Stoliv Property for Sale: Villas on the Bay of Kotor

The Bay of Kotor is a deep, fjord-like inlet ringed by mountains, and its old towns and shoreline villages are a UNESCO-listed landscape. Stoliv lies on the western shore between Kotor and Tivat, so the old town of Kotor and Tivat airport are both within a short drive. The shoreline road can be slow in summer, and waterfront rights, building heights and protected-heritage rules limit new construction. Buyers are second-home owners, foreign retirees and investors looking at holiday rentals. Properties on steep slopes may have difficult access, parking and retaining-wall costs.

Foreigners can buy houses and apartments in Montenegro on broadly the same basis as citizens, while agricultural land is restricted and usually bought through a company. Property transfer tax is 3% to 6% (progressive by price) paid by the buyer (approx.; verify), with notary, legal and registration costs on top. Check cadastre entries, building permits and legalisation status, because unlicensed extensions are common in coastal areas. Montenegro uses the euro.
