Triporte, south coast of Korčula, Croatia
Two building plots with sea views on Korčula
EUR 350,000 for both plots
Two adjoining 400 m² plots in a quiet bay on the south coast of Korčula, near Vela Luka, with room for two detached homes. Create a coastal retreat for two households, or explore a small residential development.
An elevated setting with sea views and sunsets over the bay.

Shared private access. A private access road (parcel 12878/1568) runs from the Triporte road along both plots, with car access to each plot, and continues as a footpath down towards the water. The sale includes a 50% share in this parcel; the other half belongs to the owner of the plots in front. At the end of the footpath, steps lead down to the rocks.
Elevated setting with sea views. The plots sit uphill from the shoreline, with views out to sea. One house and one currently undeveloped plot lie between the plots and the shore.
About 25 m from the lower plot, the footpath reaches the steps down to flat sunbathing rocks and clear water.
Where the steps lead
At the bottom of the steps you arrive on a wide, flat rock terrace by the water, shaded by pine trees. A place to spend the afternoon, with clear water for swimming right in front of you.
Building possibilities
An architect's assessment of the potential
An analysis by TIM BOLJE, a licensed architect based in Vela Luka who lives on the island and knows it well, places both plots within the settlement's building area and identifies scope for a detached home on each.
For each 400 m² plot, the analysis outlines:
- A footprint of up to approximately 120 m² under the standard 30% coverage calculation.
- Up to three above-ground floors, with a maximum building height of 8.4 m.
- An indicative gross floor area of approximately 280–320 m² per plot, an architectural estimate including a smaller attic level.
Flat roofs are permitted under Article 57 of the planning rules reviewed in the report, creating scope to explore a roof terrace with sea views, subject to design and permit review. The plan allows up to three dwelling units within a detached single-family building, subject to design and permit review: an option worth exploring for family use or rental. Short-term tourist rentals are subject to separate approval requirements.
Two homes or one villa. The plots can be developed separately, for two households buying together or a small developer. A single villa across both plots is a concept to explore: the architect's report assesses the plots separately, so an architect should confirm whether the parcels can be combined and what could then be permitted.
Location
A coastal setting near Vela Luka
The plots are located in Triporte on the south coast of Korčula, approximately 7 km from Vela Luka. The setting combines proximity to the sea with access to the town's everyday services.
From Split. The most convenient route to Vela Luka. The passenger catamaran from Split harbour to Vela Luka takes about 2 hours; the car ferry about 3 to 3½ hours, depending on the sailing. From Vela Luka, Triporte is a short drive. Flying in? A shuttle bus runs from Split Airport to Split harbour, at about EUR 10 per person.
From Dubrovnik Airport. About 2 to 2½ hours by road to Orebić, a 20-minute car ferry to Dominče near Korčula town, then about 45 to 60 minutes across the island. Allow around 3½ to 4 hours in total.
Check the current TP Line and Jadrolinija timetables when planning.
Within a ten-minute walk is a sheltered bay with clear water and small moorings, and Slatina beach, a small and idyllic beach, is close by.

The sale concerns land. A house, construction contract or building permit is not included.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Why does the land register describe the land as “forest” (šuma)?
“Šuma” is a land-use description in the register. Building rights are governed by the spatial plan; the architect's report confirms that both plots lie within the settlement's building area.
How does the building permit process work?
The process has become simpler and largely digital in recent years. A local architect can help you design the home you want within the local planning rules and handle the permit application online through Croatia's e-Dozvola system. You can work with the architect from abroad while they submit the plans and follow up locally. The feasibility report already gives you a starting point by outlining what could be built on each plot. The architect's permit process guide, available on request, explains each step.
Is a building permit included?
No building permit has been applied for, so you can start with a design that suits you. Both plots lie within the settlement's building area, and your architect can use the feasibility report to develop a design for approval.
Can non-Croatian buyers purchase the plots?
EU citizens can generally buy on the same terms as Croatian citizens. For other buyers, eligibility and approvals depend on citizenship and circumstances.
Can I build one house on both plots?
A single villa across both plots is a concept to explore. The architect's feasibility report assesses the plots separately. It would require combining the two parcels; a local architect should confirm whether that is possible and what could then be permitted.
What is the shared access road?
Parcel 12878/1568 is a private access road and footpath, shared with the owner of the plots in front. It gives car access to both plots from the Triporte road and continues as a footpath down towards the water, where steps lead to the rocks. The sale includes a 50% share in this parcel.
What purchase costs should I allow for?
Where Croatian real estate transfer tax applies and the transaction is not subject to VAT, the general rate is 3% of the assessed market value. Allow separately for legal advice, notarial and registration costs, translations where required, and any buyer-side agency fee you agree. The tax treatment and total costs must be confirmed for the actual transaction.
Which ownership documents are available?
On request you receive the land-registry extracts, the architect's feasibility analysis and site plan, and the documentation confirming the authority to sell. Before signing, your legal adviser can review the documents and confirm how the sale and transfer of the share in the access road will be handled.
What might it cost to build?
Construction costs depend on size, design, specification and site works. We recommend a project-specific cost assessment before making a purchase decision.
Can I arrange a viewing?
Yes. Please send an enquiry with your preferred dates and we will confirm local arrangements individually.
