100 Year Old Traditional House

This old traditional house immediately grabbed my attention, not only for the price tag of just over 6,000 Euros but also as it has real character and a nice private plot.

The main house has external stone steps leading to a wonderful wooden terrace and then two good sized rooms off the terrace. Under the main house is a large basement.

There is also a summer kitchen with a room behind it as well.

The plot is about 900sqm with vineyards and fruit trees.

The property is fairly close to the city, being about 23km east of Stara Zagora and just off the main road through to Nova Zagora and onto Burgas.

May 2007: After meeting seller at Notary to complete deal it was discovered that various bits of paperwork were missing and so completion has had to be delayed until this is dealt with by the seller.

August 2007: All paperwork finally sorted out and hope to complete the deal shortly. Do not intend to do anything with this property immediately.

Property deal now complete. Old owner tried to leave me his dog and wants access in the autumn to pick his grapes for wine and Rakia.

February 2008: Visited house to ensure all in order and to see what had been left behind. Small part of the mud brick wall had fallen down and door to one of the upstairs rooms was wide open. However, rest of house secure. All furniture has been left as well as lovely old wood burner and stove. I met some of the neighbors and luckily one spoke English and so his father, who lives nearby, will keep an eye on the house for me. It is a lovely quite village, only 15 minutes drive from the city. There are a number of other houses for sale in this village.

AVAILABLE FOR RENT: This house is available for rent for those looking for a base while they find a property for themselves or renovate a house in the area. It offers no real luxuries as there is only an outside toilet in a barn but if that did not put you off, then you can rent this lovely 2 bedroom house (one bedroom with wood burner to keep you warm) for just 160 levs/mth (around 80 E/mth) including bills (water and electric). The summer kitchen offers an inside tap and sink, a wood fired cooker and has table, chairs etc. You are welcome to use the garden to grow vegetables and there are mature grape vines. There are several dog pens and little barns as well.

CURRENTLY RENTED UNTIL EARLY AUGUST
