Kanfanar, surroundings, authentic farmhouse with a large garden

Istria, Kanfanar area In a peaceful Istrian village near Kanfanar, this authentic stone house offers a rare combination — true privacy and a feeling of space, with practical connections to the rest of Istria. It’s a location for those who want greenery, quiet and “their own world”, without feeling isolated, whether you are looking for a family home, a holiday retreat, or a property that can grow into a serious tourism project. The house offers approx. 200 m² of living space plus an attic that runs the full length of the building, arranged over ground floor and first floor. On the ground floor there is a kitchen, living room, bathroom and storage room, while the first floor provides three spacious bedrooms, with stairs from one bedroom leading up to the attic. The roof is in excellent condition, and the attic gives the option to create additional rooms — a major advantage for anyone looking to expand without losing authenticity. An old stable is connected to the house, offering further possibilities, including the option of adding an additional floor, while other auxiliary buildings on the property — such as a tavern-style space and an old chicken coop — are ideal for conversion into a social area, wellness zone, studio, or something entirely your own. A key value of this property is the land that comes with it. Behind the house are two building plots with a total of 929 m², providing an excellent base for an additional building, a guest house or a swimming pool, while the fenced yard/garden area is 300 m². In addition, there are 2,347 m² of agricultural land — woodland with old oak trees that create natural shade, peace and an atmosphere that is increasingly rare on the market. This part of the estate gives the property a special character and a sense of intimacy, like having your own private park. With its authentic Istrian charm and stone walls around 50 cm thick, the house can become livable with minimal renovation, while still offering huge potential to expand and increase value. It can serve equally well as a year-round home, a holiday house, or a strong foundation for rural tourism, a villa or a smaller boutique concept. If you are looking for an estate with a story, space and options beyond a single idea, this is an opportunity best experienced in person. Contact us for more information and to arrange a viewing.
