Casa unifamiliar Barušići, Malinska

A Refined Stone Villa with Sea and Mountain Views

Timeless Mediterranean Architecture in Barušići, Krk Island

Set on a 798 m² private plot in the tranquil village of Barušići, this exceptional stone villa embodies a refined Mediterranean architectural style, carefully adapted to its location on Krk Island. The property enjoys expansive open views across the Adriatic Sea and toward the mountains above Opatija, offering a rare combination of island serenity and dramatic natural scenery.

With a total living area of 344.30 m², the villa is conceived as a contemporary Mediterranean residence rooted in proportion, material authenticity, and architectural restraint. Natural stone façades, terracotta roof tiles, and calm, balanced volumes reflect the traditional building language of the northern Adriatic while supporting modern standards of comfort and living.

The architecture is composed of multiple stone-clad volumes arranged in a stepped configuration, creating a clear hierarchy and the impression of a home that has evolved organically over time. Traditional hipped roofs reinforce the Mediterranean character, while carefully positioned openings frame sea views and long-distance vistas toward the coastal mountains. A tall arched opening on the main façade serves as a subtle architectural focal point, allowing generous natural light to enter the interior spaces.

At the heart of the property lies a private courtyard with a swimming pool, designed as a protected outdoor living area rather than a formal feature. From the pool terrace, the villa opens toward the sea, while the surrounding stone walls and terraces provide privacy and shelter. Shaded outdoor areas and a dedicated pool pavilion create ideal conditions for outdoor dining, relaxation, and entertaining throughout the warmer months.

The roofscape reflects a disciplined and authentic Mediterranean approach. Consistent roof pitches, clean intersections, and traditional clay tiles form a calm and timeless composition, contributing to the villa’s architectural coherence and long-term value.

The surrounding landscape draws inspiration from the natural and agricultural character of Krk Island. Olive trees, Mediterranean shrubs, and native planting are arranged with natural spacing, allowing the villa to sit harmoniously within its environment. Low dry-stone walls define the boundaries of the plot while preserving openness toward the sea and mountain views. Arrival and parking areas are discreetly integrated to ensure that vehicles do not dominate the architectural experience.

The plot is fully serviced with a water connection already available on site, providing a solid and practical foundation for construction and long-term use.

Professional site engineering and construction supervision are available, ensuring that the project is executed to a high technical standard, with careful oversight throughout all phases of construction.

A detailed construction schedule and comprehensive project budget are available upon request, offering full transparency and clarity for future owners and investors.

Execution in accordance with FIDIC standards is optionally available, providing an internationally recognized contractual and project management framework for clients who require structured risk allocation, cost control, and quality assurance.

All interior and exterior finishes are foreseen to be executed to the highest standard, utilizing premium Italian suppliers known for their craftsmanship, material quality, and timeless design—ensuring durability, refined aesthetics, and long-term value throughout the villa.

Construction of the villa is foreseen to commence on 15 March 2026, presenting an opportunity to acquire the property at an early stage, with a clearly defined architectural vision, established infrastructure, and a structured development plan already in place.

Designed for those who appreciate understated luxury, authenticity, and a strong connection to place, this villa represents a timeless Mediterranean retreat—crafted specifically for its Croatian island setting and intended to be enjoyed for generations.
