LIKA – 40,000 m² fenced estate with 11 renovated houses
Boutique Rural Resort • Eco-Lodge • Retreat Center • Exclusive Private Estate
An extremely rare opportunity for investors in a boutique rural resort is the possibility of purchasing an estate in the very heart of Lika.
For sale is a fully fenced estate of 40,000 m² with a total of 11 houses, all renovated and decorated in the same, recognizable, indigenous and artistic style. The estate functions as an independent, self-contained entity with a high degree of privacy and controlled access.
The estate has one main house, designed as a central residential facility, and a large common house with an equipped kitchen and dining room intended for gathering larger groups, retreats, workshops or shared meals. The other houses are designed as guest units: each is designed with two bedrooms, each room has its own bathroom, without sharing sanitary facilities. The existing concept provides a minimum of 22 en-suite rooms, with a capacity of approximately 22–44 people, which is an ideal format for a boutique rural resort, eco-lodge or retreat in Lika.
The special value of the complex is its technical solutions and choice of materials: all houses have wall heating, which is a rarity in such rural complexes, and reed insulation has been used, which naturally and ecologically keeps the interiors warm in winter and cool in summer. Oak floors and wooden beams have been installed in all houses, which gives warmth to the space and further emphasizes the authenticity of the construction. In combination with wood, stone and carefully designed joinery, a space of exceptional comfort is created, with a clear artistic and handmade touch. The entire property is fenced, which ensures a high level of privacy, security and a feeling of “your own world”.
Location-wise, the property is excellently positioned between the sea and national parks, with very good connections to the A1 motorway. The Gornja Ploča exit is about 17 km away (about a 15-minute drive), the city of Zadar about 89 km (about 1 hour and 10 minutes), Zadar Airport (ZAD) about 97 km (about 1 hour and 10–15 minutes), Plitvice Lakes about 48–50 km (40–45 minutes), the sea near Karlobag via Gospić about 88–90 km (about 1 hour and 25 minutes), Zagreb about 184 km (about 2 hours and 30 minutes), and Split about 200 km (about 3 hours). A foreign guest can land in Zadar, get to the estate in about an hour, and on the same day it is possible to organize a trip to Plitvice or to the sea.
Compared to classic “country houses”, this estate stands out significantly: all the houses have already been renovated, there is no initial large construction investment, they are stylistically uniform and immediately ready to go on the market under one brand. Wall heating and reed insulation naturally fit into the "eco", "wellbeing" and "slow living" story without additional modifications, and the area of 4 ha in one piece, completely fenced, allows for further development of the content—from glamping and outdoor wellness, through an equestrian program and children's areas, to gardens and self-sustaining agricultural units—all without violating privacy or ambience.
The possibilities are numerous: a boutique rural resort that sells silence, nature and authentic construction; a wellness, yoga or corporate retreat with a focus on isolation and peace; an artists' or film residence thanks to a strong visual and artistic identity; a private family estate for one large family or several related families; a combination of owner's residence and tourist rental; as well as the gradual expansion of capacity with the addition of several designer units (glamping, spa, stables for horses) to the already existing 40,000 m².
This is a property that is extremely rare on the Croatian market in terms of concept, scope and level of development—a finished, functional rural complex with a clear identity, in a location from which it is possible to reach the sea and the national park, as well as the international airport, in 1–1.5 hours.
