luxury houses for sale Romania (page 4)

Located just moments from Târgu Mureș, in Sântana de Mureș, this individual villa enjoys direct and seamless access to the city while benefiting from a quieter and greener residential setting. Inspired by the architectural lines of the “Art Collectors Residence” project designed by Hariri Pontarini Architects, the property introduces a rare concept to the local market: a contemporary Mediterranean residence shaped around natural light, generous volumes, and a fluid connection between interior and exterior spaces. Târgu Mureș has become one of Transylvania’s steadily developing urban centers, while still preserving its green character and calmer rhythm of life. Despite its ongoing development, the city continues to offer a rare connection between urban living and immediate access to nature, with green residential areas and nearby forests remaining part of everyday life. With an approximate built area of 360 sqm and a 767 sqm plot, the residence is organized around a spectacular living area of approximately 80 sqm, where expansive glazed surfaces and the opening toward the outdoors create a bright and relaxed atmosphere. The island kitchen integrates naturally into the day area, in a composition designed both for family living and social gatherings. The property includes three bedrooms, four bathrooms, a dressing room, office, fitness room, technical room, and multiple storage spaces, within a layout focused on comfort and functionality without compromising aesthetics. The exterior continues the same architectural direction through the approximately 20 sqm landscaped terrace, mature vegetation, and the spacious yard surrounding the villa, offering privacy, relaxation areas, and an ideal setting for family life. The outdoor space is supported by an automated irrigation system supplied by a private well. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the villa also integrates several technical solutions focused on long-term efficiency and comfort: installed photovoltaic system, Viessmann gas heating system, fireplace connected to the radiators, automated gate, alarm system, and video surveillance. The property accommodates parking for four vehicles, including two covered spaces. This residence offers a rare type of living within Romania’s residential landscape: a contemporary home with international architectural influences, set within a peaceful, green, and authentic Transylvanian environment.

Somewhere between the gentle flow of the Lotru River, the endless green of the forests, and the stillness of the mountain sky, we discovered a home that invites you to experience a different way of life: authentic, connected, refined. An architectural mountain retreat set on a generous plot, with a private pool and full energy autonomy in one of the most beautiful natural regions of Romania. In Mălaia, where the Lotru River quietly carves its path and the forested mountain ridges fade into the distance, this spectacular A-Frame home redefines the notion of a contemporary retreat in the heart of nature. This is not merely a house — it is a place to truly live, between forest, water and sky, in one of Romania’s most picturesque mountain regions. Set on a 2,229 sqm plot, right on the banks of the Lotru River and surrounded by dense woodland, the property embodies a perfect balance between modern architecture and the surrounding landscape. With a footprint of 83 sqm and a total built area of 121 sqm, the home is designed to amplify light, space, and connection to the scenery.

The kitchen is fully equipped, while the four bedrooms and two bathrooms offer elegant comfort for family and guests, in a setting that inspires tranquility and simplicity. Outdoors, the naturally landscaped garden features a private pool with wooden terrace for sun-drenched relaxation, an al fresco dining area, a cozy fire pit under the open sky, and a lounge space designed to let you fully immerse in the silence of the forest. Children have their own corner of adventure in the dedicated play area, ensuring every member of the family can enjoy the magic of this place. The property comes fully furnished and tastefully decorated, equipped to a high standard of comfort. Its energy independence is ensured by a state-of-the-art 25 kW solar panel system, making this residence a model of sustainable living, with no compromise on style or functionality. Beyond the 2,229 sqm grounds lies a natural world of rare beauty.

Close by, one can discover Lake Vidra, the Brădișor dam, the Lotrișor and Scoruș waterfalls, Cozia National Park and the dramatic Latorița Gorges, carved by ancient waters. The region is also home to renowned spa towns and a wealth of historic and cultural monasteries. Moreover, Mălaia offers one of the most privileged gateways to the Transalpina — Romania’s highest mountain road, famed for its breathtaking views and serpentine routes connecting the Parâng and Apuseni ranges. Here, nature is not just a backdrop: it is a life companion, with each window framing a living painting. This property is a declaration of independence and refinement, a home for those seeking not merely a place to live, but a way of being — in harmony with the mountains, with simplicity, and with the beauty of life’s essential things but it can also be a fantastic investment opportunity with a very good yield, a turnkey asset that can produce revenue starting Day 1.

Located in one of Bucharest’s most exclusive and well-preserved residential enclaves, within the prestigious Dorobanți – Capitale district, this remarkable property represents a rare presence on the luxury real estate market — a residence of authentic architectural value, set in a privileged environment where discretion, prestige, and urban heritage coexist in perfect harmony. Designed in the Neo-Romanian architectural style, the villa captivates through the artistic expressiveness of its façade and the refined architectural details that evoke the elegance of an era when sophistication was defined by proportion, ornamentation, and craftsmanship. The arches, columns, balanced volumes, and decorative elements give the property a distinctive identity, transforming it into a true aesthetic statement. Inside, the atmosphere continues the same subtle dialogue between the nobility of historical architecture and contemporary comfort, each space conceived to inspire and impress. The rarity of this residence is further enhanced by an attribute almost impossible to find in such a prime central location: a private garden. The mature greenery and the intimacy offered by the outdoor space create the feeling of a secluded retreat, entirely removed from the rhythm of the city. Equally exceptional is the indoor swimming pool — a feature reserved only for truly distinguished residences — elevating the property into a sanctuary dedicated to relaxation and sophisticated living. Another remarkable advantage is the generous on-site parking capacity within the courtyard, a highly valuable privilege in the Capitale area, where space and accessibility have become increasingly rare commodities. This discreetly integrated functionality perfectly complements the representative character of the residence. More than a home, this villa is a property of cultural and emotional significance, created for those who appreciate authentic architecture, artistic character, and the prestige of an iconic address. A residence that does not follow trends, but transcends them through timelessness and uniqueness.

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. It served as a meeting place for the Conservative-Democratic Party, where key decisions were shaped regarding Romania’s entry into World War I. Victor Ștephănescu’s architectural legacy includes some of Romania’s most important national landmarks, such as the Cercul Militar Național, the Arcul de Triumf, the Constanța Casino, and the Coronation Cathedral of Alba Iulia, a context that further elevates the cultural significance of this residence. Inside, the property retains the grandeur and authenticity of its era almost in its entirety. 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. With a rustic charm and lush vegetation, it features fruit trees, fig trees, raspberries, strawberries, and mint, creating a self-contained ecosystem that feels entirely removed from the rhythm of the city. This secluded outdoor space is equally suited for quiet relaxation or for hosting elegant private gatherings. Between the 1970s and 1990s, the residence further cemented its cultural significance by serving as a setting for numerous landmark Romanian film productions, including Gaițele, Balanța, Lumini și Umbre, and Buletin de București. 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.

Positioned along one of the most exclusive openings of Snagov Lake, this unique property offers a sophisticated interpretation of contemporary architecture, where the relationship with water and landscape becomes central to the living experience. The architectural language is defined by a controlled interplay of volumes, clean lines, and expansive glazed surfaces, designed to capture natural light throughout the day and to constantly frame the presence of the lake. The partially cantilevered upper level enhances the architectural expression, creating striking openings toward the surrounding scenery. Access is made via a private driveway that gradually introduces a setting defined by discretion and refinement. The interior is organized around a generous living space, where the living, dining, and bar areas form an expansive ensemble, distinguished by impressive ceiling heights and full panoramic openings toward the lake. This central space becomes the core of daily life, where interior and exterior blend seamlessly. The kitchen is conceived as an independent space, where rigorous design and discreetly integrated technology support a contemporary lifestyle without disrupting the overall visual balance. Nearby, a dedicated wellness area adds an additional layer of comfort, naturally integrating daily routines into a private and well-defined setting. The night area offers an intimate experience, where each suite becomes a personal retreat, oriented toward the calm of the water and natural light. Generous proportions and carefully selected materials, from travertine washbasins to triple-layered oak flooring, create a balanced atmosphere defined by quiet comfort and understated elegance. Outdoors, the connection with the lake becomes essential. Terraces and lounge areas are positioned to allow everyday living to unfold in direct contact with the water, while the infinity pool, approximately 25 meters in length and with a generous dedicated surface, acts as a seamless extension of the architecture toward the landscape. Together with the private dock, this setting defines a rare environment shaped by openness, privacy, and a constant relationship with nature, the pool being equipped with an automated water treatment system that regulates chlorine and pH levels for optimal comfort. The landscaping follows the same disciplined approach, creating a natural transition between the built environment and its surroundings while ensuring a high degree of privacy. The garden becomes a protected space, where calm and proportion define the overall experience. From a technical perspective, the property reflects high standards of execution and performance. The ventilated façade clad in natural stone, Reynaers aluminum joinery (Belgium) with triple glazing, low-E and anti-reflective treatment, centralized Mitsubishi climate control, and underfloor heating supported by two Viessmann gas boilers all contribute to a consistent and efficient level of comfort. The selection of materials and systems is guided by durability, performance, and discreet integration within the architecture. Functionality is further complemented by a two-car garage, along with additional outdoor parking spaces, naturally integrated within the overall layout of the property. The Snagov area is widely regarded as one of the most sought-after residential destinations for high-net-worth buyers, offering a rare balance between privacy, natural surroundings, and direct connectivity to Bucharest. A property of this scale, positioning, and architectural coherence is rarely encountered on the Romanian market, setting a distinct benchmark for contemporary waterfront residences and offering a lifestyle that is difficult to replicate in the proximity of Bucharest.

Set just below Brașov Citadel, in one of the city’s most coveted and picturesque locations, this interwar residence is the kind of property that rarely comes to market and lingers in memory forever. With open, unobstructed views over Brașov and Tâmpa, the house seems to breathe in the storybook air of the old citadel, while remaining fully open to the present-day beauty of the city below. Positioned on a 739 sq.m plot, the house, built during the interwar period, is arranged over ground floor, first floor and attic, with a footprint of 126 sq.m and a total built area of 404 sq.m. Today, it is a renovation project, yet one with soul, presence and an architectural elegance that is impossible to overlook. Its charm lies not only in the history it carries, but also in the elements that have endured through time: the generous glazed area on the ground floor, the oval windows, and several original wooden details, all of which still speak of the character, proportion and refinement of the era in which it was built. These authentic features provide a valuable foundation for an inspired restoration, one capable of transforming this property into a truly exceptional residence. The sloping plot enhances both privacy and perspective, allowing the house to capture light, atmosphere and sweeping views in a way that few properties in Brașov can offer. This is not simply a house waiting to be renovated, but a place of rare beauty awaiting its rebirth. For the buyer with vision, sensitivity and ambition, this is a rare opportunity: not only to restore a home, but to breathe life back into a distinctive architectural presence and, perhaps, to create one of the most beautiful residences in Brașov.

Set on a quiet street in the residential enclave of Corbeanca, an area prized for its clean air, mature greenery, and discreet atmosphere, this property offers a rare balance between peaceful living close to nature and swift access to Bucharest. Located approximately 21 km from Piața Victoriei and within easy reach of shopping centers, schools, restaurants, medical facilities, and the Therme complex, the villa is ideally suited for a family seeking space, privacy, and modern comfort. The residence unfolds across four levels and impresses with its elegant architecture, generous proportions, and thoughtfully designed layout, which clearly separates living, private, and leisure areas. The living room forms the heart of the home — a bright, expansive space with impressive ceiling height and large glazed surfaces that open toward the garden, terrace, and pool. A wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and refinement, while the dining area and kitchen flow naturally into the daily living space. A study on this level provides an ideal setting for working from home or quiet reading. The upper floor is dedicated to the night area, featuring comfortable bedrooms with balconies and terraces overlooking the garden, ensuring privacy and abundant natural light. The principal suite includes its own dressing area and spacious bathroom, while solid wood parquet with decorative inlays underscores the refined character of the interiors. The attic offers an intimate and versatile space suitable for relaxation, reading, or creative pursuits. The lower level enhances functionality and comfort, housing a two-car garage equipped with an electric vehicle charging station, extensive storage areas, a private wellness zone with a chromotherapy jacuzzi for two, a modern Effegibi wet and dry sauna, and a fitness area fitted with Kettler equipment. The exterior is one of the property’s most compelling features — a generous plot designed as a true private park, showcasing an impressive variety of mature ornamental trees, including Ginkgo Biloba, tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera), pink-flowering Albizia, and a striking silver fir exceeding six meters in height. Natural stone and travertine pathways, an automated irrigation system, and decorative wrought-iron lighting create an elegant and relaxing outdoor atmosphere, enhanced by discreet landscape illumination. The heated outdoor swimming pool of generous proportions, complete with diving board and decorative fountain, serves as the focal point of summer leisure, complemented by a covered terrace ideal for outdoor living. The estate is further enriched by practical outbuildings, including a gardener’s cottage, a rustic pavilion, dedicated spaces for pets, and a vegetable and herb garden discreetly integrated into the landscape. Modern comfort is supported by comprehensive technical infrastructure, including photovoltaic and solar panels, three-phase electrical supply, a deep private well with filtration and softening systems, a Buderus gas boiler, underfloor heating on the ground floor, climate control, and a central vacuum system. Interior finishes emphasize natural materials and craftsmanship, featuring laminated oak wood joinery, solid wood interior doors with walnut veneer, and handcrafted marble window sills both inside and outside. The property also offers a high level of security, with video surveillance, alarm system connected to a security company, fire and gas leak sensors, video intercom, and motorized access gate. Combining a spacious landscaped garden, resort-style amenities, and proximity to the capital, this residence represents an ideal choice for those seeking a tranquil lifestyle in a generous natural setting without sacrificing urban connectivity.

Situated on a generous 1,700-square-metre plot in Florești, the property evokes the atmosphere of a boutique retreat—an elegant villa crafted for family life, relaxation, and a harmonious lifestyle. Its location within the dynamic metropolitan area of Cluj-Napoca enhances its desirability. The residence lies close to shopping areas, daily services, and one of Romania’s most modern schools now under construction, while the upcoming Cluj Regional Emergency Hospital—one of the country’s most significant and advanced medical developments—further strengthens the long-term value of this villa for sale. The arrival to the property unfolds through a beautifully structured garden where maples, hydrangeas, evergreens, climbing plants, and bamboo create a natural protective buffer.

Built in 2018 in collaboration with architects, interior designers, and landscape specialists, the residence stands out through its quality and timeless aesthetic. Natural stone accents, travertine, marble, solid wood, and granite define the material palette, while expansive glazing fills the living spaces with natural light.

In Șurdești, Maramureș, a picturesque village defined by spectacular landscapes and UNESCO heritage, this estate presents a rare combination of architectural authenticity and infrastructure prepared for diverse uses — from an expansive private residence to a fully operational hospitality project, a boutique concept with strong local identity, or even a retirement retreat with integrated tourism activity. Its setting within this environment is ideal for those seeking the genuine tranquility of rural life and the charm of a traditional community, while also appealing to investors who recognize the value of a location with cultural recognition and sustained tourism appeal. The ensemble brings together three carefully restored traditional houses, crafted from wood, stone, and natural materials specific to the region, alongside a distinct residence expressed in a contemporary architectural language. The current configuration allows for immediate operation in a hospitality format, while simultaneously offering the flexibility to expand into a broader concept — thematic retreat, private event venue, experiential tourism destination, or a residence with an integrated commercial component. Two of the houses are arranged for accommodation, offering spacious en-suite rooms, while the third functions as a communal space, incorporating dining areas, kitchen facilities, and relaxation amenities. The generous attic provides the opportunity to increase capacity, and the presence of a fourth building — modern in design and efficiently compartmentalized — enables a clear separation between residential and business areas. The property may therefore function either as a private residence with complementary hospitality income or as an independent rural tourism business, scalable into a more extensive boutique resort concept. Its proximity — just minutes from the ski slopes of Cavnic and approximately 20 minutes from Baia Mare — adds strategic value to any development vision, ensuring accessibility without compromising the authenticity sought by premium clientele. Through the versatility of its buildings, the potential for expansion, and the regional context favorable to cultural and active tourism, the property stands as a compelling opportunity both for the development of a coherent hospitality venture in Maramureș and for the creation of a private retreat with integrated economic potential.

Konopi Estate stands out through a refined architectural presence shaped by balanced proportions and the restrained elegance of Neoclassical design. Known as a castle, the residence discreetly commands its surroundings through the harmony of its volumes and a monumental entrance framed by paired columns and semi-columns crowned with Corinthian capitals. Symmetrical setbacks add depth to the composition, while the understated ornamentation and beige-green façade palette emphasize its timeless character. Within the grounds lies the estate’s former chapel, recognizable by the sundial placed above its entrance. Later donated to the Roman Catholic Church, it preserves in its apse the heraldic coats of arms of the Brunszvik and Forray families — lasting testimonies to the aristocratic lineage that shaped the property. The estate witnessed the vibrant social life of the aristocracy, hosting gatherings and cultural events characteristic of its era. The uprising of Horia, Cloșca and Crișan in 1784 brought significant devastation, marking a turning point in its history. In the mid-19th century, the property was acquired from Count Nádasdy by Antal Czigler de Konop, whose family officially adopted the name Konopi in 1870, preserving the noble predicate associated with the domain. Its origins reach much further back, forming part of the feudal domain of Șoimuș (Solymos). Over time, it belonged to notable Central European figures and noble families, including John Hunyadi — Voivode of Transylvania and Governor of the Kingdom of Hungary — Johann Giskra von Brandeis, captain to King Matthias Corvinus, the influential Bánffy family, and later the House of Georg of Brandenburg in 1510, before becoming the property of Prince Forray. The reconstruction of the estate coincided with the development of the railway along the Mureș Valley, making it one of the early regional buildings to integrate metal beams into its structure — a dialogue between tradition and modernity. The large stable within the western courtyard reflects late 19th-century industrial architecture, sharing similarities with the renowned Andrényi warehouses of the period. The last descendant of the family, Baron Kálmán Konopi (1880–1947), an engineer and agricultural researcher, returned after his studies abroad to manage the estate. Under his leadership, the property became a center for agricultural experimentation, where the renowned “Conop wheat” was developed through research focused on resilient grain varieties adapted to flooding and drought conditions. Patrons of the arts, the Baron and his wife, Boér Vilma, maintained close ties with the artistic colony of Gödöllő. During the interwar period, the estate became a meeting place for artists and intellectuals, associated with the evolution of Szecesszió — the Hungarian expression of the Art Nouveau movement. Today, the property extends across approximately 1.70 hectares, preserving the imprint of a remarkable aristocratic legacy and offering a rare opportunity to continue the story of an estate where architecture, agricultural innovation and European cultural life converged. Through its scale, architectural distinction and cultural significance, the estate offers exceptional versatility. It may become a prestigious private residence, a boutique hotel or cultural retreat, the headquarters of a foundation or representative institution, as well as a venue dedicated to events or artistic initiatives. The balance between history, setting and proportions allows the property to adapt to diverse contemporary visions while preserving the authenticity that defines its identity.

Located in the Historic Center of Bucharest, Kiriazi Hotel is a property of remarkable historical value, set on a 1,015 sqm plot at the intersection of Blănari Street and Băcani Street, in the immediate vicinity of the iconic Hanul cu Tei. The property benefits from a privileged position within the protected Lipscani area — a historic “lipscănie”-type commercial ensemble, unique in Bucharest and rare at a national level — offering direct access to major urban landmarks such as Lipscani Street, Calea Victoriei, Smârdan Street, and Calea Moșilor. The building is configured as basement + ground floor + two upper floors (S+P+2E), comprising commercial spaces at the basement and ground floor levels and leased residential units on the upper floors. These functions have remained consistent throughout its evolution — commercial activity combined with residential and temporary accommodation use, characteristic of the traditional inn-hotel typology. Constructed in its present form between 1882 and 1884, the building is organized around an interior courtyard and features two principal façades facing Blănari and Băcani Streets, preserving a high degree of architectural and compositional authenticity. The parcel has formed part of the city’s historic urban fabric since the 18th century, when it was occupied by Zamfir’s Inn, erected during that period and later owned by the Sărindar Monastery until the secularization of monastic estates in 1863. Analysis of historical sale and redemption documents indicates that Dr. G. Kiriazi initially acquired portions of Zamfir’s Inn through emphyteusis rights, subsequently purchasing the associated land. Following these acquisitions, he established the hotel along the eastern wing of the former inn, oriented toward Băcani Street, with contemporary press references documenting the early operation of Kiriazi Hotel. After successive acquisitions completed by Dr. G. Kiriazi in 1880 and 1882, Kiriazi Hotel was constructed as a representative example of late 19th-century public hospitality architecture. The building operated as a hotel until its nationalization in 1950, after which it was converted into a residential property — a function it retains today. The property holds significant memorial and symbolic value, being associated both with the personality of Dr. G. Kiriazi and with important cultural and social activities of the era. Within its premises operated Ștefănescu’s Tavern, a venue frequented by Mihai Eminescu, while the newspaper Voința Națională also maintained its headquarters in the building. The property is listed in the National Register of Historic Monuments (Category B). Historical documents and urban plans confirm that the former Zamfir’s Inn occupied the same footprint as the current parcel, extending along Băcani Street toward Lipscani and adjacent to Hanul cu Tei, disproving theories suggesting the inn had been located on the interwar site currently occupied by Club A. At the time of its inauguration, a description published in România Liberă on February 24, 1884 highlighted the remarkable standards of the period: „Stilul Rennaissance, 2 etage în Centrul Capitalei, lângă Lipscani, (…) avend 59 camere, admirabil iluminate și aerate, 2 prăvălii, 2 pivniți, grajd pentru 8-10 cai, șopron pentru 4-5 trăsuri, (…) telefon și telegraf la fiecare cameră”. Through its exceptional location, documented history, architectural authenticity, and functional continuity, Kiriazi Hotel represents a compelling long-term investment opportunity, offering significant restoration and value-enhancement potential in one of Bucharest’s most important historic districts.

The mansion known today by the name of its second owner, Timișoara-born businessman Koșca, was built in the 19th century by the Polish Hagianopol. He sold the property in 1930 but the time that has passed over it since then has not touched it; perfectly preserved and with a young spirit the domanin stands proud today, with new and attractive accessories such as the sky-reflecting pool. Protected by a belt of bushy trees strategically placed on the property boundary, the main building is white, bright and warm under its reddish new brick roof. The interior keeps the light and associates the white walls with a lot of wood - decorative beams on the ceiling, old furniture, carpentry. In one room high semi-columns are painted with flowers in autumn rust colors, outlining a chromatic leitmotif. The bedrooms are generous, gently dominated by the warmth of wood; brown terracotta stoves preserve the rustic character of the entire mansion. A gorgeous tile stove in blue and white is the piece de resistance of the living room. The area of over two hectares includes 4 buildings with their own central office and various annexes and facilities. First of all, the Mansion stands out with a built area of 306 square meters divided into 6 rooms, living room, 4 bathrooms, kitchen, cellar, porch, terrace with garden and swimming pool. The secondary house has a built-up area of 238 sqm - 4 rooms, living room, kitchen, bathroom, indoor garage, an outdoor terrace and an indoor one with a semi-round shape and large windows that offer a superb view of the valley above which the property sits. Separately we find another building - a former warehouse partially furnished as an apartment of approximately 60 useful square meters with 2 bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen. A large part of this building, however, is empty and waiting to be given a purpose. All three buildings have, in addition to the mentioned areas, high attics over the entire surface of the ground floor, attics that can be transformed by the future owner at will into useful spaces. A special building present on the land is the former nobleman's wine cellar; it has a footprint of 218 sqm and is built on three underground levels. In the past these premises had an industrial use being a mini factory of dairy products but it can be used again in its own right or as spaces for events. The orchard that surrounds the property has more than 300 fruit trees per fruit that delight guests and turn autumn celebrations in the courtyard of the mansion into real feasts. Conceived at one time as accommodation for tourists interested in the south of the country (Bucharest and Ploiești are 60 km away, Târgoviște 20 km and Pitești 40 km) the mansion receives its guests as a space for recreation and events but just as well it can support a reconversion with an emphasis on its agricultural or orchard potential. Or, why not, it can become a vacation property where the rich history and beauty of simple architecture intertwine with the amenities necessary for the comfort of modern life

Located in the village of Văleni (Patakfalva), Harghita County, „Hubertus Lodge” is a rare property within Transylvania’s real estate landscape — an expansive private estate designed for nature-oriented living, discretion, and versatile use. The area is known for its unspoiled natural setting, deep rural quiet, and remarkable biodiversity, while still allowing relatively easy access to established destinations such as Sighișoara, Sovata, Corund, Praid Salt Mine, Saint Anne Lake, Red Lake, Zetea, Viscri, Rupea, and Brașov. The estate extends across approximately 10.9 hectares of land in Transylvania, combining intravilan and extravilan plots in a coherent layout suited both for private residential use and retreat or niche tourism concepts. The overall vision integrates modern comfort within an authentic natural framework, supported by architectural and functional elements inspired by Transylvanian tradition. On the intravilan land, exceeding 9,000 sqm, there are two modern lodge buildings and a traditional early-20th-century rural ensemble. The total built area is approximately 420 sqm, with spaces configured for permanent use and extended hosting. The main lodge is organized around a distinctive circular living room with a central fireplace, which defines the daytime area, complemented by a dining room, kitchen, and terrace. The sleeping area includes two en-suite bedrooms, while the attic can be extended to accommodate three additional rooms, one bathroom, and two further rooms, allowing for future development flexibility. Thermal comfort is ensured through radiator heating as well as underfloor heating in the main lodge, contributing to a balanced and consistent interior climate. The guest lodge operates independently and includes four en-suite bedrooms and a veranda, making it suitable for extended family, guests, or operation as a boutique lodge or retreat in Transylvania. The traditional rural compound adds a habitable house with two wood-stove-heated rooms, a barn, and a bread oven, preserving the authentic local character. The extravilan land, of approximately 10 hectares, consists of pasture and natural vegetation, providing openness and privacy. A dedicated wildlife observation cabin is positioned on this land — a rare feature suitable for wildlife watching and nature retreats. The region is recognized for frequent sightings of large fauna, including deer, boar, roe deer, and bear. In terms of comfort and technical features, the property is equipped with wood-fired central heating systems serving both lodges, providing radiator heating and hot water, supported by a boiler and a water softening system. The main lodge benefits from underfloor heating. The buildings were completed in 2008 and are offered fully furnished and equipped, including appliances, tableware, and textiles. Ambient lighting and selected materials create a warm, premium lodge atmosphere throughout. By scale, layout, and setting, the property is well suited as an extended private estate in Transylvania, as well as a boutique lodge, wildlife retreat, or premium tourism project, including themed retreats or limited corporate use. The configuration with independent buildings and extensive land supports flexible operation — private, mixed, or hospitality — and positions the estate as a solid niche investment opportunity within the Transylvanian market.

Five expansive terraces, ranging from approximately 140 to 200 sqm each and distributed across all levels of the property, create a series of exceptional vantage points overlooking the city, mountains, and surrounding natural scenery. Whether intended for entertaining, quiet relaxation, or simply enjoying the changing landscape throughout the seasons, these spaces strengthen the property's connection to its spectacular setting. One of the terraces features a fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for outdoor gatherings and evenings spent overlooking the lights of Brașov. A defining characteristic of the estate is the way its grounds unfold across multiple terraced levels. Beyond enhancing the dramatic visual presence of the property, this configuration creates an exceptional degree of flexibility and opens the door to countless future possibilities. From landscaped gardens and private recreation areas to wellness facilities or other bespoke outdoor concepts, the estate offers a rare canvas for a future owner to further shape and personalize the property according to their vision. The grounds themselves are arranged across five suspended garden terraces, each contributing to the estate's distinctive character. Two terraces are planted with fruit trees, shrubs, and vines, one is dedicated to decorative coniferous landscaping, another has been prepared for the creation of a private park, while the fifth, connected to the independent apartment, is ready to be completed according to the preferences of the future owner. Complementing the main residence is a self-contained apartment with a separate entrance, positioned one level below the villa's principal access point. Benefiting from the same privileged setting, it enjoys panoramic views across the city, forests, and mountains from virtually every room. Its independent access allows for a variety of uses, whether as guest accommodation, a private residence for extended family members, dedicated staff quarters, or a discreet space for live-in personnel, while preserving the privacy and independence of the main residence. Privacy and security are ensured through gated access to the property. The garage accommodates up to five vehicles and is complemented by two additional parking spaces on the forecourt and two further spaces in front of the garage, providing ample capacity for both residents and guests. Rarely does a property combine such commanding views, substantial land, architectural presence, and adaptability within one of Transylvania's most desirable residential locations.

Surrounded by gentle hills, vineyards, and lush forests, the property breathes the pure air of the Prahova foothills and offers the perfect stage for a lifestyle that is both relaxed and sophisticated – whether as a private residence or as a boutique resort with a distinct personality. The estate comprises a main villa and several independent guest houses, each designed to provide privacy, style, and memorable experiences. The main villa, built in the style of an elegant Swiss chalet, blends the warmth of natural wood with the sophistication of modern design. The ground floor features a welcoming living area, a dining space, and a bathroom, while the upper level includes two bedrooms and a spacious terrace overlooking the mature garden. Around the villa, the atmosphere is almost fairytale-like – with a rustic gazebo, a fire pit and BBQ area for long evenings with friends, a sauna, an outdoor hot tub, and lush vegetation ensuring privacy and serenity. Beyond the main villa, the property offers three independent apartments, each with its own unique design, finished to the highest standards of comfort. Each unit exudes its own personality, with premium finishes, carefully selected furniture, and refined details that turn every stay into an exclusive hospitality experience. In the common area, a large gazebo serves as the social heart of the property, fully equipped with a cooking station, BBQ, and lounge area – ideal for long, joyful gatherings. The centerpiece, however, is the swimming pool, surrounded by palm trees, sunbeds, and exotic plants, creating the unmistakable atmosphere of a permanent holiday. Adding to the estate’s charm, there is an elegant wine cellar housed in an old stone basement with its own well, whose walls still whisper stories of another time. Above it, an intimate and sophisticated cigar room offers a space of masculine refinement and quiet indulgence. Completing the ensemble is a modern restaurant, finished to premium standards and fitted with a full professional kitchen, designed to host both private events and the operations of a boutique resort. The property is offered fully furnished and equipped, representing a turnkey business, yet it can just as easily become a luxurious private residence – a refuge for family and friends in an exceptional natural setting.

Located in Voluntari, within a mature residential enclave in the northern part of Bucharest, this property sits in one of the most highly regarded family-oriented areas near the capital. It offers fast access to the city while standing out for its proximity to one of Romania’s strongest private educational infrastructures — a key criterion for this segment of the residential market. Within a radius of approximately 2.5 km lies one of the most concentrated educational hubs in the northern area: four of the most prestigious international private schools, offering British and American curricula alongside established international programs, complemented by around 15 top-tier private kindergartens. Immediate connections to Erou Iancu Nicolae, DN1, A3 and DNCB ensure efficient access both to the northern business districts and to Henri Coandă International Airport. The property is positioned in a private villa compound with controlled access and video-monitored infrastructure, on a wide street with an exclusively residential profile. The setting is discreet, stable, and secure — characteristics that have consistently supported the long-term value of the area. The generous plot of nearly 2,000 sqm accommodates a residence with a built area of 533 sqm, completed in 2007 and first occupied in 2008. A rarely encountered advantage is the continuity of the property’s management and maintenance. Since completion, the same professional team has handled the full upkeep of the house — interior, exterior, garden, and furniture — preserving the project’s original standards. All technical documentation, plans, and supplier contacts can be transferred to the new owner, ensuring a smooth and well-supported transition. The interior is centered around a striking living area of approximately 50 sqm, with a 6-meter ceiling height and full-height glazed surfaces that bring natural light to the forefront and create a direct relationship with the outdoors. Architectural elements — the discreetly integrated fireplace, the wood-clad feature wall, and the sculptural staircase — complete the space in a balanced, understated manner. The Veneta Cucine kitchen, fitted with top-range appliances, is designed for flexibility and can be separated from the living area when desired. A dedicated wellness zone with sauna and jacuzzi adds everyday comfort. Generous terraces — including a panoramic rooftop terrace spanning the full footprint of the house — extend the living experience, complemented by natural stone and marble finishes and hardwood flooring selected for durability and refinement. The mature garden balances relaxation and functionality, with clearly defined green areas, orchard and garden zones that provide privacy and a well-structured natural setting. The outdoor terrace, equipped with a retractable pergola and integrated lighting, supports daily use, while parking solutions are discreetly integrated to preserve the visual coherence of the property. Upgrades completed in 2024 — including the new kitchen, exterior deck, and retractable illuminated pergola — introduce a contemporary layer to a residence with a timeless character, without altering its identity. Overall, the property addresses a buyer who values strong positioning, immediate access to elite education, and the discipline of a well-managed home over time. Located in Voluntari, at the immediate edge of northern Bucharest, the residence offers a stable, secure, and long-term relevant living environment.

“When Ioan N. Roman with master Caragiale and Barbu Delavrancea emptied jars of amber Samos and Tenedos wine, in the small corner room at Hrisicos they modestly devised not only Romanian Poetry and Prose - but Romania itself...” - Constantin N. Sarry A landmark in the city’s history, Hrisicos House was built in 1900 to the plans of French architect Louis Givért. The building stands out through its eclectic style, dominated by neoclassical features with Art Nouveau details characteristic of the early 20th century. It served as a reference point for later developments in Ovidiu Square, designed mainly by architect Adolf Lintz in Viennese style. Hrisicos House is one of the oldest surviving buildings from the area’s original layout, marking the corner of Traian and Pescarilor Streets (the latter having since disappeared). Commissioned by Gheorghe Hrisicos, once a “simple shop boy” who quickly became a well-known wine merchant and central property owner, the house was inaugurated with great pomp in the autumn of 1903. Conceived as a luxury hotel, with a restaurant offering both seafood and international cuisine on the ground floor, it soon became a landmark of Constanța. Bucharest’s elites, accustomed to the “Carol” or “Regina” hotels, now flocked to “Hrisicos.” Yet the owner’s success was short-lived: sued by defrauded banks and merchants, he was branded by the press as “Constanța’s swindler banker.” Hrisicos fled to Russia, was extradited, and sentenced to two years in prison. The scandal and widely publicized trial gave Hrisicos House unmatched notoriety, while its restaurant and hotel were frequented by notable figures such as Ion Luca Caragiale, Barbu Ștefănescu Delavrancea, Alexandru Vlahuță, and Take Ionescu. The building was devastated during the First World War and reopened only in October 1924 as the headquarters of the Popular Bank Steagul Dobrogei. During the Second World War, it became the favored residence of German military commanders overseeing the city and coastal operations. Immediately after August 23, 1944, the balcony apartment was occupied by the Soviet military commander of Constanța. Under the communist regime, the property was nationalized, converted into a military barracks and command post, and, following major renovations in 1974, functioned as a restaurant, wine cellar, and guesthouse under the name “Pelican.” After the fall of communism, the building hosted various banks but suffered significant interior degradation. In 2006, it was purchased by its current owners, who initiated an extensive process of restoration and rehabilitation. It has since been converted into a modern high-end bistro and a four-star hotel with 23 rooms. Regaining the stature and function of its beginnings, Hrisicos House, which has retained its original name in collective memory despite all transformations, has once again become a vibrant symbol of Constanța, a silent witness to major secrets and political decisions of the turbulent 20th century.

Surrounded by abundant vegetation, the tower lifts its tiled roof to survey the distance. Times are quiet now, but at the end of the 18th century when it was built, Pazvantoglu, the pasa from Vidin known to the residents as Pazvante Chioru, used to raid the area. The Phanariot lordships did not have the ability to ensure the protection of the territories far from the capital, that is why the Oltenian boyars built forts, fortified houses meant to protect their wealth in case of attack. It is interesting to note the uniqueness of this type of construction, which was no longer built after 1821 because the attacks stopped after Tudor Vladimirescu's revolution, therefore their construction no longer made sense. The rarity makes the appearance of such a house on the real estate market an event, an opportunity. The word cula comes from the Turkish, where kule means tower, and names this type of one-story house that can be found here in the south of the country, but also south of the Danube, in Bulgaria, Albania, Greece, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia from North, Montenegro, Kosovo Region. The house of the Voiculescu family follows the classical architectural line, having compact, solid volumes, well placed on the ground, located in an isolated place, surrounded by countryside and peace, with good visibility over the area. With thick walls, internal stairs between floors, reinforced doors, hiding places, narrow windows and hatches, today the cule are private homes or appreciated and loved tourist units. The Brancoveneanu-inspired loggia is a wonderful place to avoid too hot summers, and the wine cellar has potential for winter shelter in front of a fireplace and mulled wine. Cula became the property of the current family in 1915, having been bought by Ion .V Voiculescu, landlord, son of the teacher Vasile Voiculescu and grandson of the peasant-deputy Ioan Voicu(lescu), who represented Gorj alongside the famous Gheorghe Magheru and Christian Tell (the historical moments were immortalized in Bucharest by the photographer Carol Popp de Szathmary - see photo). Although coming from a not very rich family, Ion V. Voiculescu still had some land that attracted the attention of the rebels during the 1907 peasant rebellion and later allowed himself to buy 250 ha from Dimitrie I. Mongescu. Cula is located on these newly acquired lands. The Mongescu family had close ties with Tudor Vladimirescu and the revolutionary movement led by him, one great-grandfather, Vasile Moanga (Mongescu), being a good friend of Tudor Vladimirescu and the treasurer of his revolutionary 1821 movement. History says that before reading the declaration in Pades, Tudor Vladimirescu and his people spent the night in the cula of Copaceni (the current Voiculescu cula in Cornesti), which at that time supposedly belonged to Barbu Viisoreanu, an influential administrator in the county and deputy of Gorj during the Organic Regulation. More recent history shows that Ion Voiculescu donated the house and the 10.5 ha that surrounded it to his son, Vasile Voiculescu, who later, in 1949, was forcibly removed from the house by communists in the middle of the night; his wealth was expropriated, the former nobleman receiving mandatory residence in a room in Targu Jiu and being forced to work as a porter in the city station, unloading freight wagons. The state neglected the cula; between 1947-1997 it was transformed into an I.A.S., with day laborers staying on the ground floor, chickens raised in the hallways and sheep sheltered in the attic in winter. The descendants of the boyar expropriated by the communists today own the building together with the 10.5 ha of land.

In the wide valley guarded by the vineyards, by the river Argeș and the river Doamnei, there is a historic house of over 150 years old and a newly built house in a park-like courtyard. The museum village was the hearth of the old Golescu family, close relatives of the Brătianu family (whose manor is less than 10 minutes away) who played an important role in the modern history of Romania, hosting over time multiple personalities including Tudor Vladimirescu by his army of panduri, Dr. Carol Davila and even Carol I. The property is located in this village, right next to Golescu Manor, borrowing from the former its charm. Golescu Manos was built in 1640 by Vişa of Golești and her husband, the boyar Stroe Leurdeanu. The holiday home is composed of two houses that bring together the important historical past of these places and the present with its comfort and benefits, the whole renovation process of the property being carried out by Moldovan craftsmen from Agapia. The property consists of a plot of 2,500 square meters and two houses: a former parish house dating from the late 19th century and a new holiday home, built in 2014. The new holiday home, built of traditionally made brick (burnt in the oven), has on the ground floor the technical room, the kitchen with a glass wall opening onto the terrace and garden, a bedroom and a spacious living room of 51 sqm. The living room has, as well, a direct opening to the covered terrace of 37 sqm which is delimited by seven pillars connected by arches, so specific to this area. The terracotta stove with fireplace and floral motifs gives the modern space a particular look. In the attic one can find three spacious and bright bedrooms and a generous hall that can play the role of living room for this floor, with an opening to a balcony of wrought iron and stone from which you can pick cherries directly from the old cherry tree guarding the entrance. The architecture, the finishes, the natural stone used in the decoration of the facades and terraces, the solid wood doors, all were designed in order to provide the maximum comfort, trying, at the same time, to keep the architectural specifics of the places. The old parish house, renovated in 2014, in which is kept as a testimony an original beam on which stands 1893 Priest Vasile Golesteanu, a priest who was one of the important ministers of the Golesti Church dedicated to the Holy Trinity and built by the same Visa and Stroe in 1646. The parish house, in which the original beams of whole oak bodies and the walls with river stone have been perfectly preserved, is renovated and ready to be used, without having a function at the moment. It could be arranged as a guest house or could even accommodate a traditional kitchen. The entire space is enchanting and you can enjoy an atmosphere of relaxation and joy in the middle of nature and a welcoming setting, with natural stone alleys bordered by firs, cedars and magnolias. There are a variety of fresh fruits in the orchard behind the house: walnuts (there are over 10 secular walnuts), cherries and sour cherries, or cherry plums and apples. The air is always clean and by going to the head of the village, you reach the valley of the river Argeș, where you can organize excellent fishing parties. All this is laid out before you, like a red carpet… So, step on your fingertips and let it lead you to the fairytale holiday home in Golești village.

An ensemble of historic houses located in the Jewish quarter of the Capital, more precisely on Romulus Street, which became a historical monument representative of the local cultural heritage, built for Colonel Teodor Vera, commander of the Howitzer Regiment, fighter of the Romanian army in the war for Romania's unifying 1916-1919, in the battles of Mărăști and Mărășești. Romulus Street, in the former Lucaci slum, is one of the most important historical streets in Bucharest, which still preserves the scent of the past. Here, in 1867, next to the house of Hermann I. Rieber, the first Rieber carriage factory was founded, which would later become a luxury car factory. Whether they lived in sumptuous villas built in the pre-war period, or in chic blocks of flats built between the two world wars, over time personalities such as Ionel Teodoreanu, M.I. Demetrescu, Anton Pann, Eugen Lovinescu, George Vraca, Ionescu Gion. Here we meet two architectural styles that form a mixed, composed of two houses built in stages, on a plot of 1,030 sqm, the main body in French neoclassical architectural style, built in 1888, and the secondary body in neo-Romanian architectural style, built in 1929 according to the plans of the architect Grigore Cerchez. The architecture of the buildings was well preserved, the architectural elements were restored after the original ones in the 2000s, preserving the geometry, texture and color of the facades, windows, doors and all the particular elements. At present, the general configuration of the ensemble represents a good opportunity for many types of activities through the multitude of access roads, both from the street and from the courtyard, the generous spaces of the rooms, the height of the ceilings and the practical compartments. The main building, built in French neoclassical style, with a height of GF + M, has an area of ​​708 sqm, and consists of 14 rooms, 2 kitchens, 5 bathrooms and 4 access doors. Decorated at the main entrance, built in rezalit, with massive Corinthian columns and continuing with the door and window frames, rich in triangles and caryatids, the main building is the point of attraction of the ensemble. The secondary building, built in 1929 in neo-Romanian style, according to the plans of the architect Grigore Cerchez, with a height of Ug + Gf + 1F + At and an area of ​​577 sqm, consists of 17 rooms, 2 kitchens, 7 bathrooms and 4 access doors. It also has a basement on 3 levels, one of which is arranged with a wine cellar. The entire basement benefits from natural ventilation, has a usable area of ​​77 sqm, and consists of a wine cellar, 5 storage rooms grouped on separate spaces. The general condition of the interior is good, with finishes such as carved solid wood doors, 2 m high windows with wooden joinery and double glazing, velux windows in the attic, marble floors, air conditioning, monitoring and alarm system 24h, internal cabling for own servers. There is independent metering for water, electricity and gas on each building, heating system with its own boiler, radiators with thermostat and temperature control on areas. The free yard with an area of ​​491 sqm, paved and equipped with night lighting system, is composed of two fragments with street access and a separate inner courtyard. The layout of the main courtyard allows the parking of up to 12 cars. This historic ensemble offers many opportunities in terms of future destinations, in the sense that it can be converted into a medical clinic, currently partly rented by a clinic, a restaurant, boutique hotel, various office activities, representation, showroom, or in a mixed-purpose, residential and business purpose at the same time.
