We are glad to introduce a wonderful villa with swimming pool mere 2 km from the sea on Krk island (peninsula)!
This business plan below analyzes the acquisition of a newly constructed (2024) designer villa in the elite Šotovento region of Krk Island.
In the 2026 real estate landscape, Šotovento is recognized as the "Beverly Hills of Krk," prized for its lush greenery, wind protection, and high-end privacy.
Priced as a turnkey asset, this 180 m² property represents a low-risk entry into the most stable micro-market in the northern Adriatic.
Asset Class: Luxury Detached Villa with Pool
Micro-Location: Žgaljići, Šotovento, Krk Island (2,000m from the coast)
Core Value Drivers: 2024 New Construction, 4 En-suite Bedrooms, Modern Open-Space Design, and NZEB (Near Zero Energy Building) standards.
This property is categorized as "High-End Kvarner Investment Real Estate." In 2026, the demand for "Workation" villas—properties that offer high-speed connectivity and Mediterranean lifestyle—is at an all-time high. Being situated only 15 minutes from Rijeka Airport (RJK) and the Krk Bridge, this villa captures the lucrative "drive-to" market from Munich, Vienna, and Milan.
The property features a sophisticated 180 m² layout optimized for maximum guest capacity and comfort:
Ground Floor: A seamless "indoor-outdoor" living experience with a high-end custom kitchen, storage, and a guest suite with private access to the terrace.
Upper Floor: Three expansive master suites, each boasting its own en-suite bathroom and direct access to a 40 m² panoramic balcony.
Outdoor Living: A 500 m² curated plot featuring a heated swimming pool, professional sun deck, stone BBQ zone, and 4 dedicated parking spaces.
The villa is sold fully furnished with bespoke, high-quality furniture, meaning it can transition from acquisition to revenue generation in less than 30 days.
Since the villa is a 2024 build, there are no construction risks or permit delays. The capital is deployed immediately into a yield-bearing asset.
