About Us

Sommerhagene is an eco‑minded micro‑community rising on a sunny hillside above the Neretva valley. Five timber villas share one idea: live close to nature without giving up modern comfort. Rivers, waterfalls, mountains, and the Adriatic are all within easy reach, turning "weekend getaway" into an everyday routine.

About the project

Sommerhagene is an eco‑minded micro‑community rising on a sunny hillside above the Neretva valley. Five timber villas share one idea: live close to nature without giving up modern comfort. Rivers, waterfalls, mountains, and the Adriatic are all within easy reach, turning "weekend getaway" into an everyday routine.

Why Sommerhagene Exists.

Blend river calm with coastal freedom. Herzegovina’s south offers 2,500 sunshine hours a year, green riverbanks, and a straight road to the sea. Sommerhagene is designed for people who want fresh air, low‑energy homes, and more time outside. Timber walls, saltwater pools, and fruit trees replace concrete, chlorine, and traffic noise..
