Description
Smokvica, the interior of the island of Korčula. A spacious house of 305 m² in the centre of the village, with a garden of about 1 000 m². Next to the house a woodshed and a summer kitchen in the form of a tavern. Blato, the nearest larger settlement, is 10 km away; the island has daily ferry connections with the mainland.
Setting and view
The house stands at the very top of the village, on the edge of the woods, with a panoramic view of the islands of Lastovo and Mljet — in clear weather you can even make out the Italian coast. The sea and the beach in Brna bay are about 4 km away.
Ground floor — 108 m²
Entrance 19.20 m², living room 36.60 m², kitchen 3.65 m², two bedrooms (11.80 and 5.80 m²), corridor 8.25 m², pantry 8.60 m², woodshed 4.25 m² and a water tank of 17.10 m² — on an island a private tank is not a relic but a real safeguard at the height of the season.
First floor — 94 m² plus terrace
Kitchen 17.10 m², living room 24.05 m², bathroom 8.60 m², stairs 7.10 m², storage with woodshed 37.90 m² and a 27.20 m² terrace. With a separate kitchen and living room, this level can be turned into a self-contained flat.
Attic — 34.80 m² plus a 24.25 m² terrace
Living space ready to be finished, with its own separate entrance and its own 24.25 m² terrace. In 2020 electricity and water were brought up to this level and tiling was started; the work was halted during the pandemic. The floor lends itself to a self-contained flat. Spare floor area you do not have to touch straight away.
Outbuildings
A utility room of 17.97 m² as storage or a workshop, a woodshed and a summer kitchen (tavern) beside the house — where most of the summer is spent on Korčula. Both free-standing outbuildings on the plot measure about 10 m² each.
Condition and services
Built in 1980, continuously lived in and maintained — it has never been used as a holiday house only. The electrical installation was replaced in 2000 and a new roof was laid in 2020. Electricity: an 11 kW mains connection, fully functional. Water: mains water supply plus a private tank of about 40 m³ — the system lets you draw either mains or tank water as needed. Drainage: the village has no mains sewerage; the house has a septic tank, which works without any trouble.
Garden
About 1 000 m² of your own land in the centre of the village. Smokvica lives from vines and olives — this is ground where such planting makes sense, rather than a lawn to mow.
Option to extend
Next to the house there is a separate 500 m² plot with a native stone cottage of about 15 m², currently being converted — priced at 75 000 €, in a transaction independent of the house.
Legal status
Clear title.
Price and costs
520 000 € for the house with the garden, which is 1 705 € per square metre. The purchase of a resale property in Croatia is subject to a 3% tax on the transaction value. Viewings after signing a brokerage agreement.
Buying as an EU citizen
As an EU citizen you buy in Croatia on the same terms as a Croatian national — no ministry approval required. The transaction needs a Croatian identification number (OIB), which we arrange for you. The path: a preliminary contract with a deposit of around 10%, then the notarial deed and entry in the land register. We handle the whole transaction in your language and work with buyers who cannot be present at every stage.
