Located in the Vrancea Mountains along the Putna River, on the road which connects Braşov to Focșani, Lepșa is a true hidden jewel, with the potential to be one of the most appreciated tourist destinations in Romania. Old settlement of woodsmen and livestock breeders, Lepșa resort has fructified the benefits of the mountain area in which it is located, extremely rich in tourist attractions, with numerous trails for hiking, monasteries, waterfalls and the Tişiţei Gorges Nature Reserve. In this natural setting, in Tulnici, we encounter a perfect holiday home which meets all the criteria of such a property.

The proximity of the mountains and the forest gives this holiday home a special charm and round out the atmosphere of the ideal mountain home. The vacation house is turn key, fully finished and furbished, waiting for its future owners. Among the attractions of the surroundings, we highlight the Putna Waterfall Geological and Landscape Reservation. After the confluence with the Tişiţa brook, the Putna River flows through a narrow valley, dug in hard sandstones. The tumultuous waters of Putna have dug differently, depending on the hardness of the rocks, forming a fall of more than 12 m, thus, the area is known as the Putna Waterfall. To safeguard the natural setting, the area of 10 ha was declared protected. Also, the forestry, geological, zoological and floristic reservation Tişiţa is a protected wild area that measures not less than 5400 hectares. It includes secular forests on the Tisaru Massif and the Tişiţa Gorges. The flora and fauna are spectacular comprising many endemic and rare species: black goats, bears, deer and stag. Other tourist attractions in the area are the Lepșa Monastery, founded in 1774, Putna Natural Park, Lepşa-Zboina Natural Reserve, Mount Goru Natural Reserve, Lepşa Trout Farm, Moș Ion Roată Memorial House. Located in the heart of the mountains and the hills of Vrancea county, Lepșa is an oasis of quiet and beauty, a place where the tourist always returns to meet the wild nature but also to find himself or herself. Hiking in the wilderness of the gorges, resting on the banks of Putna river, in a wonderful landscape, or experiencing the peaceful rebounding at the Lepșa monastery are some of the pleasures of a wonderful holiday you can spend in Tulnici.

The Ceahlău Massif, referred to by Dimitrie Cantemir as the “jewel” of Moldova, is arguably the mountain that has most captivated the eyes and imagination of people. Each unique and spectacular location within this massif has its own legend, and the area is renowned for the richness and diversity of its landscapes, ranging from snow-capped peaks to majestic waterfalls and dense forests. At the foothills of the massif, near the Durău resort, a true retreat has been established. The complex's location is truly privileged, situated right in the heart of the Ceahlău National Park and only 500 meters from Lake Bicaz – itself designated as a natural aquatic reserve. Spanning nearly 2 hectares, the complex blends seamlessly into the landscape, complementing the “natural” offering with multiple modern functionalities. The heart of the retreat – its modern buildings and facilities – is shielded by a wooded area, an integral part of the property. It is the ideal place for solitary walks or picnics, longer rests, or group activities in the spaces arranged right in the midst of nature. The built area maintains natural touches: stone-paved alleys, rustic wooden accents in the construction of the spacious gazebo, and an architecture characterized by simple and clean lines. These are complemented by indispensable modern relaxation amenities: a tennis court, indoor pool, and sauna. The complex comprises two villas with a combined usable area of approximately 1,800 square meters. The first villa spans multiple levels, with the basement and ground floor designed as social spaces: a restaurant, bar, and wine cellar. The two upper floors and attic house 16 rooms, all with impressive views. The second, smaller villa has 9 rooms, with the covered pool and sauna located on the ground floor. Beyond the relaxation options and modern amenities, the location is a significant advantage of the property. It is situated along numerous mountain hiking trails leading to the Ocolașul Mare, Toaca peaks, or Duruitoarea Waterfall, and is very close to the ski slopes in Durău.

Somewhere on the way from Brașov to Intorsura Buzaului, a small river bravely dug his way through the mountains and created one of the most beautiful sceneries in Barsov's vicinity : Valea Dobarlaului. The village with the same name, located 33 km away from Brasov, managed to maintain its authentic beauty unaltered by the tourist exploitation that we see in Bran or Prahova Valley. Leaving the main road and going towards the end of the village, we will reach a small complex of vacation houses that seem to be straight out of an Alps postcard. Surrounded by forest, with the mountain rising straight at the backdoor of the houses, with alleys and common areas beautifully landscaped, with wooden and stone elements happily blended in. Only one of the six houses is fully independent from the energy point of view, with solar panels and heat pump that provide all the necessary energy resources. The house is set on a 1.000 sqm land plot, with a beautifully landscaped garden, with plants, stone, pine trees and fruit trees. In the garden we also find a winter house with a brick BBQ. The house has 4 levels, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a big living room with a fireplace and a kitchen, a huge dining room for parties and gatherings, and a covered terrace with an amazing view of the mountains. The house is fully furnished, utilated and connected to utilities and therefore fully functional. There are 3 parking places and also public transport that connects the house with Brasov. The scenery is truly spectacular while the options to spend the time are plentiful: hiking or biking the mountains around or the valley, or enjoying the available facilities like the terrace, the BBQ, the garden, the sport pitch or the small lake.The house is waiting for a family who enjoys nature and friends, who enjoy secluding in the mountains in the comfort of a vacation home that offers all facilities needed for modern life.

Harghita is an area whose appreciation has grown spectacularly in recent years; the green of the forests, the beauty of the clean and street-lined villages, the picturesque cows returning from grazing in the evening, the only 100 km to Brașov or Târgu Mureș and the long list of tourist attractions in the area are solid reasons to consider an investment in a plot of land and real estate developments on it.

The owner is willing to sell and develop a building for the buyer. If you need additional arguments, we offer you 17 activities and tourist attractions in the area: Salina Praid, Cheile Bicazului, Cheile Vârghișului, Roșu lake, Sfântă Ana lake, Zetea dam, Băile Tușnad and Borsec resorts, Mini Transilvania park near Odorheiul Secuiesc, Csíki Brewery in Sânsimion, Mikó castle, Lazar castle, Székelytámadt; Odorheiu Secuiesc fortress, Șugău cave, Tinovul Mohoș protected area, Narcissus Glade and the Lonely Stone.

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.

Sânpetru, one of the 14 establishments founded by Saxon colonists in 1211 in Țara Bârsei, was known throughout history as Petersburg, Sant Petru or Mons Sancti Petri. Called by the locals „The Old School”, one of the most important buildings in Sânpetru hosted the Evangelical Saxon School for more than a century. The now private property is undergoing a renovation process in order to receive a new function in the near future: hotel and event center. The two buildings are built in L shape on the edges of a 2500 sqm land that offers plenty of usage options. The location is very fortunate, in the historical area of Sânpetru, in the vicinity of the Evangelical Fortified Church built in 1794 on the foundation of a 13th-century church. The access to and from Brașov is facil and the view towards Lempeș Hill nearby ensures a relaxing sight. The main building facing the street, built in the second half of the 19th century, is the former school and bears an important historic value. Its main façade, recently renovated, contains neoclassic elements. The balanced proportions and symmetrical composition embellish it, with the two entrances mirroring each other. The total built surface is 1058 sqm and the four levels are basement, ground floor, first floor and attic. The conversion project implies creating a winery, dining areas and generous rooms with en-suite bathrooms and dressings. The secondary building fully renovated with premium finishings, and is fully furnished and utilated. There are 408 sqm built on two levels. At the groundfloor we have the kitchen and an big events hall. At the first floor we have two apartments that are ready to use. . With a generous land and two renovated buildings, in the immediate vicinity of Brașov but offering the fresh air that climbs down from Lempeș at twilight and the picturesque panorama of Țara Bârsei, the former Saxon School in Sânpetru can shortly become one of the touristic landmarks of the area.
