Ref. No. 9798: MAGNIFICENT PROPERTY OFFERED EXCLUSIVELY BY BULGARIAN ESTATES Bratan , Sliven properties



It is a pleasure for Bulgarian Estates Ltd. to be able to offer this outstanding, unique and luxurious mountain property situated in the village of Bratan within the area of Kotel. This property provides an opportunity for the new owners to utilise the facilities offered as a hunting lodge, a small luxury mountain hotel, a large family home or a secluded, unique but beautiful holiday residence for use by family, friends or other visitors.



The surrounding area is renowned for its exceptional hunting opportunities and also as a place where visitors can enjoy a relaxing, peaceful and ecological existence. The surrounding area is of great natural beauty, which alongside the wide diversity of landscape and generally mild weather conditions provides a quality of life difficult to match. The village of Bratan enjoys relatively mild winters compared to other Bulgarian mountain regions whilst during the summer it provides a much cooler and fresher air quality when most of the country is suffering from 40° C of heat and high humidity.



The property comprises of two houses situated on a huge plot of land (6,668 sq. m.) and is located on the top of a hill at the highest point of the village. Both houses have been extensively refurbished by the current owners over the last two years (completed in August 2010). The smaller house was originally built in the traditional Bulgarian style from stones and wood but has now been completely renovated in a spectacular fashion to provide exceptionally comfortable and modern living conditions. The much larger house was originally ‘part built’ some 40 years ago in a completely modern style from stones and brick masonry and has now been completed and renovated by the current owners to the highest West European standards to achieve a luxurious and magnificent residence which is totally unique.



At the entrance to the property there is a large and attractive gatehouse in the traditional Bulgarian style which provides some site security and also wood storage facilities alongside of general storage space for farm or garden tools etc.
