In the Heart of Peaceful Rakalj – A Property Full of Tradition and Future Potential In the heart of tranquil Rakalj, in an elevated position with views of lush greenery, lies this unique property that embodies the spirit of tradition while offering great potential for future development. Situated on the main parcel is a house of approximately 100 m², featuring a charming stone terrace at the entrance, with a table and bench made from authentic Istrian “grota” stone. The ground floor includes a hallway, kitchen, living room, bathroom, and separate toilet. The upper floor offers three bedrooms, along with a spacious high attic ready to be converted into additional living space. The house has been renovated approximately 15 years ago, including the roof, electrical and plumbing installations, and reinforced concrete flooring between levels. Adjacent to the house is a traditional konoba (cellar) of 45 m², which was once used for storing wine, olive oil, and other local delicacies. With some imagination and renovation, it can easily be transformed into an authentic tasting room – a warm and welcoming place for gatherings and enjoyment. A highlight of the property is the preserved stone barn with a footprint of 110 m². Already physically separated by a wrought iron gate, it adds privacy and enhances the traditional charm of the courtyard. The barn features a new roof and sits on 560 m² of building land, offering full privacy, scenic views, and enough space for a pool. The entire parcel is enclosed by a traditional dry-stone wall and reflects the spirit of Istria.
