Enjoy a Peaceful and Quiet Life in Untouched Nature
Take a ten-minute car ride from the town of Krk through a forest road, and you’ll get to the Villa Nautica, a hidden house quietly nested in the hill, surrounded by the forest and the olive groves. Yes, you read that right - nested in - three sides of the house have been dug into the hill, blending seamlessly into the environment and providing unmatched isolation. The south side of the house features a glass wall, inviting you to step out onto the terrace and enjoy the greenery, the romantic views of the town, as well as the crystal-clear sea and nearby islands.
What’s more, you can also indulge in the views while taking a dip in your very own private pool.
The estate extends over impressive 30 thousand square meters with an olive grove of 850 trees. If you want to experience the local way of life in its truest form, this place gives you a unique opportunity to take on olive picking in the fall and make your own olive oil! This particular grove can yield a year-long supply of olive oil. You don’t even have to own any oil production equipment - you can simply take the harvested olives to one of the many olive oil mills in the vicinity and have them produce the oil for you.
A Subtle Play Between Tradition and Contemporary Design
The house was designed by Croatian architect Branka Juras, whose idea centered around the abundance of nature in this spot and blending the house seamlessly into its surroundings. The interior is a continuation of that idea - the entire house area of 130 square meters reflects a simple and contemporary design. Using materials such as stone and concrete gives the entire interior a feeling of seclusion, security, and utmost privacy. At the same time, its simplicity focuses your attention on the beautiful nature outside, as the two bedrooms and the living area have a direct view of the pristine nature.
Next to a unique approach to the design, particular attention was paid to functionality and sustainability. The house is equipped with a modern kitchen, and both an indoor and outdoor bathroom. It is also built to have the highest level of sustainability. Solar panels are installed on the roof (which also happens to be the parking spot!) and generate electricity for the whole house. There is also a control system for maintaining the temperature and air humidity and a depurator unit regulating air purification. With all that, the house is entirely self-sufficient and has earned an A rating for energy efficiency.
