luxury houses for sale Romania (page 5)

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.

Ideally nestled between the endless rolling hills of the Dealul Mare wine region and the scenic road leading to Vălenii de Munte and Cheia, this charming luxury retreat enjoys a privileged location for those seeking balance between nature, refinement, and accessibility. 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. With tall firs, mature pines, exotic vegetation, and a garden that radiates calm and balance, this estate in Mehedința is a truly rare find – a place that, though close to Bucharest, feels like an entirely different world: a slow, graceful dance between elegance, comfort, and pure nature.

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

In Comarnic, green is at home; thousands of trees stretch billions of leaves towards the sun and spread shade and coolness around. In one of the high areas, on a tongue of land drowned in greenery, there are two identical houses; the "twin sister" is positioned at the back, not at all invasive in terms of privacy. The villa for sale, a modern and discreet construction at first impression, reveals its true elegance only from the glass-enclosed terrace – soft textiles in sand colors announce the chromatics of the entire house, and the exposed brick, the fireplace, the shades of cement gray and the dark metal joinery complete the atmosphere of a space designed to relax without being boring. In addition, being equipped with the necessary for an al fresco dinner, the panorama is guaranteed to be admired in the evening, when the forest darkens in the colors of twilight. The interior of the ground floor (kitchen, dining room, living room, one bedroom, bathroom and terrace) exploits the difference in level in an intelligent way, obtaining a decorative and functional step between the open kitchen and the living room. With a fireplace and soft colors, the living room is comfortable but with a certain alert feeling - here time does not flow, does not pass but is lived, enjoyed. The same goes for the first floor, where there are three bedrooms carefully decorated, with soothing shades; a luxury hotel atmosphere prevails with rounded asperities and discreet, stylish, chromatically articulated bathrooms. The master bedroom has a bathroom, sauna and a small terrace with a view. The design project is made and implemented by Simetrica Design; the furniture and materials are premium, as are the electronic equipment. The house is perfectly functional, the heating is done through the floor throughout the house (gas central heating). It has air conditioning and all the facilities, plus a person from the area who takes care of daily maintenance (cleaning, mowing the lawn, changing bedding, washing, etc.) which makes it very attractive as an investment for the purpose of tourist exploitation (AirBnB). Comarnic, for many just a town on the way to the mountains, has recently become extremely attractive for those looking for a clean place not far from Bucharest. It entices with hot bread and bagels on the main street, but the real treasures are hidden - the Lespezi hermitage, a hermitage of monks from 1661 and painted by Parvu Mutu the Painter; the Saint Nicholas church is newer, only from 1905, but it boasts a magnificent icon donated by Gheorghe Valentin Bibescu and Martha Bibescu. The Posada Hunting Museum with its exhibits - animals, weapons, hunting trophies. The spectacular Doftana Valley is also just a stone's throw away, and the more popular mountain resorts are not much further away either. Out of a complex with four plots, the property owns three plots, two are available for construction.

In the heart of Snagov, where the calm of the water meets the shade of century-old trees, lies a truly spectacular residence — a contemporary lakeside retreat created for those who value discretion, elegance, and an authentic connection with nature.

The high ceiling, solid wood finishes, and elegant fireplace create a warm yet refined atmosphere, ideal for moments of reflection and retreat. The night area features three bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom, ensuring privacy and comfort, while the oversized dressing rooms add both convenience and charm. The kitchen, a genuine French design masterpiece by Grange – France, is fully equipped with Miele, La Cornue, and Liebherr appliances, blending vintage elegance with state-of-the-art technology. An elegant office and a guest bathroom complete the layout, addressing all the needs of modern living. Outdoors, the property truly shines. The landscaped garden unfolds in a play of light and greenery, carefully designed for privacy and depth. Mature trees, manicured lawns, a private swimming pool, a gazebo with barbecue, pizza oven, and cooktop, a pontoon with direct lake access, and a boathouse together create a haven of relaxation and wellbeing. Functional additions such as an annex with laundry and bathroom, a children’s playground, parking for three cars, and photovoltaic panels further enhance its comfort and independence. This property is not just a lakeside villa, but an expression of perfect harmony between modern comfort, nature, and intimacy. Every detail — from the geometry of the terraces to the reflection of the lake in the living room’s windows — seems designed to turn every day into a serene, elegant experience. Its uniqueness lies in this rare balance: refined architecture, a mature garden, direct lake access, and a tranquil atmosphere that only Snagov can offer.

In the picturesque Pădurea Craiului Mountains, where the air is pure and the landscape resembles a dream, an exceptional property reveals itself. Discreetly nestled in a pastoral meadow, within the bucolic village of Negreni, this estate embodies the art of living in perfect harmony with nature, without compromise on refinement or potential. The Main Residence – A Stone and Wood Sanctuary Built with care and respect for tradition, the main residence offers a five-room retreat. Four bedrooms provide peace and privacy, while a generous living room—featuring a fireplace and privileged views over the natural garden—invites intimate conversation or quiet contemplation.

The Authentic Barn – A Gateway to Possibilities Preserving its original architectural charm, the traditional barn stands as a tribute to old-world craftsmanship. For its future owner, it represents a blank canvas—ready to be transformed into a spectacular gazebo, an artist’s studio, or a discreet lodging unit. Beyond personal use, it also offers the potential to generate additional income or expand the property’s capacity for hosting. The 3-Hectare Domain – The Dimension of Privacy Stretching across more than 30,000 square meters, the domain is curated by nature itself. Forest, meadow, and rolling hills embrace the property, ensuring absolute privacy. Within this sanctuary you will discover a well with crystalline water, a small clear pond reflecting the sky, and a fire pit where evenings unfold beneath a boundless canopy of stars. At the same time, convenient access ensures a seamless connection to the world beyond, without compromising the feeling of a secluded refuge. Unlimited Potential – A Storybook Life Whether envisioned as a permanent residence of rare tranquility, a restorative retreat, or the foundation for an exclusive hospitality project—guesthouse, eco-camping, or wellness retreat—this estate responds with grace and limitless possibilities.

In the historic heart of Timișoara, where the city’s story has unfolded over centuries, rises the Szana Palace — a Class A historical monument that appears less like a mere building and more like a jewel carefully set into the urban fabric. Built between 1921 and 1922 to the designs of architect Josef Kremer Jr., at the initiative of banker and philanthropist Sigismund Szana, the edifice seamlessly blends the eclectic charm of its era with the solemnity of neoclassical lines, the delicacy of Secession details, and the subtle modernity of early Art Deco. Its façade, marked by Ionic columns and an elegant pediment, opens like a grand curtain, inviting one to step into a universe of refinement. On the very ground where the palace stands today, layers of history have succeeded one another across centuries: medieval churches, an Ottoman mosque, and later a Jesuit sanctuary. Each era left its imprint, and all of these memories now converge in the walls of Szana Palace, transforming it into a place where the past feels alive — like a story whispered between columns and arches. The palace is not only an architectural landmark but also a testament to the prosperity of an era when Timișoara embraced modernity with ambition and elegance. It once housed the Szana Bank, an institution that supported the city’s most emblematic industries: from Kandia chocolate to the Timișoreana brewery, from the Bega Mill to textile factories. Within its rooms linger the echoes of business negotiations, diplomatic exchanges, and artistic encounters, while the footsteps once heard in the Marble Hall still seem to summon elegant soirées and cultural evenings that gave the building its soul. Today, with a usable area of 345 square meters, Szana Palace opens its doors once again as a sanctuary of elegance, carefully restored and returned to the cultural life of the city. Home to the Romanian Writers’ Union and artistic events, it retains its aristocratic air while at the same time breathing the freshness of the present. Here, the sunset gently caresses the sober façade, while inside, the silence of the walls invites the imagination to dream of the future. Szana Palace is not merely a property available for acquisition. It is a page of history, a promise of prestige, and a space awaiting its new custodian to continue the story. For those who seek more than real estate — for those in search of a symbol, a legacy, and a stage where the beauty of the past meets the aspirations of tomorrow — this unique building represents a rare and unrepeatable opportunity.

Just 20 minutes from Baia Mare, this comfortable property is located next to the Iz de Maramureș resort, to which it also belongs. It can serve as a hunting lodge, holiday home, or staff residence for those managing the neighboring estate, given its close proximity. While at Iz de Maramureș wood is used in traditional combinations with stone and wool, here it takes on a modern expression—paired with metal and warming up interiors that might otherwise feel dark, creating contrast and ambiance. With generous spaces and smart layout, the house offers contemporary comfort within a courtyard that retains the charm of the past. Its location in Șurdești, Maramureș—a picturesque village with stunning landscapes and UNESCO heritage status—makes it ideal for those seeking the authentic peace of rural life and the charm of a traditional community.

This luxury real estate is located in a wooded valley, near the Voroneț River and only 4 km from the famous UNESCO heritage monastery. The two holiday homes complement each other in a bold architectural project, which uses and integrates every detail of Bucovina’s scenery. The first house is a very special and premium property, award-winning project at the National Architecture Biennale - 2023 edition as well as the Romanian Design Week 2024 edition. The materials, textures and shades - concrete, tree bark, steel are different from the classic residential options, based on brick and wood, bringing in a balanced industrial air, which contrasts but also complements the natural environment. The architects were not afraid of unevenness, slopes - the peculiarities of the location dictated the form following the function - they embedded diaphragms in the slope, supporting the house on pillars and thus giving it suppleness. The concept is focused on the idea of a "floating mystery box", anchored in the slope that also follows the slope of the land and is bonded with the landscape through discreet chromatics. The concrete infrastructure, with diaphragms placed perpendicular to the slope as a plinth, is left exposed. The integration into the landscape is ensured by the finishes of treated wooden battensimitating tree bark and corten steel with the typical rust shades of autumn leaves. The entrance is marked by two blue "V" shaped pillars - a disc reet tribute to Voronet Monastery symbolic colour - and invites you into a sequential space, built on half levels, with wide windows framing the outdoor landscape. With a 230 sqm carpet area, the house is organised on 2 levels and has also a garden terrace. The bright open atrium area connects all the spaces of the house. On the ground floor, the common spaces are placed at different heights. The refined living area starts with the refurbished and perfectly functional Laugerger & Gloss Mascagni grand piano accompanied by English sofas and armchairs and a minimalist fireplace - a reminder of the hearth in traditional homes. The 3-meters high window, central glass panel, frames both the Voronet river as well as the winding pathway in a fairytale frame, the Yin and Yang intersects in the heart of the home. The kitchen is placed at a higher level than the living area. The pièce de résistance, in addition to the top-of-the-range appliances, is the volcanic ash lava table, produced in a limited edition of 28 pieces by Swoonseditions. The second house Villa Trésor, is already a successfully branded business in Bucovina’s area with a large clients portfolio. Built in a "clean" style, the exterior design stands out for its minimalism and attention to detail spotted in window decoration or the repetition of the high ridge roof, on a smaller scale, at the entrance or its contemporary reinterpretation in the case of the gazebo. The gazebo is equipped with sink, grill and fireclay-clad pizza oven. Also outside, there is a 6 person wood-burning sauna and a luxury swimspa that can be used throughout the year. The built-up area of 200 sqm is organised on two levels. The interior design has strong English accents, from the handmade antique copper radiators to the vintage Victorian brass doorknobs. The doors and stairs are made of solid ash wood. The downstairs living and dining rooms are spacious and airy, showcasing limited edition handcrafted pieces of furniture, a fireplace and the living room wallpaper by Dutch designer Piet Hein Eek.Each of the four bedrooms has its own specific theme featured in the interior design elements of both the rooms and the related bathrooms. Rooms have double beds, thermal curtains, and the bathrooms have stucco wall finishes. The attic is multifunctional: either the perfect space to relax and socialise in the sitting area or the proper environment for an office in the workspace.

There is much to be said about this property, located ad litteram at the foothills of the Cindrel Mountains, with the forest beginning just 30 meters away. Among its many features, however, the autonomy provided by carefully selected technologies places it in a special category—that of sustainable homes, harmoniously integrated into the natural environment surrounding them. Energy independence is ensured through the installation of photovoltaic solar panels, complemented by a three-phase connection to the public electricity grid. Built in 2015, the house has a total surface area of 203 square meters. The ground floor is constructed from monolithic reinforced concrete, while the upper floor features a modular timber system, providing the building with resistance to earthquakes exceeding 7.5 on the Richter scale. A rainwater harvesting system feeds two tanks with a combined capacity of 10,000 liters, used for garden irrigation, offering a valuable supplement to the public potable water network. The entire system is protected by a voltage stabilizer and an automated diesel generator that serves the entire property. Thermal comfort is ensured by a gas-powered central heating system as well as a Viessmann wood-fired boiler with a buffer tank. Additional amenities include a video surveillance system, burglar alarm system, fire protection system, and more. All these impressive features are set on a 1,300 sqm plot, with the possibility of extension up to 1,800 sqm. On the ground floor, the focal point is the fireplace, a work of the renowned artist Mihai Iancovescu, which adds elegant accents to the relaxation area, creating a calm and comfortable living environment. Supporting the living space, the ground floor also includes a summer kitchen, a wine cellar, and a technical room. The sleeping area comprises three bedrooms (the master bedroom featuring a walk-in dressing room), two bathrooms, a hallway, and a technical room. Outside, in the inner courtyard bordered by fruit-bearing trees, there is a fully equipped gazebo ideal for outdoor dining, featuring a pizza oven, barbecue, bathroom, and storage space.

In a quiet corner of Breaza, where the air is pure and the mountains watch from afar, rises a residence that seems lifted from the pages of an architecture magazine — a modernist manifesto of clean design, functional elegance, and seamlessly integrated technology, all embraced by a lush, living landscape that flows not only through the surroundings but also into the heart of the property. This one-of-a-kind estate was envisioned and created from the ground up for those who seek understated luxury, harmoniously woven into the rhythm of contemporary life. Bold rooflines, expansive windows that draw natural light into every corner, generous volumes and perfectly balanced proportions make this villa an architectural landmark. But its beauty runs far deeper than its striking exterior. The home is fully energy-independent — equipped with solar panels and heat pumps — and entirely manageable remotely via a smart home system that is as discreet as it is efficient. A residence that anticipates, adapts and responds, delivering seamless comfort and a living experience aligned with the standards of 2025. The interior echoes the sophistication of the exterior, while elevating comfort and luxury to new heights. On the lower ground floor, a hidden universe awaits: a cozy wine cellar for collectors, a flawlessly organized technical room — the brain of the home’s entire infrastructure — and a private mini cinema, a fully soundproofed media room outfitted with cutting-edge technology where evenings can become private premieres. On the ground floor, luxury takes on multiple forms. A private wellness zone includes a heated indoor pool, a fitness area, and a sauna — transforming the home into a personal sanctuary for health and well-being. This level also features a spacious, light-filled living room that opens fluidly onto the terrace, a fully equipped modern kitchen, a pantry, a dining area, a study, and a guest bedroom. The first floor is dedicated to serenity and privacy: a primary suite with dressing room and en-suite bathroom that opens to a wide terrace overlooking the garden, plus two additional bedrooms sharing a second bathroom, a cozy lounge area, and yet another terrace offering sweeping garden views. The attic is a fully finished yet flexible space — a blank canvas awaiting its purpose, whether as a self-contained apartment, creative studio, library or artist’s atelier. Outside, the landscaped garden breathes elegance and calm, framed by decorative plants, sculptural trees and an immaculate lawn. A covered terrace complete with BBQ area, outdoor dining and lounge zone invites you to enjoy long summer evenings and unhurried weekend brunches. Altogether, the property offers over 250 sqm of beautifully designed terraces — perfect extensions of the interior that blur the boundaries between indoor comfort and outdoor living. Every element has been carefully curated: premium finishes, custom-made furnishings, integrated audio, ventilation, heating and cooling systems — all executed to the highest standard. Nothing has been left to chance — every detail tells a story of taste, comfort, and vision. Set on a 2,329 sqm plot, with nearly 500 sqm of refined living space, this residence stands as a bold declaration for those who value not just beauty, but the very idea of home — reimagined with intelligence and soul.

Wrought iron balcony in the reddish chocolate color of the carpentry from another century. Richly ornamented façade, with generous frontispiece and elegant door and window frames with vegetal elements, masquerades, chain and denticles. Beautiful cartouches, the symbol of the egg. All that on the façade. A house that is not too big, but not stingy either - at 328 square meters of usable area, it is much more generous than the narrow façade lets you see, boldly slipped between two other old buildings, already renovated and restored to life. The small property is pretty much everything we love about the old buildings of Bucharest, what gives charm to the old areas and what we imagine when we read Simona Antonescu's novels set in a past Bucharest, where the buildings housed the business and the family under the same roof, only on different levels. In this case, a furrier’s shop, probably flirtatious and fashionable once, today a reminder of the passage of time and styles. With this building we propose Bucharest on a small scale, flirtatious and essentialized in a façade that causes day dreaming and a little benign envy. In addition to the versatility of opportunities to exploit a property with an excellent address - 500m from the University Square - it also offers the chance to contribute to changing the face of the city by recovering and restoring its ageless beauty.

The outdoor area completes this idyllic scene: a landscaped garden, a solid wood gazebo, BBQ area, a large terrace for social gatherings, and a wide variety of fruit trees and ornamental plants, all contributing to an authentic lifestyle in harmony with nature, in a private and elegant setting.

Practicality meets comfort through a two-car garage with direct and easy access into the house. With a total built area of 856 sqm, including nearly 100 sqm of terraces, the villa was constructed with great attention to detail, using only premium finishes, high-end furnishings, and bespoke decorative elements — designed for private use, with no compromises: t riple-glazed thermal windows with mahogany wood finishes on the interior, interior doors made of solid oak, interior windowsills made of marble and exterior ones of granite, flooring that includes bamboo parquet and Botticino marble, fireplace on the ground floor and another at the basement level, lighting fixtures include Swarovski crystal chandeliers on the ground floor and Murano glass lamps in the other areas. These are just a few of the elements that set this home apart This property doesn’t just offer space – it offers a lifestyle. A place where time slows down, where refinement meets nature, and where every corner tells a story

The work of the renowned Sighisoara-born architect Fritz Balthes, the school in Bruiu/Braller, like those in Cincșor, Gherdeal and Veșeud also signed by him, enjoys a central location in the immediate vicinity of the fortified evangelical church, an object of interest both for the community and for tourists. A photograph from 1923 shows it as a solid but not necessarily rigid building; even in black and white, the school, which respects the local style, offers an expressive play of volumes, fragmented and completed by a small tower. The building, completed in 1913, is an expression of the Transylvanian architect's personal Secession style - floral, vegetal and geometric motifs blending harmoniously. Currently, all the elements and details of the construction are identified and documented, and there is also a considerable volume of official documents in this regard. In Saxon communities, school has always had an important role, being essential for preserving identity; history has even noted that the first attested institution dates back to 1380 and that, for the first time in Europe, in 1722 primary education for boys and girls was established by them (by comparison, in England this only happened in 1870). The building is L-shaped with three access ways - the main one through the front in the middle area and two secondary ones (student access and the private one to the teacher's home) in the courtyard of the building, through the two opposite ends of it. The volume having the P+1E structure has one classroom per level; the S+P volume facing the street with the long side functioned as a space for the chancellery and the teacher's residence. The cellar consists of several semi-cylindrical vaulted rooms. The former school in Bruiu has high and bright rooms separated by hallways with white walls gathered in pastel belts, with columns and sturdy balustrades. All areas retain the original pavement made of prefabricated mosaic tiles with discreet colors (gray, red, black, beige). The tiles are arranged in a checkerboard pattern or make up perimeter borders, with each room having its own custom pattern. Other original elements are the window hardware, the complex beam structures supporting the cladding and the solid oak steps throughout the building. Existing modern utilities include three-phase current, running water, fiber optic internet. The Saxon school is probably the only rural building with a known author in the village; returning it to the wider community by harnessing its cultural tourism potential can only be a win-win project. An example of good practice is the former Saxon school in Cincșor, purchased over time, together with the parish house and other housing, by a former student and transformed into Cincșor Transylvania Guesthouses, a successful development. The other former schools designed by Fritz Balthes in Veșeud and Gherdeal were recently purchased to be renovated and included in the tourist circuit; the former cultural center in Șomartin, also signed by Balthes, is also currently under renovation. Bruiu is located 60 km from Sibiu and 100 km from Brașov, which gives the future owner access to two of the most attractive tourist areas in the country, strongly marked by the Saxon heritage so appreciated by modern travelers. In the area: • The Cistercian Abbey of Carta • Hatibaciu Valley • Fagaras mountains • The Saxon villages of Viscri, Meșendorf, Biertan, Alma Vii, • Richis, etc • Fagaras Fortress photo Florin Pepene

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.

A unique ethnographic area in Romania is “Mărginimea Sibiului” (the surroundings of Sibiu) with its picturesque lands at the west of Sibiu, stretches from the Sadului Valley to the Săliște River Valley, comprising 18 fairytale settlements, including Săliște. This area represents without a doubt one of the strongest tourist brands in Romania and one of the most beautiful, picturesque and authentic traditional areas in Europe, receiving in the past the title of "European Destination of Excellence" from the European Commission. The charm of the location is given by the spectacular landscapes, the villages seem frozen in time with customs and traditions preserved with sanctity to this day, with the old buildings and churches classified as historical monuments with their special charm, with local festivals and fairs but also with the traditional gastronomy now famous in the whole country and beyond. Săliște , situated only 21 km away from Sibiu, fits perfectly in the typology of these places, it was documented for the first time in 1354 and became a city in 2003. In a city filled with historical beauty, one of the buildings really stands out through its spectacular architecture and its really great positioning right on the river bank, in the city center. It is castle dating back to the beginning of the last century, that is today partially renovated, with the interior in a pretty good condition requiring only finishings, while the exterior requires an overall renovation of the facades. The castle has a 350 sqm footprint and is built on 3 levels: demibasement, groundfloor and first floor, to which we can add the attic that can also be turned into usable space. The demibasement has large salons and a few small rooms, while at the next 2 levels we find 18 rooms with en-suite bathrooms plus two more free standing rooms. The first floor also has two large terraces that offer an amazing view of the mountains around. The interior maintains the historical character of the building, with beautiful brick decorations, high ceiling rooms with large windows, while the large cast iron stairway is the central piece that brings all elements together. Separately there is an additional smaller building with a small and charming apartment on the first floor, and free space to be used at will at the groundfloor. Being very close to Sibiu, with a beautiful architecture and in a good condition, this castle in Săliște can be easily turned into a charming boutique hotel, or maybe a clinic or a cultural center.

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.

In the world of architecture, sometimes projects are born that exceed the traditional boundaries of residential design. The Sun House is one of those remarkable stories. A project that perfectly illustrates how cutting-edge technology and sustainability can coexist harmoniously in a natural landscape. What makes the Sun House so special? An architecture that maximizes solar energy, executed to the passive house standard, with an all-wood structure, a smart yet user-friendly home, and an active, edible garden. The Sun House was an ambitious idea that came to life in 2018, in the expansion area of Otopeni, in the immediate vicinity of the Bucharest ring road. With a unique shape and a design that departs from the traditional conventions of homes, it is an example of energy efficiency that maximizes the power of the sun. It has been certified as a Passive House Plus, according to the international standard of the Passive House Institute in Darmstadt. In Romania, there are a total of three certified Passive Plus houses. One remarkable aspect of this residence is the integral use of wood, creating a natural and pleasant ambiance. The ground floor is made of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT), a cutting-edge material with structural walls that allow generous openings without the need for supporting pillars or beams. The ground floor is conceived as a central space (the living area) from which the other living rooms are distributed. The floor plan organization, inspired by the archetype of courtyard houses, uses the living room both as a central living space (for cooking, dining, and conversation) and as an interior courtyard from which the bedrooms are entered. The central room naturally extends to the exterior garden on the south side but also visually communicates with the greenhouse, featuring a skylight integrated into the greenhouse floor. However, the greenhouse has external access, as the two levels of the house have different energy performances and independent comfort assurance systems. Above the living space, in the attic area, the spectacular greenhouse adds a unique element - an open space that can be transformed into a flexible, green, and bright living space, with a partially opaque roof on the north side and mostly transparent elsewhere, allowing natural light to penetrate. The garden surrounding the Sun House is ideal for nature lovers. The landscaping was designed in parallel with the architectural plans, with the project theme being an edible garden that provides increased privacy. With an impressive number of plants, fruit trees, shrubs, aromatic plants, and fresh vegetables, the property not only enriches the landscape but also becomes an active yet relaxing space that offers a source of fresh and healthy food. The Sun House is an extraordinary example of a home designed for the future. It is a profound commitment to innovation, sustainability, and environmental respect. A warm, friendly, and bright refuge, an open space for family and friends, in a young community and an area shielded from the noise and hustle typical of urban crowds.

One of the beauties of Little Paris, built in the interwar period, in an era with magical resonances about well-being and happiness, was a father's wedding gift for his daughter. A house built with a lot of love, attention to detail and respect for beauty came to life in the former Mântuleasa slum, a short distance from Izvorul Rece Park and Carol I Boulevard. Mântuleasa slum was founded during the Brâncoveni period outside the city and was to develop around the church of the same name, being incorporated in the hearth of the city in 1752. Personalities such as Mihai Eminescu, Mircea Eliade, Petre Țuțea, Panait Istrati or Mircea Vulcănescu, lived and created in the houses with Parisian perfume in the famous slum. Built at the end of 1927, with a four-level layout, the house was designed for practical, generous spaces that would fully benefit from natural light through tall windows. The Neoclassical style with harmonized elements predominates on the outside and continues elegantly on the inside, with floral friezes on the walls and lacy scaffolding on the ceilings. The current owner, a lover of beauty, took care for three years of total consolidation and restoration, with the preservation of all the original elements, a process by which this architectural jewel was reborn and became more than just a living space. The structure was uncovered and consolidated, the sanitary and electrical installations were changed, the roof was changed and equipped with double glazed windows with laminated wood frames, operated by remote control, the interior doors and windows were made of laminated wood, the bathroom and kitchen floors they were made of painted cement, the other rooms have oak parquet, split air conditioners were installed, two fireplaces were added, one on the ground floor and the other on wood in the attic. It also has a unit for monitoring and coordinating internet connections, telephone, audio sound, fire alarm and video surveillance. Once the wrought iron gate opens and you step inside, an intimate and chic courtyard is revealed to you, decorated with roses and hydrangeas, cool in summer and illuminated with spotlights at night. Approximately 3 cars can be parked in the yard. The charm and elegance of the interwar period awaits you at a short distance from the center of the Bucharest, in a house full of positive energy, which carries on with dignity, the scent of the past.

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.
