Description

Amidst olive groves and vineyards, under the Mediterranean sun, a tranquil lifestyle awaits you. Just about an hour from Pula Airport and Italian Trieste, this small, exclusive residential complex is nestled in the peaceful village of Škrinjari. The boutique collection of five eco-luxury villas, four of which are for sale, has been carefully designed for those seeking a balance between nature, comfort, and sophisticated living. What makes this project so special: All villas are constructed entirely of wood - an absolute novelty in Istria and a clear statement for sustainable building at the highest level. The villa offered here (No. 1), oriented to the southwest, impresses on the ground floor with a view into the expansive greenery, and from the first floor, you can glimpse the sea on the horizon. It combines modern design with Mediterranean lifestyle over two floors. On the ground floor, the spacious, open-plan living area with a modern kitchen, cozy lounge area, and direct access to the covered terrace with outdoor kitchen is convincing. Floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows bring light and nature into the house and open up the view of the private pool with an adjoining sun deck. The connection between indoor and outdoor spaces is seamlessly designed, emphasizing the relaxed, open lifestyle. A guest toilet and a practical cloakroom in the entrance area of the villa complete the space on this level. Upstairs, you will find two almost identical bedrooms, both with their own en suite bathrooms. The two rooms are separated by a central staircase, providing additional privacy. The master bedroom also features a private, covered balcony with sea views and into the green surroundings. The thoughtful layout, combined with high-quality construction and natural materials, ensures an exceptionally pleasant living climate all year round. Directly at the house, there are two private, covered parking spaces as well as a spacious, accessible technical and storage room. Sustainability is the focus of this project: The entire construction is based on solid, glue-free iQwood timber, which not only provides energy-efficient insulation but also offers a healthy indoor climate, making it particularly suitable for allergy sufferers. Underfloor heating, operated by a heat pump, and the preparation for e-charging stations complement the ecological concept and ensure optimal comfort and low operating costs. Live the Mediterranean dream - sustainable, beautiful, and well-connected, whether as a holiday residence or a long-term retreat.

This high-quality new villa is located in one of the most sought-after locations in Northwestern Istria, just a few minutes by car from the Adriatic coast. Nestled in green hill landscapes, you benefit from soothing tranquility and at the same time optimal connection to the popular coastal town of Umag, known for its well-kept old town, its marina, and the ATP tennis tournament. Here you will find a wide gastronomic offer – from traditional konobas with homemade Istrian specialties to modern restaurants with international cuisine. Cafés, boutiques, and small markets enliven the town and invite you to stroll. Novigrad, Poreč, and the romantic Rovinj are also easily accessible and invite you to culinary discoveries, cultural events, and beach experiences. In just about 10 minutes, you can reach the nearest bathing bay or one of the modern marinas that offer berths and numerous options for boat trips along the Istrian coast. Cycling and hiking enthusiasts will get their money's worth on the numerous natural trails in the area, especially the gentle hills in the Istrian hinterland invite you to hikes, bike tours, and excursions to medieval villages like Grožnjan or Motovun. Golfers will find a challenging course with a sea view at the nearby 18-hole golf course Adriatic in Savudrija. In the vicinity, there are also renowned, well-known wineries, olive oil producers, and charming country inns that invite you to tastings of their homemade fine drops and culinary experiences, making the region a paradise for connoisseurs. The excellent infrastructure makes the journey particularly convenient: Pula Airport can be reached by car in about an hour, Trieste Airport (Italy) is about 90 kilometers away, and Venice International Airport (Italy) is around 190 kilometers away. The connection via the well-developed Istrian highway network is also excellent, making this location attractive not only for vacationers but also for long-term stays or weekend commuters. The combination of idyllic nature, proximity to the coast, high-quality leisure activities, and excellent accessibility makes the location of this sustainable design villa a true insider tip in Istria – ideal for all who seek tranquility and quality without wanting to forgo infrastructure and experiences.
