    Description

    Hi, I’m Jane ✨
    For the past three years I’ve been restoring a beautiful countryside property in central Bulgaria — a peaceful retreat made up of two houses, a traditional barn, and 3000m² of private land surrounded by nature. It’s been a true labour of love, created slowly and thoughtfully alongside my work in the UK.
    I’m currently looking for helpers with making a beautiful veg garden incorporating a camping area and fire pit. Also some help moving things around. You'll need to be physically fit fu and enjoy getting stuck in to a project.

    🌿 A peaceful escape in rural Bulgaria
    The property is located in a quiet village between Stara Zagora and Plovdiv, surrounded by forests, rolling hills, and mountain views. Life here is slow, peaceful, and deeply connected to nature — ideal for anyone looking to step away from busy city life and enjoy a more grounding rhythm.
    Mornings begin with birdsong and fresh mountain air. we have breakfast and start work about 8am as its cooler then . We spend 4 hours outside in the garden. Then the rest of day is your own to enjoy.




    🏡 What I offer


    A comfortable double room in a unique countryside setting with wifi and netflix.


    Access to beautiful walking and hiking areas


    A chance to experience authentic rural Bulgaria at a slower, more intentional pace.
    This would suit someone independent, calm, and happy in nature — perhaps a writer, remote worker, creative, yogi, or anyone looking for a restorative few weeks away from the rush of everyday life.
    ✨
