luxury real estate for sale Poiana Brașov, Romania

Bune ș ti, Bundorf, Bondorf, Bondref, Bodndref, Bodendorf, Budendorf, Sz á szbuda - Romanian, German, Hungarian. All these names indicate the same village in Bra ș ov, Transylvania, conveniently located between medieval Sighi ș oara (36 km) and famous Viscri (6 km). Lunca Popii mansion is located here, magically overlooking the village’s fortified church. It has a typical Saxon fence that blocks the view of the curious and keeps the household quiet. The tall, rounded gate and the property fence retain their original brick roof, one that has been blown away by the wind, washed away by the rain, and covered with moss of the yesteryear. Two huge boulders guard the gate like two sheepfolds. Everything inspires a quiet life, clear directions and an attitude of looking life straight in the eye. Only the bench leaning timidly on one side of the gate speaks of the fragility of human nature, always looking for closeness to the other. The stones leading to the house with the raised porch are from local, from a nearby riverbed or ridge, not bought from a DIY store. In the evening, the outdoor lighting springs from the grass and projects a warm light that invites to storytelling and stargazing. Although the construction is recent, it give the impression of a wealthy Saxon peasant household - the cleanliness of the white and the warmth of the wood create that rare air of seriousness and stability. The winter here is snowy just like in our grandparents' childhood stories. In summer, on the other hand, the yard is filled with tall grass, flowers and trees with rich canopy; the sunbeds and the table with stone chairs are overwhelmed by this domestic green, vibrant, refreshing and restful. As in any organised household, the bread oven and the fountain with a handmade clay jug cannot be missing. The wood stack promises warm winters but also deliciously smoked grill ed food. The courtyard is configured on the typical Saxon model, divided by the large house and adjacent buildings, in this case a garage for two cars and a private parking space for another five. Enjoying an excellent position in the country’s hot area of ​​ rural tourism, the property can function both as a single-family holiday home and as a tourist cottage for groups of up to 14 people. If desired, there is the possibility of extension with constructions on a similar surface - the property includes a plot of 1221 sqm adjacent to the current courtyard of 1233 sqm. The villa has 700 sqm; was built in 2009 which gives it all the facilities of a modern, comfortable home. Exposed oak beams mark the impeccable white of the walls. Crafted tile stoves and generous fireplaces cozy up the atmosphere. The interior has an almost spartan air in the bedrooms, but this austerity is broken by small details with the glamor of faded bronze from other times. Three bedrooms on the ground floor have access to a bathroom and a bathroom, while the fourth has its own bathroom. Three other bedrooms are upstairs, with access to an impeccably polished solid wood staircase. Two of these bedrooms of about 16 sqm each share a bathroom but the strong point here is the master bedroom which surprises not only by it 40 sqm -area but also by the wooden bed canopy, dressing room, bathroom and private terrace. The view is dreamy - the hills of Transylvania are green and look like pastel watercolours from afar. The living space, with a library and living room of 80 sqm, includes a table for 12 people, a fireplace and a game table. In summertime the 60 sqm terrace on the porch becomes an al fresco living-room. The kitchen offers ample space ( 40 square meters ) ready to receive between its walls laughter, warmth and stories (the traditional stove in the well-equipped kitchen has a supply of wood on the right side, hidden from view by a curtain wrinkled like grandma's skirts).

Without a doubt, Predeal is one of the most attractive mountain resort from Romania, its history being usually compared with the ones of Sinaia. Frontier locality by 1918, and major railway route at the end of the XIXth century, Predeal was about to become in the interwar period, an important touristic hub, attracting along with Sinaia, the new social strata - sportsmen, lawyers, doctors, professional military. During this modernisation period, many of the villas were erected in the famous neighbourhood Cioplea that was becoming even from the 30’s a true touristic-sport quarter - the first installation of a trampoline (1933), the first tele-ski from the country (1934). The Gen. Cartianu Villa was built in 1937, four houses down the road from ”Căprioara” Villa, the famous holiday home of Marshal Ion Antonescu, the superior of General Cartianu. The residence has been planned with the character of a holiday house, its distinct appearance being enhanced by the used materials - the wood and the wooden crafted elements, river stones and the extraordinary roof.

When you hear ”Saxon house” the first thing that comes to your mind might be Prince Charles and his property in Viscri. An important unit of the local heritage, the Saxon houses are much more than that. More than 200 villages and many cities in Transylvania bear the mark of the Germanic civilization. And the Saxon house in Codlea, built between 1905-1907, makes no exception. The high gates, which shield the property from any indiscretion, allow for an impressive house to meet the curious eyes with its large windows, wooden beams and poles in sight, with the air of a miniature fortress. With a usable area of 450 sqm, the property is completely restored and the current owner paid a special attention to the preservation of the original architectural details. The oak carpentry has been refurbished, but for a better thermal comfort, another row of laminated wood windows has been added. The wooden doors and door frames are also modern additions, high quality replicas of the original elements. Two rows of parallel beams pass, at a height of 3.5 meters, the ceiling of the house. The attic, an open space of 130 sqm, has its own bathroom and is protected by a recently rebuilt roof with double-glazed tiles. The garage with automated access and separate central heating on each level are just some discreet elements of modernity in a context that preserves the charm of a traditional Saxon dwelling. And the property benefits from a real bonus: in the same yard there is a completely separate house with an area of more than 200 sqm, disposed on two levels. Built in 1973, this home is fully modernized and equipped. The land on which the property is located is also impressive. Spread over an area of 1826 square meters, it is composed of two distinct parts: a pretty cobbled courtyard, confined by ornamental plants, and a terraced garden with fruit trees. The areas are separated by massive walls that enhance the appearance of the typical fortified Saxon properties. In addition, the location, a keyword on the real estate market, is a special one. The property is in the downtown of Codlea, 15 kilometers away from Brasov and only 5 kilometers from the future Ghimbav airport. From the yard of the Saxon House you can admire the Postăvaru massif, and the proximity of the DN1 national road makes it an excellent choice for those who appreciate mobility.

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.

The mansion completed in 2019 has been built with contemporary finishes and following the principles of an ideal holiday home. With a view of 360 degrees over the Poiana Mărului plateau, the house has been planned with generous windows towards the mountains, the main attraction being the view towards the Northern-Eastern slopes of the Piatra Craiului Mountains. Being situated at approximately 20 minutes from Râșnov and Bran, the residence take advantage of the easy access to the medieval castles, becoming an excellent location to be integrated into the touristic circuit, as well

The settlement known today as Bod has its first documentary evidence around 1211, the archaeological records of life found here dating back to the Neolithic. After the Cumans invaded the village for several times, in 1241 it was conquered and burned down by the Tartars, this being the reason why the Saxon gave it the name ‘’Brenndorf’’, which means ‘’the burned village’’. Being just 16 km away from the center of Brasov (10 km from the ring road), Bod is easily accessible, which makes it a favorite target for both the idea of a permanent residence and a holiday home in the proximity of Brasov. The house has a typical Saxon architecture and the current owners have been extremely careful with the renovation process, following mainly two things: on one hand to preserve its character and historical charm, and on the other hand to add all the comfort and facilities necessary for the modern man today. The property consists of 2 houses, with a total of 848 sqm of build area, both completely renovated to a high quality standard. The main house dates back to the early 19th century, as shown by the inscription ‘’1803’’ on one of the solid oak beams, and was built in the specific style of that time, with thick, massive walls and high rooms. The original elements of the house were carefully restored, such as the large solid wood cabinets or the brick arches in the basement. The basement is empty, renovated and clean and can be used as a wine cellar or a spa. The ground floor s rather the living area of the house, with a beautiful and fully equipped kitchen, a dining room, a large, bright and extremely welcoming living room and a well-equipped fitness room that includes a mini-spa with sauna and a shower. The master bedroom can be found upstairs, along with an en-suite bathroom, a dressing and a large terrace that offers a dreamy view over the mountain ridges and also 2 more bedrooms, a bathroom, a desk and a lounge area where you can read or relax in front of the TV. The other house is actually an apartment, where a kitchen, a bathroom, a living room and a bedroom can be found, all of them being fully equipped and tastefully furnished. The 31sqm basement here can also have a useful function, depending on the future destination that the house will receive. The courtyard is completely landscaped with stone, lawn and ornamental shrubs, the automatic irrigation system serving both the inner courtyard and the back garden. The courtyard is also completed with a dining area and a BBQ. Behind the property’s stone walls is a garden that can be used voluntarily by the future owners. The electrically operated gates, the surveillance system with video cameras and the super-efficient heating system complete the comfort and safety need of the modern man, while the stove and the firepit will bring everyone together around the joyos wooden fire in the winter nights. The property enjoys easy access to and from Brasov, and also the newly opened International Airport in Ghimbav is only minutes away offering a quick connection with the world.

We offer you an impressive mountain villa, determined to withstand fairytale winters and cool summers. The solid, stone-clad ground floor provides a strong foundation as well as space for technical rooms, storage and garage. The floors overlap elegantly and lightly over this level, preferring wood as a protective and decorative material.

The picturesque shrubs on the property and the perfectly manicured lawn make a good impression but cannot compete with the forest that starts right behind the house. The interior is classically furnished, with cognac-colored wood pieces, warm and restful; the fireplace tames the winter, as does the well-stocked bar in the living room.

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.

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.

Sinaia is the Romanian city with the largest number of buildings classified as historical monuments per inhabitant. Not incidentally, the way the city looks today is the result of the work and signature of some of the most important Romanian architects: Ion Mincu, Toma Socolescu, Paul Smărăndescu, Duiliu Marcu or Grigore Cerchez, to name just a few of them. The Anastasie Simu House, or the Retezat Villa, as it is now known, is designed and built in the German Renaissance style of the early twentieth century by Czech architect Karel Liman. He was a good friend of King Carol I, for whom he designed the Pelișor Castle and the Honor Lobby of the Peleș Castle, all of them having in common elements specific for this artistic style. Chief Architect of the Royal House of Romania between 1894-1929, Karel Liman was born in the Czech Republic in 1855, in a family of carpenters. Inheriting the passion for woodworking from his father and grandfather, Liman follows the courses of the Fine Arts Faculty in Prague and then the Bauakademie in Munich. Established in Vienna around 1880, Liman gains experience through the collaboration with the Fellner&Hellmer Architecture Workshop in the capital of Habsburgs. He contributed to the projection plans of the Albert Rothschild Palace in Vienna, conducted under the guidance of architect Gabriel-Hippolyte Destailleur and of the Hunting House of Prince Christian de Hohenlohe-Ohringen in Javorina, Slovakia. Recommended by Destailleur to André Lecomte du Noüy, a French architect also established in Romania, Liman is employed by the Architecture Service of the Ministry of Cults and Public Instruction at the Commission for Historical Monuments in Romania, where he participated at the restoration of churches „Saint Nicholas” and „The Three Hierarchs” in Iași and the Episcopal Church in Curtea de Argeș. In the service of the Royal House, besides Pelişor Castle and the complex project for the rearrangement of Peleş, Liman also signs other projects such as the „Princess's Nest” (1894), the extension of the Cotroceni Palace, the house of Prince Carol in Bucharest, King Ferdinand’s cottage in Lăpuşna, the rearrangement of the Bran Castle and several other buildings in Sinaia: The Economat Villa, The Guard House, The Royal Stables or The Retezat Villa. After the architect's death, the house was bought by academician Anastasie Simu (1854-1935), a P.h.D in Political and Administrative Sciences, a great art lover and passionate collector, the first Romanian to build a private museum in Bucharest in 1910. In 1927, Simu donated to the Romanian state over 1.200 works: paintings, graphics, sculptures and decorative arts gathered over the years. A part of the collection is exhibited today at the National Art Museum of Romania, and another at The Simu Collection at Bucharest Pinacoteca. The architecture of the house, typical for the German Renaissance, impresses both on the outside and on the inside. The façade is predominantly of stone, dotted with corner bossages and vividly colored ceramic decorations. The interior is exuberant, highlighting the richness of wooden decorations, the coffered painted ceilings, and especially the beautiful stained glass, perfectly preserved to this day. The location in Sinaia is an ideal one, being close enough to the city centre so that it can be reached by a few minutes’ walk, but at the same time, isolated enough to offer privacy and detachment for a mountain holiday. The villa is renovated and functional, currently offering accommodation in 8 rooms, 2 apartments and 1 studio, rated with 8.8/10 on one of the most important online booking platforms. The future destination remains commercial, a hotel/boarding house or it can become a permanent personal residence or a holiday one with a lot of charm and full of history.

Located in the captivating landscape of Sinaia, the Holiday House under the Fir Trees enjoys a special location in a secluded residential area, in Furnica. Easily accessible, yet sufficiently isolated to provide a relaxing escape, it offers the perfect balance between tranquility and comfort. Radiating timeless elegance, the property features a carefully designed interior that blends traditional charm with modern amenities. The villa comprises a ground floor, first floor, and attic, with a polychrome and well-defined interior that reflects contemporary comfort, culminating in a rustic minimalist attic, open space, offering a spectacular view through generous windows. With its welcoming atmosphere, escaping the hustle and bustle of daily life is a certainty. Whether you're seeking relaxation, adventure, or a bit of both, this property harmoniously combines both. The aristocratic mountain resort town of Sinaia preserves the atmosphere of an old royal residence, with the quaint air created by its unique buildings and numerous tourist attractions positioning Sinaia among the most attractive destinations in the country.

Brown wood on the outside and warm as honey on the inside, cheerful geraniums and the pastel yellow façade make up the representative formula for mountain guesthouses that embrace the rustic in design. These features are doubled by bright interior spaces connected to the azure mountain sky through generous balconies. The courtyard is an oasis of greenery, and access is through a paved alley, flanked left and right by geraniums; 4 parking spaces are also available on the property. The building currently has ten accommodation rooms that can be reconfigured for various other uses. The privileged address 300m away from the center of the resort offer this property an enviable flexibility. Sinaia is the crown jewel when it comes to mountain tourism; with more than three centuries of history behind it, it has become a must-have address ever since Carol I chose it as a summer residence and built Peleș Castle here, in 1873-1914. And today the resort attracts many visitors, from those interested in alpine sports to those attracted by cultural tourism, a tour of the town bringing at every step the names of great architects who signed buildings that are still spectacular today, such as the Sinaia Station, the Caraiman hotels, Palace and Furnica or Sinaia Casino (it is said that Baron Edgar de Marcay, shareholder of the casino in Monte Carlo, was the first investor in the one in Prahov, in 1913 when it was built). Chic villas are designed by the most important architects of the country, among them Ion Mincu, Paul Smărandescu, Petre Antonescu, Toma Socolescu, Grigore Cerchez, Duiliu Marcu and Karel Liman, and offer a special eclecticism strongly punctuated by elements of the German Renaissance.
