The House

For decades, this was the kind of house people simply dropped by without calling ahead. It was a house filled with singing and celebration, where new generations were born and raised and where laughter and affection were part of everyday life. More people were fed here than the table could seat, people stayed longer than they meant to, and every generation left its mark on these walls. The summers here were long, and the house was always full.

There were plans, too. The house was meant to be restored. The family talked about it for years, always with great affection, and everyone saw a place for themselves in that vision. Those who were most committed to those plans have sadly since passed away. The younger members of the family have built their lives outside Croatia, and restoring a house of this size in a protected historic district is not something one person can take on alone, financially or logistically.

When that became clear to everyone, the family made the decision together, without conflict. It felt right to pass the house on to someone who will restore it rather than leave it standing empty and slowly deteriorating.

We are handing it over with complete documentation, nothing concealed and a sincere hope that someone will be happy here again. Now it is ready to become part of someone else’s story.

VISUALISATION

A family vision

The family had plans to renovate the house, but agreement was never reached, so the decision was made to sell. The visualisation shows what the family had in mind and what the property could become, either a home or boutique accommodation.

This is a design proposal, not the existing condition.

The house is currently habitable and functional. The electricity, water supply, drainage and sanitary facilities are all operational, and it was lived in until recently. Anyone wishing to move in could do so right away.

We are handing it over just as it is: in working order, empty and with the paperwork complete. The photographs have not been retouched. The house dates from 1968, and its age is plainly visible; nothing has been cosmetically disguised.

To realise the full potential of this address, whether as a home, boutique accommodation or holiday rental, a full renovation is required.

Potential

Tourism potential

1.07 M tourist arrivals Split, 2025

53.5% of overnight stays in private accommodation The largest single accommodation segment
69.8% of overnight stays from June to September A strong peak season

A location with proven tourism demand

Plinarska 71 is located in Varoš, in the immediate vicinity of Split’s historic centre, the sea and the city’s best-known attractions. The tourism potential of this property comes not only from the appeal of the location, but also from the consistently high demand for private accommodation in Split.

In 2025 Split recorded more than 1.07 million tourist arrivals and 3.21 million overnight stays. More than half of all overnight stays were in private accommodation, a segment that also continued to grow.

For buyers considering the property as a private holiday home, a boutique holiday rental, or a combination of personal use and holiday letting, it offers substantial development potential, subject to appropriate renovation, categorisation and compliance with applicable legal requirements.
