Property description
Located in the heart of Istria, between Motovun and Porec, this villa is a rare find on the market. Originally an elementary school, the building has a rich history as a place of learning and socializing. After a comprehensive renovation completed in 2024, it now serves as an elegant dwelling that retains its historical soul while providing all the comforts of modern living. The high ceilings, original large windows, spacious corridors and thick stone walls have been carefully preserved. Every detail, material and technical element has been thought out to breathe new life into the villa without disturbing its unique character.
There are three bedrooms on the upper floor: the former classrooms and the principal's office have been converted into a spacious master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, as well as two additional bedrooms that share a modern bathroom. On the ground floor, two large rooms of 56 sq.m. each dominate the layout — one serves as a living room, the other as a kitchen and dining room, ideal for family gatherings, work or leisure. Additional facilities include a laundry room, a walk-in closet, a guest toilet and technical rooms.
The villa is equipped with a underfloor heating system powered by a Daikin heat pump, Daikin air conditioners throughout the house and a modern alarm system with surveillance cameras for security. The extensive plot is fully landscaped with lush Mediterranean vegetation, creating an authentic Istrian atmosphere and providing privacy. In the courtyard there is a large swimming pool for enjoying warm days, which is securely fenced with three gates to ensure privacy and security. There is also a large well-maintained parking lot capable of accommodating several cars, which increases convenience.
An exceptional opportunity is offered at the expense of an adjacent additional land plot of 7,087 sq.m., available for a separate purchase. This additional plot is located in a development area and includes an old stone house in need of renovation. Together, the villa and the adjacent plot offer many development opportunities, such as the construction of additional tourist facilities, recreation areas, or the creation of a private estate or an exclusive Istrian complex. The additional plot is not included in the indicated price of the villa, details are available on request.
This villa is not just real estate — it is a unique space where history and modernity meet in perfect harmony, combining aesthetic appeal, functionality and emotions. For more information or to make an appointment for viewing, please contact us.
