luxury houses for sale Romania (page 2)

Located in the city center of Caransebes, the building known as Officers' House is dominating its surroundings through its size and the beautiful architecture of the facades. Built in 1884, it served as residence for the families of the officers that were part of the Maria Theresa Border Regiment , offering both accomodation and enterrtainment, as it had a restaurant, casino and a ballroom. Shaped as a trapese, the truly monumental building has a total built area exceeding 6.500 sqm, is opening to 3 streets and has a large inner courtyard. With an overall very good condition, the building underwent serious renovation and consolidation work during the last few years: facades were fully renovated, the windows and doors were reconditioned, new concrete floors were built, the foundation was consolidated and many other repairs and interventions were made. Given the large built area and the location, the building can be considered for a very wide area of functions: it can become a hotel, a public building, a museum, a medical clinic, a university or an office building.

There are houses that you pass by without even noticing they exist and there houses that force you to stop to admire their beauty. It will be impossible to stroll through Bucharest’s city center on Nicolae Iorga Street without stopping for a second to enjoy the architectural perfection of the building signed by Paul Smărăndescu. The main building has a neo-romanian style and was nuilt in 1914 after the the plans of Paul Smărăndescu, while the second building, also featuring the inspiration and the style elements of the first one, was erected later on with the care of Constantin Iotzu. Iosif Pincas was one of the important figures of the interwar Romania and the property he built on 18th Romana Street, as it was called at that time, was supposed to reflect his status and his influence in the social life of those times. Raised in a wealthy Spanish family with jewish origins, Iosif Pincas is also the brother of the famous Spanish painter Pascin. Owner Of the Fusion Bank of Oradea, Iosif Pincas used to own cargo ships, factories, pure breed horses, plenty of properties among which we can highlight the Degenfeld Castle from Balc with a beautiful domain of more than 1000 hectars and a domain in Kaliakra, Bulgaria, and he was considered to be in the top 10 wealthiest men od the interwar Romania. Today the property consists of a land plot of 630 sqm and a total built area of 1704 sqm of total built area in two buildings. The buildings are completely renovated at really high level of quality and the property is now used as an embassy with a ling term lease contract. So the property is a good investment, it is a high value asset that generates a guaranteed long term yield.

The old Constanța, with its historic peninsula, filled with stories and the past of an extraordinary city, is revealed to us today through its architectural richness and the urban eclecticism. Ovidiu Square - the former Independence Square, just like a cornerstone, gathered around and coordinated the development and systematization of the streets that span the Peninsula. The modernization of the area began towards the end of the nineteenth century, so that, after 1910-1920, the streets between the Central Square and the Port were systematized. Near Ovidiu Square, we find a Neo-Romanian villa built in the 1920s. Located in the proximity of the Ovidiu Square, the building seems to have been built after the completion of the communal palace (1922, today the palace hosts the Museum of National History and Archaeology), due to the fact it reminds of the Neo-Romanian style (Neobrâncovenesc) so eloquent in the palace. In fact, the architect who designed the palace, Victor Ştefănescu, became Constanța’s house architect, supervising various other important projects: the Museum of Geology in Bucharest; The Palace of Arts in Carol Park, Ion Jalea Museum or even the Mosque Carol I in Constanta. We can assume that Ştefănescu could have been involved in the design of the present building, which is obviously integrated in the urban plan defined by the Mosque and the current Museum of History. The vintage photographs depict the Neo-Romanian Villa as a perspective of the former Constanța, the western part of the building being often reproduced in the postcards of that time. The house is located in the proximity of some emblematic buildings of the Peninsula, such as Hôtel d'Angleterre, Cabaret Britannia with Metropol Hotel, Carol I Mosque, Saint Anthony of Padua Church under the Roman - Catholic Parish of Constanța and St. Peter and Paul Cathedral.

Peace, harmony, and balance would be fitting words to describe the atmosphere of this property, and we might be tempted to attribute this to the location, to the surrounding nature. Of course, there’s a valley at your feet, mountains in the distance, the colors of the seasons clearly, overwhelmingly visible, and we could easily accept this explanation. However, the harmony comes from within, as there is a certain limitation, a narrowing or even chromatic sobriety that actually produces calm. The natural, soft, subdued tones, within a narrow range, do not scratch, do not tire, do not overwhelm. The architecture and interior design are simple and functional, but this does not mean banal – rather, well thought out, settled, measured. The emphasis is on comfort, and this also comes from transparency – things are laid out in plain sight, within easy reach, and nature is part of the design, as the glazed surfaces make it a participant in everything that happens inside. The fireplace, the clawfoot tub, the greenhouse doubling as a gazebo, the sauna, jacuzzi, and entertainment room are features that make time spent here memorable for both families and tourists, if rental continues in hotel mode. There are 3 spacious bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, 2 sleeping niches in the attic perfect for children, a generous living room, and a fully equipped kitchen. In the basement, over 60 square meters, there is a kitchenette, a ping-pong table, and a pull-out corner sofa for movie nights. The cabin, located in Munteni, Bihor, on the border with Cluj County, generates a considerable annual profit, having a solid portfolio of clients and excellent reviews. The property is sold turnkey, and the new owner can benefit from one year of assistance in managing bookings.

Located in one of Bucharest’s most refined and sought-after neighborhoods, this villa, built in 1927, offers an ideal setting both as a family residence and as a space for business activities requiring a prestigious address.

Featuring classic architecture and well-balanced proportions, the house has been recently renovated, preserving its original charm while offering the comfort and functionality required for modern use. The interiors are spacious and well-distributed, with each floor easily adaptable to suit the needs of its future owner. One of the rare highlights of this property is the generous 350 sqm courtyard – a valuable asset in such a central location, adding a layer of privacy and versatility. It can be transformed into a serene urban garden, a space for family relaxation, private gatherings, or even a secure private parking area. Cotroceni remains one of the most desirable areas in the city – known for its tranquility, quick access to key parts of Bucharest, and close proximity to renowned institutions, parks, and stylish restaurants.

Built in the middle of the nineteenth century by baron Urban Petru of Monyoro, the mansion is located on the 79th National highway, on the road between Arad and Oradea, 28 km from Arad. In 1994, the mansion was completely renovated, and all the original architectural elements were preserved. The mansion provides the modern comfort, as it is connected to the water network, it has its own sewage and three gas central heating systems. There is an annex to the main building, equipped with all the standard utilities. As the yard is quite big, another house is being built, which will be used for residential purposes. In front of the mansion, there is a 50 sqm pool. There are thermal water springs at a depth of 700 m, which can be used to fill up the pool. Urban of Monyoro family was one of the important noble families of the Hungarian aristocracy. As mentioned in official records (1828), the first family member was Joseph Urban, and the family’s home was in Monyorod (today Manerau, Arad). The neoclassical mansion in Simand (only a few kilometers from Monyorod) was built in the second half of the 19th century. The mansion most likely belonged to Gyula Urban, the father of the most important member of the family, Peter Urban (1870-1935). Starting with the Eneolithic period up to the year 953 – when it is officially mentioned for the first time -, and on the modern times, Simand was one of the most important places in Transylvanian history. Moreover, in the 19th century, Simand was a strong economic hub, organizing fairs, having also present a strong Jewish community (in 1828 there were 400 Jewish people). For approximately 100 years, by the time when the mansion was built, the domain was owned by Urban of Monyoro family members. Most of them were high governors, politicians and even prefects in Arad county

Located at the intersection of Piața Libertății and Alba Iulia Street, this historic building, constructed in 1812 at the initiative of Toma Naum Makri, a Timisoara-based Aromanian merchant, stands as an architectural landmark of the city. Initially passed down to his daughter Persida, married Stoikov, the building was redesigned in 1900 by architect Lipót Baumhorn and has undergone various transitions – from being donated to the Aromanian-Serbian community to nationalization during the communist era. Today, it is privately owned. A distinctive feature of the façade is the sculpted Atlantes, a rare architectural motif in Romania with roots in European neoclassical style. Additionally, the building houses a remarkable historical element: the stone portal with Ionic columns at the entrance, which, according to urban legend, includes two elements that were originally Ottoman cannons captured by the Habsburg army in 1716. Recently restored, the main façade, woodwork, and roof have been fully renovated, and a proposed project aims to transform the building into a 4-star hotel with 80 rooms and conference halls. Originally designed with 40 rental spaces, the property remains highly versatile, making it ideal for uses such as a hotel, medical clinic, corporate headquarters, or commercial spaces on the ground floor and basement.

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.

Oradea is the city of pastel, lacy and wonderfully renovated buildings, and living in close proximity to the center brings something of its Secession-style magic, especially in the evening when you can see the roofs of the neighbors from the terrace. The villa has four spacious bedrooms, with en suite bathrooms, and a ground floor so generous and well compartmentalized that it includes a dining room for the adults, a game area/family room for the little ones plus an office area for the days when pajamas rhyme with remote work.

Located on a sunny street, with buildings sheltered by trees that promise tranquility, the property is currently used as a tourist unit; the small and charming 4-star boutique villa is highly appreciated by tourists, as evidenced by its ratings on renowned review platforms. However, the features valued by visitors also recommend it for conversion into a company headquarters, an embassy/consulate, or a private residence – the 10 rooms providing ample space for a large family with hobbies and many friends. Situated a short distance from the Bega River, the Roses Park, and the Cathedral Park, the building enjoys an excellent location, offering quick access to both the historic center of Timișoara and the airport, which is only 12 km away.

We do not know if the Thracians, Greeks and Romans crossed the Danube Delta here; the Sulina water channel then had more meanders than now, perhaps even a low flow. The Byzantines called it Salina, the Italian cartographers placed it on their maps since the 14th-15th centuries, then the Turks often used this water way, which became the most easily navigable in the era. In 1800, Romanians, Turks, Greeks, Jews, Armenians, Russians and Italians lived together and created the character of the area, which inspired Jean Bart, the founder of Romanian maritime and fluvial literature, to call his city - and his famous novel - Europolis (he would have called it Cosmopolis but the term had already been used). The small harbor of that time gave way today to a collective imagination splendidly exploited by this property, as this house that we propose may become a great refuge in the nature for family and friends. Completely renovated in 2017, the building has 17 rooms with en suite bathrooms, 4 terraces and common and utility spaces on 3 levels. It is the closest property to the UNESCO protected area in Sulina, with 40 km of virgin beach between the new beach (renovated and impeccably landscaped in 2017) and the city center. The vivid, overflowing and sweeping green outside finds its counterpart in calm, bright and spacious interiors. The design is vaguely rustic and preserves spaces where light gives way to volumes, colors, textures. The house offers time on the edge of the Delta but also curious urban histories such as that of the old lighthouse where Jean Bart had his office or the maritime cemetery, unique in Europe and where both Christians, Muslims and Jews spend their eternity. On the canals, the trembling of the water moved by the boats among the reeds produces fluttering of wings, murmur and short flights inviting tourists to mysterious walks.

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

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.

Sometimes we refer to architectural splendors as old houses just because the present builds differently, with glass and steel, not brick, columns, and Corinthian capitals. We liken the traces of time to wrinkles and compare peeling facades to the pigmented skin of age, and so we place them in the category of bygone beauties, set aside with only a past, not a future. However, old age is no longer a barrier to an active life today, and this perspective applies to architecture as well. Buildings like the one in the pictures successfully return to their former brilliance and contribute to preserving the character of the city. Neoclassical elements signify not only stylistic sobriety but also richness and coquetry for this house that belonged to lawyer Marinelea Păunescu. Built in 1889 by Olga and Mișu Paraschivescu, the house was nationalized and initially used by a cooperative for offices, then became a grocery store, and later was bought by the lawyer. Today, it is a historical monument and can become an elegant headquarters for a company, a spectacular restaurant, or a cultural center following the example of another famous monument in Bucharest, also owned by a woman, and not just any woman, but Ploiești -born Mița Biciclista. The entrance is carefully constructed with semicolumns, wrought ironwork, decorated windows, and a slender marquee. The rooms are luxurious, spacious, and well-proportioned, with meticulously decorated ceilings and double doors, richly ornamented and wide-opening. The interior woodwork matches the decorative richness of the exterior and is a differentiating element. Located in the center of Ploiești, near the Central Halls and behind the County Museum of Natural Sciences, the property is versatile and eager to begin its new life.

An elegant single-level mansion that impresses with its footprint – a long blade to the left and right of a platform entrance with simple, robust and elegant pillars. The windows with natural wood shutters profiled on the white masonry also attract attention, as well as the simple neoclassical decorative elements that give a small-scale monumentality that does not need verticality. Lit by the summer sun, with a embroidery like wooden terace and refined paving, it is a little reminiscent of French colonial mansions. Perpendicular to the road, with a yard more than generous for its almost 6 hectares, the mansion lends itself to a use in tune with the requirements of today; it can become a private residence, tourist unit, cultural center, restaurant or agricultural development. The village of Drăuț, whose name has aroused the interest of researchers (one theory says that it comes from the royal falconers who in 1270 were called Drawc) is part of the Târnova commune and is located in the center of the county, 60 km from the city of Arad.

Only 40 km away from Bucharest, in a privileged location very close to Snagov forest but also to Natura 2000 Gradistea, Nuci is a settlement formed on the old boyar and monastery domains previously offered by donation from the Muntenia Rulers. This is why the entire area is home to plenty of historical venues like Balamuci Monastery, Lecca Manor, or “Saint Nicholas” Church that dates back to 1631 , on top of plenty other old buildings and churcjes that are not listed as monuments. One of these is also Desliu Manor, built at the end of the 19th Century, a building that tells the stories of an old boyar family that had significant relevance in the political and cultural life of Romania during the 19th and early 20th century. “The Desliu’s” were a boyar family in Ţara Românească, going few generations back. The name has Turkish origins, but does it imply also the ethnic source? “ is the question that the historian Sorin Mihai Radulescu is asking in his book “ On the genealogy of Ana Aman” in which he is following a few branches of the Desliu family for a period of 150 years. Desliu Manor is a a very solid and sobre looking building, with focus on the functionality and not on the decoration of the building. The manor has a footprint of 256 sqm, witn 5 rooms and a vig hallway at the ground floor level, plus an 140 sqm basement that can be transformed by the will and the desire of the future owner into usable space. The land plot is large, offering a total of 2,740 sqm with plenty of usage options . The manor is in need of a complete renovation, but its history, the proximity to Bucharest and the large land plot that offer access to utilities make it a great opportunity for a vacation house or a commercial development.

On a corner of plains, on a foot of heaven - this is how the Romanian fairytale land is described, but good things also happen at the foot of the mountain, especially when it is Retezat with its glacial lakes and rare flora. The small town of Râu de Mori is located near the Colț fortress that inspired Jules Verne’s The Carpathian Fortress and 42 km away from Prislop Monastery. Sibiu International Airport is located 159 km away, and Sarmizegetusa Regia, Colonia Ulpia Traiana Augusta Dacica Sarmizegetusa, Huniazilor Castle and Deva Citadel are also close by. In addition, it is the perfect destination for winter sports and summer hiking. The Alpina Retezat resort, located in Râu de mori, has 90 accommodation places and all the necessary facilities – restaurants, garden, terrace, bar and private parking. The rooms are spacious and bright and, if desired, the entire hotel allows for a reconceptualization that further exploits the advantages of the location, highly appreciated by children's camps for its close proximity to the ski slopes in Râușor equipped with ski lifts, as well as for the adventure park nearby - the fir trees of the small resort are welcoming hosts, among their branches passing suspended trails that offer many challenges to the daring.

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

Dominating a cluster of houses at the foot of the mountain and having the forest near, this villa confidently raises its gaze to reach the distant mountains. Moreover, its slender vertical arrangement is crowned by a roof shaped like a mountain peak. The decorative stone and color scheme are perfectly adapted to the area, with the construction spanning three levels connected by an uninterrupted glass wall from the ground floor to the attic, ensuring a remarkable panorama. There are 11 rooms, arranged on the ground floor (a living room with a fireplace, kitchen and dining area, a bathroom, a bedroom, and a technical room), and on the upper floors, there is a play area, two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a duplex apartment with two rooms, a bathroom, balconies, and an additional bedroom with its own bathroom. The kitchen also has its own view, with the workspace positioned right under the window. The decorative stone used on the facade is also present inside, creating a symmetry built from narrow plates that soothe the eye and mind. The courtyard features carefully chosen vegetation and is perfectly arranged for a life in the fresh mountain air, with an outdoor play area for children. The property is ready to move in, fully furnished and equipped, with all necessary utilities such as electricity, water, sewage, gas, private central heating with radiators, air conditioning, cable TV, and fiber optics. Whether for a vacation home, permanent residence, or investment in tourism, the property easily accommodates any option. Poiana Țapului, a tourist resort in Prahova, enjoys wonderful mountain landscapes and proximity to points of interest such as the Peleș and Pelișor Museums, the Sinaia and Caraiman Monasteries, or the Cezar Petrescu Memorial House.
