luxury real estate for sale Romania (page 6)

We do not know if the Thracians, Greeks and Romans crossed the Danube Delta here; the Sulina water channel then had more meanders than now, perhaps even a low flow. The Byzantines called it Salina, the Italian cartographers placed it on their maps since the 14th-15th centuries, then the Turks often used this water way, which became the most easily navigable in the era. In 1800, Romanians, Turks, Greeks, Jews, Armenians, Russians and Italians lived together and created the character of the area, which inspired Jean Bart, the founder of Romanian maritime and fluvial literature, to call his city - and his famous novel - Europolis (he would have called it Cosmopolis but the term had already been used). The small harbor of that time gave way today to a collective imagination splendidly exploited by this property, as this house that we propose may become a great refuge in the nature for family and friends. Completely renovated in 2017, the building has 17 rooms with en suite bathrooms, 4 terraces and common and utility spaces on 3 levels. It is the closest property to the UNESCO protected area in Sulina, with 40 km of virgin beach between the new beach (renovated and impeccably landscaped in 2017) and the city center. The vivid, overflowing and sweeping green outside finds its counterpart in calm, bright and spacious interiors. The design is vaguely rustic and preserves spaces where light gives way to volumes, colors, textures. The house offers time on the edge of the Delta but also curious urban histories such as that of the old lighthouse where Jean Bart had his office or the maritime cemetery, unique in Europe and where both Christians, Muslims and Jews spend their eternity. On the canals, the trembling of the water moved by the boats among the reeds produces fluttering of wings, murmur and short flights inviting tourists to mysterious walks.

Somewhere on the edge of the forest, with the Bistrita River flowing in front, a private and quiet street leads to a secluded property where the perfectly manicured greenery induces a feeling of well-being; the impression it leaves is bright, neat, with clean lines, a strong aspirational component and a vague Mediterranean air perhaps given by the vegetation or the whiteness of the walls under the roof tile that falls heavily on the building. A silver fir tree punctuates the crowded green garden; the walkways take up in stone the idea of the curve found on the property in other areas too - the corrugated roof, the cut of the glass in the living room, etc. The interior is comfortable, the atmosphere warm, restful and ready to provide comfort for a large number of people - the common areas such as the open kitchen’s island and the living room are meant to gather around the table an extended family. The bathrooms attract attention with a modern design in which the stand alone bathtub is the piece of resistance. The layout of the space follows the civilized standard - in the basement the technical room - boilers, heating system and pool installations - but also the recreation room and wine cellar, plus a light courtyard with access to the pool. The ground floor allows parking for two cars in the garage and from there access to the living room with its fireplace, the dining area and the open kitchen (a second, closed kitchen and an ironing room are nearby). Also on this level are the guest bedroom with bathroom, the office and a vestibule. In the attic, under the skylight, there are 3 bedrooms with a bathroom each. In total, over 730 sqm of usable area finished to the highest standards. photo Florin Pepene

A resonant name from the War of 1877 is that of General Alexandru Angelescu, a career officer with multiple honors and decorations, and one of the great landowners from whom the entire cultural heritage of the Pissiota family from Poienarii Burchii, Prahova County, descends. Born in 1850, Alexandru Angelescu climbed the ranks of the military hierarchy step by step and received multiple distinctions throughout his career, including the Order of the Star of Romania, Knight grade (1889), the Order of the Star of Romania, Knight grade (1897), the Order of the Star of Romania, Commander grade (1912), the Order of the Crown of Romania, Commander grade (1901), and the Order of the Iron Crown, 2nd class, conferred by His Majesty, the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, Franz Josef, on September 16, 1896. After the general’s death, which occurred on September 13, 1923, his coffin with the body was transported and placed in the family vault in Poienarii Burchii, very close to the current manor house, the funerary monument being classified as a historical and architectural monument, made of Carrara marble, the work of Italian artist Paolo Triscornia di Ferdinando (1853–1936). The manor, which was part of an extensive estate at the time, is relatively small but charming, with a footprint of 87 square meters and built on three levels: ground floor, upper floor, and attic. In addition to the manor, there are several annex buildings, some for living, some for storage, and others dedicated to horse care, the main activity currently taking place within the manor’s grounds. The courtyard of the manor is arranged with grass and river stones, and a large part of the courtyard is dedicated to a riding arena and other facilities for horse care. The estate is completed by 5.1 hectares of land that is neither landscaped nor exploited. Nicolae Pissiota bought much of Angelescu’s estate, building on it one of the most beautiful Romanian churches, a unique blend of the Italian Renaissance style with the Classical Byzantine Style, the church being painted inside by Costin Petrescu, the artist behind the frescoes of the Romanian Athenaeum and the Cathedral in Alba Iulia. The former estate and manor of the Angelescu family is today an opportunity waiting to be brought back to life, as a charming boyar residence, for residential use or as an attraction for development in the tourism or event industry

Located in one of the best residential areas of Brasov, ideally placed at the edge of the forest, this is one of the most attractive available properties of the city not only due to its positioning but also due to the large land plot and overall amenities.

Modest at a first glance like a demure young lady, the mansion keeps its roof like an eye lid fixed in the ground, refusing to reveal itself. It must be courted, trodden on the brick paths and eyed on the woodwork of the porch. Inside, the piano is shyly silent but the proud stove promises roaring fire. The solid wood furniture is carefully chosen and captures the atmosphere of the late 19th century when the building was erected; the wooden pendulum keeps the measure of time but does not take it prisoner - the property enjoys all the comforts of the present - electricity, central heating (wood boiler), water, solar panels for hot water and complete infrastructure. The generous porch is the ornamental element that ennobles the building, otherwise a classic parallelepiped volume. The timber construction has a rustic yet elegant finish that the hanging plants take to another level (as does the annex that exploits a mound on the property and is fitted with lovely brick-framed double doors). Curved, brick paths lead the steps through areas of thick grass or dwarf flowers and over 30 varieties of roses in the English garden, but on the grounds there are also oaks, maples and ornamental shrubs over 150 years old; lavender is cultivated on 20 acres (of the 7.8 hectares, 1.28 ha is urban land and 4.8 ha is arable land). The orchard has peaches, nectarines, sour cherries, pears, cherries and other fruit trees such as a few wild cherries; not far away there are crops of strawberries, currants, blackberries and raspberries - the land is rich and can be exploited for farming or hunting. The manor was gifted as a hunting estate by Count Zichy Vasonckeoy Ferenc, Minister of Trade in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, to his son Tivadar in 1899. Today the property is also known as Hajas Manor after the current owners, but in the title deed it is referred to as a castle. It was bought in 2010 and restored according to the original plan keeping the original carpentry but adding double glazed windows to the wooden windows. The domain is located on the road between Marghita and Săcuieni, 200 m from the main road, between the Petreu and Cristur settlements.

Heading to Huedin from Cluj-Napoca, one steps into Călatei Land, a region with villages where there are still carved wooden gates, old houses, authentic customs; a region where the people cook old recipes, wear folk costumes and enjoy traditional dances. Mănăstireni is only 50 km away from Cluj-Napoca, in Călatei Land, a settlement probably dating back to antiquity according to the Roman vestiges embedded in the walls of the old reformed church: two carved funerary lions and a medusa (gorgon) head. Otherwise, the first documentary attestation of Mănăstireni dates from 1332. Walking along the country road, the real estate is located right on the edge of the forest: a glimpse of paradise in an undisturbed oasis of green and peace.

Sometimes we refer to architectural splendors as old houses just because the present builds differently, with glass and steel, not brick, columns, and Corinthian capitals. We liken the traces of time to wrinkles and compare peeling facades to the pigmented skin of age, and so we place them in the category of bygone beauties, set aside with only a past, not a future. However, old age is no longer a barrier to an active life today, and this perspective applies to architecture as well. Buildings like the one in the pictures successfully return to their former brilliance and contribute to preserving the character of the city. Neoclassical elements signify not only stylistic sobriety but also richness and coquetry for this house that belonged to lawyer Marinelea Păunescu. Built in 1889 by Olga and Mișu Paraschivescu, the house was nationalized and initially used by a cooperative for offices, then became a grocery store, and later was bought by the lawyer. Today, it is a historical monument and can become an elegant headquarters for a company, a spectacular restaurant, or a cultural center following the example of another famous monument in Bucharest, also owned by a woman, and not just any woman, but Ploiești -born Mița Biciclista. The entrance is carefully constructed with semicolumns, wrought ironwork, decorated windows, and a slender marquee. The rooms are luxurious, spacious, and well-proportioned, with meticulously decorated ceilings and double doors, richly ornamented and wide-opening. The interior woodwork matches the decorative richness of the exterior and is a differentiating element. Located in the center of Ploiești, near the Central Halls and behind the County Museum of Natural Sciences, the property is versatile and eager to begin its new life.

An elegant single-level mansion that impresses with its footprint – a long blade to the left and right of a platform entrance with simple, robust and elegant pillars. The windows with natural wood shutters profiled on the white masonry also attract attention, as well as the simple neoclassical decorative elements that give a small-scale monumentality that does not need verticality. Lit by the summer sun, with a embroidery like wooden terace and refined paving, it is a little reminiscent of French colonial mansions. Perpendicular to the road, with a yard more than generous for its almost 6 hectares, the mansion lends itself to a use in tune with the requirements of today; it can become a private residence, tourist unit, cultural center, restaurant or agricultural development. The village of Drăuț, whose name has aroused the interest of researchers (one theory says that it comes from the royal falconers who in 1270 were called Drawc) is part of the Târnova commune and is located in the center of the county, 60 km from the city of Arad.

Only 40 km away from Bucharest, in a privileged location very close to Snagov forest but also to Natura 2000 Gradistea, Nuci is a settlement formed on the old boyar and monastery domains previously offered by donation from the Muntenia Rulers. This is why the entire area is home to plenty of historical venues like Balamuci Monastery, Lecca Manor, or “Saint Nicholas” Church that dates back to 1631 , on top of plenty other old buildings and churcjes that are not listed as monuments. One of these is also Desliu Manor, built at the end of the 19th Century, a building that tells the stories of an old boyar family that had significant relevance in the political and cultural life of Romania during the 19th and early 20th century. “The Desliu’s” were a boyar family in Ţara Românească, going few generations back. The name has Turkish origins, but does it imply also the ethnic source? “ is the question that the historian Sorin Mihai Radulescu is asking in his book “ On the genealogy of Ana Aman” in which he is following a few branches of the Desliu family for a period of 150 years. Desliu Manor is a a very solid and sobre looking building, with focus on the functionality and not on the decoration of the building. The manor has a footprint of 256 sqm, witn 5 rooms and a vig hallway at the ground floor level, plus an 140 sqm basement that can be transformed by the will and the desire of the future owner into usable space. The land plot is large, offering a total of 2,740 sqm with plenty of usage options . The manor is in need of a complete renovation, but its history, the proximity to Bucharest and the large land plot that offer access to utilities make it a great opportunity for a vacation house or a commercial development.

With a patriarchal air and full of the beauty and authenticity of the villages of Arges, Valea Nandrii seems like a place to reconnect with the beauty of nature, the simple gifts of life, and the slower pace of days spent at your grandparents' house. Hidden at the foot of the green hills of Arges and stretched along the Doamnei River, the village is richly blessed with natural beauty that is still preserved here as it was in the past. Towards the end of the village, where the hills let their forest descend into the backyard, we find a small interwar gem, a splash of color that surely has a fabulous story to tell about the century that has passed over it. The villa is built on three levels: ground floor, first floor, and attic, plus a basement perfect for storing the goodies produced by its own orchard. With a built area of 425 square meters, the villa offers a generous space for a large family and their friends: five bedrooms, a large living room on the ground floor, a study that can also be converted into a bedroom, kitchen, a large covered terrace on the ground floor, and another terrace on the first floor offering an even better view of the green surroundings. The interior is rich and tasteful, well-aligned with the historical character of the house. The furniture is classic, made of solid wood, and the decorative elements, stained glass, and pointed arch doors specific to the neo-Gothic style transport us from Valea Nandrii to the chateaux of the Loire Valley. Besides the villa, which is the main feature of the property, there is a secondary building with a space of 102 square meters that can be transformed as needed into additional bedrooms, a hobby area, or a relaxation space. The gazebo is spacious enough for parties with a large number of friends and offers a beautiful view of the hills. The land is large, no less than 3,359 square meters, perfectly complementing the holiday atmosphere that envelops the property at first glance. Bordered at the back by a stream that flows not far from there into the Doamnei River, the land is full of trees, shrubs, flowers, and perennial plants, carefully tended by the current owners. Fruit trees, fir trees, old trees, a magnolia that cheers up every spring, and an exuberance of other plants fill both the front yard and the back, which gently slopes towards the stream. The house is fully functional and ready to use as it is. It can quickly become a holiday or weekend home with everything such a property needs, but it can also be transformed into a permanent residence for a family that wants to move closer to nature. Pitesti is only 16 km away, and Bucharest is 131 km away. The house can also be used for a small tourism project or to host small-scale events.

There is beauty in living by the lake and the mountain – heavy thoughts clear like the fog, silence enrobes forests and humans, body and soul find space to relax and thrive. The two villas villas united under the name of Gasthof Tirol in the Semenic mountains offer just that – space, silence and beauty. The villas, one built in the Austrian style, the other Canadian, have rooms full of personality, inspired by different cultures - there are logs that build a wall and striped textiles for a classic rustic atmosphere, there is furniture painted in Tyrolean red and green but also a soothing Japanese minimalism. The Austrian villa, with a lot of wood and stone, has two levels that together offer 14 rooms, matrimonial or twin, with private bathroom and a view of the lake or the Canadian cottage. They are served by a living room that can accommodate up to 60 people and a lounge area with fireplace, bar and TV. The basement contains the SPA area with dry sauna, wet sauna, a massage area with a bed and equipment for facial treatments, clamshell showers, lounge chairs for relaxation and a Jacuzzi area. Also here are the wine cellar, the storage shed with two freezers and shelves, the bathrooms for customers, the changing room and the bathroom for employees as well as the technical room for heat with two new generation central units (purchased in 2019) with a pellet and wood system and automation with solar panels located on the roof of the building. These have recently been changed - they are now more energy and thermally efficient. Next to the technical room there is a gang where firewood and bags of pellets are stored for winter. In the technical room there is also a boiler, a storage buffer for the hot water produced by the solar panels and the technical plants and cold water storage tanks. All pumps are Villo, as is the water filtration system with its own pumping station. The Canadian chalet, with classic log walls and mountain stone, was built in 2008 and offers 8 en suite rooms on the 1st floor with views of the forest or the swimming pools. On the ground floor there is a meeting room for 40 people equipped with a video projector, flipchart, pinchart, fireplace and television, as well as a service bathroom and a two-room suite with its own bathroom for staff. The warehouse and technical room with boilers and water storage tanks as well as the thermal plant and the pallet silo are located in the basement. The water comes from its own source - a water catchment and a well. The solar panel heated pool has 34 sunbeds and 4 canopies, a lawn area, bar, service bathrooms, indoor and outdoor showers, changing rooms, dry sauna and clamshell rockers. Children have a play area with a slide, tree house and trampoline. The villa and cottage functioned as a guesthouse, but they can easily be converted into a private residence; sold both together and separately.

The Ceahlău Massif, referred to by Dimitrie Cantemir as the “jewel” of Moldova, is arguably the mountain that has most captivated the eyes and imagination of people. Each unique and spectacular location within this massif has its own legend, and the area is renowned for the richness and diversity of its landscapes, ranging from snow-capped peaks to majestic waterfalls and dense forests. At the foothills of the massif, near the Durău resort, a true retreat has been established. The complex's location is truly privileged, situated right in the heart of the Ceahlău National Park and only 500 meters from Lake Bicaz – itself designated as a natural aquatic reserve. Spanning nearly 2 hectares, the complex blends seamlessly into the landscape, complementing the “natural” offering with multiple modern functionalities. The heart of the retreat – its modern buildings and facilities – is shielded by a wooded area, an integral part of the property. It is the ideal place for solitary walks or picnics, longer rests, or group activities in the spaces arranged right in the midst of nature. The built area maintains natural touches: stone-paved alleys, rustic wooden accents in the construction of the spacious gazebo, and an architecture characterized by simple and clean lines. These are complemented by indispensable modern relaxation amenities: a tennis court, indoor pool, and sauna. The complex comprises two villas with a combined usable area of approximately 1,800 square meters. The first villa spans multiple levels, with the basement and ground floor designed as social spaces: a restaurant, bar, and wine cellar. The two upper floors and attic house 16 rooms, all with impressive views. The second, smaller villa has 9 rooms, with the covered pool and sauna located on the ground floor. Beyond the relaxation options and modern amenities, the location is a significant advantage of the property. It is situated along numerous mountain hiking trails leading to the Ocolașul Mare, Toaca peaks, or Duruitoarea Waterfall, and is very close to the ski slopes in Durău.

On a corner of plains, on a foot of heaven - this is how the Romanian fairytale land is described, but good things also happen at the foot of the mountain, especially when it is Retezat with its glacial lakes and rare flora. The small town of Râu de Mori is located near the Colț fortress that inspired Jules Verne’s The Carpathian Fortress and 42 km away from Prislop Monastery. Sibiu International Airport is located 159 km away, and Sarmizegetusa Regia, Colonia Ulpia Traiana Augusta Dacica Sarmizegetusa, Huniazilor Castle and Deva Citadel are also close by. In addition, it is the perfect destination for winter sports and summer hiking. The Alpina Retezat resort, located in Râu de mori, has 90 accommodation places and all the necessary facilities – restaurants, garden, terrace, bar and private parking. The rooms are spacious and bright and, if desired, the entire hotel allows for a reconceptualization that further exploits the advantages of the location, highly appreciated by children's camps for its close proximity to the ski slopes in Râușor equipped with ski lifts, as well as for the adventure park nearby - the fir trees of the small resort are welcoming hosts, among their branches passing suspended trails that offer many challenges to the daring.

Today's high-end urban living is vertical, in slender and tall buildings that allow a spectacular panorama of the area, parks and lakes in the center of the city. The Floreasca towers tick each of these characteristics and quickly became an aspirational landmark in the area, bringing to Bucharest a way of living known until recently rather mediated by cinematography than directly, locally. Here you can have the New York feeling of a luxury apartment near Central Park. The project is a residential landmark that marks the completion of the society’s transition towards prosperity and also the transposition of western values into the local culture. Five bright rooms, four elegant bathrooms and carefully designed spaces, kitchen and dressing room overlap the 303 sqm built surface. It is an apartment that offers peace and comfort, supporting an active lifestyle that requires presence in the middle of the tumultuous city. The tile roofs, the crown of the trees and the shimmer of water that fills the view below provide the necessary acoustic distance, keeping only the charm of an aesthetic dominated by green. Gourmet restaurants, a well-stocked market with seasonal products and just about everything that can be useful are just one elevator ride away. *The Price includes VAT

In one of the old royal cities of the Habsburg Empire, the one called Elisabetopole, Elizabetopolis, Ibașfalău, Ibișfalău, Bășcăleț, Elisabethstadt, Epeschdorf, or Erzsébetvároș, there is a bright and bold building catching the eye instantly. It is centrally located, on one of the main arteries and near the Armenian cathedral, the one that lost one dome. Featuring an imposing tower guarding the corner and elegantly outlined blue frames against the bright white façade the has distinction. Built in 1881, it wears its age gracefully, having been recently renovated. The internal partitioning has created spacious and bright rooms, both on the ground floor (living room, three bedrooms, kitchen, two bathrooms) and upstairs (three bedrooms, an office, living room, and two bathrooms, one with access to the Finnish sauna). The fireplace stove warms a 40 sqm living room. The vaulted cellar with a brick floor, maintaining controlled temperature, is the perfect place for a private wine cellar, while the garden with lawn and fruit trees is the ideal option for peaceful afternoons. Breakfast can be enjoyed in the pavilion, where hearty meals can also be organized for loved ones, in its 9 sqm summer kitchen with a bread & pizza oven. The garage accommodates two cars. The town of Dumbrăveni, one of the ten royal free cities, enjoys the benefits of multiculturalism, with Romanians, Hungarians, Jews, Saxons, and Armenians living in and beautifying it. In the 16th century, Grigore Apafi built the feudal castle in the form of a citadel, which now operates as the Museum of Transylvanian Armenians, and the Armenian community erected a cathedral here in the 18th century. Dumbrăveni is situated between Sighișoara and Mediaș, having touristic Biertan, Viscri, and Via Transilvanica in close proximity. photo Florin Pepene

Holiday house on the hill Brad, Hunedoara With the forest at the back, the property has a special charm to which the location on a hill contributes greatly- the view towards the small town of Brad in the valley is stunning both in late summer, when the meadows are strewn with haystacks, and in winter, when the snow covers the houses, the fields, and forests. The architecture is typical of the mountain with the solid, stone-hewn ground floor and wooden balconies with cheerful geraniums hanging from the railings. The interior also respects the convention of mountain interior design having the walls clad in wood; their warm and understated hue provides the perfect backdrop for relaxed living. It is a rustic minimalism, dewormed from classic intrusions that slip easily into kitsch. Elegant crocheted curtains and wooden furniture add charm. The inviting kitchen and generous terraces with hammocks make for relaxing afternoons, and in the evening the panorama is magical – the lights of the valley look like fireflies dancing in the night. On the ground floor are the living room with open kitchen, the toilet and the separate technical room; the first floor has two bedrooms and a bathroom with bathtub and shower and on the second floor there are two bedrooms, one of which has both a double bed and a sofa and space for an extra bed, with access to the 100 sqm balcony that surrounds the building.
