Croatia, Dalmatia coast, Peljesac - Stone house in nature

In a peaceful village on the Pelješac peninsula, home to just a few families, lies this traditional stone house. Steeped in 180 years of history and authentic Mediterranean charm, the property was thoroughly and lovingly renovated in 2017 to create a warm, inviting home.

 

Right at the entrance, solid larch wood doors framed by original stone welcome you into the ground floor. The heart of the home features a spacious kitchen and living room area, where a wood-burning stove provides a cozy atmosphere during the cooler months. The ground floor also includes a bathroom, a study, and a practical storage room, all enhanced by carefully considered details that give the space its distinct character.

 

An internal staircase leads to the first floor, which accommodates three bedrooms and a shared bathroom. Designed with exceptional flexibility, the bedrooms are separated by wooden partition walls, allowing the new owner complete freedom to reconfigure the layout as desired. Hidden pull-down stairs lead to the attic an open, airy space beneath the roof showcasing exposed oak beams and authentic Italian roof tiles. This unfinished attic space offers a perfect opportunity to create an art studio, gallery, or additional sleeping quarters.

 

In front of the house lies a large terrace shaded by lush Mediterranean foliage. The garden features a traditional stone cistern (water tank), which is still actively used for watering the plants. The gentle slope in front of the terrace has been leveled and filled with soft soil, creating an ideal foundation for easily installing a private swimming pool without the need for heavy rock excavation. For those seeking even more space and privacy, there is also an option to purchase an additional plot of land directly behind the house.

 

Located close to the famous village of Potomje and the renowned Dingač slopes, this property is a perfect sanctuary for anyone dreaming of their own peaceful retreat on Pelješac whether as an exclusive family residence or a holiday home that captivates at first sight.
