Ranch Visoka - L'évasion ultime

How did our story start?

Brač is one of the most beautiful Croatian islands. It is known for its stonemasonry and has been inhabited by people who have lived off agriculture and fishing since ancient times. Brač is an island of stone; every stone has its own history.

My ancestors, known for their dedication to agriculture, cultivated olives, cherries, and grapes. My family and I decided to continue the tradition with the same enthusiasm. My father had a vision to bring this forgotten place back to life. We renovated the entire property by hand, rebuilding the old ruined houses from the ground up, tidying up the land, and planting olive and fruit trees. Something was still missing, so we brought a few friendly animals—sheep, goats, and chickens—to make our place livelier and more inviting!

Things began to fall into place. What was once a forgotten piece of land became a peaceful retreat in untouched nature—a self-sustaining property where rainwater is collected and electricity is generated from solar panels. You'll enjoy food prepared in nature over oak wood and an open fire—simple yet unforgettable. Fresh, clean air and the peaceful rhythm of nature create an experience that is hard to forget.

We’re thrilled to invite others to experience this space. Escape the hustle and bustle of city life with us. Everyone is welcome to experience Ranch Visoka.

House details

This romantic country house is made of natural stone and built in a traditional style. It features spectacular panoramic views of the sea and the mountains, especially from the private pool, which is beautifully illuminated at night. The property includes an outdoor shower and an outdoor kitchen with a grill area, all set within a spacious 10,000 m² private estate.

The holiday home is easily accessible by car, although the final part of the journey follows a gravel road. Despite its romantic and secluded setting, you won't feel completely isolated. I live nearby and can be reached by phone to help with any questions or concerns you might have.
