Introduction

A magnificent estate dating from 1855, this historic Istrian property offers an extraordinarily rare opportunity to own a piece of Austro-Hungarian heritage in one of Europe's most desirable regions. The four-bedroom estate has been sensitively restored to preserve its original character, with thick stone walls, traditional Istrian stancija architecture, and mature grounds, while incorporating modern comforts befitting a contemporary luxury residence. It sits within the rolling green heart of inland Istria, a landscape of medieval hilltop towns, ancient olive groves, and truffle-rich oak forests, between the coast and the celebrated hill towns of Motovun, Grožnjan, and Buzet. The region has earned comparisons to Tuscany for its culinary excellence and natural beauty, yet remains far more accessible. Request Access to view full project details, pricing, and availability.
