Real estate in Kolašin: houses, land and apartments

Kolašin real estate: a mountain town in the north

Kolašin is a small town in the North region of Montenegro. It sits in a green valley on the upper Tara, with Bjelasica rising to the east and Sinjajevina to the west. The air stays cool even in July, and winters bring proper snow. Many people from the coast and from Podgorica come up in summer to get away from the heat.

The offer is mostly land and houses, in roughly equal measure, with a small number of apartments. That fits the place. Buyers come here for space, a house with a garden or a plot of their own.

Skiing in winter, the mountains in summer

Bjelasica has two ski areas, Kolašin 1450 and Kolašin 1600. In winter they bring skiers and a busy season to town. In summer the same mountain is used for hiking, cycling and walks to its glacial lakes. Between Kolašin and Mojkovac lies Biogradska Gora National Park, one of the last virgin forests in Europe, with Biogradsko lake at its centre.

Houses for sale in Kolašin

Houses here range from older family homes in town to wooden and stone houses in the surrounding villages. Many serve as weekend or holiday houses, others are lived in all year. A house in the mountains needs good heating and an access road that is cleared in winter, so check both before you buy.

Land in and around Kolašin

Building land makes up close to half of the offer. Plots come in different settings: on the edge of town with utilities nearby, on meadows in the villages or on slopes above the town. Before buying, find out what may be built on the plot, how the access road looks in winter and whether water and electricity are connected. Plots across the whole country are listed under land for sale in Montenegro.

The town and its apartments

The centre is small and easy to walk, with a square, shops, cafés and restaurants serving local mountain food. Apartments are few and mostly in residential buildings in town. For a home in the town itself, see property in Kolašin town. Flats elsewhere in Montenegro are under apartments for sale.

Getting there

Kolašin is on the main road from Podgorica to the north of the country, and the railway from Bar to Belgrade stops in town. That makes it one of the easier mountain towns to reach from the coast and from the capital.

Who Kolašin suits

• Families who want a second home in the mountains, cool in summer and snowy in winter.
• People living on the coast or in Podgorica who want a weekend house.
• Skiers and hikers looking for a base close to Bjelasica.
• Buyers planning to build their own house surrounded by forest and pasture.

Book a viewing and think about the season. A plot looks very different under snow than it does in June, and seeing it in both is worth the trip.
