Makhinjauri is a quiet coastal neighbourhood north of Batumi, favoured by those seeking seaside living away from the city's bustle. Surrounded by subtropical greenery, it sits minutes from the beach and a 10–15 minute drive from central Batumi. Popular with expats, creatives and long-term residents relocating to Georgia.
About the Villa
A three-storey villa of 210 m² on a 600 m² plot. The property is executed in a distinctive loft aesthetic — exposed concrete ceilings, brick columns, deep blue accent walls and patterned tilework throughout. This is an unconventional property with a strong character, aimed at buyers who value atmosphere over standard finishes.
The living room is a long open-plan space with a raw concrete ceiling and floor-to-ceiling metal shelving built as a full library wall. Gallery-style artwork arrangements, parquet flooring and industrial pendant lighting define the mood. The dining zone is separated by a brick column and opens onto the plot through a panoramic window. The kitchen features matte blue lower cabinets paired with wooden upper units, a solid wood butcher-block countertop and integrated appliances. Bedrooms carry the same dark, saturated palette with concrete ceilings. Bathrooms are finished with artisan Moroccan and patterned tiles, pendant lighting and black fittings. The outdoor area is a courtyard enclosed by a natural rock wall with greenery.

Investment Potential
