This 2 room house is situated in a pretty village about 32 km away from Stara Zagora and around 11 km from the municipality town of Nikolaevo.

Currently the house has a built up area of 80sqm comprising two rooms and a basement. However, the house is in poor condition and the best option would be to knock down and start again, building on the foot print. The plot is 1000sqm and very close to the river. There are fantastic views to the mountains and would be a lovely spot for building a nice holiday home.

Price: 7,000 Euros (plus commission)

This plot is directly opposite my house where I live. It is a rectangular, flat plot with water and electric going to the edge of the plot and a road frontage of around 30 metres.

It is just opposite the park in the town and only a few minutes walk from the centre where there are shops, cafes and other amenities.

Access is good straight off the main tarmac road through the village (same road my house is on) and there is off road parking to the side of the house.

Upstairs is a massive hall and then 3 further rooms, one with access to a large covered terrace.

There is an old central heating system with radiators run off a wood burner in the small basement, however this would likely need modernising.

The villa needs a fair amount of money spending on it - maybe 15,000 to 20,000 Euros minimum just to get it to a decent, livable standard. To repair central heating, insulate, re-plaster places etc you will be talking more money. The roof needs some repair and it needs a proper bathroom putting in, maybe in the large hall upstairs. The kitchen needs modernising and then all the rooms need general refreshing.

Price: 37,000 Euros (including commision)

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.

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.

Seltse is a very small village (30 inhibitants/59,73 sq m area). It is set in an ecologically clean, forested mountain area, suitable for camping, long mountain walks etc. The plot passed all municipality requirements, has regulation plan and set points for connection with water mains and electricity network.

It is a very pretty area and a number of houses in the village have already been renovated in the traditional style and turned into small guest houses. A track from the village leads high up into the mountain and passes a number of mountain hostels before reaching the peak, where there are magnificent views across the valley to the north.

The plot would be ideal for building traditional houses for resale as holiday homes to those looking for peace and quiet and who like to get away from it all.

Two other plots are also for sale in the area with regulation plan ready to be built. The first is 20 000 sq m and second is 44 000 sq m in the same area - these are opportunities for bigger investment projects.
