Appreciating Assets are delighted to offer for sale this fully-furnished second floor 2-bedroomed + 2-bathroom apartment with some sea views just 150 metres from the beach in the upmarket Etara 2 at St. Vlas for the current market price of just 85,000 euros.

Property Description

First and foremost this is a very spacious 2-bed + 2-bath property, close proximity to the beach, yet situated in a stunningly beautiful holiday resort complex with lovely gardens and amazing stream/waterfall, positioned perfectly along the Black Sea coastline in it's own secluded idyllic spot. It is easy to see why St. Vlas is considered the Gold standard on the Bulgarian riviera! The interior of this property speaks for itself - it says: "quality everywhere", from the wood-effect laminate flooring to the dark wooden interior doors and frames, as well as the floor-to-ceiling tiles in the bathrooms. One particularly nice feature of this apartment is the open-plan yet recessed kitchen with ultra-modern light wooden cabinets (like a showroom photo straight out of an Ikea catalogue) and all the requisite appliances that any family would need whilst on vacation. The adjoining living-cum-dining area also benefits from the gorgeous wooden flooring and bright white walls with dark wood-effect window frames, it makes for an aesthetically pleasing atmoshpere. What's more, the dining suite includes no less than 6 chairs plus long table - a clue that this particularly property can easily accomodate 6 adults or alternatively a larger than average family. There is an abundance of space here in the main living area, with brightly coloured sofa plus armchairs to match in front of the TV stand, with of course the obligatory chic wooden coffee table too. The condition of this property may only be described as excellent, as well as both airy and ultra-modern. Both the large bedrooms share the same theme as the rest of the property, light brightly painted walls, wood flooring, modern beds and great storage. There are free-standing wardrobes, drawer units and dressing tables with vanity mirrors. A nice feature of this property is the addition of the en-suite bathroom off the master bedroom, with its own shower of course (as can be seen in the attached recent photographs). Anbother defining feature specific to this property is the partial sea views, with the remaining views from the covered balcony extending down to the carefully manicured gardens below, which include a stone-walled enclosed stream leading to a waterfall, along with quaint footbridges and surrounding pathways. All in all, this is a very high quality development that was completed just 5 years ago, evidently by a development company that took a lot of pride in this complex. Etara II is a unique oasis along the Black Sea coast.

St Vlas  is located at the foot of the southern slopes of the Balkan Mountains, in the northern part of Burgas Bay. A settlement was founded at the present place of St Vlas in the 2nd century AD by Thracians and Greeks, then called Larissa. It acquired the name St Vlas in the 14th century after Saint Blaise, a monastery dedicated to whom existed in the region, but was burnt down in the 14th-18th century by consecutive pirate raids. During the Ottoman rule of Bulgaria, it was known as Kücük manastir or simply Manastir ("monastery"), while the name St Vlas became official after 1886. Until 1920 the population of St Vlas was predominantly Greek. After 1920 as a result of the exchange of population between Greece and Bulgaria most of the local Greeks emigrated to Western Thrace (ceded to Greece in 1920) Greece and found their new home in the village of Strymi (until 1920 Chadarli), Sapes municipality. Less than 10 Greek families remained in St Vlas. After 1912 and especially after 1920 tens of Bulgarian families emigrated from Greece, predominantly from Greek Macedonia and established themselves in St Vlas. The settlement became a climatic sea resort in 1963 and a town on 2 February 2006. St Vlas is the only place on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast where the beaches are facing directly south.

St Vlas has grown as a very popular  tourist resort in recent times, serving as a quieter alternative to nearby Sunny Beach. The gap between the two places is shrinking as more hotels and holiday apartments are built along the coast. St Vlas lies at the northern end of a bay which has Sunny Beach in its middle and the ancient town of Nesebar at its southern end. Sunny Beach and Nesebar are easily accessible by bus or taxi, and there are also boats going between St Vlas and Nesebar.

The resort was mainly popular amongst inland Bulgarian tourists, but recently there is rapid growth in the number of foreign tourists, mainly from Russia, but also from  Poland, Romania and Scandinavia. Even though St Vlas was heavily developed in 2000's it remained pretty quiet and calm down place, making it good place to have a rest. Due to that fact the typical visitors in the resort are families with children.
