Sunny House by the River in Bulgaria – 1,900 m² Plot, Garage and Private Well
Location and Setting
In the area known as “Kaleto”, in the village of Chomakovtsi, Bulgaria, approximately 5 km from the town of Cherven Bryag, stands this two-storey house featuring traditional Bulgarian architecture. The almost rectangular plot measures approximately 1,900 m² and borders the Iskar River directly along its southern boundary.
One of the property’s main advantages is its predominantly sunny location — ideal for people who appreciate natural light, nature and outdoor living. The house stands at the northern end of the plot, leaving a spacious garden to the south, with trees and natural vegetation along the riverbank.
The property is situated more than 5 metres above the river’s water level. The location combines an open, sunny southern aspect with natural shelter to the north, provided by the village and the surrounding natural elevations. For those interested in Feng Shui, the combination of open space and flowing water to the south may also be particularly appealing.

An Area with Historical Connections
The area known as “Kaleto” is associated with ancient fortifications. Historical accounts indicate that an ancient road passed through the wider region, connecting Nicopolis ad Istrum, Studenets, the area known as Chomakovtsi Gradishte, and Montana.
According to local residents, old coins have been found during earthworks in the surrounding area. No targeted archaeological excavations or searches for such finds have been carried out on the property itself.

Chomakovtsi offers a range of useful local amenities for everyday living. The village has a kindergarten and Hristo Botev Primary School, providing education up to 8th grade, as well as Alexander Stamboliyski Vocational High School of Agriculture.
A doctor and a dentist are also available in the village, providing convenient access to basic healthcare services.
Several grocery shops and a petrol station are located in the village. One grocery shop is approximately 200 metres from the property, on the main road towards the village centre.

The house is situated in a peaceful rural setting beside the Iskar River.
