Charming Stone House Hvar Island Village Property with Character

Stone House Hvar Island – Charming Village Property with Character and Potential

Tucked into the heart of the delightful village of Vrbanj, this authentic stone house Hvar island offers a rare opportunity to bring new life to a traditional Dalmatian home. Full of character and potential, this two-storey sleeping beauty requires complete renovation but already hints at the charming village retreat it could become.

Constructed in traditional Hvar stone, the house retains attractive original features, including thick stone walls, a rustic flagstone floor on the ground level and several alcoves incorporated into the masonry. Arranged over two floors, with an external entrance providing separate access to the upper level, the configuration offers plenty of scope for creative reimagining as a permanent residence, holiday home or island hideaway.

The property is very much a blank canvas and will require comprehensive renovation, making it particularly appealing to someone looking for a genuine restoration project. Architectural plans for the renovation are available from our offices on request and provide an interesting starting point for exploring what could be achieved.

Vrbanj is one of Hvar’s traditional inland villages, retaining a strong sense of local life while being conveniently positioned for exploring the island. A grocery shop is nearby, while the village also has a café bar and restaurant. Directly opposite is the village balote (bocce) pitch, a traditional gathering place and reminder that this remains a genuine Dalmatian community. A bus stop outside the house goes to Hvar, Jelsa, Stari Grad and also the ferry port.

The historic town of Stari Grad is only a few kilometres away, providing larger supermarkets, shops, restaurants and everyday amenities, together with ferry connections to Split and the Croatian mainland.

There is also the possibility of acquiring a separate plot nearby by separate negotiation. This could potentially provide useful private parking and currently contains a small stone ruin, offering further possibilities for restoration, subject to the necessary permissions.

For someone prepared to take on a rewarding restoration, this stone house Hvar island represents an opportunity to create a highly individual home while enjoying authentic village life on one of Croatia’s most desirable islands.
