luxury real estate for sale Teleorman County, Romania

In a quiet corner of Teleorman County, in the village of Furculești, nestled beside an ancient lake and surrounded by an abundant orchard, lies a residence of rare charm and understated nobility: the Furculescu Manor. More than a house, this is a true fragment of history — a story of identity, refinement, and deep roots. Built in the 1920s by Nicolae Furculescu — a prominent figure of Romania’s interwar political life and one of the founders of the National Liberal Party — the manor bears the refined imprint of an era defined by reconstruction, optimism, and style. Unusual for the rural landscape of southern Romania, its architecture evokes the serene elegance of the Italian hills, with clean volumes, broad arcades, shaded terraces, and a gentle sloped roof clad in traditional Tuscan tiles. The estate unfolds across approximately 3 hectares, offering a rare degree of privacy and a setting ideal for a private residence, countryside retreat, or a cultural-tourism development. The main house, fully renovated and functional, features three bedrooms and a generous living area — perfect for hosting family or guests. The interior retains a quiet, elegant simplicity, allowing natural light and the surrounding views to take center stage. Beyond the main residence, the property includes several annex buildings, some with authentic character, awaiting restoration and repurposing — whether as guest accommodations, creative studios, a wine cellar, or wellness spaces — all contributing to the estate’s layered potential. But perhaps the most captivating aspect is the land itself: a mature orchard with over 100 fruit trees, decorative shrubs, and open views toward the lake’s mirrored surface, offering a natural stage of quiet beauty and seasonal change. Located less than two hours from Bucharest, easily accessible yet blissfully secluded, the Furculescu Manor represents a rare acquisition opportunity — not just a property, but a living heritage. Here, tradition, nature, and Mediterranean-inspired architecture come together to shape a place where life follows a different rhythm: slower, more gracious, more deeply connected to the land and to authenticity.

Located at the crossroads of the road where, in the old days, the Bucharest-Craiova stagecoach passed, Blejesti is an ancient settlement, the area being continuously inhabited since the times of the Dacians. The village of today is situated on a part of the former Beloaica estate of Elena Mavrocordat, a domain that, in its time, spanned more than 14,000 hectares. The ancient history of the area is reflected in the architectural remnants preserved to this day, and among these, the Voinea Mansion is one of the most remarkable. The mansion was the country residence of Dumitru Voinea in the former Vlaşca County. The building, with relatively large dimensions, was constructed in 1890. By the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, it became a common practice for wealthy families across the country to build town houses in the eclectic – neo-Romanian style in the localities where they owned estates. Originally, the mansion belonged to the property held by the brothers Constantin and Grigore P. Olănescu in Blejesti and was later acquired by Dumitru Voinea, an industrialist who owned two factories in Bucharest and Brașov by the end of the first quarter of the last century. The mansion, resembling a villa with relatively large dimensions, with a ground floor and an upper floor, has its main entrance on the northern side, at the base of a hexagonal tower with asymmetric sides. The entrance, with a semicircular arch and two columns, is flanked on either side by two openings also with semicircular arches, all marked by a cornice that follows the same shape. The rhythmic pattern of the northern façade is created by the light openings, three on each level, framed with decorative geometric elements made of straight, bent, and curved lines, which are also found on the right side of the southern façade. On the southern side, there is a tower with a gazebo, which recalls the neo-Romanian style, and access was either through a massive staircase placed on the left side, or directly from the upper floor, while in the central area there was an entrance leading down to the cellar. The lateral staircase is protected by a sheet metal canopy, which is part of the roof, supported by a double wooden console. Currently, the openings on the three sides of the gazebo, as well as the exterior access path, are closed with windows fixed in metal frames. This component of the building served as a viewpoint overlooking the garden surrounding the mansion and the valley of the Glavacioc River, as well as the nearby forest. The upper part of the building is outlined by a profiled cornice, and the construction is topped by a high, four-sided roof made of sheet metal. The mansion has a built area of 604 square meters and sits on a 3-hectare plot of land, which also houses a series of annexes, many of which were added later, after nationalization. After the property passed into state ownership, the mansion served various purposes, the last of which was as the headquarters of the former Blejești Agricultural Cooperative (IAS). In the former annexes, some recently renovated and others still being renovated, a small farm is currently operating. The mansion is classified as a historic monument of class B, it is in relatively good preservation, and it holds immense potential to be transformed into an exceptional private residence or, why not, it could be used for a development in the fields of tourism, events, or medical care.
