Single-family detached house Motovun, Motovun

In the oldest part of Motovun, among the stone streets that remember centuries, there is a property that is almost impossible to describe in the classic real estate dictionary. Because this is not just a charming stone house or another authentic Istrian story. This is a private world where architecture, history, art and life meet. The house from the 18th century covers approximately 150 m² on three floors, following the cascading logic of the Motovun hill. The entrance is on the highest level, and descending through the interior gradually reveals layers of space, light and texture - hidden passages, vaults, terraces and a garden that are almost impossible to guess from the outside. Each floor is conceived as a separate unit with a room, bathroom, kitchen and its own entrance. The upper two floors have terraces, while the lowest one opens directly into the garden. All levels are simultaneously connected by an internal staircase, which allows the house to function as three completely independent units or as one impressive home. And then the view. One of those that stop a person in the middle of a sentence. From the terraces and the garden you can see Kaldir, Brkač and Vižinada and the Istrian hills covered with vineyards, olive groves and forests. A view that makes you understand why people come to Motovun once - and never forget it. During the thorough renovation, the interior was returned to the original spatial logic from the 18th century. Partition walls built later were removed, old passageways and vaults were reopened, and the original hearth, house shrine, brick closets and stone stern were discovered. These elements are not only preserved as historical decorations. With full respect for their original function, they have become an integral part of modern life and small works of art that speak of time, craft and an exceptional sense of beauty. The renovation was carried out seriously and without compromise, with an understanding of traditional construction. The house has double walls, while each floor is equipped with air conditioning and a historically valuable wood stove that gives the space additional warmth and character. Nothing in this interior is solved generically. Even the outdoor air conditioning units are hidden behind the old cabinet doors and the iron rings of the former wooden barrels, transformed into sculptural elements. What would be just a technical detail elsewhere becomes part of the story here. The history of art, architecture and superb craftsmanship can be felt in every corner. At a time when interiors increasingly resemble each other - sterile, impersonal and shaped in endless shades of gray and beige - this house seems almost defiantly alive. It is rich in textures, colors, old materials, art objects and carefully selected details. It bypasses trends and has its own, completely authentic identity. Each object in it has its place and its own story. However, despite this visual wealth, the space does not burden. It does not seek attention by force. It embraces you with warmth, atmosphere and the rare feeling that you are in a home that has a soul. Two units have been achieving very successful results in tourist rentals for years, with guests who regularly return precisely because of the uniqueness of the space and atmosphere that is hard to find elsewhere. Here, not only accommodation is rented, but the complete experience of staying in historic Motovun. The property is sold fully furnished, exactly as it is - ready for the future owner to move in and immediately start living, enjoying or continuing a successful tourist rental without additional preparations. And maybe both. Thanks to three independent units, the house offers different possibilities of living and use. It can be a family nest, an investment, a place for an occasional getaway or a joint home of friends, brothers, sisters or multi-generational families who want to share an exceptional property while maintaining their own privacy. Close enough to pour sugar on each other across the terrace, and far enough apart that everyone has their own peace, their own view and their own little world. This is not a house for someone who is only looking for square footage. This is a property for the person who understands atmosphere, recognizes the value of authenticity and wants a space with depth, character and emotion. Maison - because home is not just a place, but a way of life.
