Nicklaus Design, the golf and design specialists are renowned for their superior and world famous golf courses. They are uniquely and carefully designed to enhance the natural surrounding environment and to suit players who want to challenge themselves and enjoy playing at every level. Jack Nicklaus comments “ Nicklaus design love to see golf grow around the world. We have golf courses in 28 countries now and are expending. I know golf is not new in Bulgaria but is relatively new and the growth of golf in Bulgaria will happen over time and we are delighted to be part of it.”
The 18 hole course at Dolna Banya covering over 870,000 square metres and nearly 12km in circumference, has been designed to offer the highest quality of play, and the properties available have plans to rival even these high standards. These fabulous apartments and villas nestled below the Rila Mountains enjoy both green and mountain views. The 1 & 2 bedroom Ephrosina apartments close to the course lines are available from € 55,000 and € 75,000 respectively. A 152m² Villa ‘Christina' with 3 bedrooms is priced at only €140,000, in Spain a Nicklaus course villa can cost between £400,000 - £500,000.
This luxury development is designed to be an all-year round activity centre with golf for the summer season extending to skiing during the winter months with direct access to ski lifts. The development even boasts thermal spas with 65°C pure mineral water providing relaxation and recuperation after your activity filled days. There will also be the Halfway Club House, bars, restaurants, mini-markets, shops, swimming pools and a variety of spas and baths in the complex.
The town of Dolna Banya itself, only 60km away from Sofia, 75 km from Plovdiv and 18km away from Borovets, is experiencing an influx of investment with over 20 million Euros being invested into a 5-star hotel, two sport centres, a retail park, clubs and the new health spa creating an international leisure destination. There is also currently a small airport nearby which is used for private flying and lessons at present, however the plans for the town include its expansion to accommodate the larger visitor numbers expected with Bulgaria 's EU ascension in 2007.
The Nicklaus Design PGA Golf Course, Spa & Country Club truly is an outstanding investment opportunity for golfers and investors alike. The properties not only offer excellent capital growth potential in an expanding and developing market, they also present the opportunity for high rental yields all year round. Qasir Ali , MD of Bulgaria Revealed mentions “Investors have the use of an on-site management company with the backing of the Nicklaus name to publicise the facilities to tourists and major holiday companies giving you maximum occupancy throughout the year”. There is also of course the ultimate benefit of owning a unique and exclusive Nicklaus golf and ski property. With prices starting from as low as €25,000 for a studio apartment facing south towards the golf course , your property is available for less than the current market equivalent.
