Description

In a breathtaking hillside location above the eastern coast of Istria, this modern new-build villa presents itself on a plot of just over 1,500 m² as an architectural highlight with an incomparable sea view. On approximately 327 m² of living space, it combines contemporary design, high-quality furnishings, and a Mediterranean lifestyle in an impressive way. The building harmoniously blends into the green hillside landscape and offers spectacular views over the deep blue Adriatic Sea from almost every room. The ground floor houses three stylishly designed bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom – two of which have direct access to the terrace and pool area. Large windows flood the rooms with daylight and merge the indoor and outdoor areas. The open kitchen and dining area form the communicative center of the house. Here, modern living meets Mediterranean ease. A guest toilet and a practical storage room under the stairs complete the space on this level. On the first floor, accessible via an internal staircase as well as a separate external entrance, is the spacious living room – a light-filled retreat with a wrap-around balcony and a fascinating panoramic view over the sea and the surrounding landscape. On the same floor is the luxurious master bedroom, which leaves nothing to be desired with its en-suite bathroom and private sauna. The adjoining north-facing and partially covered balcony offers an ideal place to find a cooler spot in the shade on hot summer days. The outdoor area reflects the elegance of the house: A generous sun terrace with an adjacent infinity pool invites you to linger, while the Mediterranean garden with olive trees provides authentic Istrian flair. A Jacuzzi can be easily installed near the pool, as all necessary connections are already present. Two parking spaces and a separate side room accessible from the east, which can be used as storage and storage space, complete the space offer. The villa is sold furnished, and the completion of the construction project is expected in spring 2026. If interested, the adjacent plot of nearly 4,260 m² can also be purchased, offering a variety of additional uses and guaranteed privacy. This villa combines modern residential design, exclusive furnishings, and a spectacular view – a retreat that combines luxury, tranquility, and nature in perfect harmony.

Location: Drenje, Istria

The villa is located in the charming coastal village of Drenje, situated above Rabac on the eastern Riviera of Istria - a region known for its pristine nature, crystal-clear bays, and spectacular panoramic views over the Kvarner Bay. The property is only about 950 meters as the crow flies from the Adriatic coast, whose shimmering blue is impressively integrated into everyday life. Narrow paths lead in just a few minutes to the surrounding bays and small, unspoiled beaches, distinguished by their seclusion and clear water. Nestled between the sea and mountains, Drenje offers a unique combination of Mediterranean tranquility and proximity to the main cities of the peninsula. Only about a 20-minute drive separates you from Rabac, a lively coastal town with a marina, whose picturesque harbor promenade, fine pebble beaches, and excellent fish restaurants invite you to linger. Rabac is considered one of the most beautiful seaside resorts in Istria and offers a perfect complement to Drenje's quiet character. The historic old town of Labin - with its art galleries, charming cafés, and boutiques - is about a 15-minute drive away. Here you will also find all essential facilities for daily needs - from supermarkets to banks to medical care. The bustling coastal city of Pula with its Roman amphitheater and Pula Airport, from which numerous European destinations are directly accessible, is about an hour's drive away. The fashionable Riviera of Opatija, the cultural center of Rijeka, or the charming old towns of Poreč and Rovinj are also comfortably reachable in about an hour. Leisure enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy here: the entire east coast of Istria offers itself for excursions, characterized by its natural beauty, hiking trails, mountain bike routes, and the interplay of sea and hills. The Kvarner Bay and the nearby Učka Nature Park area provide additional opportunities to actively experience the beauty of the region. The immediate surroundings are characterized by small wineries, olive groves, and traditional konobas serving authentic Istrian cuisine. The transport connections are excellent: in addition to the already mentioned Pula Airport, the Italian airport in Trieste, about 145 km away, also serves as a departure/arrival destination. The international airport of Venice is also conveniently reachable in just under three and a half hours. Drenje is a place for all those who wish to enjoy the tranquility of the sea, the proximity to nature, and the comfort of urban accessibility in perfect balance - a quiet paradise with perhaps the most beautiful sea view in Istria.
