Join the Coliving Semkovo Co-op in Bulgaria! Own a studio, live, and rent out in a 180,000 sq ft ex-ski resort, set for digital nomad coliving, remote team retreats and coworking. Fully-managed studios incl. share in co-op start at $17k +$9k renovation.
I visited this fascinating building during the early backers summit in May 2023. Really stoked about the potential, so purchased 1 bedroom loft (462 sq.f.) with a mountain view 🏔
Not planning to live here, but excited to spend some time doing deep work and making deep connections!✨️
Only a short while ago, I discovered that @matthiaszeitler, the brilliant mind behind Coworking Bansko and the vibrant Bansko Nomad Fest—uniting over 900 digital nomads from around the world—is embarking on his latest venture: transforming an ex-ski resort in Semkovo, Bulgaria into a utopia for digital nomads.
Imagine a sprawling communal space complete with event locations, an expansive coworking area, private offices, a pool, bar, restaurant, and an array of 200 apartment units of varying sizes. What sets this project apart is its unique co-op model and the sheer size of the space. Here, the resort is owned and managed by the people who own a unit.
This sanctuary allows individuals to establish their base, savor a few months of the year in idyllic bliss, all while relying on a professional team to lease out their apartment during their absence—for fellow digital nomads or for remote team retreats. I don't know of any other space on planet Earth where Zapier, GitLab, or similarly-sized remote teams could all meet under one roof in such a beautiful, affordable setting.
Three weeks ago, I joined 50+ other attendees of the Bansko Nomad Fest 2023 for a tour of the space and was instantly captivated by its potential. It's a locale designed to foster community and collaboration, yet to bring this vision to life, the co-op needs 100+ pioneers willing to join in the next few days. While extensive renovation is needed, there's a robust plan for renovation and operation in place. Moreover, the apartment prices account for the budget for this transformation.

Happy to announce that the project has reached it minimum funding target - so we will be able to make it happen #yeah
There are some apartments left, but if interested please act quickly.
And if you miss out on the apartment sales, then looking forward to welcome everyone as coliving guests next summer!

I decided to invest in this project following on from Matthias' success with Coworking Bansko and also the Bansko Nomad Fest, which has grown to a 700-attendee event. Glad to see it getting off the ground!

Fascinating project. I'm investing in Coliving Semkovo for a number of reasons. First, I believe in the future of remote work. More and more people are working remotely, and I think coliving spaces are the perfect way to create a community for remote workers.
Second, I think Coliving Semkovo is a great investment. The apartments are affordable, and the location is beautiful. I'm confident that the value of these apartments will appreciate over time.
Finally, I'm excited to be a part of this community. The team behind Coliving Semkovo is passionate about creating a unique and welcoming space for remote workers. I'm confident that this project will be a success.
Hopefully, my future nomadic self will also get to use it as some sort of productivity bolthole.
