Villa For Sale In Svetvinčenat, Pula

In a quiet little hamlet near the fairytale town of Svetvinčenat, tucked away at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, lies a charming private estate made up of two authentic stone houses, a traditional konoba and a magical Mediterranean garden. It’s a secluded Istrian retreat where privacy, tradition and nature come together in a warm, timeless setting. Every corner feels personal and soulful, as if the place has been collecting stories for generations.

The main stone house offers 120 m² of cozy, character-filled living space. Stepping inside, you’re greeted by a spacious living room centered around a wood-burning fireplace, creating a welcoming atmosphere perfect for family gatherings, quiet winter evenings or simply relaxing in a space shaped by natural materials and thoughtful details. The rustic kitchen and dining area sit just beyond, bathed in Mediterranean light thanks to large windows that frame a private garden full of roses, olive trees and aromatic herbs. The ground floor also includes a generous bedroom with its own bathroom, ideal for guests or family, along with a large covered terrace beside the living room that’s perfect for sunny breakfasts, lazy afternoons or intimate evenings outdoors.

An interior staircase leads to the first floor, where the master bedroom opens to a large private terrace overlooking olive trees and lush greenery. A comfortable bathroom, a guest toilet and an additional multifunctional room—already finished and easily adaptable into a spa corner, small bedroom or office—complete the upper level.

The second stone house, set at the entrance of the estate, is an 80 m² fully independent structure that provides complete privacy from the main home. Spread across three levels, it currently offers storage space on the ground floor that can easily be converted into a studio, office, wellness area or hobby room. The first floor features a living area with kitchen, dining space and a bathroom, while the top floor holds a spacious bedroom occupying the entire level. It’s an ideal setup for guests, extended family or tourist use.

Next to the smaller house sits a beautiful 40 m² Istrian konoba—warm, fully equipped and designed for year-round enjoyment. It features an open hearth, a large solid-wood dining table and charming rustic elements, with wide sliding glass doors that bring the outdoors inside. A 10 m² additional structure stands beside it, perfect for transforming into a spa room, mini-apartment, gym, office or children’s play space.

The entire estate is wrapped in traditional stone walls and dry-stone boundaries, giving the outdoor area an unmistakable feeling of an old Istrian courtyard. The garden is lush and carefully tended, filled with mature olive trees, roses, fragrant Mediterranean plants and plenty of open green space. The property spans 1,844 m², divided into two separate plots. There is ample room for parking, and the land offers excellent potential for further development thanks to its position within the building zone. A pool, summer kitchen, additional structures, a wellness area or even a small tourism complex could all be added.

The location is wonderfully balanced: peaceful, secluded and traffic-free, yet close to all essential amenities. Kanfanar is just a five-minute drive away, providing shops, restaurants, schools and services, while the Istrian Y motorway is reached in ten minutes. Rovinj and the coast are only about 25 minutes away.

This rare estate is ideal for anyone seeking an authentic Istrian lifestyle with two separate homes for family, guests or tourism, a spacious and enchanting garden, a konoba at the heart of daily life, complete privacy and a location that combines rural calm with easy access to everything important. It’s a place designed for peaceful living, memorable gatherings and creating new family stories in a truly special setting.
