Rural retreat / Farm house tourism

Palic family moved from the city of Zagreb into the beautiful, rural area of Draganići, Croatia. There, we have made ourselves a small but vibrant farm, with oak lodge and lots of animals (A horse legally named Money Maker but renamed by my wife - Budget Buster, 10 chickens, rooster named Horhe, 5 goats, 2 dogs and 4 cats.

Our property consists of approximately 3 ha of land/forests and meadows.

Draganići is situated almost half way from city of Zagreb - capital of Croatia (intl airport), city of Rijeka (intl sea port) and Adriatic coast, and UNESCO protected national natural park of Plitvice. This is ideal placement for a rural tourism.

Recently, we have purchased a bordering lot with old oak lodge that needs renovation. Our plan is to renovate it and rent it for rural tourism:

We have collected the offers from the local companies specialized in renovation of the old wooden houses and the most viable offer is 33+k EUR.

Because we already invested a lot for expanding the land around the property we lack funds to renovate this house in near future and start renting it into a rural tourism.

We have registered legal person - a farm - "OPG Palić", for four years now, which is eligible to sign business contracts of any kind.

Upon request we can provide:

1. Registration documents of "OPG Palić",

2. Ownership documents of the wooden lodge,

3. Land registry paperwork of the wooden lodge and accompanying land,

4. Renovation offer from the local company,

5. Any other requested document.

What we offer:

1. For smaller donations - our gratitude and discount if you ever decide to visit us and if this project goes through,

2. For larger donations - booked time in the lodge or percentage of revenue (depends on the donation),

3. For large donations - percentage of revenue or partnership.
