Set on an impressive plot of 10,608 m², of which as much as 8,921 m² is designated as building land, this unique estate in central Istria represents a rare opportunity on the market, a refined blend of authentic residential architecture and exceptional investment potential.
Nestled in a peaceful and picturesque setting, surrounded by forests, vineyards, and Mediterranean vegetation, the main villa with an additional guest house forms a harmonious architectural composition that combines rustic Istrian tradition with contemporary design. At the same time, the substantial share of building land offers outstanding development opportunities - whether through expansion of the existing complex, construction of additional villas, or the creation of an exclusive resort concept.
The main villa offers 245 m² of interior space and is designed as two interconnected units a traditional stone house and a medieval-style tower, linked by an impressive ten-metre glass wall overlooking the forest. This architectural concept creates a strong visual identity and a seamless connection with nature.
The stone house is designed with a focus on balancing rustic character and modern comfort. The open-plan living area integrates a kitchen, dining area, and lounge, with large glass walls opening onto the landscaped garden. A piano defines the interior as a central feature, while two spacious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms on the upper floor provide a high level of privacy. The bathrooms are fitted with freestanding bathtubs, and the space is further enriched with custom-made furniture, an oak dining table, vintage details, and industrial accents. An integrated wellness area includes an iroko sauna, concrete whirlpool, fireplace, and an additional bathroom.
The tower functions as an independent yet fully integrated unit, featuring a living room, additional kitchen, mini cinema, bathroom, and terrace on the ground floor, as well as a bedroom on the upper level with direct access to the garden. A distinctive architectural feature is the freestanding wrought-iron staircase, while the walkable flat roof offers additional space for a lounge area or sun deck.
The exterior is conceived as a private oasis with no immediate neighbours, offering a landscaped garden and complete tranquillity. A 100 m² infinity pool with sunbathing area, a fully equipped outdoor gym, and a covered terrace with a built-in barbecue and traditional bread oven create an ideal setting for outdoor living throughout the year.
The estate also includes an additional house with 110 m² of interior space, suitable as a guest residence, staff accommodation, or a separate rental unit.
The key value of this property lies in the extensive building land, providing exceptional flexibility for future use from private estate expansion to the development of a luxury multi-unit project, in line with the growing demand for high-end real estate in Istria.
The location offers an ideal balance between privacy and accessibility, the sea is just a 20-minute drive away, while proximity to Slovenia and Italy, along with excellent transport connections, further enhances the attractiveness of this investment.
The total built area amounts to 426 m², including 245 m² of interior space in the main villa, 75 m² of terraces, and an additional 110 m² of interior space in the auxiliary house.
