Charming Mountain Village Property with 750 sq.m. Garden – At the Foot of the Stara Planina Mountains

We are pleased to offer this characterful village property located in the picturesque village of Oselna, within the Municipality of Mezdra, nestled at the foot of the magnificent Stara Planina (Balkan) Mountains. Surrounded by beautiful nature and fresh mountain air, the property offers an ideal setting for a permanent home, holiday retreat or renovation project.

A railway station is conveniently located just 3–4 km away, providing easy access to the surrounding region.

Property Overview

• Land plot: 750 sq.m.
• House: Two-storey traditional Bulgarian home
• Built-up area: 83 sq.m. per floor

The house is approximately 100 years old and is built using traditional timber-beam construction. According to specialists who have restored and inspected the property, the structure has become exceptionally solid over time, with the timber frame remaining remarkably strong and durable.

House Layout

Ground Floor

The lower level comprises:

• three rooms
• bathroom with toilet

This floor requires complete renovation, offering excellent potential for additional living space, guest accommodation or a recreation area.

Upper Floor

The residential floor includes:

• two interconnected bedrooms
• spacious vestibule (approximately 15 sq.m.)
• bright open-plan living room with kitchen (approximately 26–27 sq.m.)

The interior has been modernised with plasterboard walls and ceilings, creating a comfortable and welcoming living environment.

Efficient Heating System

The property is equipped with a fireplace featuring a hot-air distribution system, positioned in the vestibule to efficiently heat the entire living floor.

The system performs exceptionally well during winter months. Even after the house has remained unoccupied for several days, it warms rapidly:

• approximately 20–22°C within one hour
• temperatures of 26–27°C can be achieved shortly afterwards

Heating intensity can easily be adjusted by controlling both the amount of firewood used and the airflow outlets throughout the house.

Garden & Outdoor Space

The generous 750 sq.m. plot provides excellent space for gardening, recreation or further development.

An additional neighboring plot of land measuring 1,100 sq.m. is also available for purchase, offered separately at €21,000.

Features include:

• parking area for two vehicles inside the property
• large open area in front of the house
• front and rear entrances (the rear entrance is currently used)
• approximately 15–20 metres of mature wine grape vines
• two productive quince trees
• two old outbuildings at the rear of the property, suitable for renovation or replacement

There is also a neighbouring garage, and future use may be possible by agreement with the owner.

The nearby railway station provides convenient transport links, while the town of Mezdra offers supermarkets, schools, healthcare facilities and all everyday amenities.

Summary

This attractive property combines the charm of a traditional Bulgarian mountain home with a generous garden and beautiful natural surroundings.
