luxury real estate for sale Maramureș County, Romania

For passers-by, whether villagers or visitors, this is a proud household, beautifully renovated and respectful of the past and tradition - with a shingled roof, a porch made of intricately carved burned wood, and a fence, like all Maramures fences, protected from rain and bad weather; moreover, a formidable oven is ready to bake bread and pies in a well-equipped gazebo.For those who will inhabit it, the property elegantly blends tradition with the new; warm wood completely covers the attic on the walls, floor, and ceiling, making way for a minimalism that reaches its peak in the bathroom, where the tub overlooks the road that separates the greenery in two. The living room on the ground floor, however, retains the colours of childhood at grandma's - with walls painted with a roller and border with small and cheerful flowers; the benches and the green buffet, as generous as grandma's arms, blend well with the fireplace placed in the corner. The atmosphere is rich in contrast with the minimalism of the upper floor, but both are soothing, nurturing. From the hallway of the house, you enter two apartments, each having a room on the ground floor and one on the upper floor, a bathroom, and a small space, a niche for playing/reading. On the ground floor, there is a shared bathroom, and in the basement, there is a cellar. The attic has been raised by 50 cm to accommodate the rooms. The Velux windows are large to ensure natural light, and the small balcony is sufficient to allow for terrace furniture.A second gazebo is arranged along the property line; nearby are the wooden tub and an old stable, with the roof rebuilt over the three rooms in which traditional old objects are currently exhibited. There are three parking spaces on the property, but two more cars can be parked nearby. The property is connected to electricity, has a 5kw photovoltaic system installed, water is taken from the public network and from its own wells, one traditional and one utility, and there is a septic tank in the courtyard. ,photo Florin Pepene

The town of Şomcuta Mare is located in the south-western part of Maramureș County, connected to the European road E58, Baia Mare - Cluj Napoca, at a distance of 25 km from Baia Mare. The popular tradition says that the name of Șomcuta Mare springs from the cornel shrubs that were found in abundance in these places, that once gave the name of the forest near Văleni village – Corneasa. Regarding this forest, it is said that it stretched over the borders of Şomcuta Mare and that, in the middle of it, there used to be a fountain, around which the community developed. From the first history records, it is shown that Șomcuta Mare had a predominantly Romanian population. This is proven by all the evidence that has been preserved in this regard about the Chioar Domain – where Șomcuta Mare was a part of. One of the historical monuments in Șomcuta Mare, this imposing building was built by the Austro-Hungarian State, between 1880 and 1890, to function as the Chiorean Commercial Bank, the first bank in the area. Currently, the building is connected to all utilities and services: gas, electricity, water supply and drainage. A few years ago, more precisely in 2003, the building had its roof and windows replaced, thus carrying out an important renovation process. Arranged on the following floor system: lower ground + ground floor + first floor + attic, this building provides that investment that you have always been looking for: its positioning and layout represent potential for various developments. It can bring many further exciting opportunities, starting from the industrial production ones to commercial ones. The building can function efficiently as a hotel, restaurant, kindergarten, school or nursing home. It accommodates 37 rooms and 5 bathrooms, with a pragmatic planning. Photo: Florin Pepene
