In mid‑2026, Soldatovic Holding plans to launch a transformative hospitality venture on ancestral lands in Vuckovica, near Ivanjica. We are set to invest up to €1.5 million to build a 14‑unit staggered A‑frame house complex spanning 5,500 m² at 720 m above sea level—an idyllic setting nestled among the forests and hills of southwestern Serbia, in the shadow of the Golija biosphere reserve
Each A‑frame cottage will offer rustic elegance and modern comfort, designed to blend seamlessly with the natural landscape—ideal for individual tourists and dynamic groups alike.
Multifunctional Guest & Event Hub
More than lodging, this eco‑village will serve as a vibrant activity center offering immersive experiences:
Group Events & Retreats: The site includes infrastructure for workshops, wellness retreats, and corporate or family gatherings—supported by communal open spaces and the cozy charm of A‑frame architecture.
Berry‑Harvest Gatherings: Guests can participate in seasonal family berry picking, celebrating local agriculture and tradition.
Equestrian Adventures: Horse riding trails will weave through the forest, offering scenic exploration and wellness through nature.
Cultural & Environmental Significance
Proximity to Natural Assets: The site sits near the UNESCO‑protected Golija-Studenica Biosphere Reserve, known for its rich biodiversity and forested landscapes—perfect for nature lovers, hikers, and explorers
Rooted in Heritage: The location lies on lands held by the Soldatovic family for generations. This project bridges past and present, honoring legacy while fostering modern hospitality.
Sustainable Tourism: Rural tourism in Ivanjica and surrounding regions is growing—offering visitors restorative natural escapes while preserving village life.
Why This Project Matters
- Authentic Rural Revival: As outlined in regional tourism studies, projects that preserve rural authenticity help sustain villages and deter depopulation.
- Unique Accommodation Trend: A‑frame cottages enjoy rising popularity worldwide for their simple, immersive charm — Serbia can offer its own version steeped in local culture.
- Proximity to Ivanjica Town: A historic town celebrated for its scenic landscapes, cultural festivals like Nušićijada, and healing air spa status, Ivanjica offers a perfect complement to the retreat experience.
