- Excuse the mobile phone camera footage for this week! It was finally cool enough for us to go for a walk down to the river, thought we'd show you the village and give you an idea of some of the property prices in this area.
Plus a little update at the end of what we are doing with the barn and Lee's fish farm!
Guys you are absolutely adodable couple. I just started following you recently and I think you are doing great in Bulgaria. I am Bulgarian, but living in Kent, UK for 7 years now. You are definity inspiring me to go back home one day and live a village life. Hope you enjoy your new different life, and good luck with this huge adventure.
P.S. your little boy is soo cute and soo happy, hope he enjoys his life in Bulgaria too xxx
Thank you so much for watching and your lovely comment Ivalina. We love your country and very happy here. Kent is also a lovely place to live in the UK 🤗 it would be great if more younger Bulgarians came back to the villages here xx
such heartfelt Bulgarian people...so kind and generous...sharing
❤
Oh the peace, oh the joy! ... I am moving over there from the UK. I am.buying a two bed with 2 acres, that has been really done up nice. They are selling cos they bought another property .. I am going out to see everything next month I am paying £15k and I think it's a brilliant deal as I am 66 and not diy at all. But it's has animal housing.. I never knew how easy it was to get over there. I don't know where you are but your area looks kove!y. The place I am going to has the goat heard and shepherds that walk through to the meadows.
I hope you get the young families to come near you. Shame so many villages are nearly empty ... I want to adopt some stray dogs and give them a good ho me!
Hi Vanessa thank you for watching and commenting and congratulations on your property, sounds so exciting and what a great deal for a finished property with all that space. You won't have any trouble adopting some strays here! 🤣
Hello It is okay to go there I would advise you to be careful these Bulagrian are very friendly but there is motives behind the problem you will face is the language not many people speak English if you are in a rundown area most villages are rundown The only people in the village's are old and when they come from UK the whole ball game changes The village road are generally very bad lots of potholes when you are driving you have to watch the potholes most young Bulgarian have emigrating and all the village's are empty so you can buy these houses on your bank card the problem arises when you want to sell your property and then you are lamberd with it there are property's for £2000 all your problem will arrive when you to sell your property
Another enjoyable video! What a lovely village and such a small population! And Hudson is a natural in front of the camera.
Awww thanks guys! 😍
The old man gave you some hazelnuts. He was explaining that they grow just like walnuts. Old people in villages are very friendly.
Thanks Simeon, they are so very friendly 🤗
Thank you for the video guys, you are so lovely. Me and my English partner are living in Devon but bought a house in VT area and can’t wait t come out permanently. The wall with the notices is a very common thing to see, even in big cities. It’s not necessary religious but a notice that a certain person have passed away so everyone else knows, people put their notices on the 7th and 40th day of the passing when you would have people gathering to commemorate the dead person. A bit like the notices in the newspaper here in UK
Thank you Daniela, that's great to know! Bet you can't wait to come back permanently, though Devon is beautiful too x
I'm American and considering buying real estate and moving to Bulgaria as a pensioner. I enjoy your informative and interesting videos!

They are hazelnuts or in Britain we call them cobnuts...I weren't sure it was the same guys who bought a 5k house but yes you are I only watched that 1st one at the house and I remember the barn had fallen down blokes dream is to have his own barn🤗...what a village stunning... I've subbed so will be watching in the future...loved what hubby did with the newts that one gesture will keep them going👍... American signal crawfish GRT on a BBQ... wandering what village your in... village and municipality because Bulgaria has several villages named the same can be confusing...just watched the extra 10 seconds hazelnut 🤔👍....
Hi Brian, yes we are the same ones! Thanks so much for subscribing.. watching and commenting! Got the hazelnuts drying and can't wait to try them! We're in Dedina in Veliko Tarnovo region 🤗
@@ourderelictdream you don’t have to dry them if you don’t want to they’re delicious fresh.
Love this video, we’re planning to visit as soon as the regulations permit. it would be good to be able to write a private note to you… is there an email address or FB page???
Of course! I've just set up a Gmail account so please do email ourderelictdream@gmail.com
The man was giving you hazelnuts to crack! "Hazelnuts for you two to take to crack. This is how you peel it, throw the rest away, you can break it open with a rock. Like a walnut! " and he was asking you if that is yours but not sure if he was talking about your house?
Thank you 😊
Hi is giving you a hazelnuts
the village is lovely
Great to see a happy family enjoying the moment
keep well and keep the videos coming!
Thank you so much for watching and lovely comment!
Hello I’m looking to buy a property that already has kitchen, gas, electric and bathroom. Love your videos
Thanks for watching and commenting! You won't find mains gas in the village properties (that we're aware of), recommend checking out our agent Ideal Homes based in Veliko Tarnovo for properties 👍
Such a charming village! I would happily invite that beautiful border collie into my household! No need to be 'stray'. I hope he does well. Please be sure to update us on his well-being. You two have done so well for you and your families! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you again Kim for a lovely comment. The village dog is still there and doing fine 😊
@@ourderelictdream Thank goodness. If he's still there and needs a home when I get over there next year, I might be able to pick him up. I have 2 Texas heelers who are excellent with other doggies. They'll be coming with me.
@@kimkennedy123 so exciting you'll be here next year. That border collie is looked after by neighbours, you will have an abundance of strays that can be taken in if you have the space. Whereabouts are you moving to?
What a pleasure to watch another video of yours! Thanks for posting. Loved to see the houses for sale, the tadpoles and the hazelnuts. What a wonderland your little village is.
I went for my Bulgarian visa yesterday in NYC. They said it would take 1.5 months to get it back. All is going as planned and hoping to be there by mid November! So very excited to for the adventure that is Bulgaria. Peace and nut trees sounds like heaven to me.
Thanks, again for the video! God bless you all! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Angela and so pleased your visa is underway, won't be long now for you. They are closing things up again in regards to covid measures until end of November, but hoping that won't effect your ability to enter. Take care! X
@@ourderelictdream thanks, guys! Yes, we heard some things yesterday we were a bit leery about, but if it is God's will we will get there. We'll trust the process. Thanks for the well wishes and the information. It's very helpful and means a lot..❤️❤️
Brilliant video as always x x what a beautiful village you live in x x I hope I get the chance to live exactly the way you do x x baby Hudson is such a gorgeous baby x x please don’t stop making videos I love them x x take care x x x
Ah thank you Sian, it's comments like these that really make us smile! Xx
Hazel nuts
I agree ...a school for the children but are there many children there?
Thanks Theresa, not currently no but hoping more young families will make it
Lovely video
Hi Lucas! Happy new year! We're not agents but have recommended a great one on our other videos. If you like ours it might be available next year! 😜
@@ourderelictdream Aww thats really cool Thanks for Your reply I will definatelly check the other videos and I might be also interested in the house that You own 😁
Great video of your little village. It's amazing that you can walk all around it so quickly and easily, and no traffic! You mentioned about the post, that someone comes and delivers the mail to your house once a week, does that include packages too, or do you have to go to a larger post office to pick them up? For example, if you were to receive a package from friends or from Amazon.
Oh yes packages come here too no problem, just taking a while due to the pandemic I believe 🤗
Hey love your videos and thinking of buying property over there myself, can you send a link where I kind find these properties for sale, please ? thanks
Thank you for watching and commenting! We highly recommend our agent at idealhomes-bg.com you can also find properties direct from owner on OLX.bg
@@ourderelictdream thanks alot I watched a few of your videos last night and found the links thank you so much
Leshnik is hazelnut. Orex is walnut
Thank you! 🤗
Hazel nuts I tnink
Thanks Vanessa!
Great video 😊 place looks beautiful 💚🙏
It's our little slice of heaven
Has the first property you mention sold yet?
Hi Anton, thanks for watching and commenting, since this video we've learnt those properties are not on the market.
I just found you as I look for videos of those that have gone before me. It's so exciting to watch you in your new life. I love that nature is so undisturbed too
Thank you Vanessa!
Thanks for showing us the village, which is so lovely. What is the name of the village ?
Thank you for watching Brenda! This is our village of Dedina in the Veliko Tarnovo region, very beautiful part of the country x
I'm seriously interested in moving over.. I'm digging for more information 👀 I love the homestead rural living.. and away from the western system ❤️ you need a neighbour 😁
I'm a plumber.. is there many ex pats or would it be easy to start up work etc?
Thanks for watching and commenting! Check out our latest video for a nearby property 😜 not many expats near us
@@ourderelictdream now watching.. thank you 👍
If you would like more info, just send us an email 🤘
What is the name of the village !
Our village is called Dedina.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Hi! Can I ask how has it been integrating into the local community? And what made you choose Bulgaria? We are so torn between Bulgaria and Portugal right now, one thing that worries me is the language and different alphabet how are you finding that? Thanks for making the lovely videos I really enjoy them! x
That's a really great question and thank you for watching and enjoying our amateur videos! It's hard to help with your choice as we've never been to Portugal. Not going to lie, you can't get by here without Google translate or an official translator for all official business. Younger generation (40 and younger) speak English well to communicate, so restaurants and shops fine. As you can see from our video, local elders we cannot communicate with other than hand gestures, but they are so welcoming in the villages. Our decision to be here was simply price and nature..let us know if we can help with any other questions that might help with your decision xx
@@ourderelictdream Thank you for your reply! I must admit the prices there are a massive factor, it’s hard not to be drawn in when you see what you can get for your money isn’t it! And you’re right the nature there is just beautiful, we spent 3 months travelling all over Bulgaria this spring and loved it but I’m still not sure which area I’d choose, how did you decide? We’re in Romania at the moment and we were planning to drive back through to Greece this weekend but now I’m thinking maybe we should stop in Bulgaria and view some properties on the way 😂 xx
@@Vegainyourhealth oh wow, we can't wait to visit Romania and Greece when Hudson is older. You've probably seen more of Bulgaria than we have, we only ever viewed this one property and spent a week in Veliko Tarnovo and fell in love! We don't procrastinate too much and just jump into things. We have friends who have been here for 6 months and still couldn't decide which area to be in! I definitely recommend having a look at some if you're coming through anyway!
Hello, sorry to jump in but this was our dilemma for 2 years - Bulgaria or Portugal. We knew Portugal well as we had family there for a long time and visited often. The reasons we choose Bulgaria was for the nature, wilderness, mountains, strong culture, 4 seasons, abundance of fresh water and the wildfires Portugal gets was a factor. Regarding the people, we find both are kind and welcoming. In our first week all the neighbours in the hamlet came over with beautiful fresh veg and people also came from the neighbouring village to say hello and bring gifts. We were also invited to family get togethers, couldn’t have wished for it any better, peoples kindness here is quite moving. We can get by with the language, people really appreciate the effort and gives them a good laugh sometimes too! We use a free app called mondly which has helped and watch Bulgarian nature programmes with subtitles. Anyway, hope this helps and all the best :)
@@bccochrane1 totally all of the above!! Thank you xx
what village is that .im trying to buy in bulgaria
Hi John, we are in Dedina, Veliko Tarnovo region. Municipality of Zlataritsa
@@ourderelictdream thanks looks really nice there
Разговора си води предимно за лешниците. Обяснява как да ги обелете и счупите. Добре е да ги оставите да изсъхнат след като ги наберете. Сигурно наоколо в гората е пълно с дървета, и можете да си наберете колкото искате. Идеални са през зимата пекани със сол, както и орехите. Също се слагат и в печени кексове. Съберете орехите от дървото и ги сложете в щайги да изсъхнат не в торби. Орехите могат да се ядат и зелени като се бели тънката ципа на ядката след като се счупи. Но пръстите ви ще станат тъмни поради високото съдържание на йод в зелената гора на орехите.
Thank you so very much for the translation!! I can't wait to bake with them when they are ready
The conversation is mainly about hazelnuts. Explains how to peel and break them. It is good to let them dry after picking them. Probably around the forest is full of trees, and you can pick as many as you want. Pecans with salt and walnuts are ideal in winter. They are also placed in baked cakes. Collect the walnuts from the tree and put them in crates to dry, not in bags. Walnuts can also be eaten green by peeling the thin skin of the nut after it breaks. But your fingers will become dark due to the high iodine content in the green walnut forest.
Аз мога да го напиша на английски. Но нали живеете в България. И гугъл го е превел на 99.8℅. Език най добре се учи като слушаш радио. Да свикнеш с мелодията на езика.
Успех.
@@ivanchokurabiikata7547 Thank you for that, very much appreciated! Definitely going to try and start learning more, it's very difficult for us! x
Thanks for the walk around, and a real big thank you for the wildlife!! Nice one :)
Thank you for watching!
Sometimes nature needs a helping hand, I'm happy to help when I can.
Thanks for watching and commenting, it means a lot
What about Varna?
We don't know Varna at all but very much looking forward to visiting in the summer 🤗
Guys absolutely amazing video .
that house at the end of the drive ,would it be possible to get a more independent video of it and some more info ie outbuildings , amount of land etc ? I'd appreciate it so so much as looking to move out ,in with nature .
I will talk with our neighbors to get in touch with the owner....if I can gain lawful access to the property, I'll gladly make a video for you.
From what we can see, there is a small barn/garage at the end of the garden with road access and the land looks to be around 1000 square metres with many fruit and large walnut trees. There is a large cellar under the house And has electricity and water supply
Only just saw this video, are any of those house still available for sale?
Am really looking for about a minimum of 4000m2 and a big barn about 400m2 with possibly a river or stream running through the land, with prerably a bungalow.
Where would be a good way of looking or placing an advert.?
Hi Mark,
The village is called Dedina. There are currently 2 properties for sale in the village online on olx.bg
From what I understand, one of them is next to the river and has 4000 SQM of land. Finding a barn of that size will be very difficult unless you look for a farm or industrial unit.
Good luck with your search 👍
@@ourderelictdream cheers, thanks for the information. I will check it out. It would be just brilliant if the river was part of the land.
Hi Mark,
I think that will be pretty hard to find here...back when people were getting their plots to build, rivers and streams are often the boundary, as owned by the government. It's not impossible, but you could always try to acquire land from the municipality that includes the river? I guess it would depend on what you're planning to do with the water and whether it would have a negative effect further down stream?
@@ourderelictdream thanks for that further bit of invaluable information. I will definitely try to get in touch with a municipality.
From what we have seen locally, the municipality are quite open to renting land on long term contracts. A neighbour rents 2 decares (2000 SQM) of agricultural land for 200 Lev per year (100 Lev per decare). He started with a 10 year contract.
This may not be the case nationwide, but in our immediate area, this seems to be the norm.
Hope this helps
Hello, just came across this video.. great one.
Can someone frim africa relocate to bulgaria, by buying a property?
Thanks for commenting! Buying property does not mean you can reside in Bulgaria. As a tourist you can stay for 90 days in every 180. You need to look into Visa D to reside. Feel free to email us for advice. ourderelictdream@gmail.com
I would love to buy a house there I have been to Bulgaria many times
Sounds like a holiday home is calling to you!
@@ourderelictdream do you have a website of the homes for sale in that area
@@TheFlavorfulKitchen we have one property for sale in our village on our website www.ourderelictdream.com. in the VT area try www.idealhomes-bg.com
@@TheFlavorfulKitchen do send us an email with your requirements and we'd be more than happy to help! ourderelictdream@gmail.com
Hazelnuts 🤣
Did you find the auto stabilise setting on the UA-cam editor? Id Definitely try and find it before you spend money on gimbals and stuff. You might find its good enough.
Oh yes Dale I completely forgot about your advice with that..rushed this one this afternoon!
@@ourderelictdream Money doesn't grow on trees haha.... BUT 5k for a patch of land anywhere is unbelievable value!
What village are you in if you don't mind me asking?
Hi Jo Jo, thanks for watching and commenting! This is the village of Dedina
any chance you can dig out the link to the last house you showed at 60K? Love your videos - it really looks a great place to live
ua-cam.com/video/GizyNmYY1H8/v-deo.html
The agent have uploaded a UA-cam video of images of the property..here you go!!! 🤗
Thank you so much!
Hello, where is this beautiful place?❤
This village is called Dedina, just slightly south east of Veliko Tarnovo
What is the name of your village?
Dedina 👍
Will love to see more videos on the properties around the village.
Currently none for sale in this village. Check out our website for available properties. www.ourderelictdream.com
@@ourderelictdream Thanks a bunch.
I've been looking at Bulgarian properties on line for a while now. There seem to be almost no small rural properties; either buildings or land. Do such things exist? I wondered if maybe such properties if they did exist tended to be occupied and that most of those for sale were those that had proved too big for their elderly owners and had fallen into disrepair.
I also wondered if some (or many) places housed multigenerational families as a lot of them seem to have beds in most rooms.
Thanks for the video. It's interesting to see where you live. Those two gents seem like nice people. I wonder if they've lived there their whole lives.
That's seems a shame, I'm sure there are still many to be had. Try looking at OLX.bg as that website is direct from owners as opposed to agents. Always a good idea to visit the areas and ask around..we know they are still out there! Plenty of options on properties that need a lot of work if you're open to that?!
@@ourderelictdream The property I've seen which appeals to me most is a summer kitchen with a shower added. A young Bulgarian couple are living in it. The main house is uninhabitable, but I don't want a main house. I'm single in my 60's.
I'll check out that site, thanks.
@@cornishhh I can't believe there isn't the right place for you somewhere! If anything pops up on our local Facebook groups we'll let you know!
@@ourderelictdream Thanks, but I'm the worlds worst procrastinator! Ideally I'd want to know for certain that I could stay for more than 3 months and in order to have the money to do that I'd have to sell my house here. I'd be more inclined to rent initially anyway.
@@ourderelictdreamDanke für den Hinweis. In welcher Gegend/ Dorf wohnen sie? Haben sie ihr Fischunternehmen schon aufgebaut?
Ich habe das Video gerade erst entdeckt.
Последното да се чете КОРА на орехите.
Thank you for the help!
Hi! What is the name of the village?
Hi JR, the village is Dedina ☺️
@@ourderelictdream thank you! :)
That was a lovely video. Thank you for putting that up.
I’m currently looking at £5k buildings anywhere in the peaceful countryside of Bulgaria. So please do let me know if you know half decent ones. I thought about getting a cheap derelict one, knocking it down (with planning permission) and building one made out of straw-bales or sand/earth bags. I dream too much so I think it’s best to buy something small (with decent land) to get me started before starting from stretch...hahaha!!!
I’ve been teaching in South Korea for the past nine years, and hoping to finish my last contract next summer, but don’t really want to go back to the UK.
I’m definitely going to carry on teaching (as I love it), but online as it takes some much energy and preparation.
Just wondering about the fish tank thing you mentioned at the end... is that like aquaponics?
Also, where did you buy your DIY power tools from?
Cheers!
You'll do great out here being able to continue with the teaching..though South Korea sounds amazing!! I think you'll find it hard for 5k now for anything liveable but further south or further north can be cheaper (we're pretty central). Dream away though, building your own sounds great! Lee is an aquarist and breeds fish for local pet aquarium trade and really wants to expand..we would love to introduce hydroponics as well for growing veg..one day!!
Most of our tools come from Praktiker or Praktis, large stores out here, well priced, all online
@@ourderelictdream thank you for your kind reply.
SK is an amazing place to teach and live. Just looking for something affordable to put down some roots. Fingers crossed 🤞
Yes, you’re right, it seems that northern areas have more of the 5k properties.
I’ll have a look their website for diy stuff.
All the best to you all.
Looking to the next video! 😊
@@Lucky-bp4mr also try olx.bg for properties direct from owners
@@ourderelictdream
I’ve finally found a nice place, and bought it yesterday for slightly under £5k.
Guess where it is?
You guessed it.... The northern part. Slightly west of Montana.
Super excited to be (hopefully) moving there in the summer.
Thank you both so much for the advice.
All the best to the three of you & the lil doggy.
And all the best with your fish business, Lee.
Please show more of this type of video. Thank you
Thank you Dwight!
I think those are chestnuts
Thanks Dwight, we've triple checked online, definitely hazelnuts.. currently have them out drying!
They look like chestnuts
Similar! X
