    Description

    Ahoy! People come and go but the forest stays!
    We have a good chunk of land to play on! I moved back from the united slaves of ameriKa and have been blessed on my ancestral land. I am an advocate for permaculture, nature based practices, horizontal governance systems and freedom. I have been a steward to this land for the last 14 years and the forest we planted from seed is now full full! Transformed the land from a dead used up field into a thriving biome!
    I do a bunch of stuff, that is hard to categorize, but being a steward of the land without a career label is a blessing. We have an, intensive garden for veggies, a food forest with fruit and nuts, I go to markets, and sell, I teach courses and go to seminars. I build some things, There isn't much that doesn't go through my hands, the only thing I cant really find myself doing is sitting at an office. The land is way too vast and colorful to pass up!
    Come check it out and share with us and we'll share everything with you all.
    Everything from homegrown food,
    handpicked herbs and medicines,
    fresh eggs and milk and cheese from our neighbors,
    mushroom foraging,
    solar power,
    water management and independence,
    We like to go to the skatepark sometimes (often).... I skate and my son bikes
    raging bike rides and tours of the surrounding area which is a nature preserve with rocks, cliffs and caves also lakes rivers and deep, deep forests.
    The sea is an hour away so grab your towel!
    I love to work hard and enjoy life fully!
    If you are ready for an adventure full of fire and fun, holla!
    I also have my 7 year old son with me several times a year for a month or so, and he is just as wild as me, so get ready to be surrounded by two active boys on the land!
    Obviously, we wont bother ya'll too much, I own three houses so if you want peace and serenity you can always retreat into breathtaking views and solace of your own private crib.
    I dont like rules, I like understanding each other! Solid communication is what moves the world, not obligations and laws!

    The local area is quite cool, we have everything from lakes to rolling hills to cliffs and plateaus with deep deep forests
    there are quite a lot of cultural spots in the vicinity like rock monasteries and sacred grounds from ancient Thrace. Bulgaria is home to several mountain peaks above 2600 meters with the highest being Musala (2925 meters above sea level). We also have the Rose Valley. a super cool place which is the main producer of rose oil around.
    The Black Sea and Varna with heaps of life in summer is 40 minutes away. so when we get tired of peace and quiet we can go experience the never-ending nightlife.
    balance is important aye!
    holla!

Ya'll ge the vibe, there is space, there is the possibility for a lot of freedom and comforts.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    I have an extra car and some bikes. so if you know how to drive a stick shift, you are in luck. The nearest city is 15 minutes away just over the preserve and there is everything you would need to be entertained. i dont like going there much cause i find more value in the fields and streams and forests around here. But you are totally free to go explore historical sights and old castles and cave monasteries and waterfalls and all that! i have two canoes and some fishing gear and a dirtbike too....
