House, Detached

Istria, Buje – In the very heart of the historic old town of Buje, hidden from view and peacefully nestled within the old town centre, lies this exceptionally charming and authentic Istrian stone house, offering approximately 212 m² of living space and a beautifully landscaped private garden of 83 m².

The house was created through the renovation and conversion of a former old barn, while numerous original elements and the character of the space have been carefully preserved. The interior has been thoughtfully complemented with furniture and decorative details from different historical periods. The result is a unique combination of traditional Istrian architecture, rustic charm and a refined personal style.

The atmosphere is enhanced by natural stone and hand-fired antique brick walls, solid wooden elements, antique furniture, Austrian chests of drawers, vintage nautical lamps and numerous carefully selected details that give the house its distinctive character and warmth.

The ground floor is designed as a spacious open-plan area combining the kitchen, dining room and living room, together with a guest toilet. The centrepiece of the dining area is a large solid oak dining table, while the space is further enriched with furniture and decorative elements from different periods. A fireplace occupies the heart of the living area, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The first floor is dedicated to the private living quarters. From the upper part of the hallway, there is access to a terrace offering views towards the sea. The floor comprises a master bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, as well as two additional bedrooms and a bathroom. A storage room is conveniently located in the hallway separating the bedrooms.

The outdoor area has been thoughtfully designed as an intimate private garden of approximately 83 m², landscaped with various Mediterranean plants and greenery and equipped with an outdoor shower. The garden also includes provisions for the installation of a swimming pool, offering the opportunity to create a private oasis in the very centre of the town.

The exterior area also includes a separate workspace, as well as a technical room which can additionally be used as a storage room.
