Furthermore, the estate includes a small olive mill covering an area of 100 m2, which provides olive processing services for olive growers throughout the Benkovac region.

Within this part of the estate, there is also a garage with an office of approximately 120 m2, a large laundry facility for the accommodation units on the estate, a fully furnished apartment of 47 m2, as well as a fully furnished large prefabricated house of 56 m2.
