A rare investment opportunity in the heart of Istria with exceptional development potential in tourism, hospitality, and luxury accommodations. This unique property offers ideal conditions for investors looking to realize a high-quality tourism project in one of Croatia's most sought-after regions. The estate already operates a registered campsite with a capacity of 60 accommodation units and has existing utility infrastructure throughout the entire property. These existing conditions provide a significant advantage in obtaining permits for developing a modern glamping resort with mobile homes, luxury tents, eco-cabins, or other innovative accommodation concepts. In addition to the camping potential, the building plot offers the possibility to construct a boutique hotel with approximately 20 to 40 rooms. The project can be complemented by an exclusive spa and wellness area, a restaurant, and an impressive panoramic view of the Adriatic Sea. The property is also excellently suited for developing a luxury resort with private villas and swimming pools, an infinity pool, wellness services, upscale gastronomy, and numerous high-quality facilities that meet the expectations of international guests. With a total area of more than 25 hectares, the property opens up exceptional opportunities for phased development and long-term expansion. The project also offers excellent potential for creating a combined resort concept that unites various accommodation types, gastronomy, wellness services, leisure activities, and adventure experiences into a holistic tourism product. An additional added value is the possibility to build a strong B2B segment focusing on team-building programs, corporate events, seminars, congresses, and incentive trips. One of the greatest strengths of the property is its fully established legal framework. Included in the sale is an active limited liability company in which all relevant tourism and gastronomic activities are already registered. This significantly simplifies future development processes and reduces administrative procedures. Electricity and water supply are already available throughout the entire property, considerably lowering future infrastructure and development costs. The estate offers a panoramic view of the Adriatic, a true rarity in the Istrian hinterland and an increasingly valuable advantage in the luxury tourism market. More than 25 hectares of contiguous land represent an exceptionally rare opportunity in Istria, as large development plots are becoming increasingly scarce. The sale includes approximately 2,500 m² of building land with confirmed zoning permits and more than 2.5 hectares of natural area with existing permits for a campsite and a restaurant. Electricity and water are available along the entire property, and the estate also offers a partial sea view. Currently, an active adventure park is located on the site, which is also part of the sale. The future investor can freely decide whether to continue, transform, or integrate this operation into a broader tourism concept. Registered activities include gastronomic services such as accommodation, preparation and serving of food and beverages, and catering services. Additionally, the offer includes tourist activities in wellness, adventure, nautical, congress, golf, rural, and diving tourism. Adventure activities such as zip-line facilities, high ropes courses, climbing walls, and sports events are also registered, as well as rental of sports and leisure equipment, boat charter services, organization of seminars, conferences, concerts, and team-building programs, and services as a travel agency, passenger transport, and real estate brokerage. The strategic location ensures excellent connectivity within Istria and beyond. The sea and the bay of Rakalj are only about 8 kilometers away, while Barban is reachable in approximately 6 kilometers. Vodnjan is around 10 kilometers away, and the city center of Pula is reachable in about 25 minutes. Pula Airport, with direct connections to the UK, Germany, Austria, and Scandinavian countries, is only about 25 kilometers away. The A9 motorway, known as the Istrian Y, can be reached in about 20 minutes. Labin is approximately 20 kilometers away, Rovinj about 40 kilometers, Rijeka Airport around 80 kilometers, Trieste about 120 kilometers, and Zagreb around 280 kilometers from the property. This exceptional property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a large-scale development project with existing legal foundations, infrastructure, registered business activities, and remarkable development possibilities in one of the fastest-growing tourism destinations in the Mediterranean region.
