Skoka Waterfall Bulgarian (Kaleytsa) Водопад "Скокът" ( " Лопушница")
We spent an afternoon at a beautiful waterfall near Troyan. A great way to chill out on a summers day. A hidden gem in the Balkans.

This is our little walkabout Staro Stefanovo, a beautiful Bulgarian village. It's such a lovely walk, and you can walk to the local woods which leads down to a pretty waterfall too. The first shop shown in our video is in the middle of the village.

welcome to my beautiful homeland
It would be interesting to know roughly when most Bulgarian rural properties similar to this one were built? I wonder the strength of the structures
Very charming place! I hope you can renovate it. Would be a shame to knock down such a lovely traditional home. Make friends with the locals and get their opinion on trusted professionals who can help out.
This Mr. Garcia is skewing data all over the place. I would discount what he is saying.
I love it. When will you start airbnb rooms?
You have a beautiful view from the upstairs window. I can't wait to see what you do to the place....🥰🇬🇧🐾🐾🧚🎃🎃🎃
Looks like all these videos got reposted two years ago. Is the channel dead in the dream with it?
secured?
So you have a plum, huh? Guess who will brew rakiya! 🤪
House tour 11:26
What potential!
Wow, look at those hills. Beautiful
Wow, we love your place, its exactly the type of thing we are looking for but maybe a bit higher in the mountains. We are only just starting out on our search. Your place has such potential it would be great to see an update now we are 2 years down the line ❤
Hi just watched your video really good house with lots of land..can you tell me please the situation if buying a house are you allowed to live there on a permanent basis..thank you..
Thanks. Assuming your form the UK and only have British citizenship, you would be allowed to stay only 90 days in every 180 days. To buy a house you'd need to set up a company first thanks to Brexit. We're exempt as Anna is Bulgarian.
Ok yes british and thank you for Info looks like brexit spoiled things..will be lovely when you eventually get it done. Enjoy it..
@@garyjackman4363 thank you! Yes it was easy before Brexit. Stay as long as you want and buy what you want. Now for example, as I'm British, I can't own land. So legally the land belongs to Anna 😂 But we share the house. She might start changing me for the apples!. There may be other ways around it but as far as I'm aware it's either by EU citizenship (some with Irish heritage get an Irish passport to open the door), or retirement with a suitable pension. Check 'Our Derelict Dream' on UA-cam they are quite knowledgeable.
I'm looking to move with my family just looking into online work what we could do if you have a suggestion that would be amazing love the house you have
We don't I'm afraid. Where do you live now?
@@nibbletouch7566 we live in Dorset at the moment
@@djryne nice. Really like Dorset. Have been to Portland many times. If I was you, I would try and get a job in the UK which can be done remotely. Get it done before you leave. The employer may not expect you to leave the country so it may get tricky if they phone you and hear the foreign tone all the time. But it will depend on the job to whether phone calls are required. I dont know WHAT job, but even a basic salary would be enough for BG. Some people come here and do the TEFL course and teach English online, but there's not much money In that, unless you want to actually teach in a school then it will probably be better.
@nibbletouch7566 thank you how's the renovation going
Wow, great piece of land especially with the mature fruit and nut trees. The property alone is worth the purchase price. However, the only word I hear when looking at all of the structures is BULLDOZER! Even when that building was at it's prime it was a pieced together pile of junk hardly worth the animals that were kept there. sorry, but, you'd be money ahead to clear that mess out of there and have a prefab brought in. This WILL be a money pit to say the least.
Can you recommend any prefab companies?
@@nibbletouch7566 sorry, just now saw your reply. Yes, I definitely can. I'm not at home this week and subsequently don't have access to my notes, but, I will be back in touch in a few days with a couple recommendations for you. Cheers ✨
Pressed play as I thought this would be an interesting watch as I’m hoping to do the same and then yelled out OH ITS TJ!!! 😅I didn’t realise it was you until I started watching ❤ hope you’re well xx
Oh wow this is amazing 🤩 So cool. We are well thanks very much hope you are too. Really hope you can get over here too there's lots of nice places for sale 😁
Living the dream, great potential 🤠
Wow, everything is extremely basic. Don’t they have proper houses with stairs in Bulgaria? So many separate rooms and areas with no flow. The video is two years old now so I guess you have since done some renovations.
What is the name of that beautiful village ?
Hi. We prefer not to say our village name online I'm afraid 🙏
I'm looking for property also , with Land 2,500- and more sq.meters. I'm not in Bulgaria ang surching properties by websites.
@@promotion1254 do you prefer beach or mountains?
Mountain
I'm 72 years and need mountain.
brilliant !! looks good well done
Make nettle wine
How much for dollars?
Hi I just come across to your video Im from Bulgaria (from countryside too) one more time i realised how much i miss home nice progress of the renovating your house keep the work up beautiful views! +1
Leave the tall tops for the birds.
What did you guys do with your suitcases on the boat journey? Really helpful video, we're looking at Drake Bay instead of Manuel Antonio but bringing tech (camera, laptop) :)
You can take your suitcases on the boat. They store them at the front in a room there. It's a wet landing, so you'll get wet legs when getting out at Drake. Once arrived at Drake Bay, the crew take the bags from the store, carry them and leave them on the beach with the people, but also people wait at the rear of the boat and take their bags directly from the staff if they prefer, that's what we did, and carry them to the beach ourselves. Have you got accommodation in mind?
Thank you :) We are sorted for Drake Bay but could do with a Sierpe suggestion if you have one?@@nibbletouch7566
A house for the price of a second hand car unbelievable
Looks like a big project you have in upgrading. With all the windows and doors replaced, I would think you also have to redo the electrical and plumbing. If that was here where I live that would be at least $100,000 . What is your budget ? The average house here is over $1 million and rent for 1 bedroom is about $1600.00 per month. That's in Canadian $. Perhaps you have the right idea to live a more simple life.
please update November 2023 how you going ?
Absolutely love this place.
Fab house and out buidlings, with fantastic views. Looking forward to watching the rest of the videos to see what you've done.
That walnut drink is made everywhere in the Balkans, not only in Croatia. It is called orahovača ili orahovac. You can find the recipe online if you haven't already. it is made from rakija and very young walnuts, at the beginning of June. By the way, congratulations on your choice, your property is wonderful.
Is there a video of the house belongs interior after the refurbishment?
leave it alone - scary
Amazing place 👍
Look at the "Z" at 8:58
Hello, whats the name of the area because im looking for something simmilar to buy in Bulgaria. Thanks .Regards
Have you visited Bulgaria before?
Yes Twice, Sofía and Gabrovo
So where about do you have your property ?
@@danielgonsalves5302 nice. I think the best thing to do is a road trip checking out the country. It's so varied and sometimes a place looks good In pictures but you need to get a feel for the village/town. We're in Troyan. Nice here, close to mountains. Also we liked the south around Rhodope region but it depends on what your looking for.
Do you know something for sale in your aérea?
What's the location? What is the name of the village? Looks great.
Hi Max. Thank you. We prefer not to disclose the name of our precise location online.
Hi sorry for asking this question, but why are you removing the old concrete plastering?
The contractors did it to buy new plaster on the walls? I have no idea. Can it cause a problem ?
@@nibbletouch7566 thanks for your reply I have zero knowledge on building works it looked kind of okay then you removed it maybe a new top layer wouldve been enough, but what do i know lol.. ive been looking at a lot of expat channels living in bulgaria im still on the fence on whether or not to do it.....
@@taterspater470 I wish I had better knowledge. If I had planned all this in advance I'd have done some crash courses in various building works first.
@@nibbletouch7566 but wow your house is looking so modern from what it was...
@@taterspater470 thanks so much. Hope we get round to uploaded a new one soon 😊
Hi. I know the video is already old. But i found that channel and now i watch many of your videos. We also leaving next year our country Germany and go to Bulgaria.I go on early retrirement. At the moment we looking also for a house with some land. Still not sure if we go more close to the cost or mountainside. We love nature and animals and quit places. If iam more talented for working on a house i will also buy a more cheap one and renovate. Our budget is limited thats why we try to find something we have not much renovation, or it is new renovated. We have 4 cats and thats why we have consider the environment. The Area should have a little infrastructure, at least not to far from the village. A Vet where also nice. The neighbours should be animal freindly so they can take care of our cats when we on holiday. Thanks for all the nice videos. They are very inspiring.
Hey guys, Thanks so much for the nice comments. Yes we haven't uploaded anything for ages. We hope to upload one soon showing how the house looks now, we done quite a lot. Have you been to Bulgarian before and visited any areas? We love being in the mountains area. It's great in the summer AND winter. The coast is only great in the summer (in our opinion). There is also a great channel called Our Derelict Dream' which you should definalty check out. 😊
@@nibbletouch7566 Yes last year for 1 week. We go with our van to Varna- Nessebar - Burgas- Plowdiw- Rila - Blagoewegrad - Sofia. Plowdiw was great because not that big and around are many mountains.
Really great. We plan next year to transfer to Bulgaria from Germany. Still not sure where to go. Depends also on our budget.
We drove all over the country searching. Nothing can beat visiting the house and village/town in person to see if it feels right. We are in the region of Troyan. Do you have any place in mind that you are considering ? South of the country was also nice, in the Rhodopes, but more expensive.
@@nibbletouch7566 So you are between Weliko Tarnowo and Sofia. Yeah the Rodhopes are more expensive. There is also a nice place, was recommended in Dospat. But also more expensive. At the moment we saw interest Objects close to Balchik, Dobrich and Weliko Tarnowo. But I'm also more a Fan of the Mountains. We plan in May going again for 2 weeks around and see what we fiind. How you found your proberty and you knew it is for sale. How you both decide to by something and renovate? This Year we must find something because next year latest September we will transfer. I'm not worry to live in another country, but more worry if everything goes well with find and buy a house we feel well. It should be my last station and the place for my retirement. I really like how you both do all that and always so happy. Hope i will once in the same situation. btw. Hungary was also on the list for retire. But it is too flat.
@@nibbletouch7566 I saw in one of your videos, where you save the bird, you have a vet close. Because we have 4 cats and a vet should not so far.
Beautiful mountain views ! Good property ! Thanks for posting .
Thanks so much John, glad you enjoyed watching ☺️
The ''holes'' in the attic are for summer cooling. They are a way of taking advantage of ''the chimney effect''. The air pressure on the leeward side of the house is always slightly lower than the windward side so the hot air is sucked out of the loft. No comment on how effective they are but they should work and are free. Keep them open in the summer and closed in the winter.
Thanks so much for this Owen, really appreciate it. We didn't know this 👍
@@nibbletouch7566 If you wander around the house you will notice there tend to be none on the northern side.
You do realise that the out buildings appear to be unsafe and need to be demolished and rebuilt?
I don't, no. But I welcome any advice/observations.
Personally, I would keep & utilize all that wonderful old husbandry equipment that came with the property!
I grew up in a village and there are always village politics and gangsters. Do you get any trouble with the locals.
Not yet 😁. We only speak to a few people in the village generally.
I love your real videos
Thank you 😊🙏
I like Costa Rica too.
Which contractors can i hire that can guarantee their expertise for providing good work ?
I have no idea sorry. We have not had good experience with hiring contractors. What area are you in ?
@@nibbletouch7566 I was asking for lawyers you have used to buy your property because your wife speaks the language. .....But i have not received an answer yet.....I need to speak to lawyers first who can assist.
@@keepcreationprocess what part of the country are you thinking to buy a house though?
Beautiful video, thanks
