Country house with plot of land, outbuildings, quiet location and lot of character up for sale

Description

Beautiful rural home for sale. Nice countryside retreat located 150 km away from Sofia and 45 km north of Vratsa, Bulgaria. The house is ideal for those who appreciate authenticity and nature, seeking tranquility and comfort away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Accessible via asphalt road and just 500 meters from the village center, shops, bar, the local park, church, post office and mayor`s office. The property sits on a corner plot of 1150 sq.m. and is entirely enclosed by solid brick walls. The house offers an area of 100 sq.m. distributed equally between the two floors. This amount excludes the entrances, staircases and the terrace. The first floor is slightly raised above the ground level and is furnished as a guest house. It consists of an entrance with staircase, a 10 sq.m. big corridor (with WC) leading to a nice, well-sunlit, 12 sq.m. kitchen, main bedroom with area of approximately 16 sq.m (including shower and sink) and another room with area of 16 sq.m. which serves as both living room and office space. All ceilings here are high – 2.7 meters thus providing lots of internal space. This level also has an 8.4 sq.m. wooden terrace overlooking the garden. The ground floor is slightly below the ground level. Here the ceilings have an approximate height of 2.1 meters. This floor has the following layout – living room (premise with fireplace, sink and total area of 13.5 sq.m.), old kitchen (with area of 13 sq.m.), storage room (with area of 13 sq.m.) and dining room (with area of 12 sq.m.). The house is in very good structural condition, however, you will still need to consider the maintenance or renovation of the roof at some stage. The current owners have retained the existing frame and installed an insulated metal roof, along with insulation for the attic floor (a choice to prevent tiles from blowing away or breaking during storms). This also gives you the option of raising the house to make use of the attic space. One can choose to restore the charming, old-fashioned, double-glazed windows or install modern PVC or aluminum windows with or without retaining the original frames. Although all the living areas in the house are already renovated, the entrance will remain the perfect place to showcase your decorating talents. The garden offers a nice piece of land with many fruit trees such as cherry, apple, pear, peach tree, a fig bush, almond and vines. The garage has a mechanic's pit, solid structure and spacious built area of 25 sq.m. There is a number of outbuildings in the plot too. They differ in size, condition and use. The property has main water supply but it also has a shared well with the friendly neighbor. The village has a mini-market/bar and three grocery stores/bars, a pharmacy, and a doctor and dentist (2 days per week). A restaurant will be opened in the spring of 2027. A large international community lives and works in the village and the surrounding area. Fiber optic throughout the village provides good internet access and the ability to work remote. There are two very pleasant ponds outside the settlement which are perfect for walks in unspoiled nature. The regional capital city Vratsa is about 45 km away from here and can be reached with a car within about 35-40 minutes of driving while Sofia and Sofia International Airport are about two hours away. Nice country house with lots of potential for further development at a fair price.
