The Pirin Golf & Country Club
The Pirin Golf & Country Club is the only resort worth considering if you are looking to buy both a ski and golf property in Bulgaria’s biggest and best-known ski resort. The Bansko ski resort was recently awarded “Best-Developed Ski Resort in Eastern Europe” by the 2007 Great Skiing & Snowboarding Guide and the UNESCO-protected Pirin Mountains are the second-highest mountain range in Bulgaria.
The Pirin Golf & Country Club is the ONLY ski resort development in Bansko which offers its owners, the leisure pursuits of both golf and ski in one location. Whilst the mountains of news reports on the Bansko property market have highlighted the ski resort as being one of the fastest growing winter sports locations in Europe, many reports have marketed the added appeal of golf as being an attraction of buying property in Bansko. This is indeed the case for buyers of property in The Pirin Golf & Country Club who will not only overlook but also enjoy full ‘resident-only’ access to the only 18-hole Ian Woosnam signature golf course in the ski resort area and its country club facilities, a rare combination in Bansko property market.
Unlike in Spain, where entering a golf resort is allowed by law (Andalusia), in Bulgaria the legal system provides for complete closure of the resort to outsiders so no one (except authorised officials) will be let in or allowed to pass the gates of a privately owned and managed property without the owners’ consent. This makes Pirin Golf & Country Club very different from most other European golf resorts and is one of the reasons which make property investment in Pirin Golf & Country Club at the top of investors’ wish list.
With significant development of Bansko ski properties taking place, the local government has placed restrictions on further development so demand for quality accommodation is high. The Mayor’s Office in Bansko predicts there will be more than 800,000 tourists to Bansko this 2007/2008 season. During Bansko’s high season, hotel rates average £100 per night, and rents in quality resorts are £250 a week for studio apartments and up to £1,500 for luxury penthouses. Undoubtedly, the appeal of Bulgarian resorts is that they are more affordable than other European alpine resorts but demand for luxury accommodation commands a premium.
Banking on the growth and long-term appeal of Bulgaria’s Bansko ski resort, famous skiers Alberto Tomba and Mark Girardelli have both set up ski schools in the area and the experience of skiing in Bansko continues gather accolades endorsing from around the world. The Pirin Golf & Country Club enjoys a favourable location conveniently between two ski zones, just 3km from Bansko town and 5km away sits the newly developing Kulinoto ski zone with 45 km of ski runs.
