Investment Options

Pirin Golf and Country Club is considered to be the best property investment in Bansko - Razlog valley, Bulgaria. First Bulgaria helps property investors to understand the benefits of joining a 5-star European-class golf-ski resort, and make the right choice for their circumstances. We offer three property investment options, which are designed to meet diverse investors’ goals.

  • Personal use and letting.This option is the most popular one, suitable for those who would like to use their properties personally , share with family and friends or implement the highly popular holiday home "swap" . Owners will benefit from using their property (apartment , house) for as long as they wish and rent it during the rest of the year. Owners are free to rent their properties themselves or make use of other options. First Bulgaria will help find the best rental option for their circumstances.
  • For a ski-golf-SPA holiday home. For those who would prefer to use their apartments or houses only personally, as holiday homes, to share with family members or friends and not rent out, there is the option of buying unfurnished Pirin Golf residential real estates. The client may opt to buy the standard Pirin Golf furniture pack (in two designs) or furnish their apartment or house themselves. In the event of custom furnishing (own project) we shall be glad to help with full furnishing service of high quality at competitive price.

First Bulgaria offers flexibility with different investment options to meet a variety of potential buyers’ choices. Note that with every investment option, the buyer receives rights to the whole golfing infrastructure inside Pirin Golf and Country Club which are “attached” to the property. With guaranteed full exclusivity on the only existing golf courses in Bansko - Razlog valley, and golfing rights explicitly incorporated in Pirin Golf and Country Club contracts, the resort outperforms its competition as a property investment target.

Due to the limited amount of genuine golf properties being built inside Pirin Golf and Country Club, each and every purchaser is making an unrivalled investment. We are sure demand for Pirin Golf properties will exceed supply over time. Demand tends to increase when potential buyers start to see a development take shape.

Pirin Golf Resort has an approved planning permission and construction plan, which means that it cannot be developed with “apart-hotels”, which are often packed in, and built so close to each other.


Why Invest In Pirin Golf & Country Club?

When asking why to invest in Pirin Golf, here are the First Bulgaria “Top Ten” reasons to place this property first on your list of Bansko golf-ski resort opportunities:

1. TWO golf courses with 27 holes overall (soon to be 36), including an 18-hole Championship golf course on an alpine site.

You own a golf home on the first signature golf course in southeastern Europe. It is not surprise that Europe’s 2006 Ryder Cup-winning captain Ian Woosnam wanted to design a spectacular valley course here in full view of the 9,000 feet high Pirin peaks.

The carefully-chosen location of Pirin golf course, with natural snow-melted water streams straight from the mountains, not only enables water hazards, but also reduces water consumption by 80% compared with many other golf courses. This lowers maintenance costs while keeping the grounds in excellent condition from March until December.

2. Pirin Golf Academy.

At the golf academy, the professional coaching staff will offer individual or group lessons for golfers of all abilities, from beginners to those with lower handicaps.

3. Pirin Golf Sports centre.

Like the Golf Academy this is exclusive to Bansko-Razlog. Additional facilities will include indoor and outdoor pools, fitness equipment and trained staff. Also planned are two tennis courts, a basketball court, mini-football pitch and gymnastics areas. Mountain hiking fans will be charmed with the walking trails into 100-year-old pine and fir forests, just outside the Pirin Golf and Country Club.

4. Pirin National Park.

At Pirin Golf and Country Club you are just on the edge of a natural pine forest surrounding by huge peaks. Pirin Golf is adjacent to Pirin National Park, one of the most strictly-preserved nature areas in the world. The park has beautiful limestone and granite-based landscapes with alpine peaks, 176 glacial lakes, waterfalls and pine forests, as well as a rich flora and fauna, containing many rare plant species.

5. Outdoor activities and healthy living.

At Pirin Golf everyone will be encouraged towards an active and healthy life. In March and April one can ski on the best slopes in Eastern Europe in the morning and play a round of golf in the afternoon, which is hard to find anywhere in Europe. Close to the forest-covered slopes of the Pirin, Rila and Rhodope mountains, there are rarely-visited places with natural tranquility and a truly healthy environment. Healing mineral springs are abundant just a 10-minute drive away.

There is no place in the Bansko resort area that offers such a complete list of amenities at one place. Top quality shops, bars and restaurants, an extensive spa centre, and a riding and equestrian centre, will add to this special experience for residents. Once in Pirin Golf and Country Club there is really no need to leave.

6. Location and Access

The historic town of Bansko, which has transformed into one of Europe’s best ski resorts, is just a few minutes away. Sofia International Airport is within an hour and 40 minutes by car. A new airport just 30 miles away from Bansko is planned for 2009. The Mediterranean waters of the Greek Aegean Sea are just across the border, only 90 minutes’ drive away. Few places in Europe can offer so much, so close.

7. Security

Of utmost importance to Pirin Golf Resort and its residents is peace of mind. That is why at Pirin Golf there are only two entrances to the resort, both equipped with 24-hour CCTV and guarded by professional security staff. All of these measures will make this luxury enclave a safe haven for residents, owners and their property.

8. High construction standards.

Pirin Golf and Country Club homes are being constructed to the highest standards. They will boast elegant architecture and be built to last. European construction standards are followed throughout, and all homes will have a 10-year construction guarantee written into contracts. Unlike many other developments, Pirin Golf also has all the necessary building licences and permits.

9. Low energy bills.

The walls of all homes are built with care on top of 20 centimetre thermal insulation, which keeps the cold out winter, and resists the heat in summer. Double-glazed windows, with PVC framing of the highest European quality, add a finishing touch to help keep energy bills low. All homes are supplied with a metered utility consumption system (electricity, water, telephone, internet etc) for individual billing. This way you only pay for what you use.

10. High returns on your investment.

Buyers in the Bansko ski resort area have typically seen a 25-30% increase in the value of their properties from 2004 to 2006. We expect this trend to continue for the Pirin Golf residential properties, with a further rise anticipated when additional phases (Pirin-II District, Holiday District, Golf District) start up. Conservative estimates for renting properties in the Bansko ski resort area are set at 16 weeks per year. With exclusive golf course access, Pirin Golf and Country Club properties should have rental potential for 20-22 weeks per year. Having facilities that cater for every taste should ensure a loyal clientele and no competition for at least 5 years.

Bottom line: Reasonable prices

With many exclusive features unavailable in other Bansko developments, the property prices at Pirin Golf and Country Club remain surprisingly affordable and should not break the budget ceiling for most investors. Although similar in some ways to other Bansko quality properties, the added value of guaranteed golf at a signature course makes a big difference.

Indeed, compared to French properties with similar proximity to ski slopes (with no golf courses nearby) or featured Spanish golf resorts (with no ski slopes nearby), the Pirin Golf and Country Club prices are three times lower! We believe this represents incredible value.
