luxury real estate for sale Timiș County, Romania

In order for the Hat Factory of South Hungary S.A. to come into existence, it required private capital and support from the state and the city of Timișoara, where it operated on the banks of the Bega River. Archives attest that in 1899 the municipality granted, free of charge, to Phillipp Lustein and Wilhelm Keller a plot of land measuring 2 'cadastral acres' near the then-road viaduct and the current central park. The factory was exempt from paying municipal taxes for a decade but committed to providing annual subsidies for each employee. Built in 1899-1900, the building structures bear the signature of the architect Ede Reiter, who was a neighbor to the property. The Hat Factory produced felt and wool hats, felt, and rabbit fur hats, with about 500 employees, two-thirds of whom were women, all assisted by steam-powered machines. Not only were the hats produced modern, but also the facilities provided to the workers – a bath, a dining hall, and relaxation spaces. After the union with Romania, the factory was named the Timișoara Hat Factor y , and then came the communist nationalization. Between 1991-1995, it was privatized through the MEBO method and known as PALTIM SA. After a period of intense cultural activity, the factory's land is now undergoing a modern urban development project with residential and office spaces. The former administrative building, currently a historical monument, is part of this complex built to the highest standards, bringing stories, history, and pedigree to its owner and future generations. Additionally, thanks to architect Ede Reiter, the property presents itself elegantly in the style that was fashionable at the time, Secession. The recent impeccable architectural and structural renovation highlights the beauty of this style and how it has remained relevant and attractive to this day. The ground floor is suitable for a restaurant – perhaps one that showcases the rich and flavorful gastronomy of the city, while the upper floor and attic are spacious and bright spaces, optimal for office activities, private residence, or even a spa. Located on the banks of the Bega River, with boats peacefully floating on the water and a promenade nearby, the property will undoubtedly become a landmark in the city.

This gable roof villa is located in the Elizabetin district, where the crown of trees shadows the houses creating the classic atmosphere of the privileged residential area.

The building is impeccably maintained and decorative elements of brick, plaster, wood and wrought iron give it both distinction and a tres chic air. Formerly a bank headquarters, the villa retains inside the sobriety and good taste of the professional environment created here; only the windows and the entrance allow small flirtations through gentle, curved lines, otherwise, the premium interior design remains circumscribed to the corporate area, including here the parquet and carpentry, the finishes in the bathrooms but also the wall cladding with high-quality materials. Paying tribute to the 19th century architecture, the ground floor has a large reception area of ​​29 sqm, surrounded by rooms of 11-14 sqm, which work perfectly as offices.

The chateau looms in the sky like a beautiful castle, with four defense towers that have only known peacetime. The building, in the German Neo-Renaissance style, was built according to the owner's well-defined plans and sketches on graph paper. The castle concept, Fachwerk wooden elements and natural stone remind of the few medieval houses left standing and invite indulgence and rest – the water channel that partially surrounds it contributes to the calm atmosphere. The wooden tracery and soft yellow make a good home on the façade and anticipate an elegant interior where the oak pieces put on a show – the carefully crafted joinery worthy of a castle, the tables, sideboards and Alktdeutsch-style chairs. The staircase between the floors is also made of wood, ennobled with a red carpet bearing the royalty motif of the lily. Rooms with personality, elegant bathrooms and stylish common spaces make this chateau a popular destination on accommodation booking networks; The chateau offers 20 accommodation units totaling 45 seats, but a reorganization of the space can result in the increase of the accommodation space from 20 units to 32.

The 400-sqm brewery space is rented from the chateau. The microbrewery is perfectly integrated into the landscape and the chateau's activity, as it does not produce noise or smell.

When the passion for restoring and for harnessing the value of what is authentic and antique meets the the more than a century old legacy left over the years by the former Swabians, then everything can turn into an absolutely unique experience. The Swabian House or Schwabenhaus is a place you should not miss if you arrive in the west of the country. Either because you want to make a stop for resting your mind but also to indulge your soul, or because you want to taste some of the dishes for which the people of Timisoara come here regularly, or even just to see what an old Swabian building looks like. Moreover, when it comes to a house restored with great care and skill and happily enriched with collections of art and handcraft objects, which today turn it into a small museum with so many interesting things to see. The property is located in Șandra, in the middle of the Banat Plain, 34 km from Timișoara, 32 km from the border with Serbia and 36 km from the border with Hungary. Șandra has been first time documented in 1833 under the name of Alexandria after the bishop of Zagreb who owned large areas of land here. The bishop is the one who signed the agreement by which a number of 140 families, no less than 700 German settlers remained here and practically established the settlement that would bear his name. Today, Schwabenhaus practically refers to a land with an area of 4,316 square meters with completely renovated old buildings which received a new life becoming a tourist destination. New amenities, which offer all the comfort and facilities you can think of are waiting here. Thus, immediately upon entering the courtyard we find the main building, which offers 9 rooms and a large space in the attic where conferences or events can be organized. Also, here, in the salon that marks the main entrance, there is probably one of the largest collections of cuckoo clocks in Europe, with extremely valuable samples. Next to it, we find a restaurant on two levels, arranged in accordance with the spirit of the place, maintaining its charm, and enriched with valuable and charming collections of musical objects and handicrafts products. The beautifully arranged courtyard leads us to the third building, which has a mixed function. Most part of the ground floor comprises a bar that immediately invites you to enjoy a pint of house beer, either in the classic Bavarian interior or on the romantic terrace overlooking the inner courtyard. Apart from this, in the same building, there are 5 bedrooms, and an administrative area, with an office, a laundry room and a technical room. The last building is newly built, but it integrates perfectly into the landscape, being designed after the plans of the former Swabian huts. The building has a wine cellar on the ground floor and an open terrace upstairs with a beautiful view of the entire complex. The courtyard is landscaped with stone, plants and shrubs, and you can notice the great attention and the care to the smallest details and the passion for perfection. The ultimate place to relax will of course be the swimming pool, located in the sunny area of the courtyard and with easy access to the bar, but also to the accommodation areas. “Schwabenhaus” means a place where nothing has been left to chance, where the so-called German rigor can be seen in every detail of the property, starting from the quality of the renovation to the particulars of the decoration. It is a place where history seeks a new beginning.
