A unique villa in the Poreč area, blending historical charm with Italian elegance, fully renovated in 2024. The property offers 282 sq.m. of living space on a 2,070 sq.m. landscaped plot.
Located in the heart of Istria, between Motovun and Poreč, this villa is a rare find on the market. Originally an elementary school, the building has a rich history as a place of learning and community. After a comprehensive renovation completed in 2024, it now serves as an elegant residence that preserves its historic soul while providing all the comforts of modern living. High ceilings, original large windows, spacious hallways, and thick stone walls have been carefully maintained. Every detail, material, and technical element was thoughtfully selected to breathe new life into the villa without compromising its unique character.
The upper floor features three bedrooms: the former classrooms and principal’s office have been transformed into a spacious master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, alongside two additional bedrooms sharing a modern bathroom. On the ground floor, two large rooms of 56 sq.m. each dominate the layout—one serves as a living room, the other as a kitchen and dining area, ideal for family gatherings, work, or relaxation. Additional spaces include a laundry room, cloakroom, guest toilet, and technical rooms.
The villa is equipped with underfloor heating powered by a Daikin heat pump, Daikin air conditioning throughout, and an advanced alarm system with surveillance cameras for security. The expansive plot is fully landscaped with lush Mediterranean vegetation, creating an authentic Istrian atmosphere and privacy. The courtyard features a large swimming pool for enjoying warm days and is securely fenced with three gated entrances to ensure discretion and safety. There is also a large landscaped parking area capable of accommodating several vehicles, enhancing convenience.
An exceptional opportunity is offered by an adjacent additional land plot of 7,087 sq.m., available for separate purchase. This extra land is within a construction zone and includes an old stone house in need of renovation. Together, the villa and the adjoining land offer numerous development possibilities, such as building additional tourism facilities, a wellness area, or creating a private estate or exclusive Istrian complex. The additional land is not included in the villa’s listed price, with further details available on request.
This villa is more than just a property—it is a unique space where history and modernity come together in perfect harmony, combining aesthetic appeal, functionality, and emotion. For more information or to schedule a viewing, please feel free to contact us.
