A modern villa with a heated swimming pool, located in the peaceful Istrian village of Rapanji, represents a harmonious blend of contemporary architecture, carefully selected materials and authentic Istrian charm. With a living area of 273.27 m and set on a 714 m plot, the villa has been designed to provide comfortable living, relaxation and privacy. Elegant interiors, spacious terraces, a heated swimming pool and thoughtfully landscaped grounds create an atmosphere that combines the comfort of a modern home with the relaxed ambience of Mediterranean living. The villa is furnished with particular attention to detail, while its functional layout ensures comfortable accommodation.
The property was newly built in 2025 and extends over two floors. The interior is characterised by a sense of spaciousness, functionality and a harmonious connection between the living and private areas. The ground floor features a fully equipped kitchen connected to the dining area and living room, forming an open and welcoming space for everyday living and socialising with family and friends. The same floor also includes one bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, an additional guest toilet and a utility room. The upper floor is dedicated to the private sleeping area and comprises three additional bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms have their own bathrooms, providing an extra level of comfort and privacy for residents and guests. The terraces accessible from every bedroom are a particular highlight, offering views of the surrounding greenery and Istrian landscape, with partial sea views.
The outdoor area has been designed as a natural extension of the interior, intended for relaxation, socialising and enjoying the outdoors. At the heart of the landscaped grounds is a private 40 m heated swimming pool, accompanied by a sunbathing area with loungers, a spacious terrace and an outdoor dining area. The pool features a high-quality Eco-Finish surface and professional waterproofing with a thickness of 3 cm, while its edges are finished with solid Istrian granite, adding an elegant touch and blending harmoniously with the natural surroundings of Istria.
The property also features an outdoor summer kitchen made of natural stone, ideal for preparing meals outdoors and enjoying relaxed gatherings during the warmer months. The grounds are enhanced by Mediterranean plants, including olive trees, lavender and rosemary, along with decorative planting that creates a pleasant and natural atmosphere. Preparations have also been made for the installation of an outdoor sauna, offering the potential for an additional private wellness area. An automatic irrigation system, together with lighting for the pool and garden, simplifies maintenance and creates a special atmosphere in the evening. The terraces are paved with solid natural Istrian stone, emphasising the property's authentic character. The entire plot is fully fenced, while a landscaped hedge provides additional privacy and a sense of seclusion.
Particular attention has been paid to construction quality, functionality and year-round living comfort. The villa is equipped with underfloor heating powered by a heat pump, as well as an air-conditioning system with fan coil units, ensuring a comfortable indoor climate. Aluminium windows and doors with insect screens are installed throughout the house. The 10 cm thick façade, enhanced with ceramic stone details, combines a contemporary appearance with the warmth of traditional Istrian architecture. Additional convenience is provided by a water-softening system, which reduces water hardness and helps protect plumbing installations and household appliances from limescale build-up. The property offers wireless internet access, and rotating surveillance cameras have been installed around the grounds. Access to the property is secured by an electrically operated gate with remote control, while parking is available in front of the house.
The villa is located in Rapanji, a peaceful Istrian village offering privacy, a relaxed pace of life and close contact with nature. Its location allows residents to enjoy an authentic Istrian setting while remaining well connected to coastal destinations, towns and the many attractions that Istria has to offer. Svetvinčenat, a historic Istrian town known for Morosini-Grimani Castle, its picturesque main square and a rich calendar of cultural and gastronomic events, is approximately a five-minute drive away. Throughout the year, the town hosts various events celebrating local traditions, gastronomy, flowers, wine and Istrian heritage.
Food lovers can explore numerous traditional Istrian taverns and restaurants known for homemade pasta, including fuži and pljukanci, truffle dishes, Istrian prosciutto, sheep's cheese and other specialities prepared with locally sourced ingredients. The beaches along Istria's southwestern coast, including Fažana, Peroj and Barbariga, are approximately 20 to 25 minutes away by car, while Pula and Rovinj can be reached in around 30 to 40 minutes. Access to the motorway provides convenient connections to other parts of Istria and the rest of Croatia.
This villa is a thoughtfully designed property for buyers seeking a spacious, modern home with high-quality equipment, a swimming pool, landscaped grounds and a high level of privacy. The combination of natural materials, contemporary technical features and a peaceful location in inland Istria makes it an attractive choice for private use, holidays with family and friends or potential tourist rentals, depending on the future owner's needs and plans.
