luxury house with terrace for sale Goranu, Romania

Just 6 km from the centre of Pitești, this property offers one of those rare settings in which proximity to the city coexists with the privacy of a 19.28-hectare private estate. The residence is surrounded by 18.73 hectares of its own forest, while the 5,570 sq m arranged around the house include expansive lawns and landscaped flower gardens, opening the home towards a setting that belongs entirely to it. Living on the edge of one’s own forest means more than tranquillity and the absence of immediate neighbours. The scale of the land allows for the creation of private walking trails, relaxation areas, outdoor activity spaces, or additional buildings and leisure facilities. With an estate of this size, the possibilities for personalisation are virtually unlimited, allowing the property to be shaped around the interests, lifestyle, and vision of its future owner. Built in 2020, the villa offers 516 sq m of usable space arranged across the ground floor and attic level, with a layout ideal for family life. Four bedrooms and four bathrooms are complemented by a 67 sq m hobby room that could accommodate a private cinema, fitness studio, library, or relaxation area. The 64 sq m garage provides space for two cars. The interiors bring together carefully selected materials and furnishings, from engineered three-layer wood flooring and solid exotic Meranti wood joinery to Selva furniture in the living room and principal bedroom. Eichholtz armchairs, lighting, and decorative accents appear throughout the house, while the principal bathroom is finished with large-format ceramic slabs. Underfloor heating serves the entire residence, including the garage, while four-season triple-glazed windows contribute to year-round comfort. The water supply is provided by a 140-metre-deep borehole and a private treatment system. Beyond the scale and autonomy of the estate, one of its most remarkable advantages remains its accessibility: the property creates the feeling of a complete retreat into nature while maintaining fast connections to the city centre and the motorway. Few properties combine a private forest of this scale, the freedom to transform the land according to one’s own vision, and the proximity of a major city. It is a rare opportunity to possess a private world of almost 20 hectares without the isolation and compromises usually associated with an estate of such magnitude.

Set in the hills of Ștefănești, Argeș, only 4 kilometres from Pitești, this contemporary residence occupies a 1,977 sqm plot bordered by forest on two sides. Its elevated position opens onto sweeping views of the town and surrounding landscape, in a secluded setting where the vegetation and distance from the street preserve a rare sense of quiet so close to Pitești. A private road climbs towards the property, passing the photovoltaic panels that serve the house along the way. As it leaves the public road behind, the sounds of the town gradually disappear, and the residence, garden and panorama above Ștefănești come into view. Urban amenities nevertheless remain within easy reach. Completed in 2014, the house was privately built for the owners’ family, with close attention to materials, execution and lasting comfort. It was not conceived as a resale project, an approach reflected in the solidity of the construction, its technical infrastructure and the many details tailored to everyday life. Offering around 600 sqm of built area, the residence has a five-room layout comprising three bedrooms, two with dressing rooms, a living area and an office, as well as three bathrooms. A sauna, laundry and drying room, wine cellar, garage and technical spaces complete the interior. Generous windows and the openness towards the landscape bring abundant light and far-reaching views into the home. The generous interior comfortably accommodates both the family’s daily routine and larger gatherings, while retaining an intimate residential atmosphere. The wine cellar comprises two separate rooms, one for storing the collection and another arranged for tasting and relaxation. The sauna creates a private wellness area that can be enjoyed throughout the year. Underfloor heating and ceiling cooling provide thermal comfort. The temperature is adjusted from a control panel concealed within a painting; part of the artwork can be removed to reveal it. Technology therefore remains easily accessible without interrupting the visual character of the interior. The infrastructure includes an electric generator, photovoltaic panels with battery storage, a voltage regulator and a de-icing system for the private road. The installations are also served by a separate technical building. A tall, dedicated lightning-protection mast is another major investment, particularly valuable given the property’s elevated and exposed position. The garden unfolds across two levels, connected by planted paths and green tunnels. The natural gradient defines areas for play, relaxation and outdoor living, creating different viewpoints and routes through the grounds. Children have their own playground, while a slide links the two garden levels. The swimming pool is positioned in front of the house, within the main garden and facing the open landscape. It serves as a place for daytime relaxation and a focal point for outdoor gatherings, framed by the residence, mature vegetation and views over the town. On the upper garden level, the outdoor dining area is equipped with a summer kitchen, barbecue, oven, refrigerators and television. Its position above the rest of the grounds provides views over the pool, garden and playground, allowing parents to watch the children from a comfortable setting prepared for guests and long evenings outdoors. The size of the plot leaves ample room for future personalisation. Additional play spaces or new landscaping can be introduced according to the family’s needs without crowding the grounds or compromising the privacy of the house. The exterior reveals a different character throughout the day: mornings beside the pool, afternoons spent in the garden and evenings around the table and outdoor kitchen on the upper level. From here, the view extends across the entire property towards the lights of Ștefănești and the hills surrounding the town.

A privileged region of Romania, home to some of the country’s most important historical, cultural, and aristocratic landmarks, Argeș still preserves the rare charm of old noble estates, where the aura of a bygone aristocratic world continues to endure with elegance and discretion. Among the rolling hills, orchards, and forests of this history-rich region, in Călinești, stands a Neo-Romanian manor that still evokes the refinement of an era when architecture was built to last, and residences were defined by identity, character, and prestige. Set on a generous 9,438 sqm plot, the property impresses from the very first glance through its noble and perfectly balanced presence. The Neo-Romanian architecture, with elegant arches, sculpted columns, and harmonious proportions, remains to this day a tribute to the aristocratic estates of the past, giving the domain a timeless appearance that is difficult to replicate today. The manor features a 378 sqm footprint and is arranged over Basement + Ground Floor + First Floor, each space having a clearly defined role within the residential concept of its era. Brought into the present day, the interior still preserves the warm and distinguished atmosphere of an authentic noble residence. The classic solid wood furniture, natural textures, light filtered through large windows, and generous volumes create an elegant and welcoming ambiance, where every room seems to tell a story. The ground floor is primarily dedicated to daytime living, featuring the kitchen, an expansive living area with multiple functional spaces for dining, relaxation, and social gatherings, as well as three additional rooms that may serve as bedrooms or offices. The first floor is defined by a large central room with generous glazed surfaces and an open connection to the terrace, details that transform it into an ideal social area or a refined lounge for winter evenings marked by notes of cognac and cigars. Also on this level are five bedrooms and two spectacular terraces: the main terrace overlooking the front façade, adjacent to the upstairs lounge area, and a secondary lateral terrace accessible from two of the bedrooms. One of the property’s most remarkable features is the covered terrace framed by Neo-Romanian arches — a space that invites peaceful mornings, summer dinners, and long evenings overlooking the mature garden and the green landscape of Argeș. The entire estate breathes intimacy, balance, and refinement. The basement is a blank canvas, ready to be transformed into a masterpiece tailored to its future owner’s vision: a wine cellar, a cigar room, or a private spa are only a few of the possibilities this space can accommodate. The mature and carefully composed garden perfectly complements the character of the estate. Ornamental trees, rich vegetation, and discreet pathways create the feeling of a private retreat, far removed from the rhythm of the city. This is the kind of property that impresses not through excess, but through atmosphere — through that natural and difficult-to-define elegance that only truly authentic places possess. Beyond its value as a primary residence or exclusive holiday retreat, the manor also offers remarkable investment potential. The scale of the land, the distinctive architecture, and its unique character make it ideally suited for transformation into a boutique hotel, private retreat, premium event venue, or hospitality project dedicated to refined and authentic experiences.

At the foot of the Făgăraș Mountains, in Porumbacu de Sus, Dealul Verde is a distinctive hospitality property set across 5,000 sqm of land. The estate comprises eight themed guest rooms, a lounge, sauna, heated outdoor tubs and dedicated relaxation areas. Its Hobbit-style houses, shaped by curved volumes and organic forms, blend naturally into the landscape and give the property a sense of magic that is especially appealing for nature escapes and families travelling with children. The architecture moves away from rigid lines and conventional geometry, a direction that continues throughout the interiors. Each of the eight rooms, the Artist’s Room, the Agriculturalist’s Room, the Farmer’s Room, the Blacksmith’s Room, Dorel’s Room, the Carpenter’s Room, the Weaver’s Room and the Traditional Room, has been individually designed with custom-made furniture, reinterpreted objects and numerous handcrafted details. Paintbrushes and canvases, timber, wrought iron, old tools, references to traditional crafts and authentic decorative pieces are incorporated into both the furniture and the interiors. The Traditional Room preserves some of the property’s most personal elements, including a woven shawl approximately 120 years old and a traditional rug inherited within the family, introducing genuine objects with a history of their own. The property also includes a lounge, indoor fireplace, outdoor fire pit, sauna and heated tubs, while the guest rooms are fully equipped for current hospitality use. Amenities include parking, Wi-Fi, televisions, refrigerators and a dedicated pillow menu with several comfort options. Dealul Verde is also pet-friendly. Location is one of the property’s strongest assets. Porumbacu de Sus lies directly beneath the Făgăraș Mountains, with access to hiking routes in the Negoiu area and towards Șerbota Waterfall. Castelul de Lut Valea Zânelor and Povestea Calendarului are nearby, while the Transfăgărășan, Bâlea Lake and Avrig further broaden the region’s tourism appeal. Sibiu is approximately 40 km away, placing Dealul Verde within easy reach of one of Romania’s most important cultural and tourism destinations. Beyond the city, Southern Transylvania opens onto Saxon villages, fortified churches, historic towns and Carpathian landscapes that attract both international visitors and a strong domestic tourism market. Transylvania enjoys a level of international recognition that is rare for an Eastern European destination, yet its appeal is equally strong within Romania. For domestic travellers, the region remains one of the country’s preferred choices for escapes into nature, rural tourism, local gastronomy and experiences connected to traditional life. Internationally, its visibility continues to grow through its heritage, Carpathian scenery and the distinctive character of its villages. Dealul Verde is particularly well positioned within this landscape. Its concept is already established and immediately recognizable, the eight guest rooms allow the existing hospitality operation to continue, while the 5,000 sqm of land offer scope for expanding the experience through retreats, wellness programs, outdoor activities, private events or exclusive-use stays. This exceptional hospitality opportunity is set within one of Eastern Europe’s most recognizable and attractive destinations, with the Făgăraș Mountains in the immediate vicinity and Sibiu less than an hour away. Dealul Verde has strong potential to further establish itself as a boutique destination and to continue benefiting from the growing international and domestic interest in Transylvania.

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.

Often, the most beautiful views are well hidden and require extra effort to find and enjoy them. This is the case with this holiday home, a small gem well hidden at the edge of the forest, at the end of a road that stops once it reaches the house. Located in Dâmbovița county, in Valea Lungă, the house is close enough to Bucharest to be easily accessible, just 115 km away, and only 48 km from Sinaia, which offers multiple usage options. The house is built based on an Austrian project that brings with it the feel of a chalet in the heights of the Alps. It has a unique charm and is constructed, finished, furnished, and equipped with great quality and attention to detail. The house is positioned in a truly special way, practically surrounded by the forest on three sides, and the view from the front terrace is always filled with nature. In terms of layout, the house has three bedrooms, two of which have en-suite bathrooms, a spacious living room with double-height ceilings, and a fully equipped kitchen, totaling a usable area of 180 sqm. The house sits on a fully urbanized land of 2100 sqm, plus an additional 400 sqm from the neighboring forest. The garden is spectacular, the result of the work of a team of landscape engineers who have strived to add even more charm to everything this house has to offer. The land is large enough to provide options for adding more facilities, but a 30 sqm garage is already included and available. The interior of the house emphasizes the uniqueness of the property, with quality furniture and vintage décor pieces that enhance the warmth the house exudes from the first glance. Of course, the house is fully functional, with all basic utilities, and even some extras such as underfloor heating and solar panels. With its fairytale-like setting at the edge of the forest, lush garden, terrace with breathtaking views, and warm interior, the holiday home in Valea Lungă is the kind of property you’ll fall in love with at first sight and want to escape to every weekend.

The vibrant construction set on a gentle slope is reached by a path with burnt wood and stone steps, perfectly integrated into the natural setting of the garden. The building, whose height ratio DP+P+1E+M and footprint gives it a springy air, is clad in stone that contrasts with the dark wood balustrades and geraniums that adorn the terraces and balcony. The roof descends over the ground floor terrace like a protective arm against the wind and weather and wide glazed surfaces let light bathe the interior generously. The basement, which exploits the natural difference in level of the land, is thought of as a rather administrative-logistical space - here are placed a kitchen, a storage room and a generous cellar, the thermal plant and the laundry-ironing room plus a room of 12 square meters. On the ground floor there is another kitchen and dining area, living room and two bathrooms. It is the space where family and friends gather. Three bedrooms with three bathrooms, two terraces and a balcony form the night area to which the entire first floor is dedicated; from here you can go directly to the backyard, guarded by the forest. The attic, divided into a generous open space, an office/bedroom, bathroom, hall and storage room, can function as an additional living space. The villa is offered for sale with the current equipment and classic-style furniture. This also includes the luxury of fireplaces, in the living room and in the master bedroom, perfect for relaxing in the ambiance provided by the sound of wood crackling in the fire, in the light of the burning logs. Time seems to flow a little differently in such a house, not slower but just more quietly. The image of the mountains in front rests the eye and the greenery of the property gives it another rhythm – of the rustle of the foliage and the smooth flow of the gondola nearby. The villa, surrounded on three sides by forest, is located on Calea Codrului in Sinaia, in the immediate vicinity of Taverna Sârbului Restaurant and the gondola station, i.e. in the perfect location for ski lovers and more.
