Positioned among vineyards, ancient olive groves, and the protected natural beauty of Western Istria, this extraordinary stone villa presents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly distinctive luxury property in one of Croatia's most desirable coastal regions. Located in the exclusive residential area of Babići near Umag and only 2 kilometres from the Adriatic coastline and elegant beaches, this private estate embodies the essence of contemporary Mediterranean living while preserving the architectural soul of traditional Istria.
