If you’ve ever dreamed of stepping back in time, you’re in luck — an entire historic village in Europe can now be yours for roughly $788,000.
Feresti, a charming village nestled in Maramures County, Romania, is up for grabs, courtesy of Sotheby’s, according to the Daily Mail.
This unique portfolio is steeped in history and offers a glimpse into the past that’s nothing short of magical.
What makes Feresti so extraordinary is its remarkable authenticity.
The property comprises five houses and a meticulously recreated settlement, all designed to emulate local architectural styles dating back to a staggering 625 BC.
Those houses, constructed in 2014, feature traditional furnishings that include colorful rugs, timber ceilings, wooden beams, and hand-painted blue and green doors, paying homage to the village’s rich history.
Sotheby’s describes these houses as “ideal places for families eager for nature and relaxation, or for those who want to disconnect from daily life.”
Surrounded by idyllic farms and fields, Feresti provides the perfect retreat from the stresses of normal life.
But don’t worry about feeling too isolated; it’s just a short 30-minute drive to the nearest shops, cafes and restaurants, ensuring you have all the modern conveniences within reach.
The property sprawls over 0.94 acres and boasts an array of amenities.
There’s a picturesque pond stocked with trout, carp and sturgeons; a large pavilion for gatherings; a sauna for relaxation; a hot tub for unwinding and a BBQ area for savoring outdoor meals.
Thrill-seekers will also be delighted by the presence of a zip line, providing an exhilarating way to explore this charming Romanian enclave. And for those with a green thumb, an authentic stone storeroom with a rooftop garden is perfect for growing herbs and attracting local wildlife.
The village boasts a total of 22 beds spread across 14 bedrooms, as well as six bathrooms. One of these bedrooms even features a swing chair hanging from the ceiling beams.
The region around Feresti is steeped in Romanian traditions, and locals proudly honor their history.
The listing states: “In Feresti, the place where Romanian traditions are still alive, where folk costumes are proudly worn, and households hide stories behind monumental wood gates, a unique ensemble of traditional houses is waiting to reveal itself in front of lovers of beauty.”
The property encompasses almost 25,000 square feet of land.
For those seeking a touch of adventure, a tree house is tucked away in the wooded area, ready to be explored.
