Description
I am a purchasing coordinator during the week and aspiring farmer on the weekends. This property was managed by my great grandparents as a small island farm. My grandmother and her sister kept it as a flower garden and citrus orchard. Lot of surrounding nature was taken over by nature itself. So I spend my weekends trying to restore this to its former glory :) Property is located on a gorgeous island of Koločep just outside of Dubrovnik.
