What this actually is

You're not just buying a flat.
You're buying a seat at the table.

Mons Orbelus started as a property project. It became something more: a community of digital nomads, remote workers, and entrepreneurs who wanted a real home base — and real neighbours they actually like. People who know each other from BanskoNomadFest, from coworking spaces around the world, from the same Slack channels and WhatsApp groups. Now they'll share a building.

Neighbours who get the lifestyle

65 owners already. Nomads, remote workers, entrepreneurs. People who understand the perpetual question of "where to base" — and who'll be happy to share a coffee, a BBQ, or a ski day when your paths cross.

Shared spaces built for the way you live

Coworking space, café-bar, SPA with sauna and steam bath, gym, and landscaped gardens — all inside the building. Your office, your gym, your social life: one address.

A real base — on your own terms

Not a hotel, not a short-term rental. Your place. Use it as your home, your Bulgarian tax residency address, your mountain retreat between trips — or rent it out when you're away. No restrictions.

Managed, so you don't have to

Optional property and rental management handles keys, utility payments, cleaning, and repairs. Keep the ownership and the community. Skip the landlord headaches.

When you're not there, your apartment can work for you. Three ways to approach it:

Maximum Yield

Community Rentals

Rent within the Mons Orbelus owner network and the wider nomad community. Self-organised, no middleman, maximum return.

We have regular owners' meetings where the next construction phases are discussed transparently. Everything is well planned, structured, and professionally managed. Cristian coordinated everything excellently and consistently went the extra mile — one concrete example is that he made it possible to upgrade the entire project to triple-glazed windows, ensuring the highest possible quality. I would gladly do another project with Cristian and his entire team at any time.

The location

Why Bansko.

800m from the Gondola ski lift Five minutes on foot to shops, restaurants, bars, and the old town. Year-round Pirin National Park on your doorstep.
Europe's most established nomad hub Home of BanskoNomadFest, a thriving coworking scene, and a permanent international community that keeps growing year on year.
10% flat income tax Bulgaria offers one of Europe's most competitive tax environments. Your apartment address qualifies you for tax residency. More than 100 nomads have made the move via MyStartBulgaria.com.
Schengen member since January 2025 Euro adoption planned for January 2026. Growing political stability and increasing investor confidence.
Year-round destination Skiing in winter, hiking and mountain biking in summer. More sunshine hours annually than most of Western Europe.
A fraction of comparable resort prices Chamonix, Zermatt, and Innsbruck at a tenth of the cost — with a community you can't find at those price points.
As an asset

The numbers hold up too.

Bansko property values have grown at roughly 10% annually over the past five years, with some periods closer to 15%. New construction in this area now costs more than these units sell for — which means you're buying in below replacement value.

This is a real asset in an undervalued market with consistent upward pressure: growing tourism, growing nomad demand, Schengen access, and Euro adoption all pointing in the same direction. Most owners are here for the community and the base. The equity growth is a bonus — but it's real.

"Cris and Eli were FANTASTIC to work with! Cris is super knowledgeable about ALL the properties in Bansko, was able to provide great guidance on what was a good deal and if there were any risks. He is all about building relationships so no sales pressure — and he's the nicest, kindest guy you'll ever meet. If you're looking to buy a property in Bansko, you should start and end with Cris and Plus Property."

How it works

Straightforward process.
No surprises.

Every purchase is handled by a long-established Bulgarian law firm we've worked with for years. Full documentation, clear contracts, and no hidden costs — ever. We have solid working relationships with local authorities and a track record of delivering above specification. The triple glazing and enhanced insulation across the entire building are two concrete examples of us going further than required, at no extra cost to owners.

Reserve with €1,500 to secure your apartment. Your lawyer reviews everything before you commit to anything further. We're fully transparent throughout — construction updates, decisions, costs — and have run regular owner meetings since day one.

What's next

The next project is in development.

We're not sharing details yet — and that's deliberate. When we are ready, the people already on this list will hear first. No public announcement. No waiting in line.

Mons Orbelus is the proof of concept: 65 apartments sold, almost entirely through the community, before it ever went public. The people who were paying attention early got the best units at the best prices. The next project will work the same way.

You don't need to know what it is to know whether you want early access. You already know the team.

In over a decade of working together, a handshake has always been enough.
