Specifications
- Interior area: 86 m²
- Terrace: 13 m²
- Floor: 2nd of 3
- Air conditioning: installed
- Parking: free, included
- Distance to sea: 1,700 m
- Legal status: fully legal, clean title
At 86 m² across two bedrooms, the apartment is comfortably above the Montenegrin coastal average, where two-bedroom units commonly fall between 50 and 70 m². The extra area shows up as a genuinely open living-kitchen space and a separate storage room — the sort of practical detail that is usually the first thing sacrificed in smaller builds.
Fully Legal Title — Why It Matters in Montenegro
The apartment is fully legal, with clean registered title.
This is worth stating plainly rather than burying in a specification list. A meaningful share of residential property on the Montenegrin coast has some form of documentation issue — unregistered extensions, works carried out without permits, or areas recorded differently from what was built. Those problems surface at the notary, not at the viewing, and they can delay or collapse a purchase late in the process.
An apartment with clean title from the outset removes that risk entirely. It also means the property can be mortgaged, resold and registered without remedial work — which matters as much on exit as on entry.
As with any purchase, a buyer’s lawyer should verify the List nepokretnosti independently before completion. See our Montenegro Property Buying Guide for the full process.
Terrace, View and Parking
13 m² Terrace with Sea View
The terrace runs to 13 m² — roughly 15% of the apartment’s floor area — and looks out to the sea. Although the apartment sits 1,700 metres inland, Šušanj rises behind the coast, and the elevation is what delivers the outlook. It is a usable outdoor room rather than a token balcony: large enough for a table, seating and shade.
Free Parking
Parking is included at no additional cost. On the Montenegrin coast, a dedicated space is frequently sold separately — commonly €10,000 to €20,000 in the more expensive municipalities — so its inclusion here is a real component of value rather than a throwaway line.
Air Conditioning
Air conditioning is already installed, so the apartment is ready for immediate summer occupation without additional fit-out.
Price in Context — €1,570 per m²
At €135,000 for 86 m², the apartment prices at approximately €1,570 per m², with the 13 m² terrace and parking included.
Comparable two-bedroom apartments in Budva currently transact at roughly €3,000–4,000 per m², and higher again in Tivat and Kotor. Bar is Montenegro’s most affordable coastal municipality, and buyers whose priority is usable space rather than a resort address consistently find that the same budget buys substantially more here.
Bar is also a working year-round city — Montenegro’s principal port, terminus of the Bar–Belgrade railway, with ferry links to Italy, plus schools, a hospital and university faculties. That supports year-round letting demand alongside the summer season, which a purely seasonal resort location cannot.
Location — Šušanj, Bar
Šušanj is an established residential suburb immediately north of Bar city centre, running up the slope behind Šušanj beach. It is a settled, year-round neighbourhood of permanent residents rather than a seasonal strip, with local shops and services on hand and the city centre a few minutes away.
Distances
- Šušanj beach / nearest sea access — 1,700 m / ~22 min walk, ~4 min drive
- Bar city centre — ~3 km / ~5 min drive
- Port of Bar — ~3 km / ~6 min drive
- Ratac — ~2 km / ~4 min drive
- Red Beach (Crvena plaža) — ~3 km / ~6 min drive
- Sutomore — ~4 km / ~7 min drive
- Old Olive Tree of Mirovica — ~6 km / ~11 min drive
- Stari Bar (Old Town) — ~7 km / ~13 min drive
- Skadar Lake National Park — ~25 km / ~35 min drive
- Budva — ~30 km / ~35 min drive
- Podgorica Airport — ~55 km / ~55 min drive (Airports of Montenegro)
- Tivat International Airport — ~55 km / ~70 min drive
On the 1,700 m to the Sea
We state the distance plainly because it is central to how the apartment should be judged. This is not a beachfront property — the beach is a walk of a little over twenty minutes, or four minutes by car.
What that distance buys is the price. Beachfront stock in Bar carries a clear premium, and the same budget on the seafront would purchase materially less space. For a buyer prioritising 86 m², two bedrooms, a 13 m² terrace, parking and clean title, the trade is a favourable one — and the elevation still delivers the sea view.
The Bar riviera runs from Čanj through Sutomore, Šušanj and Ratac down to Dobra Voda and Utjeha, with the 2,000-year-old Old Olive Tree at Mirovica among the region’s best-known landmarks.
Who This Apartment Suits
- Permanent residents and relocating families — year-round neighbourhood, city services minutes away, 86 m² of usable space
- Buyers priced out of Budva or Boka — roughly half the per-m² cost for comparable accommodation
- Long-term rental investors — Bar’s year-round working population supports annual tenancy, not only summer letting
- Buyers who want documentation certainty — clean legal title from the outset

FAQ — Apartment for Sale in Šušanj, Bar

Is the apartment legally registered?
Yes — the apartment is fully legal with clean registered title, and full documentation including the List nepokretnosti is available for inspection.

Clean title means the property can be mortgaged, resold and registered without remedial work. A buyer’s lawyer should still verify the title independently before completion.
How far is the apartment from the sea?
The beach is 1,700 metres away — a walk of a little over twenty minutes, or about four minutes by car. This is not a beachfront apartment, and the distance is reflected in the price: the same budget on the seafront would buy considerably less space. Because Šušanj rises behind the coast, the terrace still has a sea view despite the inland position.
Is parking included?
Yes — parking is included free of charge. This is a genuine element of value: on the Montenegrin coast a dedicated parking space is frequently sold separately, commonly for €10,000 to €20,000 in the more expensive municipalities.
