luxury real estate for sale Viforâta, 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 road climbs the hill on a paved alley, flanked by conifers and acacias on the left and right. The placement of the building on a high plateau provides a wide, generous, unrestricted view of the valley. In the center, surrounded by trees, a charming little house appears, almost lost in a forest, like a modern iteration of Hansel and Gretel's story in butter, caramel, and chocolate colors. Traditional materials specific to the area - stone, brick, and tile - integrate it into the surroundings and protect it from the weather. The basement is dedicated to functional spaces - a garage for two cars, a laundry room, and a technical room. A generous main floor offers a fireplace in the lounge area and a separate dining room, along with a modern, furnished and equipped kitchen, an office, a bedroom, a bathroom, and a second kitchen that can eventually be converted into another room, as needed. Here we also have a huge terrace, where there is a grill and a stove to cover all culinary needs, as well as a balcony that surrounds the living room to provide broad access to the beautiful view and the fresh air of the area. The partially superimposed upper floor, open and airy thanks to the balcony-hall, provides three bedrooms and two bathrooms, each bedroom having its own balcony from which you can freely admire the superb surroundings. The house is designed, arranged, and maintained to offer all the comfort and facilities of a permanent residence or a vacation home, close enough to Bucharest for easy access but still in an area with clean air, privacy, plenty of greenery, and a view that recharges the soul. The pool, waterfall, fairytale view, beautifully landscaped mature garden are just a few of the elements that make this property one that can quickly become the family's favorite for short vacations, weekends, or even as a permanent residence. The Bănești commune is situated in the Doftana Valley, placing it in a dreamlike tourist and gastronomic terroir, with forests full of berries, wild mushrooms, challenging trails, and wonderful views. Here is also the monument of Aurel Vlaicu, erected in 1930, as well as the wooden church of the Holy Voivodes, dating back to 1760
