A mountain called Stara Planina separates Bulgaria in two major parts. It goes from west to east. On the north side it borders Romania, to the south Turkey and Greece, to the west Serbia and to the east the Black Sea. You will find temperatures in the south much hotter than the north with temperatures on average in summer 30°C. Most of the houses we sell are in the south centre around Sofia with flights daily and the motorway leads direct to all the villages and large towns. Most of the houses are only one-hour drive away and close to the towns of Pazardzhik, Plovdiv, Pamporovo and Borovets. You will have plenty to do in any of the places you buy, as the south is the most developed part of Bulgaria. There are good schools, outdoor swimming pools, ski resorts, large supermarkets only 15 min. drive away. You will find village life is a safe place for children and crime rate is very low.
In the south of Bulgaria you will find most houses come with very large gardens on average about 1000 sq.m. compared with the north 700 sq.m. Most of gardens come with fruit trees and vine yards. The coastal resorts are on average 200 km from the central part of Bulgaria. There are very large lakes in the south with great fishing and things to do for adults and children.
