A small Croatian island in the Malostonski Bay is up for sale, Morski.hr reports. 

The uninhabited island of Veliki Školj spans 21,677 square meters in the Malostonski Bay near Dubrovnik. The agency facilitating the sale highlights its suitability for glamping, naturism, weddings, private parties, team building, oyster tastings, and more.

The island features a pine forest and a stone house built before 1968. Additionally, it has its own potable water source. 

While any new construction is prohibited on the island, registering a Family Farm (OPG) allows the possibility of building another small stone house and planting olive groves or other crops.

The price for acquisition is three million and 250 thousand euros.

When considering the purchase of an island in Croatia, it’s important to note that on most of them, any construction is forbidden due to their classification as wooded or agricultural land. The only exception is the establishment of a business; however, only agricultural facilities such as cellars, fruit and vegetable storage, greenhouses, barns, etc., are allowed.

Furthermore, if you are buying an island for your own privacy, it’s essential to be aware that you cannot prohibit others from swimming on the island’s beaches, accessing the shore, or navigating near the island, reports Morski.hr.
