About this property

If you're searching for complete privacy, untouched nature, and the freedom to create your own off-grid lifestyle, this remarkable 17,000 m² plot offers a rare opportunity in one of Romania's most remote and beautiful wilderness areas.

Located near the village of Glod on the border of Suceava and Harghita counties, this secluded property is surrounded by forests, streams, and wildlife, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking independence, sustainability, and a true connection with nature.

Approximately 35–40% of the land is flat and suitable for building, gardening, or small-scale farming, while the remaining land is covered with mature forest, providing natural privacy, firewood, and a rich habitat for local wildlife.

The property is fully registered in the Romanian Land Registry and is being sold by a private owner.
