Familj / par eller flykt semester / landsbygdens reträtt med vacker utsikt över bergen

The property is a world-class resort-village within rural Bulgaria, somewhere that for me and my two boys together with family and friends have found a place of inspiration, relaxation and well-being - there is something very magical that touches the heart here pulling us back year after year.

I was originally invited to design and create a treehouse village in the surrounding woodland, fell in love with the inspiration it energised in me and invested in what I believe to be the "very best" view and location within the resort-village. The 'treehouse' contract didn't materialise and I didn't furnish the new property for a number of years, although fortunate to stay each year in the resort-village with my two boys growing up. In time it made sense to furnish and create a more lasting 'home' so, we created a modern and comfortable, well equipped space for the whole family to enjoy, entirely at Ikea but deliberately for relaxed comfort, every family luxury and a no-worry/no-fuss enjoyment. It has been successful with the opportunity of up to 8 persons sleeping [which we have done many times], versatile accommodation that is really easy to live in, keep clean and comfortable and simply walk-in and enjoy comfortable. I go there often on my own to stay and work - a "blue-sky-thinking" trip, take family to enjoy family time or allow my now grown-up boys to enjoy "boys-trips" with their Uni or workplace mates.

I am delighted to be working with HomeAway to create a rental income for this house, but my investment strategy will actually come from the future planned operation of the village by Ramada as one of their world-class eco/health 'village' resorts - right now is an exciting time to benefit from all that the property gives whilst being both quiet, relaxed and largely untouched.

The emphasis is a 'home-from-home' that you can walk into and immediately have everything you want - simple and convenient, no fuss. Importantly, the lifestyle emphasis is lots of 'outdoors-living', breakfast in the sunshine, many hours relaxed outside - perhaps with some chill music streaming to the smart TV/sound-bar and sunset suppers [BBQ or kitchen cooked] outside with beautiful mountain views.

The house is within a resort-village, modern facilities within traditional Bulgarian style architecture - taken directly and inspired from the many local ancient old-villages of rural Bulgaria.

One of the great benefits that make this resort-village and property really special is that right now the whole village is largely complete [some minor planned features yet to be built, like an on-site swimming pool and tenancy of the landmark/big-brand shops] and contract-completed [I've seen the contract] for operation-launch with a major international hotel chain as one of their world-class eco-resorts. There is no building work going on, in terms of living there - everything is complete , but a big benefit is that hardly anyone is staying there as the resort has not yet been marketed - so, it's quiet, free of any branding and just the most special place. It was built and succeeds as a ground-breaking eco-village and has won many awards. It has focused design on being a place for well-being, health and conservation.
