church, founded by a lord of Wallachia with fiefs in southern Transylvania - Radu cel Mare, Neagoe Basarab or Radu de la Afumați, as historian Nicolae Iorga believes. Today, the 18th century mural painting shows post-Brâncovenesc features. Cluj Airport is about 60 km away, which provides quick and easy access while Alba Iulia is only 23 km away and brings a wealth of shopping options, restaurants and cultural activities. 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.

Located in the prestigious Sector 1 of Bucharest, this exceptional 870 sqm villa stands among the most remarkable historic residences to emerge on the market in recent years. Built in 1914 and designed by Victor Ștefănescu, personal architect to King Carol I, the residence is a refined and authentic expression of Neo-Romanian architecture, preserved with remarkable fidelity to its original form for over a century. Commissioned by Victor Ionescu, Romania’s first ambassador to Portugal and brother of the prominent statesman and former Prime Minister Take Ionescu, the villa transcends its architectural value to embody a meaningful chapter of Romanian history.

Generous proportions define the living spaces, with ceiling heights reaching 4.4 meters on the ground floor and 4 meters on the upper level, while expansive halls exceeding 50 sqm create a rare sense of scale and elegance. The central oak staircase, a true statement piece, is crowned by a monumental painting by Stoica Dumitrescu, depicting Stephen the Great rewarding seven peasants following a victory against the Ottoman Empire. Original parquet flooring, stained glass, marble fireplaces, silk wall coverings, and oak paneling contribute to an atmosphere of timeless refinement, complemented by stucco detailing and distinctive exterior decorative elements inspired by chestnut leaves, a rare feature within Neo-Romanian architecture. Wrought iron accents and cast-iron radiators adorned with floral motifs complete the residence’s authentic character. Unexpectedly for such a central location, the villa reveals a private garden of approximately 720 sqm, a true urban sanctuary.

During this period, it welcomed many of the era’s most celebrated actors, becoming a vibrant backdrop for Romania’s “Golden Generation” of cinema and adding yet another layer to its enduring legacy.
