INDEPENDENT SENIOR LIVING · BULGARIA

A place of your own.
A life shared.

Your morning coffee. A familiar face. Time for the things you enjoy. Imagine a home in the Bulgarian countryside where company is close and your day is still yours.

YOUR OWN PACE. YOUR OWN PEOPLE.

A little less to look after.
A little more to look forward to.

Perhaps you’re ready for a smaller home. Perhaps you’d like more company in your day. Thracian View explores a simple idea: a private home, welcoming shared spaces, and the freedom to choose how you spend your time.

01 / YOUR SPACE

Close your own front door.

Cook when you like, keep your favourite chair, and make a home that feels like you.

02 / GOOD COMPANY

Open it to familiar faces.

A coffee, a shared meal or a game. Everyday reasons to meet, without a full diary of commitments.

03 / YOUR CHOICE

Make the day your own.

Time together and time to yourself. Independent living starts with deciding what suits you.

More than your own front door

Spaces that bring
the day to life.

A good place to live needs more than a comfortable apartment. These shared spaces are part of the senior-living study — places to eat, meet, make something and spend time in your own way.

A possible future café · AI concept inspired by the Wing D study
312–332 m²

of shared programme space in the study, plus laundry, toilets and service areas. Approximate design areas.

A café, and someone to say hello to

Wing D · ground level

Coffee, cake and a familiar face at reception. The café and table-games area would give neighbours somewhere to meet without needing to make a plan.

A kitchen for cooking together

Wing B · lower level

The study includes a full community kitchen and a table for 12. Bring a favourite recipe, help with lunch or join the meal. This is shared cooking space; a daily meal service is not yet agreed.

Room to keep doing what you enjoy

Wing B · lower level

A flexible room of about 55–59 m² for hobbies and small-group activities. The layout tests ten activity places plus a leader, including space for gentle movement. Activities and instructors would be arranged with the future operator.

An evening closer to home

Wing D · ground level

Movable tables let the café become a place for talks, music or community occasions. The event arrangement and occupancy still need approval; there is no published programme yet.

A quieter place to read

Wing D · upper level

A separate lounge is proposed for reading and quiet conversation. It currently relies on stairs, so step-free access is not established. Accessible quiet seating elsewhere will need to form part of the final brief.

The useful little things

Wing B · lower level

The concept includes shared laundry facilities and a small automated vending shop for everyday essentials. Products, opening arrangements and charges still need to be decided.

Explore the spaces as they could feel, then open the floorplans to see how they fit together. AI interiors illustrate the atmosphere; the layouts remain design proposals.

Malo Selo · the real setting

Above the everyday.
Among the trees.

The existing building sits on a wooded slope, looking out across open countryside. The appeal is tangible: trees close to home, a broader view, and room to pause outdoors.

Get to know the grounds

One setting.
Four wings.

17,395 m² is the total property area — about 1.74 hectares including the buildings and access areas. The woodland extends beyond the property; it is not all private resident grounds.

A view is only the beginning.

Places to sit in the shade, comfortable paths and spots to enjoy the garden would make this setting part of daily life. These are priorities for the next design stage. Because the site slopes, gradients, lighting, winter access and places to rest need particular attention.

Countryside, with the city in reach.

Dupnitsa for everyday errands. Kyustendil for a day out. Sofia for the capital’s culture, connections and visiting family.

Make more of the places around you.

A morning in town, lunch with friends or a relaxing afternoon in warm mineral water — there is plenty to enjoy beyond your own front door. Tell us how you like to get around, and what makes a good week for you.

Picture your life here with us ↗

Driving times are approximate. Outings are ideas for your own plans; resident transport and organised activities are still being developed.

LOOKING AHEAD, TOGETHER

Independence matters.
So does knowing
what to expect.

The starting point is a home where you manage your own day.

The concept allows for visiting support by arrangement, coordinated through reception. The provider, services, hours and costs still need to be defined.

If you or someone you love has particular mobility or support needs, those should be part of the conversation from the start. The building’s access routes and existing lift have not yet been verified.

Tell us what matters to you ↗

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

A big decision.
Start with the basics.

It’s early days. Here is what the concept includes, and what still needs to be worked out.

Can I move in or reserve a home?+

Not yet. Thracian View senior living is a proposed community, not an operating residence. There is no opening date and homes are not available to buy, rent or reserve. You can get in touch to discuss the idea and what you would be looking for.

Would I buy or rent? What would it cost?+

Ownership or rental terms, home prices and monthly service charges have not been set. A future developer and operator would need to explain what is included, what costs extra and how charges could change before anyone makes a commitment.

Is this independent living or a care home?+

The proposal is for independent senior living, with optional visiting support. It does not offer nursing, 24-hour care or an on-site medical service. No care operator or support package is confirmed. Suitability would depend on your needs and the eventual services.

Could I live here with my partner?+

The study includes larger layouts and separate-bedroom options that may interest couples. Occupancy, eligibility and terms have not yet been determined; the drawings are room studies, not confirmed one- or two-person offers.

What about pets and visiting family?+

We know these are part of feeling at home. Pet policies, visitor arrangements and any guest accommodation have not yet been agreed. Tell us what would matter to you so those needs can inform the concept.

Will the homes and shared spaces be accessible?+

Some room studies include larger bathrooms with turning and transfer space. Whole-building accessibility is not yet established: the existing lift, doors, level changes and routes need detailed checks. The proposed upper quiet lounge currently relies on stairs. Individual needs must be assessed against the final design.

Would I need a car?+

No resident shuttle or transport service is confirmed. As this is a village setting, you would need a practical plan for shopping, appointments and visits. Transport needs should be discussed before deciding whether living here would suit you.

How much of the design is confirmed?+

The C02 study explores an 85-room target across three wings and shared facilities in a fourth. It is not approved capacity. Structure, fire escape, daylight and access checks could change the plans. Images show a possible atmosphere, not the current building condition or a promised finished result.

Would meals and housekeeping be included?+

The study makes space for shared cooking and laundry. Meal plans, housekeeping, maintenance and their charges have not been agreed. Before committing, you should be able to see a clear monthly budget covering your home, utilities, shared services and any optional help.

What if my needs change over time?+

This is an independent-living proposal. Visiting support may be possible by arrangement, but no care package or round-the-clock response is promised. The future operator would need to explain emergency arrangements, the limits of support and what happens if you need more help.

Can I see the place before deciding?+

Ask us about a guided site visit and the current project stage. The building is unfinished and is not open for unaccompanied visits. A visit should include the approach, the local area and the routes you would use for ordinary errands — not only the views.

What about internet, heating and keeping in touch?+

Reliable internet, comfortable winter heating and easy contact with family matter as much as the social spaces. Providers, specifications and costs are not yet set. Tell us about video calls, working from home or other needs so they can be included in the operating brief.
