Garden Apartment for Sale in Savina, Herceg-Novi — First-Line Waterfront Location

Garden Apartment for Sale in Savina, Herceg-Novi (33m²): a premium property for sale in Montenegro priced at €215,000. 0% buyer commission.

Garden apartment Herceg-Novi occupies one of the most coveted addresses on the Bay of Kotor — Savina, first line from the waterfront promenade, steps from the Adriatic, beneath the ancient walls of the 15th-century Savina Monastery. Fully renovated, move-in ready, and offered with a rare 63 m² private registered garden directly accessible from the apartment, this is a property type that almost never appears on the Savina market.

The interior covers 33 m² of redesigned living space with a separate bedroom, underfloor heating, and two balconies — large and small — opening onto the quiet, green surroundings that define this neighbourhood of Herceg-Novi. The garden is fully registered as a separate cadastral parcel, legally enclosed, and transfers with the property title — not a shared courtyard, not informal access: fully owned outdoor space at a Boka Bay waterfront address.

Whether you are looking for a personal retreat on the Adriatic, a high-yield short-term rental, or a low-entry investment before Montenegro’s EU accession, this garden apartment in Herceg-Novi delivers on all three. First-line promenade properties with private outdoor space in Savina are genuinely rare and rarely resold.

Frequently Asked Questions — Garden Apartment in Herceg-Novi

Is the 63 m² garden legally registered and fully owned?

Yes. The garden is a registered cadastral parcel linked to the apartment title — not a shared courtyard or informal use area. It transfers with the property and is recorded in the Land Registry (Katastar) as part of the sale. This legal distinction significantly increases the property’s value and resale appeal compared to standard apartments in Savina.

Can foreigners buy a garden apartment in Herceg-Novi?

Yes. Montenegro imposes no restrictions on foreign property ownership. Non-EU citizens purchase on the same terms as Montenegrin citizens — full title in the buyer’s name, no local partner required. The process requires a Montenegrin notary and takes 4–8 weeks from signed preliminary contract to registration.

What are the total purchase costs beyond the asking price?

Budget 3–4% above the purchase price: 3% property transfer tax, approximately 0.1% notary fee, and €500–€1,500 for independent legal due diligence. Montenegro Estates charges 0% commission to buyers.

What rental yield can a garden apartment in Herceg-Novi achieve?

First-line Savina apartments achieve nightly rates of €80–€130 in peak season (June–September), with July–August occupancy regularly above 85%. The private garden adds a measurable premium on short-term rental platforms. Annual gross yield for a waterfront garden apartment at this price point typically ranges from 6–9%.

Can I get residency by purchasing this property?

Yes. Property ownership in Montenegro qualifies you for a Temporary Residence Permit, renewable annually with no minimum purchase value requirement. Full details in our Montenegro residency via real estate guide.

How does Savina compare to other Herceg-Novi neighbourhoods?

Savina commands the highest prestige and rental premium in Herceg-Novi due to direct waterfront access, the Savina Monastery landmark, and strictly protected low-density development. Properties here carry a 15–25% premium per m² over the Old Town and Igalo areas — and come to market far less frequently.

Will Montenegro’s EU accession affect property values in Herceg-Novi?

Herceg-Novi sits 55 km from Dubrovnik — one of Europe’s most expensive coastal markets. Croatia’s EU accession in 2013 drove 40–60% property price increases within 5 years. Montenegro’s Bay of Kotor is currently priced at a fraction of comparable Croatian Adriatic coast values. Full analysis in our EU accession property guide.
