We explain what types of private houses you can buy on the Bulgarian coast — bungalow townhouses, houses in the Bulgarian style and villas — and how they differ. We also show which regions to look in for a home closer to the sea and which resort towns are worth considering.
Houses in Bulgaria are in demand among foreigners who are tired of the city bustle and dream of a quiet life in a picturesque spot by the sea? The prospect of having a fertile plot of land, your own swimming pool or sauna, a play area for children or a barbecue appeals to some tourists more than life in dull apartments within resort complexes. Besides, houses by the sea in Bulgaria often cost buyers less than resort apartments.
If you prefer this type of property and have decided to buy an affordable house on the Bulgarian coast, you are probably asking yourself the following questions:
- What types of private houses are available to buyers?
- In which region of Bulgaria should you buy property in the private sector?
Types of residential properties in the private sector
As you browse the property catalogue, you will come across the following types of private houses:
Bungalow (townhouse)
a type of property common in Europe, consisting of residential buildings designed for several families. In a townhouse, each owner has a separate entrance, a personal garage or parking space, and a plot of land.
Houses in the Bulgarian style
located in rural areas along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. Such houses are built in the style traditional for this area, with stone walls and a tiled roof.
Villas
houses with a higher level of comfort, on one or several floors, located not far from the sea or other tourist attractions.
How to choose a region
Those planning to buy a house need to take into account the specifics of Bulgaria. The thing is that the country's large seaside resorts are built up mainly with apartment complexes, while cottages and country houses are located 1000-5000 metres from the sea. This is the case in Sunny Beach, Golden Sands and Sveti Vlas. If you want your house to be closer to the coast, look for options in small resort towns along the shoreline. We recommend Byala, Kavarna, Albena, Balchik, Obzor and Sozopol. Suitable options can also be found in the private sector of Varna and Burgas.
The catalogue of the international real estate agency "BolgarskiyDom" has more than 200 offers of private houses on the Bulgarian coast. We will help you buy an affordable option with the required characteristics in the region of the country you are interested in.
