Large Estate 90,209 m², Agrotourism Potential, Zastražišće, Hvar

Located on the eastern side of Hvar Island, above the village of Zastražišće, lies a spacious agricultural estate covering a total area of 90,209 m². The land consists of five separate yet connected parcels forming a single unit, positioned directly along the main road connecting Zastražišće and Gdinj. The property is accessed via a direct entrance from the main road.

The entire estate is encircled by a wide circular gravel road, providing easy access to all parts of the land and facilitating agricultural work and organization.

The land is planted with approximately 700 olive trees, along with around thirty fig trees, twenty almond trees, several carob trees, and rows of lavender.
The cultivation is based on traditional methods, and remnants of past viticultural activity are still visible through the presence of old sulphate wells and three large stone cisterns once used for water storage.

The property includes three traditional stone huts and one “bunja” (dry-stone shelter), originally used as shelter and tool storage, now offering potential for preservation and incorporation into an authentic agrotourism experience.

With its size, location, and existing features, the land offers numerous possibilities – from continued agricultural production and olive cultivation to the establishment of a family farm (OPG) or development of agrotourism and complementary activities.
According to current spatial planning regulations and laws, it is possible to build agricultural facilities such as storage buildings, olive oil mills, tasting rooms, drying rooms, and similar structures, as well as to restore the existing traditional buildings while preserving their original architectural character.

The estate is situated in a highly attractive location with panoramic views stretching in all directions – northward towards the Makarska Riviera and the peak of Mt. Biokovo (Sv. Jure), southward to Korčula and Pelješac, eastward to the village of Gdinj, and northwestward to the islands of Brač and Šolta.

Hvar, known for having the most sunny days in Croatia, has long been rooted in agriculture – from olive growing and viticulture to the cultivation of aromatic herbs. The eastern part of the island, especially the area between Zastražišće and Gdinj, is renowned for its traditional rural landscape shaped by dry-stone walls, “bunje,” and olive groves, reflecting a long history of harmonious coexistence with nature.

In recent years, this area has become increasingly attractive to investors and farmers seeking peace, fertile land, and the potential to develop sustainable and authentic projects.
