PARCELA NA BREŽULJKU, Kršan, Land

A large plot of land is located  on an elevated position, from which there is an enchanting view of the surrounding area and green hills. Since it is located on the edge of the village, it is a very quiet location with almost no traffic. The plot can be accessed from two sides: asphalted on the lower side and macadam on the upper side. The transmission line passes through part of the plot, but this does not represent an obstacle for the construction of a house and other buildings on this spacious plot of land.   LOCATION Šušnjevica is a small village in the eastern part of Istria County, in the municipality of Kršan.
