Apartment H8-01 is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom ground-floor apartment in Residence H8 at Horizon, Luštica Bay, with 78.68 m² of internal space, a 12.63 m² terrace and a further 66.44 m² private garden held under exclusive usage rights. Total sellable area is 91.31 m². The price is €916,000 including VAT, with an underground parking space on a 25-year lease. Off-plan, with delivery planned for December 2029.
Horizon is Luštica Bay's most private neighbourhood, set on the hillside between Marina Village and the golf course, with views across the Adriatic. It is a purely residential area with no shops or commercial units, built in local stone with green shutters and arched porticos, and laid out along cypress-lined paths and terraced gardens.
Residence H8 is part of the new launch phase. H8-01 sits on Level 0, the lowest floor of the building, and is one of the few apartments in Horizon that comes with its own garden.
The front door opens into an open-plan kitchen, dining and living room. The kitchen runs along the back wall and is delivered fully equipped, the dining area takes a table for six, and the living room leads through wide sliding doors onto a 12.63 m² terrace. The terrace is large enough for a dining table and a lounge set, and steps straight down to the garden.
Both bedrooms sit side by side on the garden side of the apartment, each with built-in wardrobes and doors opening directly onto a pergola-covered strip outside. The master bedroom has its own bathroom; the second bathroom serves the guest bedroom and the living space.
The 66.44 m² garden wraps around the front of the apartment beneath the terrace and bedrooms, with its own stair access. Held under exclusive usage rights, it gives the apartment an outdoor area closer to that of a townhouse than a typical apartment, and room for planting, a lawn and outdoor furniture.
Ducted air conditioning, exterior shading and underfloor heating in the bathrooms make the apartment usable year-round. Residents share the residence's infinity pool and sun terrace, and an underground parking space is included on a 25-year lease.
For buyers comparing layouts, floors or delivery dates, the following two-bedroom apartments are also currently available off-plan. All prices include VAT.
Luštica Bay is a planned coastal town on the Luštica peninsula, developed by Orascom Development. Marina Village sits just below Horizon, with the marina, a promenade of restaurants, cafés and shops, and The Chedi Luštica Bay hotel and spa. Centrale, the town's second hub, has a piazza and tennis and padel courts. Along the shore are Marina Beach, Zen Beach Sea Lounge, The ROK Beach Bar and The Chedi Beach, linked by the 1.8 km Lungo Mare walkway. The 18-hole Gary Player Signature golf course is under development around The Peaks, directly above Horizon.
H8-01 suits a buyer who wants the security and services of a managed residence without giving up a garden. Children can step from their bedroom straight outside, breakfast can move from the terrace to the lawn, and the pool, clubhouse and beach are all within walking distance.
For a holiday home, the combination works well: the Luštica Bay rental programme and year-round property management handle the apartment between stays, making it a holiday base that needs no thought between visits. For rental guests, two bathrooms, two equal-sized bedrooms and a private garden are a clear step up from a standard apartment.
This is a ground-floor apartment, and that is both its strength and its trade-off. The garden and direct outdoor access from every main room are rare in Horizon, but views from Level 0 will be lower and more framed than from the upper floors of the residence. Buyers for whom a wide sea panorama comes first should also look at H8-11, H8-12 or H8-21 above.
The apartment is off-plan, with delivery planned for December 2029. The payment schedule spreads the cost well beyond handover, which makes the wait easier to plan around, but buyers should be comfortable with a three-year horizon before moving in.
H8-01 is sold off-plan with delivery planned for December 2029. Payment terms are interest-free: 20% on signing the Sales and Purchase Agreement, 50% in quarterly instalments until delivery, and 30% in quarterly instalments over the two years after delivery.
NT Realty is a boutique real estate agency based in Tivat, Montenegro. Founded by Peter Flynn, who first came to the Bay of Kotor in 2005 as a property investor and has since built businesses across real estate development, architecture, and interior design, the agency is run alongside Maša Flynn — architect and former Head of Design at Porto Montenegro, where she delivered over €60 million of projects on time and on budget. Between them they bring a depth of local market knowledge that is difficult to find elsewhere in the region.
The team specialises in properties for sale and long-term rentals across the Bay of Kotor, Tivat Bay, and the Luštica Peninsula — from Porto Montenegro and Luštica Bay to private homes throughout the wider region. Our job is to guide buyers, sellers, and tenants through the process clearly, honestly, and without unnecessary complexity.

After purchase and registration, you'll receive keys and take possession. Next steps include transferring utilities to your name, setting up building management payments if it's an apartment, getting home insurance, and—if you're renting it out—registering for tourist tax and obtaining any required permits. Your lawyer or agent can guide you through the administrative bits.
Rental income is taxed at 15% on gross receipts if you're renting short-term (tourist rentals), or you can opt for taxation on net income after expenses for long-term rentals. You'll also pay municipal tourist tax (€1 per night per guest in high season, €0.50 in low season) and need to register your rental with the tax authorities and tourism directorate.
Annual property tax is quite low—just 0.25% of the property's assessed value per year. The assessed value is typically well below market value, so you might pay €200-500 annually on a coastal apartment worth €200,000. It's collected by your local municipality and is one of Montenegro's more affordable ongoing costs.
Notary fees are set by official tariff and scale with your purchase price. For most residential properties, expect €350-€1,000 plus 21% VAT—so roughly €423-€1,210 total. A €250,000 property runs about €532 in base fees. There are also small charges for document copies and administrative filing, so your final notary bill might be slightly higher.
For resale properties, you'll pay 3% Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) on the purchase price. New builds from developers are zero-rated for RETT but include 21% VAT in the price—though developers can usually reclaim this VAT. Either way, budget around 3% of the purchase price for transfer taxes unless it's a new build where VAT is already included.
The notary doesn't receive or hold the money directly. Instead, the seller must confirm in writing to the notary that they've received the full purchase price. Only after the notary receives this written confirmation (and verifies tax obligations are met) will they issue the Clausula Intabulandi. Some transactions use bank confirmations for added security.
Yes, if you're married or in a registered partnership, you typically need your spouse's or partner's written consent to sell property in Montenegro, even if the property is registered solely in your name. This protects both parties' interests under matrimonial property rules. Your notary will confirm the specific requirements for your situation.
The Clausula Intabulandi is the notary's official confirmation that all legal and financial obligations have been met, allowing the property to be registered in your name. The notary issues it only after verifying you've paid the full price and all taxes. It's your green light for cadastre registration—without it, you can't become the legal owner.
Every property and owner has specific numbers that appear on contracts: your JMBG (personal ID), the seller's JMBG or company registration, and the property's cadastral parcel number (katastarska parcela/čestica). These link everything in the official registries and are essential for registration and tax purposes.
No, Montenegro doesn't have a title insurance system like the US or UK. Instead, buyers rely on comprehensive legal due diligence—your lawyer or notary checks the cadastre, ownership history, encumbrances, and permits before you commit. It's a different system, but with proper checks it's just as secure.
It depends on where your documents were issued. If you're from a Hague Convention country (which includes most Western countries), you need an apostille. If not, your documents need consular legalisation. Either way, they'll also need certified translation by a sworn court translator in Montenegro.
Your lawyer requests an official extract (List nepokretnosti) from the Real Estate Cadastre, which shows current ownership, any mortgages or liens, property boundaries, and legal description. The notary also verifies the seller's identity and legal capacity. This due diligence typically takes a few days and costs around €18-25 for the cadastre extract.
You obtain a JMBG through the local Police Directorate (MUP) by presenting your passport, proof of property ownership, and completing a simple application. The process typically takes a few days, and you'll need this number for tax declarations and property registration—even without residency.
For a straightforward resale apartment with clean paperwork, the buying process can often be completed within 3-6 weeks. More complex transactions, new builds, or mortgage-financed purchases can take longer.
Some banks do lend to foreigners, but conditions are tighter—lower loan-to-value ratios and stricter income requirements. Many foreign buyers finance through their home country or pay cash.
Officially, everything is in euros. You can convert from your home currency before sending, or in some cases settle using cryptocurrency if both parties and the notary agree—but the contract price and taxes are always euro-based.
Beyond the purchase price and transfer tax, budget for notary fees, translation, legal fees, and potentially agency commission—together, these typically add 2-4% to your total cost.
No. Most foreign buyers use a Power of Attorney to authorize someone here—your lawyer, NT Realty, or another trusted representative—to sign on your behalf.
By convention, the buyer usually pays both the notary fees and the sworn court translator fees, though this can be negotiated between parties.
Yes, and it's more straightforward than most people expect. Montenegro welcomes foreign buyers—both EU and non-EU—and you can own property in your own name without needing residency or a local company in most cases.
