Description
Amid gentle hills, this impressive residence rises on a nearly 10,500 m² plot in complete seclusion. The view extends far over the vineyards, olive groves, and the historic cityscape of Motovun. A location of rare quality that combines absolute tranquility with a unique 360-degree panorama.
The main house is an architectural statement of modern elegance and Mediterranean lightness, featuring an open living area on the ground floor - here, the fireplace, lounge, and dining area merge into an elegant centerpiece. An adjoining family kitchen with a breakfast atrium has been stylishly integrated into the space, creating a seamless transition between the interior and the Mediterranean outdoor lifestyle with direct access to the terrace. A separate wing within the main house serves as staff quarters and houses a second main kitchen used by staff and chefs. This wing has been embedded in such a way that it does not affect the private character of the house. Upstairs, there are four spacious bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom and private balcony. The rooms are high-quality equipped, thoughtfully designed, and offer a quiet, understated atmosphere that combines comfort and elegance at the highest level - some even with their own fireplace. The spa area in the basement extends the property into an exclusive wellness zone. With a heated indoor pool, sauna, and fitness room, it offers ideal conditions for relaxation and recuperation. The annex features a konoba with a stylish wine cellar on the ground floor, ideal for social gatherings. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms with private bathrooms - equally high-quality designed, with expansive views and gentle color schemes - ideal for guests who wish to be granted additional privacy. The outdoor area is a tribute to Mediterranean life. The expansive terrace with lounge and dining areas frames the infinity pool with an integrated Jacuzzi area – seemingly blending seamlessly with the landscape. A summer kitchen and a separate pool patio with an open fireplace expand the outdoor use possibilities and make the property a popular place to visit all year round. A double garage with two e-charging stations, generous parking spaces, and thoughtful technical infrastructure underscore the high functional standards of this property.
This villa is an architectural masterpiece and at the same time a lived retreat. A place for people who not only want to see the extraordinary but to live it.
