Croatia, Dalmatia coast, Peljesac - Villa with swimming pool

Close to the beaches of Divna and Duba, in a small, quiet hamlet on the Pelješac peninsula, stands a stone villa whose roots reach back about 340 years. The renovation has been carried out down to the last detail: the stone in every part of the house has been carefully worked and fitted into a harmonious whole. You can feel the handcraft and the story of the materials, something no new build can reproduce.
The entrance on the ground floor leads into a spacious living room with a dining area, and a stone arch opens the view towards the billiards area. Terracotta floors, stone walls and wooden ceiling beams create a warm atmosphere, while underfloor heating makes the stay comfortable outside the summer months as well. The ground floor also includes a daytime living area, a storage room and a wine cellar with brick walls and bottle shelves. A stone staircase leads to the first floor, where there is a second spacious dining area, a kitchen and a living room, as well as two bedrooms with their own bathrooms. The second floor offers two more bedrooms with bathrooms, and wooden stairs lead up to the attic, an open space with a skylight that is currently used as a children’s sleeping area. A concrete slab separates the floors, and wood has been kept only in the ceilings. The entire house is air-conditioned, the windows have mosquito screens, an indoor fireplace is an integral part of the interior, and the installation for a sauna is already in place.
The outdoor space has been designed with the same care as the interior. A large stone terrace in front of the house looks towards green hills and mountain peaks, and behind the house there is a completely private terrace for quiet moments. The automated swimming pool with robotic cleaning, measuring 25 × 5 metres, is set among stone walls and olive trees, with a jacuzzi and a bar. Next to the pool are an outdoor kitchen with a WC and an outdoor fireplace by the terrace, and a covered parking area and a technical room with automated equipment complete the property.
The location is one of its greatest advantages. The beaches of Divna and Duba are nearby, and larger towns with shops, restaurants and everything needed for daily life are reached by a short drive. Yet the villa is far enough away to ensure peace and quiet: no one lives in the neighbourhood, so the silence is complete.
The villa is in demand on the rental market, with bookings achieved even outside the summer months. It is therefore equally interesting to two types of buyers: those who want their own peaceful retreat, a place for holidays and family gatherings, and those looking for an outstanding property to continue operating in tourism, without the need for initial investment.
