luxury real estate for sale Dâmbovița County, Romania

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 mansion known today by the name of its second owner, Timișoara-born businessman Koșca, was built in the 19th century by the Polish Hagianopol. He sold the property in 1930 but the time that has passed over it since then has not touched it; perfectly preserved and with a young spirit the domanin stands proud today, with new and attractive accessories such as the sky-reflecting pool. Protected by a belt of bushy trees strategically placed on the property boundary, the main building is white, bright and warm under its reddish new brick roof. The interior keeps the light and associates the white walls with a lot of wood - decorative beams on the ceiling, old furniture, carpentry. In one room high semi-columns are painted with flowers in autumn rust colors, outlining a chromatic leitmotif. The bedrooms are generous, gently dominated by the warmth of wood; brown terracotta stoves preserve the rustic character of the entire mansion. A gorgeous tile stove in blue and white is the piece de resistance of the living room. The area of over two hectares includes 4 buildings with their own central office and various annexes and facilities. First of all, the Mansion stands out with a built area of 306 square meters divided into 6 rooms, living room, 4 bathrooms, kitchen, cellar, porch, terrace with garden and swimming pool. The secondary house has a built-up area of 238 sqm - 4 rooms, living room, kitchen, bathroom, indoor garage, an outdoor terrace and an indoor one with a semi-round shape and large windows that offer a superb view of the valley above which the property sits. Separately we find another building - a former warehouse partially furnished as an apartment of approximately 60 useful square meters with 2 bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen. A large part of this building, however, is empty and waiting to be given a purpose. All three buildings have, in addition to the mentioned areas, high attics over the entire surface of the ground floor, attics that can be transformed by the future owner at will into useful spaces. A special building present on the land is the former nobleman's wine cellar; it has a footprint of 218 sqm and is built on three underground levels. In the past these premises had an industrial use being a mini factory of dairy products but it can be used again in its own right or as spaces for events. The orchard that surrounds the property has more than 300 fruit trees per fruit that delight guests and turn autumn celebrations in the courtyard of the mansion into real feasts. Conceived at one time as accommodation for tourists interested in the south of the country (Bucharest and Ploiești are 60 km away, Târgoviște 20 km and Pitești 40 km) the mansion receives its guests as a space for recreation and events but just as well it can support a reconversion with an emphasis on its agricultural or orchard potential. Or, why not, it can become a vacation property where the rich history and beauty of simple architecture intertwine with the amenities necessary for the comfort of modern life

Nestled within the enchanting landscapes of Dobra, the Poenaru Manor stands as a testament to the grandeur and elegance of a bygone era. Surrounded by lush vegetation and green hills, this stately residence exudes an air of mystery and historical significance, having once been the cherished abode of the illustrious boyar family of Poenaru. One of the most prominent boyar families of Oltenia, the Poenaru dynasty is a large one, with important representatives in the political, cultural and scientific life of Romania during the last two centuries. The story of the Dobra domain starts with Costadin (Dinca) Poenaru (1789-1874) who inherits and then extends family’s lands all across Mehedinți county. But is is Constantin Poenaru (1860-1946) the one that puts his entire life and energy into developing the Dobra Domain to what it is today. Approaching the manor, one is immediately struck by the imposing façade that speaks of both opulence and noble heritage. The architecture seamlessly combines Classical and Renaissance influences, resulting in a harmonious blend of intricate stonework, sober features but also delicate ornate details. As you step inside, a sense of timelessness envelops you. The interior exudes an aura of faded grandeur, with high vaulted ceilings adorned by old bricks walls that can tell some century old tales and historical events. The grand foyer, illuminated by the soft glow of antique chandeliers, leads to a series of once lavishly decorated rooms. The heart of the manor is undoubtedly the grand hall, a space designed to host extravagant gatherings and events. Towering windows allow natural light to cascade onto the large halls that lead to rooms who used to be used for living, for doing business or for spending time with friends. The expansive gardens that envelop the Poenaru Manor are a verdant paradise, with a large wallnuts orchard, vibrant flowerbeds, and meandering pathways that invite contemplative strolls. The domain contains a series of very valuable annex buildings: small renovated house (128 sqm), a beautiful former barn (166 sqm), the large storage (3 levels on a 327 sqm footprint) and a small block of apartments (2 levels on a 174 sqm footprint). The total land plot has 11 hectares , out of which 7 are owned and 4 are leased from the city hall. While time has inevitably left its mark on the Poenaru Manor, it remains a well preserved cherished jewel in Dobra's and Oltenia’s historical tapestry, a living testament to the legacy of the boyar family that once graced its halls. It can be used as such, as a beautiful residence for permanent living or for vacation, or can be turned into a small farm, a beautiful boutique hotel or a medical care center.

Set amidst the rolling hills and unspoiled landscapes near the Bucegi Mountains, Satul Prunilor is a private countryside retreat where traditional Romanian architecture, generous accommodation and the tranquillity of nature come together to create a destination with remarkable character and potential. Positioned at an altitude of approximately 700 metres and surrounded by orchards, pastures and extensive woodland, the property enjoys a privileged sense of seclusion while remaining accessible from the established resorts of the Prahova Valley. Wide open views, clean mountain air and an almost complete absence of urban intrusion define a setting conceived for those seeking privacy, authenticity and a slower rhythm of life. The estate extends over 10.500 sqm of land and has been developed as an intimate hospitality complex, with its buildings thoughtfully positioned throughout the natural landscape. At its heart are seven traditionally inspired villas, each measuring approximately 245 sqm. Designed with generous living areas and en-suite accommodation, the villas provide a total of 21 guest rooms and seven studio apartments, creating a versatile lodging capacity suitable both for individual guests and exclusive group use. Completing the accommodation is a separate traditional mansion of approximately 450 sqm, offering eight en-suite bedrooms and an impressive 60 sqm living room. Together, the residences can accommodate up to 72 guests, while preserving the privacy and independent character of the individual buildings. Beyond its buildings, however, the true luxury of Satul Prunilor lies in its setting. More than 8,000 sqm of landscaped green areas complement the surrounding natural vegetation, while the wider estate opens towards expansive meadows, orchards and mountain scenery. The landscape has been carefully maintained with an emphasis on ecological management, preserving the property's rural character and the biodiversity of its surroundings. Generous parking and circulation areas, connections to local utilities and dedicated wastewater infrastructure provide the practical foundations required for an established hospitality operation, discreetly integrated into the landscape. Equally suited to continued operation as a boutique mountain retreat, an exclusive-use hospitality destination, a corporate and wellness retreat or a private estate of considerable scale, Satul Prunilor offers something increasingly difficult to find: space, privacy and genuine connection with nature, combined with an already established hospitality infrastructure. More than a collection of villas in the countryside, it is a place designed around the landscape itself — a secluded world in which mornings begin with open mountain views, days unfold among meadows and forests, and the quiet of the surroundings becomes perhaps the property's greatest luxury.
