Bulgaria’s First Carbon Neutral Development
June 13, 2007
Bulgarian Dreams, the UK’s leading agent in Bulgarian Property is pleased to announce the launch its newest phase at Windows To Paradise, one of the world’s largest fully carbon neutral new build developments. The first of its kind to be incorporated into mainland Europe, Windows to Paradise is aimed to benefit from the increasingly sophisticated visitor to Bulgaria and located in the popular and emerging area of Balchik.
Bulgarian Dreams has worked with The CarbonNeutral Company who assist major companies around the world, to measure, reduce and offset their CO2 emissions. The company has calculated the scheme’s emissions including those from sources such as material lifestyle emissions, site energy consumption, deliveries, site vehicles and waste disposal. Bulgarian Dreams has offset all the development’s emissions during construction and operation of the site by sponsoring a new Hydro Power Station in Bulgaria, making Windows to Paradise fully Carbon efficient.
Robert Jenkin, Director of Bulgarian Dreams, comments: “We are very excited about the launch of our newest phase at Windows to Paradise. As the largest fully carbon neutral development, Windows to Paradise offers an ideal opportunity for both green-minded investors and second homebuyers. For the ‘green tourist’, we also provide an online apartment booking service and advertise buy-to-let apartments with the cost necessary to off-set the carbon emissions produced flying to and from Bulgaria.â€
Windows to Paradise is located on a stunning hillside, offering a select collection of studios, one and two bedroom apartments and penthouses with the majority of the properties boasting incredible sea views. The facilities at the scheme include several outdoor swimming pools, full spa centre with indoor pool, steam bath, sauna, Jacuzzi and children’s pool. Set within landscaped botanical gardens, the scheme also features a restaurant and fully licensed bar, shops and a supermarket. A wine cellar, offering wine tasting evenings, provides free space for resident wine-buffs to keep their favourite bottles.
The exterior of the development is classic in design, expertly blending in with the architecture of rural Balchik with every property benefiting from either a balcony or a terrace. The interiors of the apartments reflect the luxurious environment encapsulated in the whole scheme. With free flowing, open plan, living spaces the properties will enjoy an excellent level of interior specification and layout, along with spacious bedrooms.
This exclusive scheme will also benefit from three international 18-hole golf courses; a Gary Player course located adjacent to Windows to Paradise and two nearby courses designed by Ian Woosnam and Gary Player. With golf being a popular new phenomenon in Bulgaria, these golf courses will satisfy the growing interest from the abundance of holidaymakers and second homebuyers. A stunning new yacht marina is also being built nearby increasing the desirability of this area. Set to become the most exclusive area on the Black Sea coast, Windows to Paradise will be an ideal centre for sailing and golfing, or just relaxing by the pool.
Bulgaria is a three-hour flight direct from the UK with two scheduled airlines currently flying to Varna International Airport once a day. Just 35 minutes drive from the airport, the combination of accessibility and unspoilt beauty with excellent sea views make Windows to Paradise a unique opportunity.
Prices at Phase III at Windows To Paradise start from €38,546.63 (£26,583.88) for a studio apartment, €57,902.13 (£39,932.50) for a one bedroom apartment and €81,769.50 (£56,392.76) for a two bedroom apartment.
