Historic Riverfront Watermill with 2.4 Hectares on the Korana River

The Property

Step into a piece of history with this unique property, located along the banks of the river Korana and looking out over numerous cascades. This wooden house, which once functioned as a working watermill, offers not only a tranquil living space but also a rare opportunity to own a property rich in heritage.

Set on over 2.4 hectares of land, all in one piece, the property runs alongside the river, providing stunning views, the soothing sounds of water, and private access to 170 meters of riverbank—perfect for swimming or simply enjoying the natural beauty.

The house itself features a cozy room with a traditional wood stove and a second room with a low ceiling, giving it a rustic charm. The downstairs area has several additional spaces, including a cellar and a room where the miller used to sit while waiting for clients. The milling room still houses three mills from the 19th century, which were in use until the 1990s, making this a truly historical location.

In addition to the watermill, the property includes two more buildings—a haybarn and an animal shelter—both adding to the charm and functionality of the estate. The open storage area provides ample space for equipment or could make an excellent sitting area with a view over the waterfalls.

The Location

Situated close to Rastoke and the town of Slunj, this property offers the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility. The riverfront location provides a peaceful retreat, while being just a short drive from the conveniences of Slunj. The expansive meadow and the surrounding natural beauty make this property a true piece of paradise, ideal for anyone looking to escape to the countryside and embrace a slower, more serene way of life.

Whether you’re drawn by the historical significance of the watermill, the beauty of the Korana River, or the opportunity for private riverside living, this property is a rare find with endless potential.
