A trees covered hill in the back, a lazy river flowing nearby, plenty of fresh green from the forest, a clear blue sky and the feeling of that perfect vacation home! We are in Covasna, at Mereni, an old village situated at an altitude of 607 meters, and this property looks exactly like in our grandparents fairytales. With a great location on the river banks, surrounded by hills and forests, with a great view over the valley, it has all it needs for a perfect retreat: a large enough yard for all sorts of activities, plenty of rooms for the entire family, a cozy fireplace for the winter nights, a BBQ, a swing and a small pond to cover everyone’s interests.

Very well located in a dreamy natural landscape, the house in Mereni can quickly become the favourite place of the entire family.

We don't think there was a better place for this fairy tale property than Covasna, the place with virgin forests untouched by man for over 300 years. It is therefore logical that the property is surrounded by dense forest and that wood is permanently present inside as well, creating a warm, calm and inviting atmosphere. Hatod Manor is designed to receive 14 guests, being set up as a chic guesthouse. The main building has a special architecture, the slanting beams creating a fairytale atmosphere. With two communicating kitchens, two bathrooms, an office and a living room with a fireplace, the ground floor is a perfectly arranged common space. The mansion has four double and two triple rooms – bright, quiet spaces with modern bathrooms and solid wood furniture; heavy drapes keep the cold, or frost, away and invite relaxation. A wood-burning sauna, a Praid salt barrrel-- style bath, a jacuzzi and a separate living room for movies and games were also created for well-being. Children enjoy an area specially designed for them, with an outdoor playground. For parties there is a terrace, barbecue and a professional sound system, while for exploring the area the mansion provides bicycles and an ATV. The stone-walled cellar is a good home for the owner's wine collection. Illuminated green spaces and wooden outbuildings contribute to the fairytale atmosphere. The town of Ozunca Bai is located only 60 km from Brașov and 246 km to Bucharest. Those interested in exploring the area will be overwhelmed by the countless options – neo-baroque castles and fortified churches, water mills, stables, adventure parks, wildlife observatories (ostriches and bears), bike trails, horse riding and fishing and of course, mineral waters, the skunks and traditional baths.

Between the Bistrița and the Giurgeului Mountains, on the Bistricioara river valley near Borsec, there is the Corbu village, a small corner of heaven surrounded by secular forests. Here is our traditional domain, perfect for nature lovers, where they can move immediately. Everything was built and arranged in the smallest details: from the main residence villa, to the guest houses and the breeding grounds, from the terrace from which you can admire a spectacular panorama, to the wooden pavilion that invites you to relax, to the bridge over the creek that runs through the property tot the sauna and other modern equipment... all this can transpose you into a fairytale world, away from the urban tumult. Our domain, close to the Borsec mineral waters, in the middle of the nature, seems to be the perfect place for a better, healthier life.

Captured in a photograph with the sun behind it, illuminating and hiding it from view at the same time, the Nagy mansion seems to have the power to transport its guest back to the 19th century, just as Gil, played by Owen Wilson, returned to the 1920s in the film Midnight in Paris, directed by Woody Allen in 2011. The idea of traveling back in time is often used in the description of properties and therefore subject to demonetization; in the case of the Nagy mansion, it stands in certain rooms where the past comes to life through a special stove, through pieces of solid wood furniture carefully crafted and polished by time such as the two sumptuous original Saxon beds. The mansion, built in 1802 by the Hungarian noble family Nagy, today completely renovated and brought up to modern living standards, preserves original architectural details, despite its troubled history - in 1992, when the property was reacquired, it no longer had doors or windows; after the nationalization in 1949 it was used by the local IAS including to house day laborers. The story goes that Szotyori Nagy Tamásné, mistress of the manor in the middle of the 19th century, was a fearless woman who not only went to the front to look for her hero son, but offered shelter to the persecuted and, after the revolution was crushed, sent parcels to those incarcerated. In 1884, during the election campaign, in the building that later became a granary, the owner of the place hosted the well-known writer Jókai Mór. Today, the entrance through the wide gate shows a circle of flowers whose role, in addition to the decorative one, is to guide today's horse-drawn carriages to the entrance of the building. With a decent exterior and a small portico the mansion consists of a spacious ground floor and a generous attic dominated by the protective red roof over them; the two windows placed above the entrance, on the left and right are known as the queen's eyes, belonging to the most desirable room in the building. The mansion functions today as a guesthouse and has 3 rooms with matrimonial beds and 4 double rooms, all with their own bathroom. The dining room can accommodate 70 people and the old cellar is now a wine cellar, keeping visible both parts of the original foundation wall and the old roof tiles reused as flooring. The sauna, the salt room and other ways to spend quality time complete the generous offer of the outside – walks through the silence of wheat fields and potato crops or visiting the Balvanyos baths, the Cheile Varghisului nature reserve, the birch forest in Reci, the Kalnoky castle and the Zabola domain (Covasna being also known as the Land of Manors). The town of Coșeni is 13km from Prejmer, 19km from Harman and 28km from the center of Brașov. photo Florin Pepene

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 land we are proposing has a more than generous surface area, over 80,000 square meters, so that it can host ambitious plans – exclusive private residence, tourist complex, clinic or senior center, event halls, sports center or even all together, a mini-town built from scratch conforming to the demands of the present. 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.

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.
