This property is located at the edge of a peaceful village featuring all essential facilities. It is close to the beautiful River Yantra and just 15 km from the great River Danube. The village is only 24 km from the lovely town of Svishtov. Coyly encircled by the Danube and surrounding hills, this long-established port and crafts and university town features a couple of mosques, sunken C17 churches, and a museum in the former house of Aleko Konstantinov. As a satirist, Konstantinov is remembered for creating Bai Ganyu: an itinerant peddler of rose-oil and rugs who remain one of the best loved characters in Bulgarian fiction. Because it was the easiest place to cross the Danube, Svishtov witnessed the arrival of the Russian liberators in 1877. Culturally, today the town hosts a prestigious Festival of the Choral Music. Some 60 km to the east of the village is the biggest Bulgarian Danubian port city of Ruse which, Bernard Newman decided, ‘belongs to Europe and not to the Balkans’. Ruse’s promenade down the main boulevard is one of the liveliest in Bulgaria, and the pavement cafes compare favourably with Sofia’s. The Music Weeks in March attract some of the best classical ensembles, soloists and conductors in Europe; opera, a symphonic orchestra and a theatre can be enjoyed in other times. However, if they are not your scene, there’s always café-life or the sights. Before you reach Ruse, the gorges of the Rusenski Lom River hold three sets of medieval Bulgarian ruins: the Rock Monastery of Ivanovo, the Rock Monastery of Besarbovo, and the Medieval Fortress of Cherven.
The property comprises a one storey house set on a plot of 500 sq. m. There’s an entrance hall, kitchen, two bedrooms and bathroom. The kitchen and bathroom are in an extension. There’s a septic tank and the property is connected to electricity and water. The property is unoccupied and it needs to be refurbished.
