Lovingly renovated stone house with panoramic views of Motovun and a separate guest apartment

The charming stone house is located in a small hamlet, an idyllic settlement below the famous medieval artists’ town of Motovun. Nestled in the gentle hills of the Istrian hinterland and surrounded by forests, meadows, and vineyards, the location offers maximum privacy and a close connection to nature. Only a few inhabited neighboring houses and stone ruins are in the immediate vicinity, creating an exceptionally quiet living atmosphere. From almost every part of the house, there are sweeping views of the characteristic hilly landscape of central Istria as well as of Motovun, impressively situated on a ridge. The unique combination of an almost secluded setting and good accessibility makes this property particularly attractive. Motovun is among the best-known and most beautiful places in inland Istria. The historic old town, with its winding alleys, small boutiques, galleries, excellent restaurants, and traditional konobas, attracts visitors from all over the world. The town is also internationally renowned for the Motovun Film Festival and its outstanding truffle restaurants, as the surrounding forests are among Europe’s most important truffle regions. The area is considered a paradise for nature lovers, hikers, and cyclists. Numerous hiking and cycling trails run through vineyards, olive groves, and shady forests along the Mirna Valley. At the same time, renowned wineries, olive-oil producers, and agricultural family farms are located in the immediate surroundings, shaping the authentic character of this region. Despite the nature-oriented location, you do not have to forgo good infrastructure. Shops for daily needs, cafés, restaurants, and other facilities are just a few minutes’ drive away in Motovun or in the neighboring towns of Livade, Oprtalj, and Pazin. The Istrian expressway is also easily accessible and connects you to the coastal towns of Poreč, Rovinj, and Umag, as well as to Pula International Airport. Depending on your destination, the Adriatic coast with its many beaches and marinas can be reached in about 30 to 45 minutes by car. This makes the property suitable both as a permanent residence and as an exclusive second home or holiday house.

Those seeking the authentic soul of Istria will find in this estate a place where peace, nature, culture, and cuisine blend together in a unique way. This exceptional stone house offers the rare opportunity to become part of this distinctive landscape and to enjoy the Mediterranean way of life anew every day.
