luxury real estate for sale Durău, Romania

This luxury real estate is located in a wooded valley, near the Voroneț River and only 4 km from the famous UNESCO heritage monastery. The two holiday homes complement each other in a bold architectural project, which uses and integrates every detail of Bucovina’s scenery. The first house is a very special and premium property, award-winning project at the National Architecture Biennale - 2023 edition as well as the Romanian Design Week 2024 edition. The materials, textures and shades - concrete, tree bark, steel are different from the classic residential options, based on brick and wood, bringing in a balanced industrial air, which contrasts but also complements the natural environment. The architects were not afraid of unevenness, slopes - the peculiarities of the location dictated the form following the function - they embedded diaphragms in the slope, supporting the house on pillars and thus giving it suppleness. The concept is focused on the idea of a floating mystery box, anchored in the slope that also follows the slope of the land and is bonded with the landscape through discreet chromatics. The concrete infrastructure, with diaphragms placed perpendicular to the slope as a plinth, is left exposed. The integration into the landscape is ensured by the finishes of treated wooden battensimitating tree bark and corten steel with the typical rust shades of autumn leaves. The entrance is marked by two blue V shaped pillars - a disc reet tribute to Voronet Monastery symbolic colour - and invites you into a sequential space, built on half levels, with wide windows framing the outdoor landscape. With a 230 sqm carpet area, the house is organised on 2 levels and has also a garden terrace. The bright open atrium area connects all the spaces of the house. On the ground floor, the common spaces are placed at different heights. The refined living area starts with the refurbished and perfectly functional Laugerger & Gloss Mascagni grand piano accompanied by English sofas and armchairs and a minimalist fireplace - a reminder of the hearth in traditional homes. The 3-meters high window, central glass panel, frames both the Voronet river as well as the winding pathway in a fairytale frame, the Yin and Yang intersects in the heart of the home. The kitchen is placed at a higher level than the living area. The pièce de résistance, in addition to the top-of-the-range appliances, is the volcanic ash lava table, produced in a limited edition of 28 pieces by Swoonseditions. The second house Villa Trésor, is already a successfully branded business in Bucovina’s area with a large clients portfolio. Built in a clean style, the exterior design stands out for its minimalism and attention to detail spotted in window decoration or the repetition of the high ridge roof, on a smaller scale, at the entrance or its contemporary reinterpretation in the case of the gazebo. The gazebo is equipped with sink, grill and fireclay-clad pizza oven. Also outside, there is a 6 person wood-burning sauna and a luxury swimspa that can be used throughout the year. The built-up area of 200 sqm is organised on two levels. The interior design has strong English accents, from the handmade antique copper radiators to the vintage Victorian brass doorknobs. The doors and stairs are made of solid ash wood. The downstairs living and dining rooms are spacious and airy, showcasing limited edition handcrafted pieces of furniture, a fireplace and the living room wallpaper by Dutch designer Piet Hein Eek.Each of the four bedrooms has its own specific theme featured in the interior design elements of both the rooms and the related bathrooms. Rooms have double beds, thermal curtains, and the bathrooms have stucco wall finishes. The attic is multifunctional: either the perfect space to relax and socialise in the sitting area or the proper environment for an office in the workspace.

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

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.

The Cantacuzino-Ghica Castle from Deleni is one of Moldova’s most notable castles. The first building of the present-day architectural ensemble was the church erected in 1669, near a boyar’s court, probably the oldest in the principality. After Maria Cantacuzino’s marriage with Constantin Ghica in 1778, the estate entered the possession of the Ghica-Deleni family. The Refurbishment works the new owners commissioned gave the ensemble its current configuration. The inner stone wall and restoration and expansion works were carried out until 1802, and, afterwards, at the beginning of the 20th century, the castle was redesigned by architect Nicolae Ghika-Budesti. The castle has large and bright spaces – rooms, lounges, lobbies – spread across the ground floor, first floor and basement. During the Second World War, for two years, the castle served as a garrison for Soviet troops. Following the nationalization process, the building hosted the cultural house of Deleni. It then became a preventive medical unit, which has not changed to this day.

Located in the village of Văleni (Patakfalva), Harghita County, „Hubertus Lodge” is a rare property within Transylvania’s real estate landscape — an expansive private estate designed for nature-oriented living, discretion, and versatile use. The area is known for its unspoiled natural setting, deep rural quiet, and remarkable biodiversity, while still allowing relatively easy access to established destinations such as Sighișoara, Sovata, Corund, Praid Salt Mine, Saint Anne Lake, Red Lake, Zetea, Viscri, Rupea, and Brașov. The estate extends across approximately 10.9 hectares of land in Transylvania, combining intravilan and extravilan plots in a coherent layout suited both for private residential use and retreat or niche tourism concepts. The overall vision integrates modern comfort within an authentic natural framework, supported by architectural and functional elements inspired by Transylvanian tradition. On the intravilan land, exceeding 9,000 sqm, there are two modern lodge buildings and a traditional early-20th-century rural ensemble. The total built area is approximately 420 sqm, with spaces configured for permanent use and extended hosting. The main lodge is organized around a distinctive circular living room with a central fireplace, which defines the daytime area, complemented by a dining room, kitchen, and terrace. The sleeping area includes two en-suite bedrooms, while the attic can be extended to accommodate three additional rooms, one bathroom, and two further rooms, allowing for future development flexibility. Thermal comfort is ensured through radiator heating as well as underfloor heating in the main lodge, contributing to a balanced and consistent interior climate. The guest lodge operates independently and includes four en-suite bedrooms and a veranda, making it suitable for extended family, guests, or operation as a boutique lodge or retreat in Transylvania. The traditional rural compound adds a habitable house with two wood-stove-heated rooms, a barn, and a bread oven, preserving the authentic local character. The extravilan land, of approximately 10 hectares, consists of pasture and natural vegetation, providing openness and privacy. A dedicated wildlife observation cabin is positioned on this land — a rare feature suitable for wildlife watching and nature retreats. The region is recognized for frequent sightings of large fauna, including deer, boar, roe deer, and bear. In terms of comfort and technical features, the property is equipped with wood-fired central heating systems serving both lodges, providing radiator heating and hot water, supported by a boiler and a water softening system. The main lodge benefits from underfloor heating. The buildings were completed in 2008 and are offered fully furnished and equipped, including appliances, tableware, and textiles. Ambient lighting and selected materials create a warm, premium lodge atmosphere throughout. By scale, layout, and setting, the property is well suited as an extended private estate in Transylvania, as well as a boutique lodge, wildlife retreat, or premium tourism project, including themed retreats or limited corporate use. The configuration with independent buildings and extensive land supports flexible operation — private, mixed, or hospitality — and positions the estate as a solid niche investment opportunity within the Transylvanian market.
