Beautiful Villa in Istria, Croatia
A luxurious, newly built, 190 square metre house, set in a plot of 750 square metres with panoramic views across the rolling Croatian countryside to the sea. It has its own pool to cool off in, a large undercover seating area for those alfresco meals and neatly kept gardens to laze in while you soak up the Croatian sun.
The villa has been built to the owner???s specification and furnished to the highest standard. It was completed in 2007 for personal use so is in immaculate condition. This is an exclusive development in a tiny traditional village close to all the required facilities but far enough away to feel as though you have stepped back in time. Fruit, vegetables, eggs, wine and olive oil are all available from the local farmers often delivered on foot to your door.
It is being sold fully furnished and equipped, making it an ideal purchase for anyone wishing to rent it or to use immediately for holidays. The ground floor has a large open plan lounge / kitchen with separate laundry room, an exceptional formal dining room, two spacious bedrooms, large bathroom and further WC with walk in shower.
A beautiful oak stairway with an impressive picture window overlooks the fields and farmland of the Croatian countryside and leads to the second floor where there is a grand master bedroom, en suite bathroom with a large corner bath and an upstairs balcony with a panoramic view of the Adriatic coastline.
The villa is tastefully decorated throughout, with long, wide hallways and high vaulted ceilings giving the property a feeling of grandeur and luxury and there are double glazing and air conditioning / heating units in the main rooms.
It is furnished and equipped to an exceptionally high standard with the added advantage of a security system, electric gates and satellite TV.
Outside there are well kept lawns dotted with young trees and flowering shrubs, a large rockery, fashioned from local stone excavated when the swimming pool was dug and a parking area for several cars. An 8m x 4m swimming pool lies within a surrounding patio area and a striking ornamental fountain stands at the entrance to the property.
The subtle garden lights are designed to illuminate the pool, house and gardens against the night sky to create a truly impressive vista when you return home after an evening in neighbouring Tar or nearby Porec.
