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.

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.
