Sustainable designer residence with pool & views over the Istrian countryside (No. 3)

Amid olive groves and vineyards, surrounded by the Mediterranean landscape of Istria, this exclusive residence offers a special retreat for those seeking to combine nature-oriented living, modern design and sustainable comfort. The small, private residential complex is situated in the peaceful village of Škrinjari near Umag, while also enjoying excellent connections: Pula Airport and the Italian coastal city of Trieste can each be reached in approximately one hour. Consisting of just five residences, the boutique development was designed with a focus on quality, privacy and sustainable living. A particular feature is the construction made entirely of solid, glue-free iQwood timber—an exceptional concept for sustainable building in Istria. Facing northeast, Residence No. 3 extends over two floors and is fully completed and ready for occupancy. It is handed over unfurnished, giving the new owner the special opportunity to design the interiors entirely according to their own taste and personal style. On the ground floor, the spacious, open-plan living area with a modern kitchen, dining area and lounge forms the heart of the home. Floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows create a seamless connection to the generous terrace, which features an electric roof and is equipped for an outdoor kitchen, while offering beautiful views of the adjacent olive grove and the surrounding Istrian landscape. The private pool with adjoining sun deck invites residents to enjoy relaxing hours amid the Istrian countryside. A guest toilet with space for a washing machine and a cloakroom complete this level. The upper floor contains two almost equal-sized bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. The central staircase separates the two sleeping areas, thereby providing additional privacy. The high-quality timber construction and natural materials create a particularly pleasant indoor climate. Underfloor heating operated by an efficient heat pump, along with an electric-vehicle charging station prepared for installation, complement the sustainable features. Two private covered parking spaces and a spacious storage room accessible from outside provide additional convenience.

The combination of a natural setting, contemporary design and sustainable construction makes this residence an exceptional second home in Istria. Thanks to its complete construction, it can be acquired without any further building phase and designed entirely according to the owner’s preferences—as a private holiday residence, personal retreat or long-term investment.
