Balkan Mountain House with a Spacious Garden and Breathtaking Views of Mount Botev

We offer a traditional Balkan property situated in a small and peaceful hamlet in the village of Selishte — a place where the mountains are close, the air is clean and tranquillity is part of everyday life. The village is located only approximately 10 km from Apriltsi and around 20 km from Sevlievo, combining a sense of seclusion with convenient access to urban amenities.

The hamlet is situated on elevated ground above the main road, providing one of the property's most valuable advantages — beautiful and open panoramic views of the Balkan Mountains and the surrounding hills. The views stretch across green slopes and the mountain horizon. This scenery gives the property its distinctive character and a wonderful sense of freedom.

The plot has an area of approximately 980 sq. m and contains several buildings, offering both immediate usability and interesting potential for renovation and further development.

The main house is two-storey, featuring a traditional timber-beam construction and a built-up area of approximately 55 sq. m. The layout is typical of an old Balkan mountain house, while also allowing the space to be adapted to modern requirements.

The first floor comprises a basement, a spacious room with a traditional fireplace, currently used as a tavern-style living area, and a separate room with an old wood-burning cooking stove, used as a kitchen. The floor also has a bathroom with toilet.

Next to the house is a summer kitchen with a built-up area of approximately 43 sq. m, positioned between the main building and the shelter. It includes a living room with a kitchen area, a second smaller room and a bathroom. This provides additional space that can be used independently or as a natural extension of the main house.

A concrete staircase leads to the second floor. This is where the property reveals its greatest feature — the panoramic views. Imagine waking up in the morning, opening the window and seeing the Balkan Mountains stretching before you — with the green slopes and Mount Botev, the highest peak of the Balkan Mountains, forming the first view of the day.

The floor comprises two bedrooms and a large living room, while a small storage room has been created in the hallway. With suitable renovation, this space could potentially be converted into a bathroom for the floor.

The property also includes a 29 sq. m shelter, suitable for creating a BBQ area, as well as a large two-storey barn/outbuilding with a built-up area of approximately 64 sq. m. The building has solid foundations and offers an interesting opportunity for future conversion into a studio, workspace, additional accommodation or another type of space according to the needs and ideas of the new owner.

The property retains the distinctive spirit of an old Balkan mountain house, while offering something that is difficult to create artificially — an elevated position, open space, tranquillity and magnificent views.

This is a place for someone looking for more than an ordinary rural house — a place where the mountains begin right at your doorstep, and the day can start with a cup of coffee overlooking an endless mountain panorama.

The property is suitable both as a permanent home and a holiday retreat, as well as for buyers who see the potential in gradually restoring it and transforming it into a cosy holiday or tourism property.
