In the heart of the picturesque Istrian village of Butkovići, where peace and quiet still have meaning, lies this beautiful stone house, authentic and dignified like the region from which it originates. Just a twenty-minute drive from Pula, yet far enough to forget the hustle and bustle and noise, this house offers the most valuable things – space, privacy and a sense of home. On a plot of m², behind stone walls and tall green hedges, lies a world where everything flows more slowly. The first thing that greets you is a spacious courtyard filled with the scents of Mediterranean herbs, where there is also a 50 m² swimming pool – a place for refreshment and relaxation in the summer months. The courtyard is so large that you will feel like you are alone, although all the amenities are within easy reach. The house is built of real Istrian stone, carefully grouted inside and out, with high-quality larch woodwork that fits perfectly into the traditional style of the home. Upon entering the house, you feel the warmth – not only because of the thick stone walls that maintain a comfortable temperature, but also because of the carefully selected interior details that exude simplicity and elegance. This is not a house decorated for a catalog, but a place that invites you to live in it. The ground floor offers a spacious kitchen with a dining room, a living room and a bathroom – each room has a direct exit to the courtyard, which gives a feeling of connection with nature. On the first floor, which is reached by an internal staircase, there is a gallery, two spacious bedrooms and another, large bathroom. All rooms overlook the garden and are filled with natural light. The floors have been carefully chosen – terracotta-colored tiles on the ground floor and oak parquet on the first floor – a combination of tradition and comfort. In the courtyard there are two covered terraces, ideal for summer dinners, family gatherings or simply quiet moments with a book and a glass of wine. One terrace also hides a large stone fireplace – an additional invitation to stay outside all year round. In front of the entrance to the house there is another smaller terrace, perfect for morning coffee while the world slowly wakes up. The house has two entrances – the main one, with parking for several cars, and a separate entrance to the house. The entire property is fenced and offers complete privacy, and the neighborhood is neat, quiet and safe. Central gas heating, air conditioning, quality construction and decoration allow for year-round living, not just seasonally. This house is not just real estate – it is a home. A place that tells a story, where everyday life turns into pleasure, and nature and architecture merge in perfect harmony. If you are looking for more than walls and squares – if you are looking for atmosphere, peace, authenticity – then you may have just found what you are looking for.
