Old stone house in the vicinity of Oprtalj

The old estate above the valley of the river Mirna between Motuvun and Oprtalj offers one of the best views that can be found in Istria. The property to which the recently paved road leads consists of a series of old stone houses built on land of more than 2,000 m2.

 

The property consists of a house located on building land (approx. 705 m2) and land located outside the construction area (approx. 1,375 m2). The house is located on the upper, northern part of the land and the southern part of the land descends all the way to the paved road. Since the house is located on a relatively steep slope, a permanent view of the surrounding hills and Motovun is guaranteed. The external dimensions of the house are approximately 20 x 6 m.The stone house, which probably dates to the second half of the nineteenth century, was structurally renovated at the beginning of the century, but the adaptation was not professionally carried out, so the roof gave way due to heavy rains and the house is now half-destroyed.
