In a peaceful and scenic part of Istria, just a short drive from Rovinj, in the charming village of Kanfanar, lies this authentic 240 m² stone villa surrounded by greenery and a true Mediterranean atmosphere. Carefully restored to preserve its traditional character while offering all modern comforts, the property provides complete privacy on a beautifully landscaped estate of more than 2,000 m².
The villa is currently arranged as two fully independent residential units, making it ideal for a larger family, a dual-living arrangement, or a combination of private use and tourist rental. Each unit features two bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen, giving residents full autonomy and functionality. If desired, the two units can be seamlessly connected into one spacious home.
During the renovation, great attention was given to maintaining the authentic Istrian architectural style. The roof has been completely replaced, and the house is equipped with modern plumbing and electrical installations. Central heating infrastructure has been prepared, while current heating is provided by air-conditioning units and a charming wood-burning stove that enhances the villa’s traditional ambiance.
A valuable feature of the property is its built-in rainwater cistern, supporting sustainable living and reducing maintenance costs.
The estate also includes a 60 m² auxiliary structure that can serve as a guest house, workshop, studio, or an additional living unit, or garage. According to local building regulations, there is the possibility to construct another building of up to 60 m², offering further development potential.
The expansive 2,000 m² Mediterranean garden has been thoughtfully designed, planted with a variety of native species that create a serene outdoor retreat perfect for relaxation and entertaining. ~
