Description
In a privileged panoramic location and within walking distance of the medieval old town of Kastav, an exceptional estate is being created that reinterprets Mediterranean architecture at the highest level. On a private plot of approx. 1,766 m², this exclusive ensemble combines a prestigious main villa with an independent wellness and leisure pavilion into a residential concept unrivaled in the Kvarner Bay. With a total living area of around 510 m², the property offers a private retreat in the style of a boutique resort. The architecture unites the timeless elegance of traditional Mediterranean villas with a contemporary design language. Earthy natural tones, classic clay roof tiles, striking arched windows, as well as delicate steel frames and expansive glazing create a harmonious overall appearance. High-quality materials such as oak, terrazzo, terracotta and natural stone lend the interiors a warm, authentic atmosphere. The three-storey main residence impresses with a well-conceived floor plan for sophisticated family living. Four spacious bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and dressing area, ensure maximum privacy. The centerpiece is the living, dining and kitchen area extending over two levels and connected via a double-height void. A cloakroom with guest WC, a utility and plant room, a private fitness area with sauna, as well as two garage spaces with direct access to the villa complete the accommodation. An architectural highlight is the separate wellness and leisure pavilion. Over two levels it combines relaxation, enjoyment and entertainment with a heated indoor pool, sauna, wine cellar with tasting room, and a stylish bar lounge with fireplace, separate kitchen and direct access to the outdoor pool. A guest room with en-suite bathroom enables comfortable overnight stays at the highest level. In addition, there are three further covered outdoor parking spaces available here. The Mediterranean-designed outdoor areas with olive trees, lavender, rosemary, natural stone walls and terraced levels offer maximum privacy. Sun terraces, elegant lounge areas and the outdoor pool emphasise the exclusive boutique atmosphere. This extraordinary private refuge combines timelessly elegant architecture, exceptional living quality and a well-thought-out lifestyle concept and is suitable both as a prestigious second home and as a value-stable investment property.

Location: Kastav, Primorje-Gorski Kotar County
Kastav is one of the most sought-after residential locations in the entire Kvarner Bay. The historic small town rises about 365 meters above sea level between Rijeka and Opatija and captivates with a unique combination of historical charm, excellent infrastructure, and impressive views of the Adriatic and the islands of Kvarner Bay. Its elevated position ensures a pleasant climate year-round, ample privacy, and exceptional quality of living. The medieval old town of Kastav is among the most beautiful historic townscapes in Croatia. Cobblestone lanes, lovingly restored natural-stone houses, picturesque squares, galleries, excellent restaurants, and stylish boutique hotels give the town a special atmosphere. At the same time, Kastav offers all everyday amenities—from shopping and schools and kindergartens to medical care—combining urban comfort with Mediterranean ease. Excellent transport links make the location particularly attractive. Rijeka’s city center can be reached in about 20 minutes by car. As Croatia’s third-largest city, Rijeka offers a wide range of culture, dining, and shopping, as well as international infrastructure. The elegant Opatija Riviera is only about 15 minutes away by car. Magnificent villas, renowned luxury hotels, exclusive marinas, and the famous seaside promenade characterize this traditional spa resort. The offering is complemented by numerous restaurants, boutiques, and an international school. The region also provides ideal conditions for leisure and nature lovers. Directly behind Kastav’s church begins a hiking and cycling trail that leads through the wooded slopes of the Učka mountain range. Sailing, water sports, tennis, nearby golf options, and outstanding cuisine featuring fresh fish, truffles, and top regional wines underscore the high quality of life. The Riviera’s many beaches and hidden coves can be reached in about ten minutes by car. Internationally, the location impresses with excellent accessibility. Rijeka Airport on the island of Krk, as well as the motorway toward Slovenia, Italy, Austria, and Germany, are at a convenient distance. The timelessly elegant private retreat enjoys a discreet yet urban setting below the medieval old town, just minutes from all key amenities. Proximity to the Opatija Riviera, the port city of Rijeka, and the scenic beauty of the Kvarner region and Istria makes this address an exceptional center of life for people with the highest standards in architecture, quality of life, and Mediterranean lifestyle.
