Property description
A historic stone estate on the southern side of Hvar, preserving a story that spans more than three centuries.
At its heart stands a stone defensive tower dating back to 1660, which has remained in the ownership of the same aristocratic family since its construction.
The complex of traditional stone houses, surrounded by original stone walls and Mediterranean gardens, has retained its authentic architectural details and the spirit of bygone eras.
The main house, a separate guest accommodation, a swimming pool, and terraces overlooking the sea form a harmonious setting that combines historic charm with modern living. The estate represents a rare opportunity to acquire a property of exceptional historical and atmospheric value.
The centerpiece of the estate is the historic stone tower, converted into the main residence, offering a total of 120 m2 of interior space spread over three floors, along with approximately 40 m2 of covered terraces.
The living accommodation comprises two bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, a kitchen, and a living room with access to the west-facing terrace. Additional accommodation is provided by a separate guesthouse with a mezzanine level. Outdoor amenities include a fully enclosed courtyard, terraces arranged across three levels, a swimming pool, an outdoor kitchen, and an al fresco dining area.
The Mediterranean gardens, enriched with palm trees and lemon, almond, and chestnut trees, further enhance the estate’s authentic character. The property also includes a separate stone ruin of approximately 40 m2, located around 25 meters from the main complex, offering the potential to create additional guest accommodation.
Water and electricity connections are available in the courtyard, allowing the former kitchen annex to be repurposed as a winter garden or additional living space.
