luxury property for sale Ruscova, Romania

Built at the beginning of the 20th century by the architect István Tatorján from Satu Mare, this historic villa in Baia Mare stands as a true architectural gem, imbued with story and character. In an era when the city was regarded as a renowned climatic resort—celebrated for its sanatoriums, the Usturoi Baths, and the art school that drew painters inspired by the “bluest sky” of the Empire—the architect chose this setting for his summer retreat, conceived as a haven of elegance, refinement, and tranquility. For generations, the villa became the backdrop of quiet summers and evening gatherings on its spectacular terrace, specially designed as a place for meeting and socializing. Today, the property retains the authenticity and distinctive charm of its time. Original architectural details, generous layouts, and the emblematic terrace—the very soul of the house—give this residence a truly unique character. With a built area of over 330 square meters spread across three levels, the villa offers a succession of salons and bedrooms, complemented by versatile attic spaces that can easily be transformed into offices, guest rooms, or creative studios. The nearly 1,000-square-meter plot enhances the sense of privacy and tranquility, while also providing the ideal setting for gardens, relaxation areas, or open-air entertaining. Located on Strada Paris, one of the most elegant and quiet streets in the city, the property offers a rare balance between discretion and accessibility, being at the same time within easy reach of Baia Mare’s center. This villa is not merely a residence but a heritage landmark—a house that has gathered stories and emotions for more than a century, now seeking a new custodian to carry its spirit and refinement into the future.

With a green hill in the background as a theater setting, this mini-park of leisure promises and delivers well-being. On the property there are indoor and outdoor swimming pools with heated water, jacuzzi, wet & dry sauna, deckchairs that invite you to laze around in the afternoon, massage room, a synthetic football field that becomes an ice rink in winter, large and green courtyard, playground, generous terraces. A conference room equipped with video projector is ready to receive corporations for attractive team building sessions. The main building with its long sloping roof houses the spa, 10 guest rooms and the function room with a capacity of 60 people. The restaurant, with a similar capacity, occupies a separate building and the accommodation space is completed by the cabin, called Ursa perhaps in honor of the sky full of stars in this peaceful corner of the world. Built in 2016, close to the Bistrița river and the Colibița lake, the guesthouse is currently only rented in its entirety, in self-catering mode (7 double rooms with private bathroom, living & dining room, terrace, gazebo & grill). The beauty of the natural landscape inspires hiking, cycling through the woods, boating on the lake, carting or horse-drawn sleigh rides. Tourists can visit the nearby trout farm or sheepfold and, depending on the season, participate in agricultural activities in the guesthouse's garden. Extending the range of action throughout Bistrița-Năsăud county, natural reserves, lakes, churches and monasteries, caves and fortresses are popular points of attraction. photo Florin Pepene
