COMMUNITY PERMACULTURE FARM EARLY STAGES
HOUSE SITTING:
I need to head back to work very soon to continue saving to build this place. I would like people to care for the dog and keep the property maintained until my girlfriend and I can get back in mid summer.
There will be the old 4x4 for your use to go to town and market.
Easy access to the fields, forest and mountains.
Spend time working on your own projects, internet access and electricity available.
I could do with help in order to connect the extra rain and spring water storage tanks.
propagate vegetables, raise chickens, keep bees, cut and split firewood. I need volunteers who will be pro active in my absence.
LONG TERM RESIDENTS WANTED
I want to share the property on a permanent basis with the right people, it would help to build a homestead with animals and food gardens. Its too much for me alone. The valley has the potential for anyone to run courses or activities one day.
ABOUT US:
My name is Dan, I'm English and I work as a handy man during the winter months in the French Alps skiing and ice climbing. I enjoy living close to nature and exploring the traditional ways of living more sustainably and self sufficiently. I hope to build this small holding with a focus on perennial fruit and nut trees and berries in the remote Central Balkan mountains in a way that works with nature, keeping animals in the future to help maintain a healthy eco system within my valley and build the soil. I have been working in France since after the pandemic and I am now reviving the project.
Mela is a joyous border collie and will be very pleased to meet you.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

Alojamiento
There are wood stoves through out all houses to keep it cosey and to cook on. Two bedrooms in the main house, two in the guest house and a private off grid cabin. The water still needs to be plumbed in to the guest accommodations at present. There is also lights and power throughout the guest house and a fridge.
The properties are old, and need regular sweeping and dusting to stay clean. You might meet mice ants or squirrels sometimes.
All toilets are easy to use sawdust compost, fresh and clean, full toilet buckets need to be carried to the compost heap and emptied once a week.
The guest house is a pretty building but the interior needs refurbing. The beds are all comfy but basic and rustic as with all the furniture at present.
Share meals cooked in the main house on the wood stove.
Have a hot solar shower in the garden or a hot wood fired bath in the garden, or use hot water to wash from a basin by the fire in your bedroom.
Two wheel drives can make it to meadow on the other side of the stream but may need 4x4 towing in wet conditions.Algo más...
In this valley below the mountain it's hard to get bored. The landscape and wilderness is diverse if you know what to look for. Visit the limestone caverns and gorges for rock climbing or the rivers for swimming or the forest and highlands for hiking and camping.
If you want to see the city of Sofia it's only an hour and a quarter away by car and there are regular buses.
Bring your own vehicle and you will be greatly appreciated.
