House for sale in Saschiz - 35'000 Euro

This sturdy Saxon-built house on the main road towards Sighisoara would ideally suit a family or someone looking to start up a smallholding. Many of the houses built by the Saxons were purpose-built for self-sufficiency and therefore have many of the necessary utilities and features, such a vineyards, fruit trees, animal pens, grain storage areas (note the system of pulleys in the back yard for raising grain sack for storage in the loft) and so on. Although this property will naturally suffer a little from passing traffic, it extends back quite a way giving the garden spectacular views of the valley behind. The house itself comprises three rooms upstairs and a hall, two of the room being around 25m2 each. Downstairs there are another two rooms and a large cellar. Another separate building contains another rooms, a bathroom, and a pantry.

House for sale in Feleag - 35'000 Euro

The picturesque village Feleag, part of the Vanatori commune, shelters in the foothills on the border between the counties of Mures and Harghita. It benefits from being a few kilometres away from the main road meaning noise pollution from passing traffic is virtually non-existent. This house is located towards the end of the village meaning that is has a larger courtyard and more land than the typical Saxon smallholding. The house itself has been quite recently renovated, fortunately in a very sympathetic way, maintaining many classically country features. It has two bathrooms, a large kitchen with a traditional wood oven for baking bread or pies, hardwood floors and large wooden doors (the traditional countryside internal doors are generally wider than those we are used to today), and one of the rooms still has its terracotta wood burning stove for heating. Underneath the house is a large cellar with exposed brickwork and beams.
