House
For Sale
Sofia
Bulgaria

This is a chance to buy a rural farmhouse in truly idyllic surrounding with 360 degree views of unspoiled nature in this magical wooded valley.

Welcome to OffbeatBulgaria !

The house has 2 floors and is of traditional construction, ie stone walls with an oak frame and adobe brick on the first floor, with tiled roof. The condition isn`t bad, still glazed, no significant roof leaks, lovely wooden floorboards and is nicely proportioned. The house just needs decorating and minor DIY to be able to live in straight away, albeit in basic conditions. Downstairs is altogether more rustic, bare stone walls and exposed beams and will make a splendid single large room.

If you are wondering how it`s possible to buy such a place in this desirable area at this price, read on��You`ll need to be intrepid for this place as it has no mains electricity or water and is 2km down a track from the main road. Electricity is planned for the valley, but for the immediate future, you`ll need to generate your own. The water has always been solved by storing water in huge underground tanks which all the houses in the valley have. Water can be delivered or collected through the year, this is far from an arid area! All the houses were occupied in living memory and supported generations farming the land, all with harvested water, so it can be done��

The track is passable by normal car and makes the place feel very peaceful as there is no passing traffic and only a few neighbours, who are maybe a kilometer across the valley.

The land is just over an acre, 4284m2 and is largely surrounded by a stone wall. There is a wooden barn and footprints of other barns should you need such space. As it is, this will make the perfect retreat, or for someone who fancies living off the land further acreage is available, 14,969 m2 for a further 2500 euro � perhaps we can find more!

About 8km away is the town of Yablanitsa for all your practical and shopping needs. It`s hard to imagine that Sofia and the airport are just an hour away when you are sat in the garden and wandering around, perfect peace��

Yablanitsa itself is a busy small town about an hours drive from Sofia and it`s welcoming tree-lined streets and dramatic views mean it`s increasingly in demand, not only from Sofians. There are plenty of shops, bars and restaurants, plus banks, doctors surgeries and a petrol station. The mayor is active and there are plenty of cultural events throughout the year, a giant annual party and even a super 200 seat theatre with regular performances, a museum and library. It`s got the lot!
