Full Description
Located in the old part of the village, just a few minutes from Orebic, is a large stone house in need of renovation. South-facing, it features a courtyard, an additional garden, and a top-floor terrace offering an intimate, fully protected view of the sea and the old town of Korcula. The house is reached on foot via a quiet stone alley, free from traffic and noise. It is enclosed by stone walls on two sides, with entrances from both.
This spacious property spans four levels. The ground floor comprises a kitchen, two rooms, a bathroom, a storage room, and a study. Wooden stairs lead to the first floor, which offers three rooms. The second floor features two rooms with access to a sea-view terrace, while the attic provides additional space with exposed wooden beams and two windows. The interior is bright, characterized by large windows with arched niches, wooden floors, wooden joinery with shutters, and wooden ceilings all of which can be preserved to maintain its authentic Mediterranean feel. The house is functional, connected to electricity and water, equipped with air conditioning, and currently used by the owners as a summer holiday home.
The grounds are designed for outdoor living and entertaining, with the courtyard featuring orange and lemon trees alongside grapevines. Stone steps lead through lush greenery to an additional garden that belongs to the property. An outdoor fireplace stands in front of the house, while a wrought-iron gate and railing add distinctive character. Drainage is handled by two septic tanks, and the property also includes a water cistern of approximately 70 m³.
Situated in a village with a local shop and restaurant, the house overlooks the old town of Korcula, with all essential amenities in Orebic just minutes away. Parking is public, shared with neighboring residents, and access is via a pedestrian alley ideal for those seeking peace without traffic at their doorstep. Key highlights include the property’s generous size, southern orientation, courtyard, additional garden, and the exceptional top-floor terrace with its calm, fully private sea view.
The house requires renovation, similar to most neighboring properties currently being restored for summer use. With care and investment, it can be brought back to its original charm, allowing the buyer to customize it to their own taste and transform it into a true Mediterranean retreat.
