At an altitude of 1,250 meters, on the largest inhabited mountain plateau in the Apuseni Mountains, on a south-facing slope in Mărișel, lies an exclusive ensemble of two holiday homes. Part of a thoughtfully planned development of six houses, the project is conceived as an authentic nature retreat while also representing a solid investment opportunity in premium mountain tourism.


Located approximately 52 km from Cluj-Napoca, the property benefits from year-round accessibility, making it ideal for weekend escapes or extended stays—offering seclusion from urban life without sacrificing proximity to the city. Mărișel is known for its ski slopes and mountain trails, while the nearby Beliș Lake is a key regional attraction, offering opportunities for water activities, hiking, and scenic landscapes. The area is further distinguished by its well-preserved local traditions, including crafts and traditional vocal ensembles such as Junii Mărișelului, recognized as part of UNESCO’s intangible cultural heritage.


The project has been designed to ensure open views, privacy, and a strong connection to nature for each home, following the principles of traditional mountain rural architecture reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. The properties are suitable both as private holiday residences and as tourism investments with reliable rental potential. The layout of the buildings and access infrastructure allows for year-round vehicular access without compromising the natural character of the site. The internal road connects directly to the county road, ensuring ease of access in all seasons.


Each house is set on a 600 sq m plot and includes a 23 sq m covered terrace and a 32 sq m parking area, resulting in a total built area of 220 sq m. The generous terrace and landscaped courtyard are designed for year-round use. The home offers 125 sq m of usable interior space. The ground floor (59 sq m) comprises an en-suite bedroom, an open-plan living area with kitchen and dining space, a shared bathroom, and a technical room with exterior access. The attic level (66 sq m) includes three en-suite bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, where wood-clad ceilings and dormer windows frame forest views and fill the interiors with natural light.


Internally, the properties are delivered with finished walls, allowing future owners full freedom to personalize the interior design according to personal preferences or investment strategy. Utilities include electrical installations completed according to the architectural project, underfloor heating powered by an air-to-water heat pump, water supply from a private drilled well, and full electrical connectivity.


The structure is reinforced concrete, with brick masonry walls, while the high-quality joinery ensures effective thermal insulation and interior comfort.


The wood-clad façades, standing-seam metal roofing, and carefully controlled proportions ensure a harmonious integration into the Apuseni landscape. These residences possess a clear architectural identity, equally suited for private use or premium hospitality purposes. The two houses may be acquired together or separately, depending on the buyer’s needs.
