Ranch Visoka - The Ultimate Escape

How did our story start?

Brač is one of the most beautiful Croatian islands. It is known for its stonemasonry and has been inhabited by people who have lived off agriculture and fishing since ancient times. Brač is an island of stone; every stone has its own history.

My ancestors, known for their dedication to agriculture, cultivated olives, cherries, and grapes. My family and I decided to continue the tradition with the same enthusiasm. My father had a vision to bring this forgotten place back to life. We renovated the entire property by hand, rebuilding the old ruined houses from the ground up, tidying up the land, and planting olive and fruit trees. Something was still missing, so we brought a few friendly animals—sheep, goats, and chickens—to make our place livelier and more inviting!

Things began to fall into place. What was once a forgotten piece of land became a peaceful retreat in untouched nature—a self-sustaining property where rainwater is collected and electricity is generated from solar panels. You'll enjoy food prepared in nature over oak wood and an open fire—simple yet unforgettable. Fresh, clean air and the peaceful rhythm of nature create an experience that is hard to forget.

We’re thrilled to invite others to experience this space. Escape the hustle and bustle of city life with us. Everyone is welcome to experience Ranch Visoka.

House details

This romantic country house is made of natural stone and built in a traditional style. It features spectacular panoramic views of the sea and the mountains, especially from the private pool, which is beautifully illuminated at night. The property includes an outdoor shower and an outdoor kitchen with a grill area, all set within a spacious 10,000 m² private estate.

The holiday home is easily accessible by car, although the final part of the journey follows a gravel road. Despite its romantic and secluded setting, you won't feel completely isolated. I live nearby and can be reached by phone to help with any questions or concerns you might have.

A year-round retreat

Beyond the hot summer season, Ranch Visoka is a year-round retreat where you can enjoy authentic island life at its own relaxed pace. It offers peaceful October escapes, the authentic experience of the olive harvest in November, the magic of Christmas and New Year traditions on the island, and the beauty of spring, when nature awakens.

Beautiful Property

Wonderful house, with stunning views and a fantastic pool. We enjoy learning about food and wine and had a great time doing the Wine Tasting at Ranch Visoka. We got a private tour and explanation how Olive Oil is made and we got to taste it. One of the best olive oils I ever tried. Highly recommend.

Entspannung pur

Wir hatten einen wundervollen sommerlichen Aufenthalt im Oktober auf der Visoka-Ranch. Juraj ist ein sehr aufmerksamer Gastgeber schon vor Ankunft bis zum Abschied. Wir haben die Ranch, die Insel und das Meer sehr genossen. Die Tatsache, dass die Hauptsaison beendet war, haben wir eher positiv empfunden. Allerdings war dadurch das Restaurant mit regionalen Speisen geschlossen ( das einzige „-“ in unseren Ferien) Entschädigt wurden wir durch frische Eier und leckeres hauseigenes Öl von der Ranch. Herzlichen Dank für einen einmaligen Ort zum Entschleunigen.

Traumhafte Unterkunft!!!

Wir (Familie, 2 Erwachsene und 3 Kinder 2-5 Jahre) haben gerade zwei sehr schöne Wochen in dieser traumhaften Unterkunft verbracht. Das Anwesen ist sehr schön und gepflegt und alles sieht genau so aus wie auf den Bildern abgebildet, oder sogar noch besser. Man hat dort wirklich sehr viel Privatsphäre. Das Anwesen ist einfach riesig und in jeder Ecke gibt es etwas neues zu entdecken. Der Poolbereich ist wunderschön und mit einem wirklich traumhaften Blick auf das Meer. Die Hühner, die den ganzen Tag auf dem Anwesen herumspazierten, gaben dem ganzen noch einen besonderen Charme und waren natürlich vor allem für die Kinder ein echtes Highlight! Die Betreuung durch Juraj war sehr gut. Er war jederzeit für uns erreichbar und alles klappte wie abgesprochen. Wir können die Ranch Visoka uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen!! Besonders für Familien mit etwas größeren Kindern, die sich schon sicher auf dem riesigen Gelände bewegen können, ist sie denke ich sehr gut geeignet. Aber auch für uns mit den Kleinen war alles sehr gut machbar! Sollten wir wieder einmal Urlaub auf Brac machen würden wir sie sofort wieder buchen!! Viele Grüße Familie H.

Einsames Paradies

Wir (2 Erwachsene und 2 Kinder) waren vom 24.06. - 08.07.2017 in der Ranch Visoka. Wir wurden von Juraj, dem ebenso freundlichen wie hilfbereiten Vermieter am vereinbarten Treffpunkt in Selca empfangen. Gemeinsam fuhren wir zur weitläufigen und liebevoll gestalteten Ranch, die uns Juraj ausführlich zeigte. Beide Steinhäuser der Ranch waren sehr ordentlich und sauber vorbereitet. Schnell merkten wir, dass "Visoka" auf kroatisch "Anhöhe" bedeutet - von der Ranch aus hat man nämlich einen fantastischen Ausblick über das Meer. Die Aussicht reicht vom kroatischen Festland bis zur Nachbarinsel. Besonders zum Sonnenuntergang liebten wir es, auf der Terasse, die am höchsten Punkt der Ranch gebaut wurde, mit einem Glas kroatischen Rotwein das Farbenspiel des Sonnenuntergangs zu genießen. Morgens ist es empfehlenswert, den ersten Kaffee des Tages an der neben dem Pool aus Steinen gebauten Bar zu genießen und den Blick dabei über das Meer schweifen zu lassen, über dem sich langsam der Nebel der vergangenen Nacht lichtet. Auf der Ranch kann man wirklich noch einen einsamen Urlaub ohne jegliche Nachbarn oder andere Touristen verbringen. Trotzdem sind es nur wenige Fahrminuten zum Meer oder in das idyllische Städchen Sumartin, wo eingekauft werden kann. Unser perönliches Highlight war an dem Tag, als Jurajs jügerer Bruder frische Fische im Meer gefangen hatte, die Juraj für uns in der Summerkitchen, die sich auch auf dem Gelände der Ranch befindet, mit selbst hergestelltem Olivenöl und frischem Rosmarin auf dem Grill zubereitete. Gegrillt wurde mit Holz von der Schwarzeiche. Wir haben selten so ausgezeichnet schmeckenden Fisch gegessen. 100% Wiederholungsgefahr! Möge die Idylle der Ranch lange erhalten bleiben! Beatrice & Andreas

Traumurlaub mit Erholungsgarantie

Der Aufenthalt war wirklich ein Traum! Noch schöner, als wir nach der Beschreibung erwartet haben. Alles war sehr gepflegt und sauber. Juraj fragte regelmäßig, ob alles OK ist, so dass kleine Wünsche sofort geäußert werden konnten und umgehend erfüllt wurden. Die Kommunikation klappte prima. Ich bekam stets umgehend Antwort. Wir trafen uns pünktlich am vereinbarten Treffpunkt. Der Vermieter war immer da, wenn man ihn brauchte und dabei so unaufdringlich, dass man nie das Gefühl hatte, nicht unter sich zu sein. Wir würden das Domizil unbedingt und uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen. Die Insel ist überall wundervoll und vor Allem - obwohl wir in den großen Ferien da waren - nicht überlaufen! Ein Ort zum Seele baumeln lassen. Danke Juraj für den herrlichen Aufenthalt.
