Autumn colours of Geshaview

The carefully preserved trees around the Geshaview village in Bulgaria are producing a wonderful display of autumn golden browns and ochres.
The pictures, taken by Yana Dimitrova, show that as the village matures and the trees grow you really will be 'living embraced by nature'.

The Courtyard reveals its looks!


Although still under construction, the scaffolding around the Geshaview Courtyard is gradually being removed and it is revealing just how stunning it will look. 
The stonemasons have done an amazing job of combining a traditional Bulgarian style building with modern construction techniques. 
Although the picture shows only a small section of the Courtyard you can begin to get a feel of how impressive it will be when finished.

November Newsletter

Firstly, I must apologise for not posting the September and October issues of the Geshaview newsletters.
These can be found on our website, along with all the other back issues, at: www.geshaview.eu/geshaview_newsletter_issues.html.
In the November issue you will find articles on how the lighting of the village at night might look and pictures of the first houses to be fully furnished. 
The newsletters are available to view as PDFs or as 'e-books'. Please click on the link above to view the newsletter.

Landscaping at Geshaview


After 3 years of careful and deliberate protection of all of the ground, trees and fauna on the village site we have finally started to create the ‘outdoor decoration’ of the village. 
 The levelling of the top soil and the sowing of grass seeds (1,000kg and 7 different varieties) is giving the village a green carpet that blends the houses to their surroundings. 
Geshaview is beginning to to look less like a building site and more like the tranquil, eco-friendly village envisaged from the start.

The first houses in the village are furnished.

Deluxe style furniture at Geshaview.


Geshaview is proud to present to its guests and owners the first two completely furnished townhouses.
Mirra Hollands and Desislava Georgieva have created a remarkable and unique design to put the final touches to the whole Geshaview concept.

Ready and waiting.. at your convenience!

final checking of the biological 'live bacteria' installation.


After many months we have been able connect the new sewerage system.
Located away from the village near to the forest area the new and innovative non-chemical underground sewerage plant has broken new ground in Bulgaria for the use of a truly organic system.
The compact, biological ‘live bacteria’ system has a capacity to process the sewerage from over 500 people.
Connected to the village system at the lowest topological point this gravity controlled biological, non-chemical system will process the waste, then, before it is dispersed, all the water can then be passed through an ultraviolet filtration system and then back into the natural river water system.
Maybe it is a bit unusual to be proud of the sewer from your house… but in this instance I believe we have good reason to be.
