Romania is as beautiful and untouched as the south of France a few decades ago, be one of the first of many to invest whilst prices are still low.

Why is this house so cheap?? I hear you say, well the reason is simple, as I am fully aware of the present “economic climate” and I wish to sell. 

Yes even by Romanian standards, it is very cheap, taking into account the fact that it has been fully modernized, you can also live in it all the year round if you so wish, as I do. 

So if you are in the position to take advantage of a “buyer’s market” this holiday home presents an excellent investment opportunity for the future.

One important point is that you are purchasing a property that benefits from the new form of title deeds, here in Romania, this property has been officially measured and fully registered in the land office with myself as the sole owner, you are not purchasing a property that still requires to be officially registered, maybe with several owners, with all the uncertainty involved with such a purchase. In this case, as I have the full documentation necessary, you are able to purchase the property right away, giving you peace of mind.

This renovated traditional Romanian house sits on the edge of the village of Casota, the “best side“ which means that it benefits from an uninterrupted view of the setting sun in those wonderful long sunny days here in Romania, as you will see anywhere on the internet, the climate here is excellent!

The size of the land is 1266 square meters, the house 86.38 square meters.

The house consists of 2 bedrooms, sitting room, dining room, kitchen and bathroom, The dining room is next to the kitchen, and is glazed along it`s length, looking onto the terrace, which has a pergola covered in grape vines in the summertime.

The house is surrounded by a large garden, plenty of room for a swimming pool etc, again the swimming pool would benefit from the sun all day, nothing to shade it. With the investment of a swimming pool, the house would have a good holiday rental return.

Water is from my own well, sewage is by septic tank, also a rubbish collection service. Public Gas supply is available, but not installed.

TV, fixed telephone with an option of cheap international calls, and good internet connection, wifi, which means you can sit in the garden with your laptop. The TV is Romtelecom, and has many films, series etc in English.

The village has 2 general shops plus a small pharmacy, there is a kindergarten for small children.

Cheap international flights to Bucharest the Capital, whizair, bluesky, etc from London

Something that may be of interest, when I sell this house, I will be remaining in the village, I am not leaving, so naturally I will be on hand to “help out” if it is to be a holiday home, I can recommend someone trustworthy to look after it, also help with the garden in general, maybe grow some real vegetables! for your holiday, things like that, because I know only too well arriving in a foreign country, how difficult things can be

The cost of living in Romania is by EU standards very cheap indeed, living here in Casota, you can buy so much local produce, produced organically, from fresh cheese, milk and eggs, to so many different vegetables grown here in the season.

The village of Casota is close to Romania’s capital, Bucharest, at less than 50 miles (82 km), also the Otopeni international airport.   The road from the capital is the main motorway to north-eastern Romania. Casota is 2 km from first exit north after the small town of Urziceni. The town of Buzau is about 27 miles, {45 kilometers)  following the same motorway.

Bucharest has many attractions,  with its cultural scene, 37 museums, 22 theaters, 18 art galleries, opera houses and concert halls.

Medical advantages of being within an hours drive of Bucharest,  Dentistry, there are the most up-to-date facilities anywhere to be found, where crown and bridgework  costs are very much less than the UK and many other countries in Europe, with such low airfares from London, Bucharest is one of the “dental tourism” destinations, also Private Hospitals, where operations can be carried out with highly trained and experienced surgeons, again such a reasonable price, with no “waiting time”

North of Bucharest, the foothills of Wallachia give way to the Carpathian Mountains.and the beautiful Prahova Valley, where the popular ski resorts of Predeal, Busteni and Sinaia are located. Sinaia is also home to the magnificent Peles Castle – a masterpiece of German new-Renaissance architecture, considered one of the best-preserved royal castles in Europe. In the summer time, these resorts are starting points to hiking trails in the nearby Bucegi Nature Park.

Romania is indeed a country for all seasons. A country for lazing in the sun and taking it easy, touring for cultural enrichment, for winter sports, hiking, fishing, horse riding, boating and activities of all kinds.

From the  village of Casota, the city of Brasov is 106 miles, ( 170 kms) to the north, where The International Jazz Festival is held in May,  The International Festival of Contemporary Theatre, April 5-25 , The International Pop Music Festival ” The Golden Stag”in September.  In winter skiing is the obvious attraction. The best-known of a group of resorts is Poiana Brasov, Well-preserved tracks of up to 4,500 m length range from difficult to easy. Most of the instructors are English, German or French speakers. Nightlife is intense, with bars, discos, folklore shows and cabarets.

Prince Charles is passionate about the country and owns a holiday home in picturesque town of Viscri

     Prince Charles holiday house

“Intriguingly Charles is incredibly passionate about Romania. Indeed, he loves the area around the Carpathian Mountains in Transylvania so much that he has bought a holiday home in the region and recently said in an interview: ‘The genealogy shows I am descended from Vlad the Impaler, so I do have a bit of a stake in the country.’ Charles secretly bought the simple, white-washed property in the heritage site of Viscri in 2005 with the help of the Mihai Eminescu Trust, a British-based charity which works to preserve Romania’s historic Saxon villages from destruction, of which he is patron. He paid £18,000 for the three-bedroomed, 18th Century farmhouse. Viscri lies in a picturesque valley in the heart of Transylvania, north-west of Brasov, and is comprised of men and women of mainly of Romanian and gypsy origin. It has already won many of  Europe’s highest awards for cultural restoration and economic regeneration. Charles has visited the village several times and is so taken with the simplicity of local life that he holidays there each summer. He and his security team sleep in the traditional white-washed village house – complete with wooden truckle beds and outside toilets – and drink locally-pressed organic apple juice. The house is rented out to overseas tourists when the prince is not in residence.”
