WOW!!! Love this home!! LOVE the garden! Ive just started looking into bulgaria to live and houses for sale, can you possibly provide me with more info on moving/living in bulgaria? Or put me onto more info thats useful? Eg...monthly payments for utilities, any other costs apart from mortgage payments! Theres been so much negative talk about bulgaria for years eg the mafia owns most of there, but starting to wonder if thats all rubbish?! Maybe you could enlighten me? 🙏 all best for you n your families future ventures! Regards Breeda

@@breeda8573 Hey 😊 Thanks for the lovely comment. The house is now sold, but my phone number is in the video description, if you want to message me on WhatsApp, I'll happily leave you a voice message explaining things. In a nut shell, the mafia rumors are mostly rubbish, but it stems from a time 35 years ago just after communism collapsed and the country went into chaos for a while. It's certainly not like that now 😊🙏🏼

Hi nice house just I realised from your drone view , the solar panel farm , how huge is it and who owns it, and also is their plans to expand the area with these panels, kindly let me know, and thanks for the great walk through of your house 👍
@alternativelivingbulgariaАй бұрын
Thank you 😊 there are lots of small farms like this all over Bulgaria now. There are a few different privately owned ones around the village, selling electricity back to the grid. I have not heard about any expansion or new developments in the village. It is nice to know most of the energy around here is green.

Brilliant house, I would keep it too if I could! Checks the box for areas I've been researching, except I can't be in the market practically for another year or two anyway, so I'll keep watching. I'm definitely attracted to being close to Greece and Turkey. Did you renovate yourself or hire a team? I also notice the solar farm at the end of the video, what or who is that for?... 🙂
