This sweet house is situated in a large, vibrant village very close to the Sredna Gora Mountains and with the Balkan Mountains on the other side. The village has a beautifully restored Rose Distillery, a traditional washing area where the locals gather to do their laundry and sit and have a drink while the clothes dry in the sun on huge racks, a clean and pretty river and a couple of cafes and shops.
It is close to the famous mineral spa treatment centres at Pavel Banya, a short drive from Kazanlak where the Rose Festival is held each year, close to a large reservoir and not far from the Thracian Tombs the area is famous for (as well as for its Roses) and the Shipka Pass and Russian Church.
The area is very good for walking, cycling, climbing and hiking and bird- watching and there are a number of mountain chalets in the area offering hospitality after a days hiking.
However the house itself is not in good condition. It has a hall with a room off to the left, a small room straight ahead with another room off this to either side and there is also a room on the right of the hall. On the right hand side of the house there is a mud brick summer kitchen and the roof on this has collapsed taking with it a little of the main roof and wall on the right.
The floors are also not in great shape. It is likely that the best course of action would be to knock down the old house and rebuild on the footprint. That said it is a lovely plot with two fantastic authentic barns with the possibility to either convert them using traditional methods or build on the footprints with appropriate planning.
There is 1000sqm of land. There is a stone wall in excellent condition surrounding the entire property. There are lovely views to the Balkans in one direction and the Sredna Gora mountains in the other.

This 2 storey house has lots of character and could be turned into a pretty 2 bedroom house. It comprises of 2 rooms on the lower floor (one currently a basement type room with fireplace) and then there are external stone steps to the second floor and a small hall with 2 bedrooms and a smaller room, accessed through one of the bedrooms. One option would be to use this smaller room to make an ensuite for each bedroom.
Overall the house is in good condition and is solidly built with decent roof. There are a number of small outbuildings as well as a large barn. The plot is around 1000sqm. Access is straight up a hard core track from the centre of the village.
The village has a couple of shops and a small restaurant serving basic food. It is about 30 km from Stara Zagora but as the final 10km is along a rather pot holed road, it takes about 30 minutes to reach the house from the city.
But it is a very pretty area and other British own holiday homes here. There are two buses a day to the city (morning and evening) and two small lakes close by for fishing. The area is ideal for those seeking a peaceful get away to enjoy the countryside, walks and nature.

This would make a very nice house. It is set on one level with a large terrace at the front and then a corridor with two rooms off it and a bathroom. The bathroom has all the plumbing in place and leads to a septic tank but requires tiling and all appliances fitting. There is a small fitted kitchen and dining area, and two further rooms.
The house is concrete and brick construction with stone foundations. It has a relatively new roof and a plot of around 1000sqm. The next door plot and barn are also for sale for an additional cost. Access is good down a tarmac road and the plot is private and not over looked by any other houses.
This property needs very little work except for bathroom fitting and possibly external plastering to make a lovely holiday home. It is set in a very pretty village, about 20km from Stara Zagora and in the mountains. It is about a 20 to 25 minute drive into the city.

This unfinished 3-bedroom house is in Yagoda, 16 km from Stara Zagora.It has the following specifications, area: 120 sq m floors: 2 garden: 570 sq m. The property is at a rough construction level. The owners started the building process 7 years ago and never finished it due to insufficient financial resources. The villa is on two levels.
First floor represents a living room with dining area and kitchen box, one bedroom, bathroom with toilet (some plumbing done) and stairs to the second level. Second floor consists of two bedrooms and a terrace (10 sq m) facing south, with views to the nearby Sredna Gora Mountains.
The property requires small repairs of the roof, internal and outside plastering, PVC windows and doors, some plumbing and electrical work and general finishing and decorating of course. Our rough estimate for this to become a lovely, 3 bedroom villa, in a beautiful spa village, is around 25,000 to 35,000 Euros depending on materials used and standard required.
The house is solidly built from red bricks, with concrete plate between the first and the second level. The roof is made from good quality beams and tiles. The plot is 570 sq m, regulated, with all communications- water mains, electricity, telephone landline and internet connection possible.

This is an excellent villa in a good, large village just off the main Sofia to Burgas road and only 15 minutes from Kazanlak and 25 minutes from Stara Zagora. It has a large garden in front of it and wonderful views to both the Balkans and the Sredna Gora mountains.
There are a number of small sheds and outbuildings, a huge garage and a nice terrace. Inside there is a small dining area leading on to a kitchen, although these two rooms could be knocked into one to give a good sized kitchen/dining area.
There is a large lounge and a downstairs bathroom. Internal stairs lead up to two bedrooms which both have access to a large balcony and there is a small room at the top of the stairs that could be made into a shower room if required. There is a toilet downstairs and then a huge basement with 3 rooms. The house would need probably only a further 10,000 Euros or so spending on it to put in new bathrooms and kitchen and do a little upgrading.
The owners have recently done a lot of work on the house, including external plastering, painting the outside of the house (pink), putting Kamak (decorative stones) all around the edge of the house and putting up new polystyrene tiles on the ceilings of some rooms.
The plot is 2000sqm, and a good flat, square plot. Access to the house is along a dirt track and it is on the edge of the village. There are grape vines over the terrace and along the fence, many fruit trees and very fertile soil.

This huge villa is not too far from the centre of the village where I live. It is set in around 700 sqm of land and there are currently a number of old green houses on the plot and an old barn and outbuildings.The actual villa itself is on two floors. The ground floor has an entrance room, a large hall and 3 rooms off this.
One room is a massive kitchen/dining area. Internal stairs lead to the second floor and there is a small and very basic bathroom under the stairs. There is a septic tank/cess pit. 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.

This fantastic property was purchased a year ago as a run down old house but has been transformed into a fully renovated two bedroom property.
Downstairs a small extension has been added to the front to give more room for the internal stairs and make a large, light and airy entrance hall. From this there is a large kitchen and dining area with traditional restored fire place. There is also a good sized lounge area with chimney for a wood burning stove.
Stairs then lead to the second floor where there is a good sized landing, a fully fitted bathroom with shower cubicle, toilet and sink and all accessories and two large bedrooms. Both rooms have wooden floors and one bedroom has fitted, wooden wardrobes all down one side.
There is a large open space at the top of the stairs which would make an idea reading area if covered with large cushions. All the ceilings have either been sanded down to the natural wood and varnished or painted white. The hall has wood paneling and is tiled right through into the kitchen. A fitted kitchen will be put in with sink under the window, plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher and space for a cooker and fridge/freezer. Apart from general furnishings and kitchen appliances, the property will be ready to move into.
It sits on a large plot of 1,500 sqm and there is a garage and small outbuildings. The plot has been securely fenced along the rear boundary and one other side and is walled everywhere else. The village is small but only a couple of minutes drive from the main road from Chirpan to Stara Zagora and the motorway junction is just 5 to 10 minutes away. You can be in the city centre of Stara Zagora in 25 minutes and in Chirpan in around 15 minutes. Other British live in the village and many foreigners own property nearby.
