This house is in a nice village in the Sakar Mountains, 25 km from Galabovo, 50 km from Svilengrad and 70 km from Stara Zagora.

The house itself has character but is small and very old and really (unfortunately) needs knocking down. The current house has good stone foundations and 2 rooms on each floor. The second floor certainly needs rebuilding. It might be possible to use the ground floor and foundations to rebuild a small holiday home. There is also a lovely, large barn on the plot.

However, the plot is large at 1,410sqm and would make a nice plot for building a larger house on. The draw back is that to one side, maybe 10 metres from the edge of the plot, is a little stream and while this should be a nice feature, as with many water ways in Bulgaria, it has a lot of rubbish in it. You cannot see this from the plot but it is a consideration.

This property would make an idea buy for those looking for a 'buy it and sit on it' type of investment. At only 4,000 Euros it works out at less than 3 Euros/sqm for a regulated plot.

TOP OFFER BECAUSE: Very cheap regulated plot in nice village, worth buying and sitting on for a couple of years.

Price: 4,000 Euros (plus commission)

This plot is 1,600sqm and is in a lovely, quiet village only around 50 km from Burgas and just off the main Sofia to Burgas road. There are other Brits that own in the village.

The plot is on a corner and two tarmac roads go on either side of it. There is water and electric to the plot.

There are no close neighbours and good views across the countryside.

TOP OFFER BECAUSE: A good sized building plot, not too far away from coast and good value for money.

Price: 4,500 Euros (plus commission)

In its time this was the best house in the village but has not been abandoned for many years and fallen into rack and ruin, yet with some TLC and of course money, this would make a magnificent, imposing family home.

There are 6 rooms covering 130sqm and a plot of 1000sqm with lovely views to the hills and village. Accessed by a good, gravel track, it is 20km from Lovech in the village of Katunec.

It requires all new windows and doors, roof repairs, new wiring and plumbing, septic tank, internal and external plastering so is not a project to be undertaken lightly but it is cheap for the size of property and plot and once renovated, would be simply fantastic.

I have never personally seen this house but it belongs to a friend who inherited it from his grandfather and is now looking to sell it.

TOP OFFER BECAUSE: Well apart from price, with a little imagination and of course the money, you can just see what an amazing house this would be.

Price: 6,000 Euros (including commission) or nearest offer

This 2-bedroom house is situated in the village of Opan near Stara Zagora. It is only 24 km away from Stara Zagora and 30 km from Dimitrovgrad. Whilst Opan is not the most attractive village and the area is a little featureless, the house itself represents good value for money.

I considered buying this old property a couple of years ago but clients decided to purchase it and renovate for resale. Even prior to renovation, it had real character and now it has been renovated to a high standard, but keeping traditional features sure as the fireplace, wooden floors and ceilings, fitted wooden cupboards. I over saw the renovation and am very pleased with the end results. It is now a lovely 2 bed room house, ready for moving straight into.

This is probably the best house I currently have for sale, given the condition, the amazing garden, all additional features and utilities and the very reasonable price.

It belongs to very good friends (English) who moved out here to this property around 6 years ago and have done an awful lot of work on it. And the garden is fantastic.

It is situated in the village of Nikalievo, a 5 minute drive from Gurkovo (and Hemblass pass over to Veliko Turnovo) and about 40 minutes from Stara Zagora and Sliven and around 25 minutes from Kazanlak. It is a large village with all amenities. The centre has a couple of small super markets as well as other shops such as small DIY shops and clothes shops. There is a health centre with 2 local doctors plus a weekly specialist from Stara Zagora, a dental clinic and a chemist. There is a post office, bank, small gym, coffee bars, small summer restaurants (2 very good ones we regularly visit) and a bus station, train station, petrol station, church and theatre.

The village is just off the main road to Sliven and the Black sea coast and Kazanlak and through to Stara zagora. It is close to the Sredna Gora mountains where there are many walks, a small hostel, a wide variety of flora and fauna and the Balkans are just over the road on the other side so perfectly placed for those enjoying nature and walking. There is a river running by the village and lakes nearby with good fishing (Carp, Bream, Roach, Rudd, Perch, Pike, Chub, Barbel, Crucian Carp.....).

The house was previously the country residence of a highly honoured and famous Bulgarian historian and chancellor of the Sofia University. His monument stands in the centre of the village.

The house itself is a 5 minute walk from the centre but down a quiet (tarmac) street. You enter the house through a gate into the completely landscaped and lawned garden. There are then 2 entrances to the house. One is through the main wooden door into the hall and the other is into the large conservatory room.

Entering through the main door into the hallway, there are stairs on the left leading up to a landing area (currently used as a small office space) and two large double bedrooms. Downstairs there is a large storage type room (no windows), a lovely small living area/dining room and then a bathroom and kitchen and conservatory.

There are a couple of steps leading down into the living room and then back up again to the corridor leading to the bathroom and kitchen. The bathroom has an electric boiler for hot water, shower with half bath, toilet, sink and currently houses the washing machine.

The kitchen has a large traditional fire place which heats the water for the central heating and there are radiators throughout the house. There is plenty of work surface and fitted units.

The conservatory area is from PVC and gives a large additional living space with views over the garden. There is also an additional sink and kitchen units in the far end and two door ways to outside.

The kitchen roof has recently been insulated and re-roofed and inside has been newly painted. It is well decorated through out.

There is cable TV, internet and phone.

The plot is around 850sqm and very private. There are lawned areas and raised flower beds as well as areas for vegetables, main fruit trees (peach, pear, plums, nectarines, figs and cherries) and a large area shaded by vines. There is a large fish pond, separate barn and dog kennel plus irrigation system for the garden and pump and outside toilet.

There is also a large garage with additional room attached with fireplace, which could be converted to guest accommodation if required.

This is the prefect house for anyone who wants to move straight into somewhere requiring no work and who likes gardening (although local gardener could be arranged). Current owners are moving to a new house and looking to complete the sale sometime in spring 2009.

TOP OFFER BECAUSE: Just look at the pictures - the condition of the house, the amenities, the garden........
