Property in Svetvinčenat and Barbariga
Svetvinčenat and the Barbariga area offer what the narrower coast cannot: spacious plots, stone houses with history and village quiet in the heart of Istria, with the sea still around twenty minutes away by car. This is the region for buyers looking for space, not crowds.
Why Svetvinčenat and Barbariga
Larger plots, lower prices per square meter than coastal locations, and authentic Istrian villages with a church, a square and a real community, not a tourist backdrop. Sought after by buyers who want a second home with room for a garden, a vineyard or horses, and by those looking for a stone renovation project with history.
What we offer
Example from our listings: two houses in one in Svetvinčenat, Režanci, 245 m² with a balcony, six rooms, with a former 1,200 m² vineyard, €395,000. Properties like this, larger and with history, are characteristic of this area. See also our houses for sale and land for sale pages for broader context.
Prices, roughly
Stone houses for renovation are considerably more affordable per square meter than closer to the coast, precisely because the distance from the sea is greater.
Who this area is for
Buyers who want space, not proximity to the beach. Investors looking for larger estates with long-term potential. Less suited to buyers whose priority is everyday proximity to the sea.
