luxury villa with pool for sale Bănești, Romania

The road climbs the hill on a paved alley, flanked by conifers and acacias on the left and right. The placement of the building on a high plateau provides a wide, generous, unrestricted view of the valley. In the center, surrounded by trees, a charming little house appears, almost lost in a forest, like a modern iteration of Hansel and Gretel's story in butter, caramel, and chocolate colors. Traditional materials specific to the area - stone, brick, and tile - integrate it into the surroundings and protect it from the weather. The basement is dedicated to functional spaces - a garage for two cars, a laundry room, and a technical room. A generous main floor offers a fireplace in the lounge area and a separate dining room, along with a modern, furnished and equipped kitchen, an office, a bedroom, a bathroom, and a second kitchen that can eventually be converted into another room, as needed. Here we also have a huge terrace, where there is a grill and a stove to cover all culinary needs, as well as a balcony that surrounds the living room to provide broad access to the beautiful view and the fresh air of the area. The partially superimposed upper floor, open and airy thanks to the balcony-hall, provides three bedrooms and two bathrooms, each bedroom having its own balcony from which you can freely admire the superb surroundings. The house is designed, arranged, and maintained to offer all the comfort and facilities of a permanent residence or a vacation home, close enough to Bucharest for easy access but still in an area with clean air, privacy, plenty of greenery, and a view that recharges the soul. The pool, waterfall, fairytale view, beautifully landscaped mature garden are just a few of the elements that make this property one that can quickly become the family's favorite for short vacations, weekends, or even as a permanent residence. The Bănești commune is situated in the Doftana Valley, placing it in a dreamlike tourist and gastronomic terroir, with forests full of berries, wild mushrooms, challenging trails, and wonderful views. Here is also the monument of Aurel Vlaicu, erected in 1930, as well as the wooden church of the Holy Voivodes, dating back to 1760
