Villa in Istria. City - Balae

Located in one of the most charming historical areas of western Istria, near the picturesque town of Balais, 15 km from the sea, this modern furnished villa with a swimming pool and sauna represents an exceptional opportunity to become a luxury property owner in a tranquil Mediterranean setting. Combining elegant modern design with the natural beauty of the Eastrian landscape, the villa offers both sophisticated private accommodation and high-quality tourist investment in one of the most attractive regions of the Adriatic.

The historic city of Bale is widely considered one of the hidden gems of the Istrian Peninsula. Set on a soft hill and surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and pristine natural landscapes, this charming stone settlement has retained its authentic medieval character, gradually evolving into a desirable destination for visitors seeking a quieter and more exclusive Istrian experience. The city is located about five kilometers from the Adriatic Sea and pristine coastal zones, known for its crystal clear waters and picturesque natural beauty. An interesting geographical feature of the municipality is that the 45th parallel passes through its southern part, placing the Balais almost exactly in the middle between the equator and the North Pole. This unique position contributes to the pleasant Mediterranean climate of the region, characterized by mild winters, warm sunny summers and approximately 2,400 hours of sunlight per year. With an average annual temperature of about 14 degrees Celsius, the climate offers ideal conditions for year-round living, as well as for tourism activities throughout most of the year. Just a short drive from the historic centre of Balais, this elegant new building is the perfect example of modern luxury housing in Istria. The total area of the building is approximately 241 square meters, of which about 145 square meters are living space. The villa also includes about 59 square meters of terraces designed for outdoor recreation, and a spacious outdoor pool of 37 square meters, which is the center of a landscaped garden.

The first floor of the villa was designed to create a comfortable and functional living environment filled with natural light. At the entrance to the property, residents are met by an entrance hall that leads to an elegantly decorated living room connected to a modern dining room and a fully equipped kitchen. The open layout creates a harmonious living space, ideal for everyday life and for receiving guests. This floor also includes a guest toilet, a small technical room used for household systems, and a special lounge area with sauna offering a relaxing shelter in cooler months.

Internal staircases lead to the upper floor, which is designed as a private sleeping area. This level includes a corridor and two spacious bedrooms, each with its own bathroom for maximum comfort and privacy. Both bedrooms have direct access to a large terrace of approximately 33 square meters, an ideal space for morning coffee, relaxing in the sunshine or quiet evenings overlooking the surrounding greenery.

The outdoor area of the 503 m2 villa has been carefully designed to complement the architecture of the house and provide a complete experience of the Mediterranean lifestyle. The large terrace offers a cozy space for outdoor dining and social gatherings, while the pool area is surrounded by a tan terrace and landscaped with attractive Mediterranean plants creating a peaceful and visually appealing setting.

Modern heating and cooling systems provide year-round comfort throughout the property. The villa is equipped with a heat pump system installed everywhere underfloor heating and a fireplace in the living room, which adds both warmth and atmosphere in cooler seasons. This combination of technologies ensures energy efficiency while maintaining a high level of comfort in each part of the house.

Inside the property there are two private parking spaces, providing convenient and safe parking for residents and guests. The villa is sold fully furnished, which allows the new owner to immediately move or start operating the property as a luxury rental housing without additional investment. The property is owned by a legal entity and the advertised price includes value added tax, which can provide benefits for certain types of investors depending on their business structure.

Due to its exceptional location near the historic city of Balé, its proximity to the Adriatic coast and modern amenities, including a swimming pool and a holiday area, this beautiful villa is an ideal opportunity for buyers looking for a luxury holiday home, a comfortable accommodation for year-round living in Istria, or a profitable investment in the growing tourism market in Croatia.
