Description of the site:
In the picturesque village of Chara, located among the green hills of the island of Korcula, is a charming stone house, combining the soul of old Dalmatia with the comfort of modern life.
This carefully restored traditional stone house offers breathtaking views of the surrounding vineyards and the sea in the distance and is an ideal destination for those seeking peace, spaciousness and an authentic atmosphere of Mediterranean life.
The house has two residential floors with a total area of about 100 m2. On the ground floor there are two cozy bedrooms and a bathroom; each room is decorated in a simple and harmonious style, emphasizing natural materials and respecting the original architecture. Open stone walls, wooden ceilings and thick walls create a pleasant microclimate, ideal for both summer heat and cool winter evenings.
The upper floor serves as the main living space. The kitchen, dining room and living room are combined into an open and spacious whole, which simultaneously creates a feeling of home comfort and elegance. Large French windows open the interior to a terrace facing south, which becomes a natural extension of the living area. On the same floor is a second bathroom, which ensures practical use of the house without having to move between floors.
The terrace of about 40 m2 is divided into two levels. The upper part is fenced and invites you to summer dinners, evening rest or just quiet contemplation of the sea horizon. The lower part is not currently in use, but offers various possibilities - for example, installing a hot tub, a small pool or a lounge area with sun loungers. All open space is connected to the interior and creates a harmonious background where life inside and outside naturally intertwine.
The plot also includes a separate part - the original garage, which was carefully converted into a summer kitchen. At its center is a traditional Dalmatian stove - a street stove for frying and baking, where you can cook fresh fish, homemade bread or just sit with friends and family in a relaxed atmosphere.
The village of Chara is known not only for its leisurely pace of life, but also for quality wine - it was here that one of the most famous varieties of white wine in Croatia - Posip - was born. The local landscape consists of vineyards, olive groves and rocky paths, inviting for walks and bicycle trips. The rhythm of life here is calm, sincere and leisurely - ideal for those who want to slow down and regain balance.
Shops, post offices and other necessary services are within walking distance. In the summer season, the village comes to life thanks to cultural and gastronomic events, local festivals and farmers' markets, where you can taste homemade cheeses, wine, olive oil and fresh fruit.
The sea is five minutes away. The nearest bay, Zavalatitsa, offers a calm environment and crystal clear water. A little further away is Zhitna beach, popular due to fine gravel, shallow water and turquoise water. Here will also find their place families with children and those who seek solitude and peace.
About 25 kilometers away is the city of Korcula, the main cultural center of the island. This historic city, often referred to as “little Dubrovnik”, offers narrow stone streets, Renaissance and Gothic architecture, cozy restaurants and cultural events. It is an ideal place for a day trip, shopping or an evening walk overlooking the harbor.
This stone house in Chara is a rare example of how old and new, tradition and modernity can combine. It is an ideal choice for those looking for a second home to return to, or for those looking to live all year round in the natural rhythm of the island. Due to its location, condition and authenticity, the house also has significant potential for seasonal rentals.
Everything in the house is ready for immediate use. Serious repairs are not required - just drive in and start enjoying what only real Mediterranean life has to offer. Morning silence overlooking the vineyards, evening sunsets over the sea, summer dinners on the terrace, the aroma of lavender and the chirping of crickets – all this you will feel here day after day.
If you are looking for something real, with character, history and future, this stone beauty on Korcula deserves your attention.
