Timeless Istrian charm - Three-bedroom stone villa with traditional flair and personality

Set on a 2.701 m² plot in a peaceful and picturesque part of central Istria, this exceptional estate - with an additional guest house - presents a unique fusion of rustic authenticity and thoughtful contemporary reinterpretation of traditional Istrian architecture. Elegant and harmoniously integrated into its natural surroundings, the property is designed as a fully formed architectural and spatial whole—ideal as a private residence, a home for extended stays, or a high-category holiday rental investment.

The main villa encompasses 245 m² of interior space and is composed of two connected volumes: a traditional stone house and a tower built in a medieval style, joined by an impressive ten-meter glass wall overlooking the forest. This architectural interplay of heritage and expressive design creates a harmonious ambiance defined by openness, refinement, and a sense of intimacy.

The stone house is arranged with a strong sensibility for balancing rustic charm with modern comfort. The open-plan ground floor includes a kitchen, dining area, and living room with large glass walls that offer views of the landscaped garden. The space is enriched by a piano, adding a distinctive touch of character. Two spacious bedrooms are located on the upper floor, each with an en-suite bathroom equipped with freestanding bathtubs that highlight the luxurious tone of the interior. Custom-made modular furniture, a solid oak dining table, vintage elements, and industrial accents further elevate the aesthetic. A discreetly integrated wellness zone includes an iroko wood sauna, concrete whirlpool, central fireplace, and an additional bathroom with a shower, adding a layer of comfort and functionality.

The tower, conceived as an independent yet seamlessly connected unit, includes a living room, an additional kitchen, a private mini-cinema, a bathroom, and a terrace on the ground floor. Upstairs, a bedroom with a bathtub and direct garden access offers privacy and seclusion. A freestanding wrought iron staircase leads to this elevated zone, while the flat, walkable rooftop provides potential for additional amenities such as a lounge area or sundeck.

The villa’s exterior has been carefully designed to deliver an authentic nature experience - free from immediate neighbors, surrounded by fragrant Mediterranean vegetation and a landscaped yard. It includes a 25 m² infinity pool with a sun deck, a fully equipped outdoor gym, and a covered terrace with a built-in barbecue and wood-fired oven - perfect for year-round outdoor enjoyment and entertaining.

An added highlight is the 110 m² guest house on the property, ideal for hosting guests, accommodating staff, or generating additional rental income.

The location offers a rare combination of privacy and accessibility - vineyards, olive groves, and wooded hills provide a scenic backdrop, while the coastline is only a 20-minute drive away. Proximity to the Slovenian and Italian borders, along with excellent motorway connections, make the estate a strategically attractive choice.

The total built area is 326 m², comprising 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.
