Turnkey Retreat Centre / Hotel Property For Sale Tzununa, Lake Atitlan, Guatemala , Guatemala for below market value!

$650,000
Hidden in the centre of the up-and-coming Lake Atitlan village of Tzununa, Lake Atitlan, Guatemala, this substantial, turnkey property is For Sale. Less than a 5-minute walk from the public dock it offers almost half an acre of land with several constructions (including 5 houses), a swimming pool, fruit trees, lush tropical gardens, and is one of the last remaining larger properties in this village and close to the Lake. The property is turnkey and ready to go as a retreat space, hotel, restaurant, and/or hostel, but also has huge potential for development. It is also very secure with a wall built around the entire boundary of the property.

The site is divided into two distinct areas: it has a residential area and an events area. The residential half, where the main entrance is (car accessible), leads into the front part of this area. To the left is a building with a guardian/caretaker’s room and a large communal kitchen, which can easily be used as a restaurant. To the right is a platform area for yoga/meditation with the possibility of constructing a second level which would enable access to fabulous lake views.

Next to this is a block of 3 rooms with shared bathroom facilities, as well as a storage area. Moving on through the mango trees and flowering plants of the lush garden you will find the main accommodation area with 5 wood cabins: a large one in the middle and 2 to either side which are mirror images of each other. They are all fully furnished and equipped with a kitchen, living room, dining area, bathroom, and an open bedroom upstairs with a door leading to a balcony.

Each wood cabin and the block of 3 rooms are built of block on the lower half, white drywall and/or wood panelling with pine above. The ground level of each cabin is open plan with a kitchen, dining and living area, and a bathroom with toilet with electric shower. Wood stairs wind up over the bathroom to the second level which is a large bedroom with at least 2 beds, a work desk, and a balcony. The larger central cabin has the same layout but just has a larger balcony and direct views towards the lake. (See plan of buildings.)

In this residential section, there is also a secure supplies’ building with a washing machine. And next to this is a traditional Guatemalan tamascal/sauna with outside shower.

Separated by a large teal fence is the events section of the property. This is mostly open with a large swimming pool, a children’s paddling pool next to it, a half basketball court, and a large grassy area perfect for outdoor yoga, thai chi, or just for sunbathing. In addition to this, there is also a block of changing rooms and a pump room for the pool.

Along one whole side of the events area, on the left as you enter from the residential side, is an unfinished block of 4 rooms where more accommodation options can be added, or transform these spaces to fit your own vision! This area has the infrastructure and foundations to be extended to a second level, or left as 4 (almost finished) rooms. It is also perfect for special events and parties.

This events area has a separate entrance allowing you to host multiple events and activities at the same time. It opens onto a public footpath that leads to the main road and on up into the central part of the village of Tzununa.

The property is connected to the local municipalidad/local government’s water supply and the national electric grid. It has 4 very large water storage tanks of 2,500 ltrs each. It also has a large septic tank as all properties in Tzununa have.

The property comes with a local man who works as the guardian/caretaker and gardener. He has been maintaining the property for the last 3 owners, so is a great addition to the property.
