Description: NEW LISTING! This is a authentic Istrian house which was completely renovated during the past few years in accordance with the tradition of building in this climate and region. It is located on the edge of a small village along east coast of Istria just a 15 minute drive from the well known town of Labin with its beautiful hilltop location and old town as well as several restaurants, supermarkets, cafes etc. The sea is just 1200 m away with a a forested area leading to it.
At every step, you can see how much effort the owners put in during the refurbishment and decoration of both the interior and the exterior. Attention was paid to every detail.
The entrance terrace is covered, for which wooden beams from the old house were used and restored. The ground floor, terrace and summer kitchen are paved with handmade beautiful and very durable terra cotta imported from Tuscany with a special installation process. The interior walls were plastered with lime, as was the facade, which was done by an entrepreneur whose specialty is the restoration of historical monuments.
On the ground floor of the house there is an open kitchen with a dining room and living room area, as well as a small pantry and toilet. Metal stairs with wooden steps lead to the first floor, where there is a hallway, a bathroom with shower and two bedrooms with wonderful views of the greenery and forest surrounding the house. From the first floor, wooden stairs lead to a charming attic, which was conceived as a separate unit cosisting of a library area, a bedroom area and a bathroom with a small tub. The attic is dominated by wooden details and offers panoramic views from 2 windows. All rooms have built-in wardrobes made by local carpenters from solid wood.
The house has an antique wood-burning stove, regularly maintained, as well as a chimney which was renovated in 2022.
The large yard has been completely renovated as well and fenced with renewed stone wall. Next to the house there is a 2,5 x 8 m swimming pool with a natural water filtration system: no chlorine and no salt are required! Next to the house is a 33m3 water tank, which has always been an advantage, especially nowadays when we are increasingly faced with water shortages in the summer months.
The summer kitchen, which is in the process of completion, elegantly connects the house with the garden.
The yard has been completely landscaped. In 2022 a variety of Mediterranean decorative plants and fruit trees were planted (fig, apricot, pomegranate, olive, plum, pistachio, nectarine, lemon, tangerine...).
The distance from the sea and the beach is 1,200 meters from the house or a 15-minute walk along a path through the forest.
