OKOL Lake Park is one of those rare projects that brings together real estate, nature, hospitality, golf, wellness and professional management in one carefully planned destination near Sofia. It is an opportunity to own a premium residence with personal use, professional management, a rental programme, golf, nature, wellness and a connection to a five-star Pullman hotel operated by Accor.
A property for today, with a clear view towards tomorrow.
Set above Iskar Lake, with panoramic views towards the Rila Mountains and close access to Borovets ski resort, OKOL Lake Park offers a new way to own property in Bulgaria: a private apartment in a future resort environment, designed for personal use, long-term value and the opportunity to generate rental income through a professionally organised programme.
This is not simply a holiday apartment. It is a managed ownership opportunity within a wider lifestyle destination — with an 18-hole championship golf course, five-star Pullman hotel operated by Accor, SPA and wellness facilities, restaurants, event spaces, green areas, sports activities and year-round appeal.
A different kind of property investment
The apartments at OKOL Lake Park are designed for buyers who want more than a standard property purchase.
They are suitable for clients who wish to own a real estate in Bulgaria, enjoy it personally and, when they are not using it, have the option to place it in a professionally managed rental programme. This makes the product particularly attractive for international buyers and local investors looking for an alternative to the traditional city apartment.
For foreign buyers, this is a way to enter the Bulgarian property market through a product that is easier to understand, easier to manage and supported by an international hospitality environment. It offers an alternative to the standard urban apartment: a managed property in a developing destination with several potential sources of demand throughout the year.
Own your apartment. Use it personally. Let it work for you when you are away.
When included in the rental programme, the apartment can be offered to guests under a unified hotel-style model. The owner does not need to deal directly with reservations, guest communication, pricing, cleaning, ongoing maintenance or daily rental management.
OKOL Lake Park is located in the area of Gorni Okol village, in Samokov Municipality, in a scenic natural setting above Iskar Lake. The project sits between Sofia, Samokov and Borovets — combining proximity to the Bulgarian capital with access to mountains, water, golf and clean air.
The location is one of the project’s strongest advantages. Sofia is Bulgaria’s largest business, aviation and purchasing-power centre, while OKOL Lake Park offers a completely different environment within easy reach of the city. This creates strong potential for weekend stays, short escapes, longer holidays, remote working and business-related visits.
The setting above Iskar Lake gives the project a sense of space, privacy and connection with nature. Views towards the lake, the golf course, the valley and the Rila skyline are part of the identity of OKOL Lake Park and an important element of its long-term appeal.
The area does not rely on one season only. Iskar Lake and the surrounding nature support summer and weekend demand. Borovets adds winter and mountain tourism potential. The golf course, SPA and wellness concept, future hotel facilities and event infrastructure broaden the audience further, helping to create reasons to visit throughout the year.
The apartments
The apartment collection consists of only 52 apartments, arranged in 8 low-rise boutique buildings. The scale is intentionally limited, creating a more private and personal atmosphere.
The buildings are positioned on a gentle slope within the wider estate. Ground-floor apartments benefit from private landscaped gardens, while upper-floor homes offer terraces and long views over the golf course, the valley and the surrounding landscape.
The apartments include:
• one-bedroom and two-bedroom layouts;
• total areas from approximately 48 sq.m. to 98 sq.m.;
• private gardens for the ground-floor homes;
• terraces for upper-floor apartments;
• one parking space with each one-bedroom apartment;
• two parking spaces with each two-bedroom apartment;
• completion in Premium Standard.
‘Premium Standard’ Completion – a finished product with no need for additional fit-out
One of the key strengths of this investment product is that the apartments are delivered completed to ‘Premium Standard’, in line with the overall design concept of the development and with the aim of maintaining a consistent resort-wide standard.
The quoted prices include finished floors, walls and ceilings, internal doors, fully fitted bathrooms, kitchen units, lighting throughout - all fixed furniture and permanently installed elements. High-quality materials and systems are used, including Reynaers aluminium facade systems with triple glazing, Roca bathroom fittings, kitchen units with a Teka sink and mixer tap, multi-split heating and cooling, as well as solutions aligned with the overall architectural and technical standards of OKOL Lake Park.
For clients seeking a fully completed hotel-style interior, a Pullman Style Interior package will be available at an additional cost.
For the buyer, this means fewer risks, fewer decisions to make after completion and a clearer route to using or letting the property. For the rental programme, this is a key advantage: all apartments follow a consistent standard, making them easier to manage, market and position as part of a unified hotel product.
