Villa Zu Verkaufen In Motovun, Umag

From an institutional capital perspective, this contemporary luxury villa for sale in Motovun, Istria, represents a high-yielding, premium asset engineered specifically to capture the lucrative high-end vacation rental market. Motovun remains one of the most recession-resilient real estate micro-locations in the ”Croatian Tuscany,” driven by an acute shortage of premium inventory and an affluent, year-round international tourist demographic. Positioned on an expansive 1,410 square meter private plot with a southwest orientation, this designer estate boasts a gross area of 255.60 square meters (190 square meters net) and commands an uninterrupted, multi-layered panoramic view of the Adriatic Sea, the Alps, and the historic hilltop towns of Grožnjan, Vižinada, and Završje.

This asset is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the massive, non-seasonal rental demand from neighboring Slovenia. Given Motovun’s exceptional geographic proximity—sitting a mere 30-minute drive from the Slovenian border—this property serves as an elite, easily accessible drive-to destination for high-net-worth Slovenian executives, entrepreneurs, and luxury weekend travelers. This proximity effectively mitigates the standard seasonal dips of coastal real estate, unlocking a highly profitable, year-round rental model that targets both premium summer holiday weeks and affluent off-season wellness weekend getaways.

To maximize rental yield and occupancy rates, the villa’s layout incorporates a highly monetizable ground-floor spa and wellness zone featuring an infrared sauna, a steam sauna, and a commercial-grade hydromassage jacuzzi. This wellness infrastructure integrates seamlessly with an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area that flows out to a covered loggia. The first floor is dedicated to high-end accommodation, comprising a guest bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, a versatile bedroom/office suite with a private terrace, and a grand master suite with an en-suite bathroom and a private panoramic viewing deck. The entire villa is delivered fully furnished to a meticulous custom standard, utilizing premium Italian designer furniture, custom lighting systems, and high-end sanitary ware.

The exterior grounds function as a self-contained private resort, anchored by a heated 55 square meter infinity overflow pool equipped with a premium Magnapool magnesium water system, automatic pH regulation, a hydromassage zone, and an automated BWT cleaning robot. The outdoor living infrastructure is completed by an 80 square meter pergola pavilion, a fully integrated summer kitchen, a 50 square meter covered parking canopy for two vehicles, and an automated 6 cubic meter rainwater irrigation reservoir.

From a technical and operational expense (OpEx) perspective, the villa is exceptionally optimized to protect net profit margins. It features a decentralized 12.3 kW solar power plant, an industrial-grade heat pump, full underfloor heating across all rooms, an integrated fan-coil cooling network, a Nobel water softening system, a fast EV charging station, and an ENTIA smart home system with comprehensive video surveillance. This ultra-high energy efficiency infrastructure guarantees remarkably low overhead costs, vastly improving the net operating income (NOI). For institutional investors or private equity buyers seeking a high-liquidity holiday home with a proven, ultra-premium rental framework tailored for the Slovenian and Central European luxury markets, this Motovun villa stands as an unrivaled investment vehicle.

Overall additional expenses borne by the Buyer of real estate in Croatia are around 7% of property cost in total, which includes: property transfer tax (3% of property value), agency/brokerage commission (3%+VAT on commission), advocate fee (cca 1%), notary fee, court registration fee and official certified translation expenses.
