Boban Rajovic: I Regret Selling My Senjak Villa
The singer revealed he sold the luxury Senjak villa he bought from Dragana Mirkovic 16 years ago, put half a million euros into renovating it, and is now hunting for a new home nearby.
Singer Boban Rajovic confirmed in a statement to Telegraf on September 19, later picked up by Kurir and Mondo, that he has sold his luxury villa on Senjak. He bought the property from fellow singer Dragana Mirkovic back in 2010, and he now admits he regrets letting it go.
For years, the house was known in the press as “Dragana Mirkovic’s villa,” even though Rajovic and his family had actually lived there for sixteen years, from 2010 until the sale earlier this year. The property carried special personal weight for the singer: it was the first home he bought in Serbia after getting married, and the first house his family shared in Belgrade following his wedding and the birth of his son. That, he says, is exactly why the decision to sell was so hard, even though the deal made financial sense.
Rajovic says he rarely spoke about the house in the past, but he grew tired of the constant chatter about who had bought the property from whom.
“I was honestly sick of the whole thing, and that’s why I sold it. I’d had more than enough of people going on about how I bought it from Dragana Mirkovic.”
The singer put around 500,000 euros into renovating and furnishing the villa. During the renovation, he says, his main goal was to give the house a warm, family feel. One standout feature of the interior was an aquarium built into a wall, something Rajovic says he was completely obsessed with. When his mother first saw that wall on a visit, she joked, “Well, son, those are golden walls.”
Despite that investment and the emotional value the house held for his family, Rajovic decided to sell once, in his words, a good opportunity came along. Even so, he now says he regrets the move.
“It’s true, I sold the house I bought from her back in 2010. A good opportunity came up, and I had put a lot of money into it, but I really regret selling it.”
Even while calling the sale a smart business move, the singer doesn’t hide that he misses the house where he raised his family.
“When I got married and had my son, that was our first home together in Belgrade, but now we’re looking for a new one, and we want it close to the old one.”
Rajovic is now actively searching for a new home in Belgrade, specifically near the location of the villa he just sold. Neither Kurir nor Mondo report who bought the property, for how much, or on exactly what date the deal closed, only that the singer spoke about it on September 19. Dragana Mirkovic has not commented on the sale of a house she once owned, nor on the fact that her name stayed tied to that address for years.
The story of the house followed both singers for years, first as news that Rajovic had bought a property from a colleague, then as a label he says he simply grew tired of. Now that the villa has changed hands, that chapter is closed, but the singer remains attached to the neighborhood he lived in, which is exactly why he’s looking for his next house in the same part of town.
