Luxury Stone Estate for Sale in Umag, Istria – Exclusive Restored Villa with Pool, Sauna and Mediterranean Privacy, 2 km from the Adriatic Sea!
Positioned among vineyards, ancient olive groves, and the protected natural beauty of Western Istria, this extraordinary stone villa presents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly distinctive luxury property in one of Croatia’s most desirable coastal regions.
Located in the exclusive residential area of Babići near Umag and only 2 kilometres from the Adriatic coastline and elegant beaches, this private estate embodies the essence of contemporary Mediterranean living while preserving the architectural soul of traditional Istria.
Offering complete privacy, refined design, and seamless indoor–outdoor living, this residence has been created for buyers who value authenticity, timeless aesthetics, and premium lifestyle experiences.
Set on a landscaped 1,349 m² estate, the villa offers 260 m² of carefully curated interior living space arranged across multiple levels and designed to maximise natural light, comfort, and spatial flow.
The architectural concept combines original stone craftsmanship with elegant contemporary finishes, creating interiors that feel both sophisticated and deeply connected to their surroundings.
The ground floor forms the central living environment of the residence. A generous open-plan layout integrates the formal dining area, designer kitchen, and elegant living room beneath a bright and inviting atmosphere. Large floor-to-ceiling glass openings create uninterrupted visual continuity between interior spaces and the surrounding Mediterranean landscape.
Direct access leads onto a covered outdoor terrace designed for year-round enjoyment — from quiet mornings and private breakfasts to long evenings entertaining family and guests beneath the Istrian sky.
The upper floors provide complete privacy and comfort through four beautifully appointed bedroom suites, each with its own private bathroom.
The signature suite located on the upper level opens onto a panoramic terrace overlooking vineyards and open countryside, delivering a setting of exceptional tranquillity rarely found so close to the sea.
The villa was comprehensively restored in 2022 with meticulous attention devoted to preserving its original Istrian identity.
Historic stone walls were carefully retained and structurally integrated with reinforced modern construction methods, resulting in a residence that offers heritage, durability, energy efficiency, and contemporary luxury standards.
Advanced heat pump technology provides economical year-round climate control, while the east, south, and west orientation ensures exceptional sunlight exposure throughout the day.
Outside, the estate has been conceived as a private resort environment.
At its centre lies a 32 m² swimming pool framed by landscaped gardens and mature Mediterranean planting. Adjacent to the pool, a dedicated wellness zone with sauna transforms the property into a complete retreat experience designed for relaxation in every season.
An automated irrigation system maintains the grounds, while secure private parking comfortably accommodates three to four vehicles.
