luxury real estate for sale Romania (page 4)

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. Another expansion option with 10 more apartments (between 60 and 80 sqm each) and a penthouse (120 sqm) can be done by purchasing separately, from the same owner, the other castle in the vicinity of this complex. The unit is served by an event hall with a capacity of 180 seats, a hunting restaurant with an Austro-Hungarian menu and a bar with a view of the Bavarian brewery, because in the chateau there is a beer factory with a capacity of 30,000 liters produced according to a German law regulating the purity of beer since 1516. 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. There is also a summer garden with two lakes and a waterfall with 200 seats, as well as a salt room with Himalayan salt. Located in Moșnița Noua, on the Main Street, the hotel is much closer to Timișoara and everything the city has to offer; it is located 15 minutes from the center but also from the airport and has the advantage of being taken over as a functional business from the first day.

The boyar house, now a historical monument, located in a charming zone of Bucharest, was built in 1894, according to J.E. D’Alfonce de Saint Omer’s project, a famous French architect, at the request of the Costa-Foru family, family which, for several generations, gave prominent personalities to the Romanian society, in the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century. The house still transmits the nostalgia of past times to the passersby, through the typical French architecture, beautifully framed in the alley which invites you to a walk on the way to the Mitropolie. From 1894 to 1935, Maria Costa-Foru, the niece of the banker Christophi Zerlenti, and Constantin Gh. Costa-Foru, son of the first rector of the University of Bucharest, the minister of justice during the reign of Alexandru I. Cuza, lived there together with their children. The noble style of the house fits perfectly in the late XX century French genre of “particulier hotel”, defined by the theme of the colossal piano noble windows of the living room, accentuated by the decorative wrought iron elements. The inside of the house dates back in the 1900’s, with changes in the late 1930's. The dominant style is eclectic French on the upper floors, and the restructuring of the lower floors shows Moorish-Florentine influences. The main feature is represented by the generous and elegant space, very well natural lighted, the rooftops decorated with stucco, Italian style floors made by tiles with optical motifs and venetian battuto, door frames with carved pediments, the main staircase decked with white marble, the stair ramp decorated with wrought iron elements, which represent Maria Costa-Foru’s intials. Fireplaces ordered and made in Vienna can be found in all the large living rooms, one of them being made of black marble, as well as very valuable tile stoves, with a unique character. The heating system is completed by steel radiators, connected to the boiler. This architectural jewel, in which you still can find the air of the pre-war period, invites you to contemplate it in peace. You will certainly be impressed of its space and light, characteristics that bring it closer to the great universal architecture. Photo: Gabriel Ghizdavu

In Alba Iulia, a historical citadel spectacularly reborn as a cultural-touristic center, a modern villa has recently risen on a gentle hill, with a proud exterior, right corners and clearly defined volumes. The construction exploits the level difference and looks down into the valley through large glazed surfaces and generous terraces. The view is spectacular and goes far into the sky - the valley downhill is not aggressively populated, the few buildings are high and the lands are parceled out in an organized, harmonious manner. The austere elegance of the facade fits in with the perfect terrace lawn and quality metallic stone paving. The elegant, durable and high-quality materials used are still rare in the local landscape - Equitone fiber cement on the perspective facade, natural Nordic pine wood, exposed brick and decorative Sto. Inside, the spaces are large, bright and minimalistic furnished to let air, light and good thoughts circulate; the fireplace promises warmth and the magic of cheerfully crackling wood. The space is well partitioned, with functional rooms; the kitchen is furnished and equipped, and the bathrooms are impeccable, elegant, with natural light and discreet colors. The interior staircase attracts the eye, being both a practical and a decorative element in the economy of the hall. There is space for a library in the attic, and a cinema in the basement. What really makes the difference here is the technology. The villa is a perfect example of a smart home – rainwater is collected for irrigation, there are video cameras, presence sensors and anti-burglary systems. Access, temperature, humidity and lighting are controlled; the curtains are motorized and many areas in the house are independently soundproofed. In addition, an observer area is set up on the roof that records the climatic indicators and transmits them to automatically decide the irrigation or the movement of the window blinds. The bathrooms have flood sensors that decide, when necessary, to shut off the water supply to the entire system and the system sends notifications to the owner regarding the events that occurred in the absence.

The air of the style that flourished in Europe from the beginning of the 17th century, the Baroque, reaches the premium properties of Timișoara. This penthouse offers a magnific view, and with the 2 levels of over 280 square meters equipped with spacious terraces, the property combines the classic interior with the modernity of the city from the outside. With generous rooms, fully marble bathrooms with the highest quality marble: carara, porto nerro, dorato and marquisa and the fact that the penthouse is generally wrapped in many golden-painted profiles, this penthouse is ideal for a tasteful family. Being so impressive for its grandeur and finishes, it can be implemented as an full time apartment - hotel or only when the owner is on a trip or vacation, at will.

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

Part of the vibrant district of the city since its building in 1923-1924, the palace holds the signature of the Architect Paul Smărăndescu, one of the most prolific architects of the XXth century in Romania. In about the same period with erecting the building at 7 Matei Millo Street, Paul Smărăndescu has planned other architectural monuments such as Palatul Societății Astra Română (Rosetti Square), Palatul Dacia România (Magheru Boulevard) or Palatul Societății Creditul Rural (Brătianu Boulevard/Doamnei Street). The intense activity of the area has lead to the development of this property as a real business center of those times. The area limited by Calea Victoriei, Regina Elisabeta Boulevard (as called today) and Cișmigiu Park included the offices of the most important press offices and printing houses in the country, such as Adevărul or Universul. The latter has established its headquarters into another impressive building signed by Arch. Paul Smărăndescu at 23 Brezoianu St.. In the same time, the importance of the district has driven the erecting of the Palatul Telefoanelor, 1931-1933, being the first major modernist building in town, only few steps away from 7 Matei Millo St. The '30 years represented a consolidation period for the notoriety of the building from 7 Matei Millo St. as a true business center with occupants such as the Letea Paper Factory, an advertising agency (Rador Orient Radio), a tiles factory (Salzberg&Gronen), the Brătianu Wines, the Bukarest Post Newspaper, as well as the offices of various free lancers such as engineers and doctors. Although along time the area has changes its occupants, still, the location in the heart of Bucharest has allowed it to maintain its attractivity over years. Universul Palace has been consolidated and became a hub with tenants from various creative industries. In the next vicinity, on the former address of the National Theather, a successful hotel concept has been implemented - Novotel, and 2021 will mark the delivery of two important buildings on the offices market - Matei Millo and Tandem. Currently, the former Palace of Letea Factory has a versatile character so that the 2,700 sqm could be converted into residential spaces for the urban lifestyle aficionados, into offices for those that would like to remain connected to the city life, or could be turned into a hotel. The space layout, as well as the access allow various partition solutions and use of the space. There is already a project prepared that comes along with the relevant valid building permit.

Near the center of Oradea, a 3-star guesthouse awaits its new owners - the villa has four double rooms, equipped with their own bathrooms, professional air conditioning and classic, solid wood furniture, offering the comforting air of home away from home. The spaces are generous and bright, furnished with taste and care, the attention to details being seen everywhere. The generous living room and a large table are ready to welcome guests, just like in the living room at home, and the relaxation area is complete with a bar and comfortable armchairs. Warm and simple, with an understated elegance, the interior helps the tourist find his or her way effortlessly. The villa can also be used for business meetings and workshops, the living room having a capacity of 20 people and being pre-equipped with cable and satellite TV, Netflix, free Wi-fi and video projector. The kitchen is located on the first level of the property and is fully equipped, care for the comfort of the guest being also observed in the compartmentalization of the storage cupboards for each room. The reception, a mini-gym fully equipped with professional equipment, as well as administrative and technical spaces can be found on the mezzanine level. The property has a terrace, indoor private parking, electronic access system via bluetooth, both within the premises of the unit and individually for each room, surveillance, alarm and monitoring systems, as well as an external 380V outlet for charging electric vehicles. Oradea, the city of wonderfully renovated pastel buildings, enjoys a new life today, being extremely attractive from a tourist point of view - the Oradea Citadel, the Vulturul Negru Palace, a superb example of a Secession-style building, and the Nymphaea aquapark are just a few of the more famous tourist attractions. That is why, investing in a property that works as a business rated with a score of 9.7 on Booking.com, can be a wise decision.

Historical monument of class B, the building in Calea Plevnei encompasses a special architectural and historical value, thus being a reference of the past cultural life of Bucharest. The house was built in 1906 under the command of Ioan Clinciu, a renowned history professor. Born in 1864 in Poarta-Bran, Făgăraș county, in a poor family, he dedicated his childhood and youth to studying, facing many difficulties, detailed in his autobiography written in 1936. In 1883, he crossed the border slipping through the mountains, from Bran to Sinaia, in order to enroll in the Higher Normal School in Bucharest, where Alexandru Odobescu was director at that time. Professor Clinciu began his teaching career in 1889, when Gheorghe Lazăr was just a gymnasium that operated in the courtyard of St. Gheorghe Old church. In 1892, he founded, along with Gh. Popa-Lisseanu, his brother-in-law, Clinciu-Popa Boys Institute. This represented for 24 years one of the capital's elite educational establishments, under the French-Romanian High school. In politics, Clinciu was president of the Association of Secondary Teachers, then he became deputy and senator, first in the Conservative-Democratic party, then in the Romanian National party. In his autobiography, Professor Clinciu proudly recalls: I built a house in Bucharest, a villa in Bran and a wine cellar admired by many in Vadu Săpat. The house in Bucharest displays the refinement of the Art Nouveau style specific to the beginning of the 20th century, a mirror of La Belle Époque. The building with ground floor, first floor and attic has a slender figure, completed by a bow-window on the corner. The doors and windows bear Art Nouveau features, with curved, fluid profiles, crowned by stucco ornaments, details that offer an unquestioning elegance of the exterior. Inside, there are still preserved original elements, testimonies of the past bourgeois life of Bucharest: imposing carved wooden staircase, made by one of the most important workshops of the time, at Interlaken (Switzerland), terracotta stoves with carefully decorated tiles, ornamental stuccoes on the ceilings. The main entrance is grand, marked by a porch with a painted ceiling, delimited by the main hall through doors with rounded profiles of carved wood, with windows sandblasted in the Art Nouveau manner. Calea Plevnei from the former Livedea Gospod / St. Constantine slum hosted numerous homes for teachers and intellectuals, often built with their personal means, including the house where the poet George Coșbuc lived for the last years of his life (at no. 40). At the present no. 72 is the home of Gh. Popa-Lisseanu (1866-1945), brother-in-law of the reputed professor Clinciu, historian, philologist and archeologist. After more than 110 years since its construction, this architectural jewel can be brought back to life through a substantially restoration. An important advantage is the large area of the land and its layout, which generates real potential for further real estate development.

There is much to say about this property located ad litteram at the foot of the Cindrel Mountains, whose forest begins 30m away but, of all the features, the autonomy given by the carefully chosen technologies puts it in a special category - that of sustainable houses, friendly to the nature in the middle of which they are located (also, we do not ignore the fact that independence from public grid comes with financial benefits). The main option for energy independence is the installation of photovoltaic solar panels on the roof of the house - the owner has already filed for the “Green House” program for a 5 kW-installation. Erected in 2015, the building has an area of 203 square meters, with the first level made of monolithic reinforced concrete for the safety of the building, and the second level having walls made of wooden beams (the thermal system is made of basalt mineral wool of 20 cm for a maximum thermal comfort). The building is designed to withstand earthquakes with a magnitude of over 7.5 degrees on the Richter scale; the foundation depth is 2.5 meters, and the roof has profiled sheet metal and a gutter defrosting system. The water for domestic consumption comes from the local groundwater and is captured through two wells equipped with home supply systems, but there is also an alternative source - a rainwater collection system that supplies two tanks with a total capacity of 12,000 liters. Wastewater is collected in a 2-compartment drainable septic tank. Drinking water will be brought in the spring - the project is underway. There is a three-phase power supply, the installed power being of 12 kw. The entire system is protected by a voltage stabilizer and a 4.5 kW diesel generator automated for the entire property. Thermal comfort is provided by a gas-fired boiler plus a Viessmann wood-fired boiler with a 1000l buffer (the bathrooms have underfloor heating). A pressurized solar panel and a 200l electric boiler provide hot water separately from the plant. A Daikin system is responsible for the air conditioning of the house; there is high speed fiber optic internet. The security of the property is ensured by the video surveillance and burglar alarm system, and the fire protection with a DSC system. Privacy is guaranteed by windows with double-glazed windows and Spiegel foil. All these impressive facilities are spread on 1350 or 1800 sq m of land (with a street front of about 60 m) on which there are a house with 4 rooms, a gazebo, annexes, carport and a private road and swimming pool. On the ground floor, the focal point is the fireplace, the work of the famous Mihai Iancovescu, restorer of the Brukenthal National Museum; it makes the relaxation area have sleek accents for quiet and comforable living. The adjacent cooking & dining area is flooded at dusk by a golden light; evening is also a good time to sit on the terrace and gaze far away to the Făgăraș Mountains. As a reliable help for the living space, the basement houses a summer kitchen, the laundry room, a wine cellar and one technical room (the pantry is attached to the kitchen on the ground floor). The sleeping area means three bedrooms (the master bedroom comes with a dressing room), two bathrooms, a hall and a technical room. Two of the bedrooms have access to the rustic terrace facing east. Outside, in the courtyard lined with trees that bear delicious fruits, there is a gazebo that is perfectly equipped for outdoor dining having a pizza oven, grill, heater and foil closure plus bathroom and storage. In addition to this pavilion on the property there are seven outbuildings, with metal doors, carport and a cellar with access from the outside. The area is quiet and green, and the fact that it is surrounded by large private properties guarantees a peaceful future, without construction sites (in addition, the road is private and has a low traffic of less than three cars/ day).

Standing proudly in central Bucharest, this exceptional property was once the residence of an outstanding intellectual family - the Teodoreanu family. The family's origins stretch far beyond the 1848 Revolution, and included both famous lawyers and engineers with spectacular lives. All three sons of the Teodoreanu family were at the front in the war that gave birth to Greater Romania, but they remained emotionally attached to the property, so Alexandru, one of them would buy back the building. At the same time, the family name is closely linked to Romanian culture, Ionel Teodoreanu leaving a strong mark on the Romanian literary landscape through his evocative writings of childhood and adolescence. With a rich history and remarkable architecture, this property was even the scene of famous moments contained in the wonderful trilogy La Medeleni. Being a home full of inspiration and creation, the residence itself has been both witness to events and moments full of life, and the focal point of the existence of the family members so that they have also acquired colour and character under the pen of Ionel Teodoreanu's talent. Built in 1912 in a period of economic prosperity typical of the Belle Epoque, this residence is much more than a living space - it is a cultural testimony to a remarkable period in Romanian history. This building preserves a fragment of the atmosphere of inter-war Bucharest, perhaps the most flourishing period of Great Romania. The residence was also built with rigour, with a view to its durability and longevity for future generations.

Welcome to the epitome of elegance and sophistication in the heart of Bucharest's historical Dacia area. Nestled in this prestigious location, just a stone's throw away from the iconic Romana Square, lies an exquisite classical furnished apartment offering a generous interior living space. Upon entering this timeless residence, you are greeted by a sense of grandeur and charm that transcends time. The meticulously preserved classical design elements take you on a journey through history, evoking a bygone era of opulence and refinement. Elaborate cornices, ornate moldings, and beautifully crafted wooden parquet flooring grace each room, ensuring an air of nobility in every corner. The spacious living area exudes an aura of tranquility and warmth, boasting an abundance of natural light filtering through large windows, enhancing the allure of the graceful interiors. Adjacent to the living space, a well-appointed dining area invites you to host intimate gatherings or lavish dinner parties. The enchanting ambiance is further elevated by the presence of a charming fireplace, evoking a sense of coziness on cooler evenings. The property also comprises an garage with access from the courtyard, in sole proprietorship and a terrace with access from the back yard. This classical apartment in Dacia area, Bucharest, is a true gem in the city's historical tapestry.

This household is proud and rich, protected from the eyes of strangers by a solid brick wall; to the outside world it shows only a facade wearing a decorative belt in the colors of summer wheat. A flirty plant motif, a tulip, indulges in cartouches on the wall. The blue shutters border windows that open inside to large and bright rooms with beams on the ceiling and wonderful stoves - original stoves with tiles, corner stoves, high stoves, stoves built like an elegant sideboard that instantly catches the eye. The doors are often double and painted in the traditional green colour of the area; cheerfully painted benches preserve the custom of the place. The large courtyard, with its vaulted gate once used by ox carts, is today filled with well-kept grass and shrubs; cobblestone paths line the house and plants grow on the corners near the gutters. Here and there the windows open among the leaves and branches that grow hanging on the wall, creating that rustic atmosphere that promises coolness and pampering. There are four traditional houses located on 9000 square meters of urban land. Their age varies and starts from 1862 when a house with one bedroom, bathroom, hall and cellar was erected. Another construction is from 1950 and offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms and hallways, cellar and shed/stable. In addition to these there is a building with two rooms, hall, bathroom, shed and workshop and another with shed, restaurant (living room), kitchen and technical room (on the first floor there is an apartment with living room, bedroom and bathroom). Although they have complete autonomy and can be owned individually by different owners, they can also work excellently as a tourist guesthouse or event center because they are also served by a building where the spa area, deckchair, sauna, and terrace are arranged. The village is not large - a settlement of houses lined up along the road, most of them having green fields at the bottom of the yard, typical of the hilly relief, from the Hârtibaciu plateau. Located 20km from Viscri, the emblematic village of Transylvania popularized by King Charles the III of Great Britain, Grânari enjoys the same Saxon features and traditions but avoids the congestion and prices of its more famous neighbor. photo Florin Pepene

Sânpetru, one of the 14 establishments founded by Saxon colonists in 1211 in Țara Bârsei, was known throughout history as Petersburg, Sant Petru or Mons Sancti Petri. Called by the locals „The Old School”, one of the most important buildings in Sânpetru hosted the Evangelical Saxon School for more than a century. The now private property is undergoing a renovation process in order to receive a new function in the near future: hotel and event center. The two buildings are built in L shape on the edges of a 2500 sqm land that offers plenty of usage options. The location is very fortunate, in the historical area of Sânpetru, in the vicinity of the Evangelical Fortified Church built in 1794 on the foundation of a 13th-century church. The access to and from Brașov is facil and the view towards Lempeș Hill nearby ensures a relaxing sight. The main building facing the street, built in the second half of the 19th century, is the former school and bears an important historic value. Its main façade, recently renovated, contains neoclassic elements. The balanced proportions and symmetrical composition embellish it, with the two entrances mirroring each other. The total built surface is 1058 sqm and the four levels are basement, ground floor, first floor and attic. The conversion project implies creating a winery, dining areas and generous rooms with en-suite bathrooms and dressings. The secondary building fully renovated with premium finishings, and is fully furnished and utilated. There are 408 sqm built on two levels. At the groundfloor we have the kitchen and an big events hall. At the first floor we have two apartments that are ready to use. . With a generous land and two renovated buildings, in the immediate vicinity of Brașov but offering the fresh air that climbs down from Lempeș at twilight and the picturesque panorama of Țara Bârsei, the former Saxon School in Sânpetru can shortly become one of the touristic landmarks of the area.

One of the most beautiful manors of Oltenia, Romano Mansion in Pleșoiu was built between 1920 and 1925 after the plans of Grigore Cerchez. Although erected in the interwar period, the manor has a long and intense history going all the way back to Tudor Vladimirescu’s times and also all the way to Russia where it get its name. The brothers Romanov, because they are the ones that started this story, were seven brothers from Russia that were hired mercenaries in Tudor’s Army. A few of them stayed forever in Oltenia: two of them killed during the Battle from Drăgășani and one of them settling at Pleșoiu where he started a family that over the years will build this magnificent beauty we admire even today. Taken by the communists in 1949, the manor became a students camp, then a farm, then a school, while in the last years of the communist times it was considered to be the “private retreat of Emil Barbulescu, the nephew of Nicolae Ceausescu himself and a very important figure of the Olt county of those times. The manor was given back to the heirs of the Romano family in 1998 and since then it went through some renovations and repairs. The manor is spectacular, with rich decorations as we would expect from a very exuberant neoromanian style of Grigore Cerchez: the high tower with beautiful design, the round smaller tower on the opposite corner, de façade decorations, the monumental pillars marking the main entrance and the tri-lobes arches being only a few of the elements that are really eye-catching. The manor itself, the main building, has a 313 sqm footprint nd a total built area of 429 sqm, while additionally we will find two more buildings that offer usable space: a second home, as old as the manor, with a total built area of 128 sqm and a more recent construction with a total built area of 339 sqm. The gate is a monument in itself, with two high and very imposing towers, that make the entry to the property resemble the access in an old citadel or in a cathedral. The domain is a lot bigger, has a total of 8.57 ha and comprises a lot more elements : a 1 ha pond with fish, a big size pool (more than 400 sqm) , more small annex buildings but also a big one, with more than 300 sqm footprint, that can be transformed at will by its future owners. With such a rich history that it can become a screenplay for an adventure movie, with an unmatched architectural beauty and with such a large domain, the Romano Mansion is a valuable asset that can be transformed in a beautiful hotel, an events center or a clinic. However it can also be used as it once was, as the main residence with a lot of character, with an important historical and architectural value.

Bordered by the river and the forest, the property is perfectly insulated from the fertile lands of the area - a belt of trees jealously embraces the land and protects it from prying eyes. Seen from above, by the birds of the sky, the property appears as a small cheerful area on with a cute little house on it. The ribbon of chess-like tiles meanders through the bodies of houses and guides the gaze to the perfectly mowed lawn that borders it. The main body, called the chalet, has a hochoparter which is reached by a wooden staircase that continues as a balcony surrounding the building on one side. On the ground floor there is the kitchen; upstairs and in the attic there are three bedrooms; the matrimonial one, generous and bright, enjoys a fireplace in the soothing colors of the sand. The rooms have ceilings entirely covered with wood or are crossed by decorative beams that integrate the space in nature. Another body houses a lounge equipped with sofas, a table for 12 people, a fireplace, a kitchen and a bathroom, thus being the hospitable host for elegant events. In addition to the recreational options, there is a 60 sqm indoor swimming pool, heated by air and water pumps. Also here there are a sauna, bathrooms and locker room, a technical room and, upstairs, a guest bedroom with bathroom. Heating is done with heat pumps; the water comes from a well drilled at 40m depth with a flow rate of 4 m3 / h, which practically offers the possibility of bottling water if so desired. The 9000sqm plot allowed the arrangement of a 25x10 m pond between sandstone edges, an organic vegetable greenhouse and a playground with a swing complex and other challenges for the little ones. Geoagiu de Sus is a quiet village with a once episcopal church, founded by a lord of Wallachia with fiefs in southern Transylvania - Radu cel Mare, Neagoe Basarab or Radu de la Afumați, as historian Nicolae Iorga believes. Today, the 18th century mural painting shows post-Brâncovenesc features. Cluj Airport is about 60 km away, which provides quick and easy access while Alba Iulia is only 23 km away and brings a wealth of shopping options, restaurants and cultural activities. photo Florin Pepene

Exclusive property, composed of 4 distinct units, with Smart Home system and luxury finishes. The renewed city is the city that lives again, more vibrant and eager for affirmation than ever. This is the expression of a new generation that does not indulge and for whom sacrifice is crowned by the reward of abundant living. There is nothing wrong with luxury, just as there is nothing wrong with an olive wreath, as a result of a toil, sometimes a lifetime, and as a symbol of tranquility and peace, in a neighborhood that is reinventing itself, in proximity to the legislative center, long and more recently, the religious center of the country. The building is composed of 4 units, as follows: two duplex apartments, with 7 rooms and 3 bathrooms each, one of which with its own courtyard, dividing the ground floor, floors and attic, and a 2-room apartment and a studio apartment, at the high mezzanine level, with natural ventilation and sufficient light.

The location, equipment and attention to details are essential elements of an exclusive property that crowns a future residence or headquarters that reflects luxury, in the complexity of its facets. The property can be sold as a whole or unit by unit, depending on the requirement. *The price includes VAT

A trees covered hill in the back, a lazy river flowing nearby, plenty of fresh green from the forest, a clear blue sky and the feeling of that perfect vacation home!
