luxury house for sale Săliște, Romania

In central Sibiu, on Dr. Ion Rațiu Street, this historic villa preserves the architectural distinction of a bygone era while meeting contemporary expectations. The building has an imposing presence and an identity that cannot be replicated by a new development. Sibiu holds a special place among the cities of Transylvania, distinguished by its medieval centre, Saxon heritage and cultural life, which attracts visitors from Romania and abroad each year. Its growing tourism sector, active business environment and continued interest in well-preserved historic buildings support the city’s appeal for real estate investment and hospitality projects. Within this setting, a centrally located property of such scale represents a rare offering on the market. The villa provides 609 sqm of usable space and a total built area of 830.10 sqm, set on 950 sqm of land. The comprehensive restoration completed in 2022 focused on preserving the character of the building and carefully recovering its valuable features. The timber structure, original architectural details and surfaces bearing the patina of time were retained, while the infrastructure and comfort systems were upgraded to current standards. The interior comprises ten rooms, three bathrooms and two kitchens, offering considerable freedom in defining its future use. The generous rooms can accommodate residential, corporate or hospitality functions, while the arrangement across several levels allows for the creation of distinct areas. The basement could house a restaurant or a venue for private events, while the attic can be converted into offices, additional guest rooms or private accommodation. Outside, the courtyard and garden provide a sheltered setting away from the pace of the city, despite the property’s central location. The grounds can be arranged for relaxation, private receptions or as an extension of a future hospitality concept. The property also includes four parking spaces, a significant advantage for a historic building in such a well-connected urban area. The property may continue as an impressive private residence or take on a new role as a distinguished corporate headquarters, boutique hotel, premium clinic or hospitality venue. It is a building that can remain part of a family legacy or become the foundation of an investment with a distinctive identity, without losing its historic character.

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.

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.
