Villa Žižanj is an extraordinary 11.7-acre private island estate that redefines the Mediterranean "Robinson Crusoe" lifestyle with contemporary luxury. Located on an entirely uninhabited island in the Zadar archipelago, this property is a rare "double-asset"—a sophisticated residential retreat and a high-yielding, fully organic olive oil business. Surrounded by the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic, the estate offers total seclusion and a pollution-free environment, making it one of the most unique and sustainable offerings currently available in Croatia.
Property Details
The estate features two distinct modern stone villas designed to blend seamlessly into the rugged Dalmatian landscape, offering a total of 280 square meters of living space.
Villa A: A two-bedroom, one-bathroom residence with a large open-concept living area and a designer kitchen.
Villa B: A more expansive three-bedroom, three-bathroom home with a spacious living and dining area.
Architecture: Both homes feature traditional stone exteriors combined with floor-to-ceiling glass and modern interior finishes, including floor heating for year-round comfort.
The Basement: A massive 300-square-meter underground facility serves as the operational heart of the property, housing the olive mill and professional-grade processing equipment.
Land and Water
The property is a lush green oasis in the blue Adriatic, dominated by an olive grove of 665 trees planted in 2006. This orchard produces award-winning, gold-medal extra virgin olive oil in a certified organic process.
Waterfront: The estate boasts 580 meters of private coastline, featuring two custom-built piers for yacht access and a 10×4 meter infinity pool that overlooks the sea.
Utilities: Totally self-sufficient, the island utilizes a high-capacity desalinator (7,000 liters/day), a 200,000-liter water tank, and solar panels for clean energy production.
Access and Utilities
Reaching this private paradise involves a scenic 20-minute boat ride from Biograd na Moru, which is easily accessible from Zadar International Airport. The sale is truly turn-key and includes all high-end furniture, curated artwork, three private boats, a tractor, and a modern olive oil press machine. The infrastructure is built to support both a luxury lifestyle and a professional agricultural operation without any compromise in comfort.
Lifestyle and Value
Life at Villa Žižanj is defined by the rhythm of the sea and the harvest. It is a place where you can spend the morning harvesting organic olives and the afternoon snorkeling in a private marine sanctuary. Whether utilized as a secluded family compound, a boutique eco-resort, or a productive agricultural investment, the property offers a level of privacy and environmental purity that is increasingly rare. With no neighbors and no public roads, it is a world unto itself in the heart of the Mediterranean.
