The 4005m2 (roughly 1 acre ) plot is grade 6 which is suitable for wheat & potatoes and similar heavy soil crops & is ideal for development. It is accessed by a brown road which joins the main tarmac road 300m away, where the electricity also runs.
The plot is half an hours drive from the Capital Sofia and lies just outside the quiet village of Borika. Ihitman Golf & Country Club is 10 minutes drive, the massive Iska lake is 15 minutes drive & Borovets ski resort is 40 minutes.
This plot is ideal for Commuters to Sofia. The motorway and railway to the capital are about 5 miles away. It is also a few minutes walk from 2 lakes. See Google maps on our website for a better view of the surrounding lakes.

The plot is also perfectly south facing.

Beautiful plot overlooking the Borika dam

The plot is approximately 600m from the Dam and electricity and water are about 300m from the plot. The plot is currently unregulated, but regulation would be easily achievable for about £2.5 per m2. Once regulated this plot would be worth in the region of £20 to £30 per m2. The plot has access on 1 side via a brown road and is only a few hundred meters outside of the village in a tranquil location.

The plot faces the Dam on one side & to the south it has a wonderful panorama towards the hills and trees.

As well as being a good building plot this land also has a good agricultural grade 5, a great investment in a world where farm land and food are becoming short.

The plot is situated on the edge of the quiet village of Borika. The dam is ideal for fishing & water sports. The Village of Borika is the end of the road, so no through traffic, so it’s incredibly quiet. The motorway to Sofia is just 8 km away, making this the perfect peaceful plot for Sofia commuters.

Borika is 30 minutes drive to Sofia, but is 45 minutes from Borovets. A new a motorway will connect this to Borovets in about 3 years. Once complete the travel time from Borika to Borovets will be the same as the expensive areas, yet at the same time half the distance to Sofia.

Agricultural plot with excellent grade.

This is an agricultural plot 1 km from the Sofia Motorway, just outside the town of Ihimtan. Sofia is 25 minutes drive from here. The plot is accessed on 2 sides by brown roads and has a stream running next to it about 10m wide.

The plot faces south-west. It has an agricultural grade 5 which is good for growing most things.

Lovely little plot right on the edge of town facing south-west

This is the closest plot we have to the Town of Ihtiman, just 100m away from the main Sofia/Plovdiv road which divides this plot from the town. Therefore electric and water are very close by as well as the regulated area.

The plot is less than a 2 minute drive from Ihtiman Golf and country club, the first Golf club in Bulgaria (see pictures).

Plots like this, literally just outside the regulated area are highly sort after as towns like this expand and increase their regulated area for free, increasing their value dramatically. Regulation ould cost about £3000 for this plot. Regulated plots outside of Ihitman go for about £15 to £20 per m2.

Ihtiman is the only town right in the middle between Bulgaria's 2 largest cities, Sofia and Plovdiv. It lies 1km from the Motorway and railway that connects them both. With Sofia 25 minutes drive and Plovdiv about 45 minutes, this is set to be a large commuter town in the near future. The town is already undergoing dramatic changes in its infrastructure.

In the coming years Ihtiman will have another motorway connecting it directly to Samokov and Greece, making the 45 minute journey to Borovets in less than 25 minutes, which will dramatically improve the value of property in this area. Ihtiman has huge potential due to its brilliant location.

The massive Iska lake with its sand beaches is 15 minutes drive away.

Road side plot overlooking Borika Dam.

This plot is 1600m2 (0.4 acres) and is perfectly situated just 100m outside the village of Borika. The plot sits up above the village and overlooks the beautiful Borika Dam. Electricity runs through the highest point of the plot (see attached plan, so perfect for building.

Borika is not a through road (its a dead end), so there is very little traffic here, about 1 car every 10 minutes during the day.

This plot was only photographed in March 2010 when the dam was being drained for restocking fish, so not much water can be seen and photos look a little bleak due to the time of the year. If interested further please ask for more pictures of the area.

This plot is ideal for one large house built in the centre of the plot. The plot is unregulated, but would cost about £3 per m2 to regulate it for building. Once regulated this plot would go for around £20 to £30 per m2. Regulation takes about a year.

Borika is only half an hour drive to Sofia, so is great for commuters looking for peace and quiet and a fantastic panorama. It is also only a short drive from the massive Iska lake with its' summer beaches and from Ihtiman golf and country club. Borovets ski resort is about 40 minutes drive.

Great for an initial investment start up or building a second home.

Plot next to Tarmac Road and electricity

This plot face south-east. The plots sit on the crest of the hill and has panoramic views of the hills and mountains around. The plot is presently unregulated. In addition to the tarmac road at the front the plot also has rear access via a brown road. The electricity runs directly over the front of the plot where it crosses the road, so perfect for development. This plot also has a good grade 6 agricultural grade which reinforces the investment.

The plot is situated before the quiet village of Borika and has no surrounding neighbours. The southern end of the plot adjoin a tarmac road and electricity crosses at this point, so it’s ideal for development. The lake is available for fishing and water sports. There is also a small dam in the opposite direction for fishing, just 2 km away. A further 12 minutes drive away you will find the massive Iska Lake with its sandy beaches.

The Village of Borika 2 km away is the end of the road and no through traffic passes here, so it’s incredibly quiet. The motorway to Sofia is just 6 km away.

Whilst Bulgarians prefer to live in the towns, foreigners or city commuters will look to the outskirts for their home and for panoramic views. Here lie the best opportunities.
Agricultural plots near to a road, electric pose the best investment. In Bulgaria you simply buy your planning permission, which costs around £2.5 per m2, so you can build almost anywhere. The clever buyer will also make sure their plot has a reasonable agricultural grade as this reinforces the investment as agricultural land has risen sharply in the past few years and it looks set to continue to rise sharply.

Just outside the capital of Sofia, land is very expensive, but in certain surrounding areas they can be 10 times cheaper if one looks carefully only a few miles further. One such place is a small village called Borika, which is 24 miles south East of Sofia, next to the A1 motorway. Land here will cost you about 2 to 3 Euros per m2, whilst some of the neighbouring areas will cost 20 Euros. On the outskirts of Sofia land rises to several hundred Euros per m2.

The Neighbouring areas like Dolna Banya are only 25 minutes from the ski resort of Borovets so they attract a higher premium and are around 20 Euros per m2, but are an hour’s drive to Sofia.

Borika is 30 minutes drive to Sofia, but is 40 minutes from Borovets. A new a motorway will connect this area to Borovets in about 3 years. Once complete the travel time from Borika to Borovets will be the same as the expensive areas, yet at the same time half the distance to Sofia, so prices will rise.

What else has the area got going for it;

1. Bulgaria’s first golf and country club, with ridding, swimming, driving range and tennis in near by town of Ihitman.
2. Just 10 minutes drive from the beaches of the massive Iska lake with Ridding, Jet skiing, quad biking, fishing, boating, or just good old sun bathing.
3. Ihtiman (5 minutes away) lies right in the middle between the 2 largest cities, Sofia and Plovdiv. It has a direct train to both cities with Sofia 30 minutes west and Plovdiv 40 minutes east. Ideal for city community.

5240m2 - £4950.00

This plot is 35m wide and 153m long and faces south west. It ajoins a brown road, which is roughly 350m from the tarmac road and electric. Its on the edge of Borika and is about 1km from the Borika fishing lake. It has a good agricultural grade 5 and with panoramic views its also ideal for development.

See the google map so see how close it is to the village and fishing lake.

There is no through road here so its a very quiet location, ideal for Sofia commuters.

Single building plot on edge of a stream in the very desirable Dolna Banya

This plot is 200m off the main road to Borovets and Sofia and has access via a brown road. It sits just outside the spa town of Dolna Banya, famous for its hot natural spars. (Water rises from the ground at 70 degrees C!) Its half a mile to Dolna Banya Hotel with its outside hot spar pool which runs all year.

The plot is ideal for a single house overlooking a gentle stream (to the east) with views towards the (south) snow capped mountains of Borovets. As the plot is small planning permission to regulate this plot would only cost just over £1000. Regulated plots in this area cost about £30 per m2.

Sofia is about 50 minutes drive from here, Borovets is 25 minutes and the new Jack Nicklaus golf course and Dolna Banya private airport a 1 minutes drive. As for location, this plot has everything.

Electric runs right past the plot so its perfect for development. The adjacent plot 094003 is also for sale (1732m2).

Highly worth a viewing.

Plot on main road to Sofia! 1 km from Motorway junction.

The plot is logistically situated right next to the main road from Ihtiman to Sofia, just after the first Ihtiman junction. The plot is separated from the main road by a band of evergreen trees and a brown road.

The plot has a very good grade 5 agricultural value also and faces south-east. Its ideal for communters, a logistics business or a petrol station as the motorway jucntion is literally round the corner, but far enough away not to be noisy.

Sofia is 20 minutes drive from here, Ihtiman golf and country club is 5 minutes, Iska lake is 15 minutes and Borovets ski resort is 45 minutes.

A future motorway to Samokov will reduce the time to Borovets to about 25 minutes.

Good grade Agricultural plot close to the Capital, Sofia.

This plot is a good grade 5 arable land and has access on 1 side via a brown road, next to a ditch and has a water main in the area. The plot faces south-west and is about 325m from the Sofia Ihtiman main road.

GSK PROPERTIES ABROAD LTD bought over 100 plots around the Sofia region 2 years ago at very low prices. We are now able to offer private investors a selection of very good grade agricultural plots at fantastic value in a stable EU country. Cheaper land is available, but not of this quality and in such a strategic position in the middle of Bulgaria’s 2 largest cities, Sofia and Plovdiv. Each plot is a Bulgarian Grade 5 which is suitable for most crops like wheat, Barley, maize, etc. All plots have brown road access and are close to the motorway.
Price = 65 pence per m2 or £2620 per acre. (UK prices are about £3/m2 or £12,000/acre)
Most plots have been uncultivated for the past 10 years, but this is starting to change. Therefore the soil still holds all its nutrients and has not been exhausted from over farming.

Land Owners set to become the Nouveau Riche!
Why is there suddenly a shortage of land? World population growth has hit a critical point & we now have a shortage of food & water. The population growth is about 80 million p.a., that’s 220,000 extra per day!
The problem is made worse by the following;
Land built on for the increased population reduces the land that feeds them. Due to growth, the World Bank predicts global demand for food will double in the next 18 years. Global warming is leading to a loss of fertile land the size of Ukraine, every year.
As we exit recession oil prices are rising and more land is needed to grow bio-fuel. A quarter of the US maize crop in 2007 was used to fuel cars. Over 20 countries plan to boost bio fuel production in the next 10 years.
People are eating more meat, which takes much more land than crops do to feed us all.
Over 10 years China has built cities on an area twice the size of Scotland’s’ entire agricultural area. Worse is yet to come!
Land grabbing –large countries are buying massive amounts of land in poor countries. Eg. South Korea bought 1.75 million acres in Sudan, Saudi bought 1.25 million acres in Tanzania and private companies are buying thousands of acres in countries like Bulgaria and Romania.
The UK can only feed one third of its population from its own land.
Last year an area half the size of Europe’s total farm land was bought up or leased within 6 months. India has lent money to over 80 companies to buy nearly 900,000 acres in South Africa alone. One company in Sweden bought 300,000 acres in Russia & Morgan Stanley bought 1 million acres in Ukraine. Approximately $30bn is being spent each year by rich countries on buying land in developing countries.
The above has pushed land and food prices through the roof. This is only the beginning! Wheat prices have risen 200% since 2000. Food scarcity and increased population will continue to have an exponential affect on land prices. Even the biggest recession this century has not halted that. Imagine what prices will do once the recession has ended! They only winners out of this potential disaster will be the land owners.
I’ve bought over 100 plots of land Bulgaria in the past 5 years. I consider this the best place to buy for many reasons.

Agricultural plot 25 minutes from Sofia close to Stream and Motorway.

Great logistical plot on edge of town near Motorway Motel.

Great little plot for a commercial unit, industrial, or for 5 villas for commuters. This plot sits 100m away from the main road to Sofia, right on the edge of Ihtiman town.

The plot is on the tarmac of the access road to Ihtiman motel and there is water and electric close by. Ihtiman Motorway Motel and service station is about 900m away.

Ihtiman Golf and country club is about 2 km away, Iska lake is 15km and Borovets ski resort about a 45 minute drive. A new motorway here in the future should reduce that to 25 minutes. Sofia is only 25 minutes drive.

The plots' value is reinforce by a very good grade of agricultural land (BG grade 5), which means most things can be grown here.

Large Agricultural Plot, ideal for a camp site. 20 minutes from Sofia.

Plot 08172 – 11,758 m2 (approx. 3 acres) - £5950! (Incredible price for such a huge plot)

Two plots are joined together with a brown road at either end. They take in beautiful views across the farmland to the south-west overlooking the mountain range to the snow capped mountains of the Borovets ski resort.

The plots are setback off the main road to Sofia by 800 m, making it very quiet. Brown roads give access at either end. The land lies just outside the town of Ihitman, which is 24 miles south east of Sofia, next to the A1 motorway.

The plots have a poor agricultural grade (BG grade 8), hence the good price. However they would be ideal for development or grazing, as there is a lot of rock in the ground.

Ihtiman and its villages are only 25 minutes drive to Sofia, but are 40 minutes from Borovets. A new a motorway will connect Ihtiman to Borovets in about 3 years. Once complete the travel time from to Borovets will be the same as the expensive areas such as Dolyna Banya, yet at the half the distance to Sofia.

What else has the Ihtiman area got going for it;
1. Bulgaria’s first golf and country club, with ridding, swimming, driving range and tennis etc
2. Just 10 minutes drive from the beaches of the massive Iska lake with Ridding, Jet skiing, quad biking, fishing, boating, or just good old sun bathing.
3. Ihtiman lies right in the middle between the 2 largest cities, Sofia and Plovdiv. It has a direct train to both cities, with Sofia 20 minutes west and Plovdiv 30 minutes east. Not only that, it sits 1 km from the motorway that services both cities. It’s the ideal commuter town. Land prices around the cities are in hundreds of Euros per m2.
4. A large motorway Motel, with services and western standard restaurants, shops, currency exchange and play area.

Ihtiman town is presently undergoing radical change, with all its streets being dug up to install new infrastructure for future expansion. . Once this work is complete investment can not fail to come in to the area, due to its excellent location.

Prime Plot overlooking the Borika dam

{b|

This plot of over 1 acre overlooks the Borkia dam just 400 m away. The plot is big enough to take 8 large houses, and overlooks the dam from the crest of a hill. The plot is unregulated, but regulation for building cost about £2.5 per m2. A neighbouring plot 100m away is regulated and is now for sale at £28 per m2, due to its lake views.
Water and electric are within easy reach (250m).

The plot is situated on the edge of quiet village of Borika and has no surrounding neighbours. The dam is ideal for fishing and a larger lake just 5 minutes away is ideal for water sports. A further 15 minutes drive away you will find the massive Iska Lake, which you can see on the plan to the right. Borika is 5km NE of Iska Lake.

The land has a good arable grade which backs up the investment. It’s a Bulgarian grade 5, which means it’s very good for wheat or potatoes etc. This is still a great investment, even for arable value, let alone is development potential near a lake.

Borika is 30 minutes drive to Sofia, but is 40 minutes from Borovets. A new a motorway will connect this to Borovets in about 3 years. Once complete the travel time from Borika to Borovets will be the same as the expensive areas, yet at the same time half the distance to Sofia.

Over 1 acre. Great Agricultural land with Development potential

This plot is ideally set back off the main road to Sofia by 425 metres. It has brown road access and faces the south-west to take in great views of the valley and mountain range. The size of the plot means it would be ideal for about 9 large houses. Water mains are on site and electricity is within reach. The adjacent plot is also for sale of 1001m2. Both plots have a good agricultural grade, 6.

Its location, just 2km away from the Sofia Motorway and just 20 minutes drive to Sofia, gives this great potential for commuters to live outside of Bulgaria's largest and overcrowded city.

It is just outside the town of Ihitman, yet far enough away to be quiet. There are panoramic views to the surrounding mountains, and it’s just 2 km from the motorway junction.

The farmland has watering points all over supplied by large water mains. Its location and facilities make it ideal for a camping or caravan site also.

Ihtiman town is presently undergoing radical change, with all its streets being dug up to install new infrastructure for future expansion. The town is reminiscent of old East German. Once this work is complete investment can not fail to come in to the area, due to its excellent location.

Whilst Bulgarians prefer to live in the towns, foreigners or city commuters will look to the outskirts or neighbouring villages for panoramic views. Here lie the best opportunities.

Agricultural plots near to a road, with water and electric pose the best investment. In Bulgaria you simply buy your planning permission, which costs around two Euros per m2, so you can build almost anywhere. The clever buyer will also make sure their plot has a reasonable agricultural grade as this reinforces the investment as agricultural land has risen sharply in the past few years and it looks set to continue.

Hilltop plot overlooking small lake.

This is one of 5 plots situated around the edge of a semi-filled lake. The bank was broken and most of the water ran out. Local firms have quoted about £2500 to repair it, after which the lake level will be naturally restored and a development could be made around the lake.

These plots are the closest to Sofia we have and just over 1km from the Motorway so perfect for a 20 minute commuter drive to Sofia.

The plots are all of low agricultural value. They are grade 8 so are suitable for grazing or building on. The plots range in distance from the main Sofia road by 100m to 600m. This plot is about 300m, but it sits 200m from the edge of the lake and is joined by 2 other plots of 5490m2 & 4000m2 on the south-east end which touches the lake & is also for sale. It has a perfect orientation towards the lake and south-west views over the lake and mountains.

The Sofia Motorway junction is just 1km away, so perfect for commuters. We only bought the plots that are south-west facing and overlooking the lake.

Entrance to the plots is off the main road to Sofia & is via a large lay-by with plenty of parking. These plots would also be ideal for a camp site or caravan park. The plots are unregulated. Regulation costs approximately £2.5 per m2, in order to build. The South-west facing view overlooks the valley and mountains and Borovets ski resort can be seen from here on a clear day.

Ihtiman and its villages are only 25 minutes drive to Sofia, but are 40 minutes from Borovets. A new a motorway will connect Ihtiman to Borovets in about 3 years. Once complete the travel time from to Borovets will be the same as the expensive areas such as Dolyna Banya, yet at the half the distance to Sofia.

What else has the Ihtiman area got going for it;
1. Bulgaria’s first golf and country club, with ridding, swimming, driving range and tennis etc
2. Just 10 minutes drive from the beaches of the massive Iska lake with Riding, Jet skiing, quad biking, fishing, boating, or just good old sun bathing.

Good grade Agricultural plot close to the Capital, Sofia.

This plot is a good grade 5 arable land and has access on 1 side via a brown road, and has a water main in the area. The plot faces south-west and is about 170m from the Sofia Ihtiman main road.

GSK PROPERTIES ABROAD LTD bought over 100 plots around the Sofia region 2 years ago at very low prices. We are now able to offer private investors a selection of very good grade agricultural plots at fantastic value in a stable EU country. Cheaper land is available, but not of this quality and in such a strategic position in the middle of Bulgaria’s 2 largest cities, Sofia and Plovdiv. Each plot is a Bulgarian Grade 5 which is suitable for most crops like wheat, Barley, maize, etc. All plots have brown road access and are close to the motorway.
Price = 65 pence per m2 or £2620 per acre. (UK prices are about £3/m2 or £12,000/acre)
Most plots have been uncultivated for the past 10 years, but this is starting to change. Therefore the soil still holds all its nutrients and has not been exhausted from over farming.

Land Owners set to become the Nouveau Riche!
Why is there suddenly a shortage of land? World population growth has hit a critical point & we now have a shortage of food & water. The population growth is about 80 million p.a., that’s 220,000 extra per day!
The problem is made worse by the following;
Land built on for the increased population reduces the land that feeds them. Due to growth, the World Bank predicts global demand for food will double in the next 18 years. Global warming is leading to a loss of fertile land the size of Ukraine, every year.
As we exit recession oil prices are rising and more land is needed to grow bio-fuel. A quarter of the US maize crop in 2007 was used to fuel cars. Over 20 countries plan to boost bio fuel production in the next 10 years.
People are eating more meat, which takes much more land than crops do to feed us all.
Over 10 years China has built cities on an area twice the size of Scotland’s’ entire agricultural area. Worse is yet to come!
Land grabbing –large countries are buying massive amounts of land in poor countries. Eg. South Korea bought 1.75 million acres in Sudan, Saudi bought 1.25 million acres in Tanzania and private companies are buying thousands of acres in countries like Bulgaria and Romania.
The UK can only feed one third of its population from its own land.
Last year an area half the size of Europe’s total farm land was bought up or leased within 6 months. India has lent money to over 80 companies to buy nearly 900,000 acres in South Africa alone. One company in Sweden bought 300,000 acres in Russia & Morgan Stanley bought 1 million acres in Ukraine. Approximately $30bn is being spent each year by rich countries on buying land in developing countries.
The above has pushed land and food prices through the roof. This is only the beginning! Wheat prices have risen 200% since 2000. Food scarcity and increased population will continue to have an exponential affect on land prices. Even the biggest recession this century has not halted that. Imagine what prices will do once the recession has ended! They only winners out of this potential disaster will be the land owners.
I’ve bought over 100 plots of land Bulgaria in the past 5 years. I consider this the best place to buy for many reasons.

Lakeside Plot 20 minutes from Sofia.

Lake view plot next to Tarmac Road

This plot face south-east towards a large lake one 1km away. The plots sit on the crest of the hill and has panoramic views of the hills and mountains around. The plot is presently unregulated.

The plot is situated before the quiet village of Borika and has no surrounding neighbours. The southern end of the plot adjoin a tarmac road and electricity crosses at this point, so it’s ideal for development. The lake is available for fishing and water sports. There is also a small dam in the opposite direction for fishing, just 2 km away. A further 12 minutes drive away you will find the massive Iska Lake with its sandy beaches.

The Village of Borika 2 km away is the end of the road and no through traffic passes here, so it’s incredibly quiet. The motorway to Sofia is just 6 km away.

Just outside the capital of Sofia, land is very expensive, but in certain surrounding areas they can be 10 times cheaper if one looks carefully only a few miles further. One such place is a small village called Borika, which is 24 miles south East of Sofia, next to the A1 motorway. Land here will cost you about 2 to 3 Euros per m2, whilst some of the neighbouring areas will cost 20 Euros. On the outskirts of Sofia land rises to several hundred Euros per m2.

The Neighbouring areas like Dolna Banya are only 25 minutes from the ski resort of Borovets so they attract a higher premium and are around 20 Euros per m2, but are an hour’s drive to Sofia.

Large Agricultural hilltop plot with views over lake.

This is a perfect plot for agricultural land with a grade 7, which means its suitable for wheat and potatoes etc.

This can also be used for development as it has electricity within 325m and has great hilltop views over a lake 1.5km away.The neighbouring plot owners intend to build a large house here in the future.

In Spring and winter you can see the snow capped mountains of Borovets to the South and other snow capped mountains to the North. A wonderful panorama!

You won't find a more peaceful plot than this. As well as being set 350 back from the main road, the road only goes to Borika Village 2km away so there is no through traffic. Sofia is 30 minutes drive from here, so perfect for commuters.

This plot is cheaper than the other neighbouring plots we have advertised as its about 350m from the tarmac, but still has access via a dirt road.

The Neighbour plot nummber 24 has been sold for future development. This plot (number 25) sits higher than the other so any development here would look over the top of the houses on plot 24, towards the lake.

The plot is also perfectly facing the lake towards the south east.

There is no water main close but tests in the neighbouring area demondstrate there is plenty of water in the ground, so a borehole would be the best option.

The last picture is of a view to the main road. You can just about make out the small electricity pole next to the road. For more view of the road area and electricity please see our 2 plots refrence Borika 031061 & 62 as they are on the main road.

Great Plot 600m from Ihtiman Golf & Country club.

This plot is ideally located on the edge of Ihitman 600m from Bulgaria's first Golf Club. Other facilities include a Ridding School, driving range, villas, Pool, Tennis courts, BBQ area etc. The Club is also famous because they built the club house around a plane (see pictures).

The plot has great views towards the Borovets mountains and faces south-west. It is accessed by a brown road and has a gentle stream running along the NW end.

Owners are hanging onto plots in this area as Ihtiman is going to expand its regulated area which should mean owners will get their planning permission for free. Plots like this will then be worth about €20 per m2, but it is not known when this will take place.

The plot is very close to a new Ihtiman by- pass, making the trip to Sofia much quicker when finished.

In terms of location this plot has everything. A really good investment!

Not only that, it sits 1 km from the motorway that services both cities. It’s the ideal commuter town. Land prices around the cities are in hundreds of Euros per m2.
4. A large motorway Motel, with services and western standard restaurants, shops, currency exchange and play area.

Ihtiman town is presently undergoing radical change, with all its streets being dug up to install new infrastructure for future expansion. The town is reminiscent of old East German. Once this work is complete investment can not fail to come in to the area, due to its excellent location.

Whilst Bulgarians prefer to live in the towns, foreigners or city commuters will look to the outskirts or neighbouring villages for peace & panoramic views. Here lie the best opportunities.

Agricultural plots near to a road, with water and electric pose the best investment. In Bulgaria you simply buy your planning permission, which costs around two Euros per m2, so you can build almost anywhere. The clever buyer will also make sure their plot has a reasonable agricultural grade as this reinforces the investment. With world populations expanding and crops decreasing, the rich of the future will be those with land to farm.

Lakeside Plot 20 minutes from Sofia.

Fantastic opportunity for the entrepreneur! This is one of 5 plots situated around the edge of a semi-filled lake. The bank was broken and most of the water ran out. Local firms have quoted about £2500 to repair it, after which the lake level will be naturally restored and a development could be made around the lake.

The Photos were taken in March on a very dull day. Normally you can see for miles. For summer pictures of this area see plot Ihtiman 017077, as this is not far away.

These plots are the closest to Sofia we have and just over 1km from the Motorway so perfect for a 20 minute commuter drive to Sofia.

The plots are all of low agricultural value. They are grade 8 so are suitable for grazing or building on. The plots range in distance from the main Sofia road by 100m to 600m. This plot is about 100m from the lake and is joint to plot number 08085 so both plots can be bought to make a very large one. The plot faces south-west with views over the lake and mountains.

The Sofia Motorway junction is just 1km away, so perfect for commuters. We only bought the plots that are south-west facing and overlooking the lake. We also own plot 61 next to this plot which is 8300m2 which is also for sale.

Entrance to the plots is off the main road to Sofia & is via a large lay-by with plenty of parking. These plots would also be ideal for a camp site or caravan park. The plots are unregulated. Regulation costs approximately £2.5 per m2, in order to build. The South-west facing view overlooks the valley and mountains and Borovets ski resort can be seen from here on a clear day.

Ihtiman and its villages are only 25 minutes drive to Sofia, but are 40 minutes from Borovets. A new a motorway will connect Ihtiman to Borovets in about 3 years. Once complete the travel time from to Borovets will be the same as the expensive areas such as Dolyna Banya, yet at the half the distance to Sofia.

What else has the Ihtiman area got going for it;
1. Bulgaria’s first golf and country club, with ridding, swimming, driving range and tennis etc
2. Just 10 minutes drive from the beaches of the massive Iska lake with Ridding, Jet skiing, quad biking, fishing, boating, or just good old sun bathing.

Road side plot near Borika Dam.

This plot is 4681m2 (1.2 acres) and is perfectly situated just 1km outside the village of Borika. The plot runs along side the main road from Sofia to Borika and is about 200m away from the small river that supplies Borika Dam.

Borika is not a through road (it's a dead end), so there is very little traffic here, about 1 car every 10 minutes during the day.

The fishing Dam is a 1 minute drive away. Electricity runs along side the road on the opposite site, about 100 m from the road, so its ideal for building. The water main is about 1km away so a borehole here would be more suitable. Test have been done around the area and there is plenty of water here.

In addition the plot has a very good grade 5 agricultural value and has been constantly farmed for many years.

This plot was only photographed in March 2010 and photos look a little bleak due to the time of the year. If interested further please ask for more pictures of the area.

This plot is ideal for up to 10 large houses or a house and large garden with paddocks. The plot is unregulated, but would cost about £2.5 per m2 to regulate the area needed for building. Once regulated this plot would go for around £20 per m2. Regulation takes about a year.

Borika is only half an hour drive to Sofia, so is great for commuters looking for peace and quiet and a fantastic panorama. It is also only a short drive from the massive Iska lake with its' summer beaches and from Ihtiman golf and country club. Borovets ski resort is about 40 minutes drive.

Great for an initial investment start up or a small to medium building project.

Beautiful plot, stunning views 5 minutes from Iska Lake.

This plot has everything, electric, water, next to tarmac road, fantastic views and close to the Beaches of Iska lake, Ihtiman Golf Club, Sofia 30 minutes, Borovets Ski resort 40 minutes.

The plot is unregulated, but it borders the regulated area of the village (Zivkovo), so regulation would be much quicker than normal. Regulation would be about £2 per m2. Once regulated this would be worth £10 to £20 per m2.

The investment is also backed up with a good grade 6 agricultural value.

The views from this area are stunning.

There is a planned Motorway near here in the future towards Samokov which will reduce the travel to Borovets ski resort from 40 minutes to 20 minutes, making this area very affluent.

2.5 acres. Great Agricultural land with Development potential

This is a large plot and ideally set back off the main road to Sofia by 450 metres. It has brown road access at both ends and faces the south-west to take in great views of the valley and mountain range. The size of the plot means it would be ideal for over 20 large houses. Water mains are on site and electricity is within reach. The adjacent plot is also for sale of 4399m2. Both plots have a good agricultural grade, 6.

It is just outside the town of Ihitman, yet far enough away to be quiet. There are panoramic views to the surrounding mountains, and it’s just 2 km from the motorway junction. Three plots close by have been sold to a Greek investor, so development and new infrastructure here will push prices higher as & when building starts. This plot also has a good agricultural value (BG grade 6) suitable for crops like wheat. The farmland has watering points all over supplied by large water mains. Its location and facilities make it ideal for a camping or caravan site also.

Just outside the capital of Sofia, land is very expensive, but in certain surrounding areas they can be 10 times cheaper if one looks carefully only a few miles further. One such town is Ihtiman, which is 24 miles south East of Sofia, next to the A1 motorway. Land there will cost you about 2 to 3 Euros per m2, whilst some of the neighbouring areas will cost 20 Euros. On the outskirts of Sofia land rises to several hundred Euros per m2.

The Neighbouring areas like Dolna Banya are only 25 minutes from the ski resort of Borovets so they attract a higher premium and are around 20 Euros per m2, but are an hour’s drive to Sofia.

This is one of the quietest & most beautiful plots we have come across. This long plot takes in perfectly south facing views to the snow capped mountains of Borovets. At one end it is joined by a gently flowing stream. The plot is at the back of town in a very peaceful setting. In summer one can enjoy the huge array of natural flowers and the only noise is that of gently buzzing bees.
The plot is big enough to take 5 to 6 large villas, or 15 to 20 apartments. Electric is on site and water is close by. The ski run can be seen from this plot (just above the houses in the main picture).
In the nearby town of Dolna Banya there are hotels with outdoor swimming pools, heated by hot underground springs, and are open to all who want to come and swim, sun bath, or the enjoy the outside bars, which are very busy in the summer months. There is also a massive German indoor spa project due in the next few years. The Jack Nicholas golf club is due to finish in the summer of 2010. All are a few minutes drive.
In winter we have the famous Borovets Ski resort just 15 minutes drive up the mountain.
Raduil is the last town on this side to the mountains to get a ski lift. Raduil is part of the Super Borovets Project to make Borovets the largest ski resort in Bulgaria. The far side of the mountain will be developed first, so prices on this side are currently much lower, compared to the 50 to 100 Euros per m2 you would expect to pay on the Samokov side. So this has a wonderful investment potential. Sitting at 900 m below Borovets Ski Resort, Raduil lies in the middle between Borovets and the new Jack Nicholas Golf Course.
Its superb location means it can be used all year round for skiing, golf, swimming, sun bathing, hill walking and fishing, as well as just relaxing in the hot mineral spars.
PROPOSED SKI LIFT DEVELOPMENT
The plot lies in the Village of Raduil, which is in the bottom left corner of the ski lift diagram (in Cyrlic – which looks like “PADYUN”).
This is a gorgeous plot, and must be viewed to appreciate how good it is.

In addition there are already Hotels with hot natural spa swimming pools for use the whole year round. The new Jack Nicklaus Golf club is on the edge of town and is due to be finished in summer 2010, with 500 adjoining villas. Borovets ski resort is 20 minutes drive up the mountain, and in future the neighbouring town of Raduil, just 5 minutes away, will get a ski lift up to Borovets. The surrounding countryside makes this area one of the most beautiful around, summer and winter.
