Buy and Renovate Historic Homes in Ljuta, Montenegro – With Expert Help from Evkowski Company

Ljuta is a charming coastal village along the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro. Known for its traditional stone houses and breathtaking views, Ljuta attracts property buyers who value authenticity, peace, and timeless Mediterranean character.

But what kinds of properties are available here, and what are the rules for renovation once you've made a purchase? Most importantly — who can help you through the process? Let’s dive in.

Types of Properties Available in Ljuta

1. Traditional Stone Houses

The hallmark of Ljuta. These homes are centuries old, built from local stone and full of character. Expect:

  • Solid limestone walls
  • Rustic wooden shutters
  • Sea-facing balconies and shaded courtyards

2. Historic Ruins with Building Potential

Some properties are in need of full renovation but come with permits or can be legally restored. They are perfect for visionary buyers.

3. Modern Villas and Apartments

Outside the heritage-protected core, you’ll find newer homes with modern amenities, though limited in number.

Renovation Rules in Ljuta

Because Ljuta is part of the UNESCO-protected Bay of Kotor, renovation comes with clear guidelines to preserve the area’s heritage.

1. Government Approval Is Required

You must apply for:

  • A renovation permit from the Municipality of Kotor
  • Additional approval from the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments, if the property is in a protected zone

2. Exterior Preservation Is a Must

  • Stone facades must remain visible or be rebuilt traditionally
  • Roof tiles must be terracotta-style
  • Window and door styles must match historic designs
  • Visible plastic, glass, or steel is usually not allowed
