Nestled in the rolling hills of the Istrian interior, the medieval town of Grožnjan—the "City of Artists"—stands as one of the Mediterranean’s most coveted cultural and creative destinations. Surrounded by terraced olive groves and vineyards, this region offers a perfect harmony of Mediterranean and continental climates, providing an ideal microclimate for a sophisticated lifestyle.
In the tranquil vicinity of this romantic hilltop town, in a spot of absolute peace and serenity, we present an extraordinary stone estate (stancija). This 100-year-old stone beauty has been "dressed in new clothes," where its architectural past meets timeless luxury in an unobtrusive, masterful blend of tradition and high-end living.
Spanning a massive private territory of 15,304 m² of pristine nature, the estate is fully enclosed by a traditional stone wall, offering total privacy and seclusion. The compound consists of:
Renovated Heritage Villa: A graceful 232 m² primary residence, originally built in 1920 and meticulously adapted in 2020.
Contemporary Wellness & Media Wing: A 279 m² new-build structure featuring a wellness center, mediateka, and an ultimate private cinema hall, connected via a covered terrace to a summer kitchen and a private wine cellar.
The Pool & Deck: A magnificent 88 m² swimming pool with an expansive professional sunbathing area.
Completely renovated in 2020 with the highest quality bespoke furniture, the main villa is a tribute to Istrian heritage. Original structural elements, such as centuries-old wooden beams and reclaimed stone, have been integrated into a three-story layout that successfully merges rustic soul with modern minimalism.
Ground Floor: An impressive open-space living room with a gallery and open fireplace, a chef’s kitchen with a spacious dining area, a grand foyer, and a guest powder room.
First Floor: A wide hallway leading to a generous master suite with a spa-like bathroom.
Second Floor: A gallery space and a second large bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.
Technical Excellence: Equipped with central heating, a modern heating/cooling/ventilation system, and Satellite TV.
Accessibility: Reached via a clean asphalt road with extraordinary parking capacity (7 dedicated spaces).
Sea Distance: Approximately 19,000 m (a scenic 20-minute drive to the coast).
Condition: Fully furnished and equipped to 5-star standards.
Permits: Complete documentation including Building and Usage permits; energy certification is in progress.
While the primary residence and wellness wing provide immediate luxury, the remaining portion of the built estate awaits final completion according to an existing Conceptual Design (Idejno rješenje). This allows a new owner the unique opportunity to finalize the "Stancija" to their specific taste.
