    Descrição

    I have moved 10km deeper into the mountains to start a new community homestead my second project in Bulgaria. This place has a much stronger all year round stream and beautiful clear spring water. The chance to see bears, wolves and wild boar.

    You don't need to go back in time to experience pioneering new untamed lands and begin a traditional (with modern tech) homesteading journey. Join me this autumn to begin installing hydro electric and building the workshop and barn, timber frame and wattle and daub as practice for the main home.

    Animals? Just the border collie for now maybe her puppy friend will come too. I hope to get her geese next spring and eventually sheep.

    Accomodation is camping and camp fire cooking. The last part of the journey is 4x4 or by horse or walking.

    Bring winter sleeping bag, warm clothes, boots and working clothes. A full kit list will be issued upon application ;) you can get stuff cheap when you get here. I have lots of spare kit let me know what you are lacking.

    After 5 years of work away hosting, I have decided for the first 2 weeks you can stay and take 4 days to explore the area, stay for free, but folks need to pay for their own food and just learn from me while I teach you about the area and show you the skills you will need to enjoy living and working here. If you want to stay on after 2 weeks and get stuck in after that, then I will start paying for food in exchange for work :)

    For food,
    Stews, Currys, barbecues, porridge, sandwiches, pizzas whatever you like!

    Days off to go mushroom foraging, hiking, quad biking into the mountains, rock climbing, camping and skiing, caving, mountain biking if you bring the equipment!

    Looking to build a strong experienced team for mid October onwards. We might have to pause for the cold of December and January. It depends on the team!

    Algo mais...

    In this secluded and forgotten mountain valley 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. In the winter I will go exploring by skis with the dog.

    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.

    Looking for a long term community too.

    Unlimited space for 4x4 campers. A spring for drinking water and composting toilets are available. Access best in dry weather. 2 wheel drive campers is probably impossible. Will update after I get the digger to work on the track.
