22 high-end lakeside villas, luxury apartments, and a private marina — where every home opens directly onto the water.
SunLake Snagov Signature Collection is a high-end waterfront development located on the shores of Lake Snagov, Ilfov County, north of Bucharest. Set on a carefully selected 15,000 m² hillside plot acquired in 2024, the project brings to Romania a concept previously seen only in the world's most prestigious waterfront destinations: the marina villa — where each home owner has a boat berth directly accessible from their property.
Building permits were obtained in 2025, with construction set to begin in Spring 2026. Upon completion, the development will encompass 22 premium villas, a multifunctional building with luxury condominiums and commercial spaces, a private marina, and a watersports and leisure center.
Most villas benefit from direct lake views — a result of the natural hillside gradient of the plot, which ensures unobstructed panoramas for every residence. This is not a coincidence of design but a deliberate consequence of site selection: every decision in the development process has been made with the resident experience at its centre.
The origins of SunLake Snagov Signature Collection lie in two specific places. The first is Palm Beach, Florida — one of the world's most sought-after residential waterfront destinations, where a particular type of property has defined a style of living: the marina villa. Owners park their yachts and motorboats directly in front of their homes, stepping from the living room to the dock in seconds. The boundary between home and water virtually ceases to exist. The second is Empuriabrava, in Catalonia, Spain — home to Europe's largest marina, where thousands of villas line an intricate network of navigable canals.
"Why does Romania not yet have this? Lake Snagov is 16 km long, easily navigable, historically rich, and within 30 minutes of central Bucharest. The lake already has clubs, restaurants, spas, and a growing community of people who choose to live and holiday there. What it lacked — until now — was a development that fully committed to the waterfront lifestyle as its central proposition."
Lake Snagov lies in Ilfov County, approximately 40 km north of central Bucharest. It is one of the most distinctive natural features of the Bucharest metropolitan area: a 16 km long, navigable lake with a surface area of approximately 6 km², bordered on all sides by mixed forest. It is home to a national historical monument — the 14th-century Snagov Monastery, built on an island in the centre of the lake — and has been a favoured destination for Bucharest residents since the early twentieth century.
SunLake Snagov is located on the western shore, at a point that balances seclusion with accessibility. Genuine lakeside setting, genuine privacy, genuine connection to nature — alongside rapid and easy access to the capital. It is not a remote retreat that demands a long drive and a commitment of time. It is a different world that is always within reach.
The 22 premium villas are arranged across the hillside plot in three typologies — Extended Living, Signature Estate, and Compact Luxury — in quantities and positions designed to maximise both privacy and lake views. The natural gradient of the terrain creates a cascading arrangement where each row of villas maximises natural light. All villas are accessed from an internal private road within the gated community. The spacing between villas has been deliberately generous to preserve the sense of privacy that a premium residential address demands.
Each villa carries the name of an iconic waterfront destination — from Monaco and St. Tropez on the marina front, through the Mediterranean isles, to the tropical paradises at the heart of the development.
22 premium villas across three typologies, accessed from an internal private road within the gated community. Each villa has its own private yard, private garage, and a directly allocated marina berth. Spacing between villas is deliberately generous to preserve privacy.
The centrepiece of the development and the feature that most directly distinguishes SunLake Snagov from any other residential project in Romania. A watersports centre offers wakeboarding, water skiing, paddleboarding, kayaking, monoski, plus a private skipper and vessel hire service.
A different residential typology for buyers who prefer condominium living — same specification, same marina access, same address. Ground floor dedicated to commercial use, conceived as an architectural counterpoint to the low-rise villa landscape.
Every villa shares a core set of features — private yard, infinity or lap pool, dual rooftop terraces, enclosed garage, and a dedicated marina berth — that establish SunLake Snagov as a different proposition from any other residential development in Romania.
The mid-range typology. Generous proportions for family life.
A more generously proportioned villa with extended interior volumes and a larger garden, designed for families and buyers who prioritise spacious living. The Extended Living typology represents the natural middle ground of the Signature Collection — particularly suitable for buyers who use the property as a primary or secondary family residence rather than primarily as an investment. The double private garage accommodates two vehicles, and the expanded ground floor plan creates greater separation between living, dining, and kitchen zones.
The flagship. The most expansive expression of the concept.
The largest and most prestigious typology in the Signature Collection — designed for buyers who want the definitive SunLake Snagov experience: the maximum footprint, the maximum view, the maximum outdoor living area. The four private terrace levels — ground terrace with pool, first-floor terrace, and the dual rooftop terraces — create a layered vertical living experience unique to this typology. At each level, the lake is present: as a reflection in the pool, as a panorama from the intermediate terraces, and as a full 180-degree sweep of water and sky from the rooftop. A statement property: recognisable from the lake, unmistakable on the hillside.
The entry typology. Lakeside, in a focused footprint.
A fully realised lakeside villa in a compact and efficient form, designed to maximise the outdoor living experience. The Compact Luxury designation is not a compromise — it reflects a deliberate design philosophy that concentrates the premium experience into a focused footprint, prioritising outdoor space, rooftop living, and the marina connection over interior volume. Particularly well suited to buyers seeking a lakeside retreat that requires minimal maintenance and offers maximum returns as a rental investment. The compact scale means lower running costs, whilst the specification — identical to the larger types in every significant respect — ensures rental yield potential fully commensurate with the premium positioning.
SunLake Snagov does not simply offer a home beside a lake. It offers access to a complete world — of sport, culture, gastronomy, history, and nature — that exists within a 10-minute drive.

SunLake Snagov Signature Collection offers a range of villa prices across three typologies, with two flexible payment structures designed to accommodate different investment strategies. The Romanian residential market has consistently delivered strong capital appreciation over the past decade, and continues to attract increasing international investor interest as Romania's economic development and its integration into European infrastructure networks make it an increasingly credible long-term investment destination.
Full payment at contract signature
Eligible for the preferential (discounted) price as shown in the pricing schedule. Recommended for buyers who have the capital available and who wish to maximise the value of their investment from day one. The preferential price represents a meaningful discount from the instalment price, available exclusively on this payment structure.
Linked to defined construction milestones
Five equal payments of 20%. The first instalment is due at contract signature; subsequent instalments fall due as construction progresses. This structure provides greater cash-flow flexibility for buyers who prefer to stagger their capital commitment over the construction period.
Detailed pricing for each villa typology and unit is available on request from our sales team. Prices are quoted in Euros. A dedicated investment briefing — including rental yield projections, market comparison data, and transaction structuring options — is available for qualified buyers.
Request Pricing Schedule →A Bucharest-based residential developer that has delivered more than 300 apartments across ten completed projects in central and ultra-central Bucharest, and currently holds a residential portfolio of over 700 units. Total development value across the portfolio exceeds €120 million.
The company is characterised by a consistent track record of delivery: the majority of Park Properties' projects have been more than 80% pre-sold before construction completion, reflecting the strength of market confidence in product quality and project management capability. This track record is directly relevant to buyers — it provides evidence, not promises, of the developer's ability to deliver on its commitments.
SunLake Snagov represents a deliberate step change for Park Properties — the company's first foray into the lakeside luxury villa segment, and its most ambitious project to date.
The project is backed by site selection — the 15,000 m² waterfront plot was one of the last of its kind available on Lake Snagov — and by a specification with international brand-led interior finishes that is a first for the Romanian villa market at this price point.
"A landmark development that redefines what lakeside living can be — combining the privacy of a villa with the freedom of a marina, on the shores of one of Romania's most beautiful lakes."
Private site visits can be arranged by appointment for qualified buyers. The development site is accessible from Bucharest in approximately 30 minutes. We are able to arrange transfers from central Bucharest or from the Pipera business district on request.
