An outstanding opportunity for someone seeking 3 bedroom 2 bathroom property attached with its own private terracing and pool. Co-joined to an established Restaurant and bar The Welcome Stranger (See property listing 496)

Nestling in the scenic hills of Almeria (Andalucia) this charming owner-built villa commands a panoramic position. Purpose built 6 years ago the owners Cliff and Julie have used their 20 year catering experience in The Welsh Mountains to create a beautifully welcoming and also highly acclaimed atmosphere for both dining and as a meeting place.

Living on site in this comfortable semi detached Villa it has large bedrooms and 1 shower room en-suite, and a shared full family bathroom, the garage has been converted (as is the Spanish way!) into living space with a utility area and games room including a pool table, the kitchen is as you would expect from a professional caterer well equipped with all mod cons. The lounge area is spacious with a log burning fire place, leading onto a good sized dining area. Cooking and water is gas and has air-conditioning units.

As is the way in Spain there is lots of outside living space with a large private swimming pool barbecue area and covered terraces as well as open. The house is fly-screened throughout. Though a modern build the house has many rustic features, giving the best of both worlds, the charm of oldie worldy, with the convenience of a modern build. The house sits on a 1000m2 plot of land.

As mentioned earlier, The Restaurant comprises of reception area with bar and comfortable lounging area for greeting diners, this leads through the well positioned and high-spec finished bathroom facilities to pass into the charming dining room (with ample seating for up to 28 covers per sitting), which features a traditional log burning stove to add to the personal ambience.
The professional kitchen is accessed directly from the dining room and is fully equipped to a catering standard and is more than capable of catering for a full restaurant and terrace area.

The terraced areas provide more dining for up to 80 diners (in Total), and enjoy a beautiful tranquil setting for both daytime and evening visitors.
This is a thriving business which enjoys excellent relations with both suppliers and clientele. It is a fully licensed freehold, the properties (restaurant and villa) are to be sold fully furnished and ready to go.

The current owners are happy to share their accounts with any serious purchaser and presently make a comfortable living working four and a half days a week so there is room to expand the business.

At present they run an A la Carte and a value menu, with a Sunday roast all are received well and have their own clientele providing a good range of audience for any possible changes by a new owner.

The restaurant was a project which the owners feel they have completed and would now like to retire. If we were not affected by the recession the property would easily fetch an asking price of €500-550K however because of the present situation Cliff and Julie are fully aware that this price may prove difficult to realize and have set a very reasonable asking price of €350,000 making this gem of a property an excellent investment for business people and investors alike.
