Immaculate villa, Banne, Opicina

In the Banne locality above Opicina, on Trieste's Karst plateau, a 255 sqm detached villa built in 2006 and kept in as-new condition — one of the greenest, quietest pockets of the plateau, a few minutes from the centre.

A well-tended private garden with an outdoor patio wraps around the house, which runs over three levels of bright, generous rooms. The adjoining doline belongs to the property too: a private stretch of woodland reached straight from the garden, a secluded corner of nature.

Ground floor: a separate kitchen, a living room with a majolica stove and wide windows onto the green, a room that works as a study, and a bathroom with window. The upper floor holds the sleeping quarters — the second bedroom, a bathroom, and the master bedroom opening onto the terrace. Downstairs, a roomy taverna with two rooms (pre-fitted for a second kitchen and a wood stove/boiler), a third bathroom with laundry area, and a storeroom.

A large independent garage with an automatic up-and-over door rounds things off. Heating is independent; the property is sold partially furnished.
