Smolyan Lakes · Rhodope Mountains · Bulgaria
Mountain residences by the lakes, at 1,470 m – among spruce forests, mountain meadows and some of the cleanest air in the Balkans.
The Region
Dream Lake sits in one of Bulgaria's most unspoilt landscapes: the Middle Rhodopes, above the town of Smolyan, beside the Smolyan Lakes and at the foot of Snezhanka peak.
A member of the European Union since 2007, of the Schengen Area since 2025 and of the euro area since 1 January 2026. Bulgaria combines four true seasons, Black Sea beaches and ski resorts with one of the lowest tax burdens in the EU – a flat 10% tax on personal income and on corporate profit.
The largest mountain range in Bulgaria and the legendary homeland of Orpheus. Gentle ridges covered in spruce, pine and beech forests, deep gorges, caves and traditional villages – with a mild climate shaped by the nearby Aegean Sea. The highest summit, Golyam Perelik, rises to 2,191 m.
Smolyan, the regional centre, stretches along the Cherna river valley at 850–1,050 m and is home to the largest planetarium in Bulgaria. Pamporovo, one of the country's leading ski resorts (37 km of pistes below Snezhanka peak, 1,926 m), is about 15 km away; Plovdiv is about 100 km and Sofia about 260 km.
Once twenty, today seven natural lakes lie in the valley of the Cherna river, below the Orpheus rocks and Snezhanka peak – surrounded by meadows, forest eco-trails and viewpoints. A place for walking, cycling, fishing and simply breathing, in every season.
Just over the ridge, about 15 km from Dream Lake, Pamporovo is known as Bulgaria's sunniest ski resort – around 120 sunny days in a season that usually runs from mid-December to mid-April, with blue skies over deep, reliable snow. Some 37 km of groomed pistes descend from Snezhanka peak (1,926 m) and its landmark TV tower through snow-covered spruce forest. Gentle, rounded slopes make it one of Europe's best places to learn to ski, while experts head for the Giant Slalom run and the steep “Wall”. Ski schools, equipment rental and night skiing complete the season.
When the snow melts, the same ridges become a network of marked trails through cool spruce forest and flowering meadows – for walkers, hikers and cyclists of every level:
Air you can feel
The lakes lie in the 1,200–1,600 m belt that Bulgarian scientists describe as especially favourable for people. Mountain breezes, forests and open water keep the air clean and rich in negative (light) air ions – physicists cite 600 to 6,000 negative ions per cm³ as the most beneficial range, with the highest values in the mornings and evenings. It is why the Smolyan Lakes have long been known as a place to rest, recover and recharge, and why they are counted among the best places on the Balkans for fresh air.

The Project
Nine buildings in two clusters, linked by an internal road. The northern cluster gathers four residential blocks (A–D) around a central square and Block K – the main building, with lobby and reception, restaurants, spa and wellness centre, conference hall, underground parking and apartments above. The southern cluster holds four apartment hotels (F, G, H, I).

Areas per title and cadastral documents. Block K: gross built-up area of the above-ground part (the lower basement adds a further 2,791 m²); footprint per the cadastral map. Building L (143 m² footprint, 470 m² gross built-up area) is shown separately.
