Description

Traditional old Andalusian farmhouse converted into a successful business with 6 selfcontaining apartments and a private 2-story house with pool. Located on a unique spot in the Malaga mountains, right down to the Guadalhorce lake and next to the natural park containing the world-famous attraction Caminito del Rey. It is the only house by the Guadalhorce lake and the views are completely unspoiled of pure nature - without a house in sight. The business was started in 2007 and has been successful from the beginning, with over 1000 happy guests, endless positive reviews and lots of repeater clients coming back year after year. It consist of 6 well-equipped, light and beautifully decorated studio apartments designed for couples, each with private kitchen, private bath and a terrace with amazing lake views. The private house (owner accommodation) is an old hayloft and the original stables converted onto a stunning 2-story house with amazing views over the lake from kitchen and living room, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 large terraces, a fenced garden, a private pool and private parking. The private house enjoys complete privacy from the guest section.

Business Presentation

Concept

European measures (200 cm long). Possibility of a 3rd person sleeping on sofa bed. Sofa
(upstairs apartments) or armchair (downstairs apartments).

3) En-suite bathroom with shower niche, toilet, sink and wooden furniture.
4) Large terrace (15-20 m2) in front of all apartments with wooden table/chairs, relaxing sun
chairs and views over the Guadalhorce lake.

Unique selling positions
1) Amazing panoramic lake views from all apartment terraces.
2) Complete silence in secluded natural setting without a house in sight.
3) The only accommodation in front of the Desplomilandia climbing sectors.

Target groups
1) Young couples without children on romantic/activity/sightseeing holidays
2) Middle-aged couples travelling without children on activity/sightseeing holidays
3) Rock climbers

Families with children are avoided in order to create the optimal holiday environment for couples
without children (tranquillity). Furthermore the place is unsuited for children.

Activities
1) Hiking/walking: In the nearby natural park as well as in the unspoiled nature around the
lakes there are unlimited possibilities for walking. There are marked routes as well as lots of
track roads without traffic.
2) Rock climbing: The Deplomilandia climbing area is just 200 meters away. And one of the
best climbing areas in Europe,
3) Kayaking: Kayaks and water bikes/pedalos can be rented by the lakes.
4) Cycling/biking: Lots of small and curvy mountain roads with limited traffic in the area for
road cycling. And lots of track roads/paths in the mountains for mountain biking.
5) Swimming/bathing: 150 meters to big lake (12 km long, 600 meters wide) for swimming
and with easy access.
6) Arch shooting, quad-biking, horse riding, rappelling, speleology and lots of other possible
activities nearby.

Further Income Potential
1) The 3-4 closed months could be opened up for business, so that the rental income may increase.
2) The Dutch, Danish and German markets are very well served, but many other markets, especially
the UK, Polish and Spanish markets could still be developed, increasing the rental income.
3) The rock climbing segment has great potential and could be developed much further, especially
from October to April.
4) The possible expansion of the number of apartments (described below) would make basis for
further rental income.
5) Sales of activities, e.g. climbing, paragliding, guided tours, quad biking, jeep excursions, etc.
6) Classes, e.g. climbing courses, yoga classes, wine tasting, almond harvesting, etc.
7) Glamping, camping, cottages and dome rentals.
9) Events, e.g. concerts.

Buildings
1) Apartment building (in 3 stories) of 380 m2. Restored in the years 2007 - 2016.
2) Utility building (in 1 story) of 30 m2
3) Private residence building (in 2 stories) of 170 m2. Restored in 2009 & 2017. Private pool.
4) Ruin of 180 m2 build area.

Instalations
All installations have been made in 2007 - 2017. There were no existing installations in the
buildings, meaning that there are no old installations at all.
1) Electricity: Complete solar system with 16 photovoltaic panels, 24 batteries, 4 solar
controllers and a high-quality STUDER inverter (12V DC - 220V AC). Installations made
by certified electrician. Documentation available.
2) Water: Mains supply. All installations made by certified plumber. Documentation available.
3) Sewer: Biological recycling facility cleaning waste water. All installations made by certified
plumber. Documentation available.
4) Heating: Central heating running on propane gas (from newly installed underground gas
deposit). 3 of the apartments have under-floor heating and all 6 have heated towel rails.
Furthermore there are 8 portable gas heaters and 2 fire places.
5) Fire: 20 fire extinguishers located and correctly signed in all required places.
6) Wheel chair ramp, emergency lights and all other legal requirements in place.
7) Fully equipped wheel-chair accessible apartment complying with regulations.
Land
50.000 m2 of land (5 hectares) located in a natural setting with government land all around it. Both
the government land and our land is wild grown and form part of the natural setting between the
mountains and the lake. Not a house in sight - and no risk of any houses being build.
The plot contains:
1) 3 almond groves (more than 100 organic almond threes)
2) A wide selection of other trees (including fruit trees)
3) Parking for 8 cars
4) A riding field and fencing
5) A common area with wooden sun loungers
6) A front patio with herbs, roses and other plants
7) An internal patio with fruit trees, grapevines and laurel

Regulation
The area is protected nature, meaning that no buildings will ever appear within sight, except for a
camping site that is planned on the other side of the lake, but not being build. Construction is
therefore limited to the existing buildings, which luckily have lots of potential. The municipality of
Antequera has lowered the classification of the plot, meaning that permissions may pass easier now.

Potentials
1) The apartment building consist of 6 apartments, each of which are prepared to be divided
into 2 apartments (division walls exists, 2 separate electrical circuits, 2 entrance doors,
separated terrace). With an extension of the building (within the constructed area on the
plot) the apartment building could be made into 12 apartments.
2) The ruin has a constructed area of 180 m2 within the constructed area of the plot. This
means that a new building could potentially be build here.

Existing bookings
It is a condition of the sale that existing bookings are honoured by the buyer so that all planned
stays can take place. All deposits remains with vendor. Rest payments for bookings with arrival
date after take-over are transferred to the buyer when received.

Furniture
All furniture and equipment in the apartments is included, except the private paintings on the walls.
Furniture in the private house is not included.

Inventory
Towels, linen, spare utensils, spare parts and other things intended for the business is included.
Washing machine, solar panels, batteries, generators and other business related inventory is
