Description

Amid olive groves and vineyards, surrounded by the Mediterranean landscape of Istria, this exclusive villa offers a special retreat for those seeking to combine nature-oriented living, modern design and sustainable comfort. The small, private residential development is located in the peaceful village of Škrinjari while also offering excellent connections: Pula Airport and the Italian coastal city of Trieste can each be reached in around one hour. Consisting of just five residences, this boutique development was designed with a focus on quality, privacy and sustainable living. A distinctive feature is the construction, built entirely from solid, glue-free iQwood timber—an exceptional concept for sustainable construction in Istria. Facing southwest, Residence No. 1 extends over two floors and is handed over fully furnished and ready for occupancy. On the ground floor, the spacious, open-plan living area with modern kitchen, dining area and lounge forms the heart of the home. Floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows create a seamless connection to the generous terrace with electric canopy and outdoor kitchen. The private pool, adjoining sun deck and Istrian sunshine invite you to enjoy relaxing hours outdoors. A guest WC with integrated washing machine and a cloakroom complete this level. Upstairs are two almost equally sized bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. The central staircase separates the two sleeping areas, providing additional privacy. The master bedroom also features a private, covered balcony with views across the green landscape towards the sea on the horizon. The high-quality timber construction and natural materials create a particularly pleasant indoor climate. Underfloor heating powered by an efficient heat pump, together with an EV charging station, complements the sustainable amenities. Two private, covered parking spaces and a spacious storage room accessible from outside provide additional convenience.

The combination of its nature-oriented location, contemporary design, sustainable construction and high-quality amenities makes this residence an exceptional second home in Istria. Thanks to the complete furnishings and immediate readiness for occupancy, you can enjoy your new home without delay—as a private holiday residence, personal retreat or long-term investment.

Location: Babići, Istria

This high-quality new-build residence is located in one of northwestern Istria’s most sought-after areas, just a few minutes by car from the Adriatic coast. Surrounded by green rolling hills, it offers peace and tranquillity while also providing excellent access to the popular coastal town of Umag, known for its well-preserved old town, marina and ATP tennis tournament. The town offers a wide range of dining options, from traditional konobas serving homemade Istrian specialities to modern restaurants offering international cuisine. Cafés, boutiques and small markets bring the town to life and invite you to stroll around. Novigrad, Poreč and romantic Rovinj are also within easy reach, offering culinary discoveries, cultural events and beach experiences. In just around 10 minutes, you can reach the nearest swimming cove or one of the modern marinas, which provide berths and numerous opportunities for boat trips along the Istrian coast. Cycling and hiking enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy on the numerous nature trails in the surrounding area. In particular, the gentle hills of inland Istria are ideal for hikes, cycling tours and excursions to medieval villages such as Grožnjan and Motovun. Golfers will appreciate the nearby Adriatic Golf Course near Savudrija, an 18-hole facility offering a challenging course with sea views. The surrounding area is also home to renowned wineries, olive oil producers and charming country inns, inviting visitors to sample their refined homemade products and enjoy culinary experiences, making the region a paradise for gourmets. Excellent infrastructure makes travelling here especially convenient: Pula Airport can be reached by car in approximately one hour, while Trieste Airport (Italy) is around 90 kilometres away and Venice International Airport (Italy) approximately 190 kilometres away. Access via Istria’s well-developed motorway network is also excellent, making this location attractive not only for holidaymakers but also for long-term stays and weekend commuters.

The combination of idyllic nature, proximity to the coast, high-quality leisure facilities and excellent accessibility makes the location of this sustainable residence a true insider tip in Istria—ideal for anyone seeking peace and quality without sacrificing infrastructure or memorable experiences.
