No Ordinary Investment

A couple basic investment questions to save you a little time and help you get straight to the point:

»   Has Edeland Ridge the potential to do better than other European investments?

We believe so. This project is created to serve the growing number of golf, ski and spa holiday makers or home owners driven by quality and seeking a super lifestyle at affordable prices. The cost of holidaying in Bulgaria trails behind other similar destinations elsewhere in Europe, so the overall picture on this investment looks strong and safe.

»   Has Edeland Ridge the potential for real capital appreciation and will it become an attractive resale?

For a development so well connected to golf and skiing, we believe our properties are very well priced to begin with and not easily imitated.

»   Has Edeland Ridge the potential to be a real all year round investment?

If you mean; “can it be rented for 12 months of the year”, the answer is no. However it has the potential for up to double the rental period of properties on the Black Sea Coast that rely on the summer season alone.

This Investment Is Different

Bulgaria is an easily accessible country with many low-cost airline companies operating in the market. What is more, the Municipality of Bansko has plans to build an internal airport that will further facilitate the tourists flow to the region.

Different and engaging, Bulgaria is also a very affordable country, with prices being just a fraction of what they are in Ireland, the UK or Russia for that matter.

If you’re looking for a pure investment property in Bulgaria, we’d advise you to go for a high quality development, built by developers who know what they’re talking about, that’s priced reasonably and with a payment plan that suits you.

We also advise you to go for an investment that has strong potential to rise in value, one with convenient access to super travel and tourism attractions. Your search should begin by seeking a location that has a collection of natural resources which are hard to find or replicate elsewhere.

We’d make it clear that the strength of your investment is subject to the future demand for your property, and in this particular case, by the global golf, ski and eco tourism holiday trade.

Should you find such a property with all these characteristics, we would say that you have arguably found the “best buy” investment property in Bulgaria.

Golfing in Bulgaria

Golf is the fastest developing sport in the world and is getting very big in Bulgaria too.

The country’s balanced climate and natural scenic beauty are much appreciated by golf players. What is more, world renowned golfers like Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Ian Woosnam, have designed some of Bulgaria’s best courses, bringing expertise and high international standards.

The opening up of Bulgaria to the lucrative golfing market will be good news for those with properties on or near the proposed courses.

At this point Edeland Ridge’s district is the leading destination with the largest number of golf projects in Bulgaria. So far seven signature golf courses are in development near Razlog town by local and foreign investors. Some of the projects have already been put into implementation, while others are still developing.

Edeland Ridge is perfectly located at the entrance of “Pirin Golf Holidays Club”. This major 18 hole golf course is spread over the 900 decares Betolovoto site in Razlog. Designed by Ian Woosman, its construction is almost complete.

The second major 18 hole golf project, “Pirin Golf and Country Club”, is situated on the 780 decares Tsarnako-Betlovoto site in Razlog. It is planned to be completed in three years.

The third project developed in cooperation with Razlog Municipality, “Kulinoto Ski & Golf Razlog”. It will offer both, golf and ski facilities as well as other and sport opportunities. Along side for the 18 hole golf course, the investors plan to construct a ski centre with 59 km of ski slopes and a 20 km long lift system.

Four villages in Razlog Municipality will also have golf courses; the sites are located in Dobarsko, Godlevo, Gorno Draglishte and Dolno Draglishte. All these locations are within close proximity to the Edeland Ridge development.

Skiing in Bansko

Over the past few years Bulgaria has earned a reputation as one of Europe’s most popular ski destinations especially for those seeking a more affordable alternative to the Alpine resorts.

Bulgaria’s best ski resort, Bansko, is modern and attractive, located only 6km from Edeland Ridge in the Pirin Mountains.

Dramatic mountain views, excellent ski facilities and a striking 65km of groomed ski pistes are just some of the resort’s attributes. Being so far south, Bansko is one of the sunniest and warmest ski resorts offering the longest season and the best snow coverage.

The ski resort has seen a steady increase in popularity over the past few years, as:

• 400 000 tourists visited Bansko in 2004,
• 750 000 tourists visited Bansko in 2005,
• Over 2 000 000 tourists visited Bansko last season.

Looking ahead to the upcoming winter season, the resort is ready to welcome at least 10% more tourists.

Bansko property market has generated a lot of interest from foreign investors. This, together with the growth of tourism, ski pistes expansions and the modernisation of services and infrastructure, has led to the dramatic rise of property prices in the region, where demand is significantly higher than supply.

Compared to the 10% - 15% average nation-wide property prices growth in 2006, this region’s 20% price growth clearly outperformed most other areas in the country. It is now one of the most expensive locations on the Bulgarian market and this growth is anticipated to continue providing investors with a good return in the long-term.

SPA - Natural mineral springs

Outside the doors of Edeland Ridge one can find a vast variety of spa centres and mineral springs. Hot mineral waters in the vicinity of Razlog are one of its greatest natural assets.

One of the best places to visit is the village of Banya, only five km away. Its proximity to the ski facilities of Bansko, its mineral waters and relatively underexploited tourist potential have determined its massive development into a spa and mountain resort with plenty of new hotels, restaurants and other tourist amenities.

Tip: visit the small town of Dobrinishte, just six km from Bansko, and enjoy a day on the ski slopes above the town or treat yourself in one of the spa centres.

This enormous wealth of natural factors, combined with modern hotels and spa facilities in the region, are excellent for all-year-round effective spa tourism.

No Ordinary Facilities

For relaxation or an adrenalin rush, for business or pleasure, for adults or children, Edeland Ridge has something for you.

The development is planned to be built on a 16,000 sq m plot. That’s an area equal to approximately two and a half international soccer pitches and hosts what can be only described as an industry of health and beauty treatments, leisure sports and culinary delights.

Watch a film in the cinema, take a swim in the pool or go to the gym. Plunge into the jacuzzi, take a massage or enjoy an evening meal. Let the kids loose in the playground, a game of volleyball or skating on the ice rink.

Brilliantly serving holidaying families and couples, this development will also cater for the active businessman with several conference halls and a business centre located in the development’s five star hotel.

All buildings are complete with:
» Personal storage for ski and golf equipment
» Elevator and large staircase

No Ordinary Location

A beautiful alpine town nestled in the Pirin Mountains; Bansko is the newest and fastest developing Bulgarian ski resort, comparable with the best of the Europeans.
Founded in the 10th century on the site of an old Thracian settlement, Bansko is rich in culture and ancient history having preserved the spirit of the Bulgarian Revival. The region’s administrative centre Razlog, also preserving the old Thracian culture, is located in close proximity to the resort, just 6km away.

From Sofia International Airport you are less than two and a half hours drive from Bansko and Razlog. Plovdiv, the second largest Bulgarian city, is two hours away and Blagoevgrad town, a student’s hub and modern shopping destination is less than 30 minutes drive. What is more, Greece is only an hours drive; a great alternative for a family excursion or a romantic weekend break.

Edeland Ridge awaits the adventurous; an adventure within reach.

ECO

The region of Bansko and Razlog offer some of the best all-year round walking, mountain hiking, biking and horse riding trails in Europe. Visitors to the Edeland Ridge development who seek a more active holiday can fully enjoy the variety of choices for eco and rural tourism.

The Pirin Mountains, where Bansko and Razlog are located, were designated an UNESCO Park in 1983 and consist of an alpine landscape with glacial valleys and lakes with a pleasant Mediterranean climate. Its 160 stunning lakes make it one of the most beautiful Bulgarian mountains. Hiking in Pirin will give you an unforgettable experience.

The Rila Mountains impress with majesty and beauty. The alpine relief and the presence of steep alpine walls make it a perfect place for extreme sports like mountaineering and alpinism.

Tip: visit Park area “Belitsa”, huddled right where the three fabulous mountains Rila, Pirin and the Rhodopes meet. Belitsa is part of the protected Rila National Park and is famous for the diversity of rare and endangered species. With its well developed tourist infrastructure Belitsa can offer interesting opportunities to lovers of eco and rural tourism.

Hiking has always been very popular in Bulgaria. With its distinctive mountain ranges covering a third of the country and over 37,000 kilometres of marked trails to follow for beginners and the more experienced alike, this is no surprise.
