Villa For Sale In Svetvinčenat, Pula

SVETVINČENAT – Spacious Istrian estate on approximately 3 hectares of land in the heart of central Istria!

In the picturesque surroundings of Svetvinčenat, a charming Renaissance town set on a rocky plateau 310 meters above sea level in southern central Istria, this expansive Istrian estate offers a rare opportunity to own a unique countryside property with development potential. Svetvinčenat is renowned for one of the most beautiful Renaissance squares in Croatia and for the exceptionally preserved medieval Morosini-Grimani Castle, making it a highly attractive destination known for its natural beauty, cultural heritage, events, and eno-gastronomic tourism.

Located in the peaceful rural area near the town, this estate extends across approximately 3 hectares of meadows and pastures forming one unified property. Within the grounds are a renovated stone house, a stable, an above-ground swimming pool, and an additional stone ruin, with a total built area of approximately 320 m². The property blends authentic Istrian character with modern functionality, offering both privacy and long-term value in the growing Istrian real estate market.

The original stone house has been carefully restored, preserving its architectural heritage while introducing contemporary design elements. The result is a timeless combination of traditional Istrian stone construction and modern living standards. The interior extends over three levels and has been fully adapted for comfortable year-round living, featuring warm wooden elements, natural stone details, and rustic-style furnishings that create an inviting and elegant atmosphere.

The ground floor includes a spacious living room with a gallery area, a dining room connected to the kitchen, a home office, a guest toilet, and a storage room. The first floor comprises two bedrooms and a bathroom, while the attic level offers additional space that can be customized according to the new owner’s preferences, whether as extra bedrooms, a studio, or a relaxation area.

The entire estate is fully fenced and carefully maintained, ensuring privacy and security.
A particularly valuable feature is that 3,767 m² of the land is located within a designated residential construction zone, providing the possibility for additional building development (in the area of the stable building which is not legalized). This significantly increases the investment potential of the property, whether for expanding residential capacity, developing additional accommodation units, or creating a boutique rural tourism project.
