We are delighted to present this property with a wonderful location in the seaside town of Sozopol. It is one of the most beautiful Bulgarian towns famous for its ancient architecture houses, small cobbled streets and cosy fish restaurants along the water front.
Sozopol is also the oldest town on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. The first settlement at these places dates back to IV - III B.C. The undersea explorations in the region of the port reveal relics of dwellings, ceramic pottery, stone and bone tools from the bronze era. In the Sozopol bay many anchors from II – I BC have been discovered, proof of active shipping since ancient times. The town established itself as a trade and naval centre. It kept strong political and trade relations with the great cities of Elada – Milet, Athina, Corinth, Heraklea Pontica and the islands – Rhodos, Xios, Lesbos, etc. Its trade influence in the Thracian territories was based on a treaty with the rulers of the Odrissian kingdom back at the V century B.C. The symbol of the town – the anchor, present on all coins, minted by Apolonia since VI century BC is proof of the importance of the trade. The rich town soon became an important cultural centre. The ancient icons and magnificent woodcarving iconostasises are a remarkable accomplishment of the craftsmanship of these times. The architecture of the houses in the old town from the renaissance period makes it a unique place to visit today.
The property we offer is located in the heart of the unique old part of the town. It is an old brick-built house that has two floors – a semi-basement floor and a first floor. Each of them has a size of 35 sq. m and is separated as a studio with a kitchenette and a shower room/WC.
The property comes with a building plan according to which a third floor of the same size can be built. This is a golden opportunity for you to renovate this property and make it a truly amazing and stylish villa, your new home that you are proud of! Do not hesitate!
