PROPERTY IN LUSTICA
Luštica Property Purchase
Two months after my first visit I decided I was definitely going to buy some very old ruined property in Montenegro.
I had no desire to be one of those foreign buyers who want their big houses separate from the local community. I was drawn to the partially abandoned, very old stone villas that were still attached to the newer inhabited part of the villages.
That way I could still be part of the local community. Which is exactly why I bought two partially ruined villas in a village called Zabrdje on the Luštica peninsular in Herceg Novi Municipality.

These ruins were in the very old part of Zabrdje called Mitrovići, which the locals had probably abandoned in the 1950's because of the desire for more modern housing or after the 1979 earthquake.
Most of these very old traditional villas were built hundreds of years ago, long before anyone thought about constructing buildings to withstand earthquakes. The Montenegrins then built themselves more up to date earthquake-proof homes, right next to the old damaged stone villages they had abandoned.

After completing the purchase of these villas I thought the best thing to do was to wait and maybe even a few years, to see if Luštica's infrastructure became more viable, which would make this project less complicated and work much better.
Luštica Peninsula
Luštica has an area of 47 km² and is 13 km long. It is probably one of the loveliest parts of the Montenegrin coast as it still manages to retain the essence of completely unspoiled beauty, simplicity and calm of the way things used to be.
The warm Mediterranean climate gives it a rich vegetation of olive groves, pomegranate and fig trees, with its rocky and sandy shores hosting dozens of beaches and coves. You may see a wild boar, mongoose or jackal and hear a nightingale or scops-owl.

Luštica Bay
I cannot really talk about Luštica without mentioning Luštica Bay as it is the largest tourism investment in the history of Montenegro.
Luštica Bay was founded in 2008 as a joint venture between Orascom Development and government of Montenegro. It is a luxury waterfront development located on the Luštica Peninsula. This project is based on the principle of safe sustainability and environmental integrity.

The company has received an award for the best European development at the Luxury Network International Awards in Dubai. In 2013, the architectural design project Luštica Bay received an award from the American Society of Landscape Architects.
I personally have not spent a lot of time at Luštica Bay yet, so it will be interesting to see how it develops over time as all the different area start to be finished and come to life.
