Additionally, the property includes a highly desirable 3-bedroom house with unobstructed 180-degree views across an open valley, complemented by private gardens. A 30 m² storage shed and workshop provides useful space for maintenance and winter fuel storage. This house is a wonderful place for owners or managers to live but would equally be an ideal rental property.

Don't miss this is a unique opportunity for a wonderful lifestyle and to own a thriving campsite with limitless potential in one of Bulgaria's most picturesque regions.
