Amidst olive groves and vineyards, under the Mediterranean sun, a tranquil lifestyle awaits you. Just about an hour away from Pula Airport and the 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 refined living. What makes this project so special: All villas are constructed entirely from wood – an absolute novelty in Istria and a clear statement for sustainable building at the highest level. The villa offered here (No. 4), oriented to the northeast, impresses with its quiet location and view of the greenery. It combines modern design with a Mediterranean lifestyle across two floors. The ground floor boasts a spacious, open-plan living area with a modern kitchen, a cozy lounge area, and direct access to the covered terrace with an outdoor kitchen. Floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows bring light and nature into the house and open up the view to the private pool with an adjacent sun deck. The connection between indoor and outdoor spaces is seamlessly designed and underscores the relaxed, open lifestyle. A guest WC and a practical wardrobe in the entrance area of the villa complete the room offer on this level. Upstairs, you will find two almost identical bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. The two rooms are separated by a central staircase, which provides additional privacy. The master bedroom also features a private, covered balcony with a view of the green Mediterranean landscape. The thoughtful room layout, combined with high-quality construction and natural materials, ensures an exceptionally pleasant living climate all year round. Directly at the house are two private, covered parking spaces and a spacious technical and storage room accessible from outside. Sustainability is at the heart of this project: The entire construction is based on solid, glue-free wooden elements in iQwood construction, which not only provides energy-efficient insulation but also 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 – sustainably, beautifully, and well-connected, whether as a holiday residence or a long-term retreat.
