Land for sale in Montenegro

Buying land in Montenegro instead of a finished home

Some buyers want to design their own house. Others look for a plot to build several units on. In both cases the value of the land depends on two things you cannot change later: what the local plan allows on it and how you reach it.

The plots on this page fall into a few broad types.

• Building plots inside or next to existing settlements, sized for one house or a small villa.
• Larger plots suited to a group of houses, an apartment building or a small tourist project.
• Agricultural land and olive groves, common in the Bar area. Building on them is often limited, so check the planning status first.
• Mountain plots in the north, on meadows and forest edges.

Where the land for sale is

Bar

Bar has the most plots in our offer. The municipality runs from the coast up into olive-covered hills, so there is a mix of plots close to the settlements and quieter land further up. See land for sale in Bar.

Kotor

Around the Bay of Kotor the strip between sea and mountain is narrow. Plots here are often on slopes, terraced or reached by steep roads. That shapes what you can build and how much it costs. Browse land for sale in Kotor.

Budva

The Budva Riviera is the most built-up part of the coast. Free land is mostly on the hills behind the resorts. The current list is under land for sale in Budva.

Tivat, Luštica and Herceg Novi

The Luštica peninsula, across the bay from Tivat, still has a lot of open, green land and small villages. Herceg Novi, at the entrance to the bay, has plots in the settlements around the town and on the slopes above it. Compare land for sale in Tivat and Luštica Bay with plots in Herceg Novi.

Kolašin

In the mountains, Kolašin offers plots for a holiday house or a small guesthouse, with forests and a ski area nearby. Read about real estate in Kolašin.

What to check before you buy a plot

• Planning status. Ask what the plan allows: use, height, floor area. A cheap plot with no building rights stays a field.
• Access. A legal road to the plot, not only a path across a neighbour's land.
• Utilities. How far the nearest water and power connection is.
• Slope and soil. A steep plot can need retaining walls before any house goes up.
• Ownership. Older land often has several co-owners. All of them must agree to the sale.
• Size and borders. Have the plot measured and compared with the land registry.

A local lawyer and a surveyor can check most of this in a short time. Once the papers look clean, book a viewing and walk the plot. Photos rarely show the slope or the road properly.
