A villa to build above the gulf, Strada Costiera

A single-storey house above the Gulf of Trieste that, for now, exists on paper: the project is there, and it has already passed the hardest test on this coast, the landscape approval. What you buy is the land, 1,545 m² surveyed below the village of Santa Croce, at €650,000 with the project; building the house costs, by our estimate, about €800,000 all included. The price on this page, €1,450,000, is the sum of the two: a reckoning for anyone who wants to know what it takes to get to the keys, not a quote.

The villa is set into a terrace about 50 metres above the sea, under a lawn roof level with the terrace above. On one floor, about 120 m² gross: a 39 m² living room opening onto the gulf through a long glazed front, the kitchen, two bedrooms, a 7 m² bathroom and a smaller second one. Outside, the Aurisina stone terrace with its pergola, a pool five metres by two and a half and, next to the road, two parking spaces. The project specifies a steel structure, external insulation, a heat pump and photovoltaic panels, and it rebuilds the dry-stone walls.
