At the foot of a picturesque Bulgarian mountain, in a region known for its nature, clean air, and rich history, lies one of those rare properties that carry the spirit of a bygone era.
This remarkable estate, part of the portfolio of Unique Estates | Christie’s International Real Estate, is now offered for sale and awaits its new owner - a visionary ready to breathe new life into an architectural legend located just an hour and a half from the capital.
Combining historical heritage, scale, and development potential, the residence represents a true symbiosis of culture, architecture, and nature.

A legacy with character

Built in the mid-20th century, the residence was originally designed as a representative property of state significance and served as a venue for official events and gatherings of high-ranking government officials of the time.
Today, the building retains its monumental grandeur - with dignified architecture, classical proportions, and a sense of seclusion that is rarely found so close to a major city.

Architectural elegance and a vision for the future

Set on a plot of over 70,000 square meters, the property includes a main building with a total area of more than 3,000 square meters, additional structures, a private transformer substation, a water source, a grass sports field, and a river flowing through the park.
The space is in complete harmony with nature, creating the feeling of a self-contained world - secluded yet easily accessible.

The possibilities for future development are diverse: a boutique hotel with authentic atmosphere, SPA and wellness center, corporate retreat, art residence, senior living home, or an elegant private estate.
Conceptual projects for reconstruction already envision transforming the building into a modern space with individual apartments and contemporary infrastructure - without losing the spirit of its original architecture.

The layout offers flexibility and functionality - spacious representative halls, living rooms with fireplaces, terraces with mountain views, separate guest rooms, and service areas.

A picturesque location with history

The estate is located in an area where history and nature intertwine, creating an atmosphere that is both peaceful and inspiring.
Just about an hour and a half from the capital, the location offers a unique combination of tranquility, greenery, and excellent access via an asphalt road.

Here, time flows more slowly, yet opportunities are modern - a perfect balance for those seeking not just a property, but inspiration and space for creation.

Tradition with perspective

With its impressive history, scale, and potential, this residence offers a rare opportunity to own a property of high cultural and architectural value.

For visionaries who know how to turn the past into a foundation for the future, this place is an invitation - to build upon the architectural achievements of previous generations and breathe new life into a legend, transforming it into a contemporary symbol of style, harmony, and prestige.
