luxury house for sale Porumbacu de Sus, Romania

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.

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

This interwar building, design in Neo-Romanian style, is located in Sibiu, in the immediate vicinity of the 15th century medieval fortified enclosure. The ensemble is classified in the List of Historical Monuments in Romania by order no. 2030/2014 with code SB-II-a-B-21084, and includes: the main residence (SB-II-m-B-21084.01), the first annex (SB-II-m-B-21084.02) and the second annex (SB-II-m-B-21084.03). According to cartographic sources, around 1875 there was another building on the place of the current one. In 1909, the plot was owned by Henrik Baumann, in 1929 the ownership right was registered for Luiza and Friedrich Baumann. The inscription on the portico’s floor and on the façade indicates its year of construction as 1929, the project being signed by architect Alfred Cernea, as the concrete slab on the façade indicates. Most likely, the project was commissioned by Dr. Liviu Turcu. The present building is emblematic for its Neo-Romanian style. The characteristic features are: massive volumetry, highlighting the central body, loggia with short and thick columns, carved wooden structures inspired by the vernacular architecture, trilobed arches, openings with semi-circular closure and rich decorations with Oriental motifs. The central side of the façade is taller than the other parts, which is also highlighted at the roof. The central area of the ground floor contains a window with semi-circular closure, framed by two embedded Corinthian columns. The floor of the central part is the richest ornamented part of the façade, elevated by the balcony, supported on four massive consoles, decorated with arabesque panels. The loggia opens through three tall trilobate arcades. The façade surfaces around the arches are decorated in an exuberant style with spindles, flowers and arabesques. The main façade of the building offers a panoramic view of the entire garden, at the center of which is an ornamental pool. The access to the yard is made through an alley flanked by tall trees. Designed as an urban villa-style residence with a park around the central building, it initially hosted the Dr. Bolintineanu Sanatorium, and in November 1936 it became Dr. Antal's "For Births and Female Diseases" Clinic. The building was nationalized in 1948 with this function, soon becoming the headquarters of Sibiu General Sanitary Inspectorate, then a kindergarten, a function preserved until the 1990s. In 2000 the villa and the parcel were returned to the heir family. Today, the imposing building keeps almost intact its original design, projected by architect Cernea, with the valuable decorative elements of the façades. The two annexes were also preserved, realized in a unitary architectural design, the fence near the street along with the main gate, the alley lined by trees, the rampant, the staircase and the basin in front of the main building. Inside, valuable items have been preserved, such as decorative paintings of the ceiling and the original carpentry. Other main attractions add up to the exquisite architectural details, such as: the generous yard of over 5000 sqm and the proximity to The Big Square in Sibiu, located at only 200 m. An outstanding witness of the only national architecture program in Romania, located in a central area of Sibiu, this splendid interwar villa is silently and hopefully waiting for its new owner.
