    Hi people,
    I almost finished the process of turning back to life an old family clay house with the intention to become a gathering spot for travellers who obtain different skills and want to stay for a time somewhere and share their knowledge with likeminded people. I also have another property at the most picturesque spot of the village, with only 2 barns there so I'm turning the small one now into a tiny house with only natural and some recycled materials, so if you want to learn how to build something almost out of nothing and minimum expenses I'll be glad to show you! Most of my projects are experiments and improvisation so if you want to experiment together - be welcome 🙂
    The house I live in is almost ready and can host between 5 and 10 people but the living conditions are still pretty basic - there is no central water supplyment to the house but just a well which water is pumped up to a tank above the roof that supplies only the bathroom and the pressure of water is pretty low and it comes warm just in the hot days (in other I warm it on the stove or in bottles in the greenhouse which can also be used as bath), and in the kitchen the sink system is fully manual both for running water and evacuation. Also you should go out for a toilet and go to the next village (3km) or to the main town (10km) to buy your goods. Positive side of this is that even that my house is situated at the same center of Potsarnentsi almost all of the time is so quiet here and the village is in the embrace of the nature with so much wild life around the houses. And even that my house takes the most central spot the other side of my property is preserved as a wild mountain garden full of herbs, grass and trees where you can feel like in the wilderness and where recently I built so cool A-shaped greenhouse which mainly use as chill zone.

    The region here can be absolutely called the wild wild west of Bulgaria cause from my village starts a low-mountain chain which ends in Serbia, so from here to the border there are 50 km with just few small depopulated villages and a lot of unspoiled gorgeous nature full of greenery and animals.

    There is a project I have for the warm season about building a rocket stove and eventually a summer kitchen. It's not such a big work so we gonna have also time concentrate on exchanging skills (I can teach you how to built with clay and recycled materials, make apple jam, rosehip wine and more) and exploring the region by hiking, cycling and kayaking (I got 2 bicycles and 2 two-seated kayaks). You should also obtain some practical skills to teach. The main idea of my place is to host few people with different skills at time and everyone to teach each other, and doing workshops with bulgarians in the weekends.
    Also 2, 3 days per week I go to the city to work so by this time you'll be the master of the place and your time or can come with me to explore the big city too.
    I live by myself here. Only single people are welcome cause we'll share one space. Drug or alcohol addictions are not welcome.

    So if you think you want to live like this for a time feel free to text me and share about you :)

    The house consists of two floors. Downstairs is kitchen and dining room and upstairs a big chill zone with few beds. In the warm part of the year I sleep outside on the cozy balcony or in my greenhouse. Got bath but taking shower is still kind of extreme in the cold days. Toilet is outside. Sometimes I'll ensure the meal but it's mainly your responsibility to supply yourself with food! Option to provide you the food too can be discussed if you don't eat meat (because when I'm here I try not to) and if you want to participate more time for my project

    If you like unspoiled nature and mountains there is plenty to do here, also when we are more then 3 people here with different skills I plan to arrange small fests in the property to share with more people and socialyze. Next to the village is situated the greatest sight of the region - medieval church atop a rock above a spectacular lake where is also perfect for kayaking and cycling. There is bus from the next town to the place 3 times per week and train\bus stop 5 km from my house that is a connection with the city
