Create your own hostel in Guatape, Antioquia, Colombia.
I have a single storey old house in Guatape situated just off the main square, very close to the church and the promenade/lake front. The house is situated in a street that all tourist guides take their clients to show off the "zocalos", most tourist will pass the front door!
At present there are ten rooms arranged around a central patio with gardens to the rear, a plot total of 311 M2 or 3421 ft2 . The property has planning permission to demolish and build 4 floors of garages/shops/apartments plus a roof terrace. Rebuilding will take a serious investment and I feel that starting off with a simple hostal in the existing house would be the best initial step. Guatape is the focus of major new government investment which includes widening of the road from Medellin, creating a new beach, promenade and marina which will increase the already considerable tourism in the town. Guatape is already on the "must see" list of many tourists both local and foreign. There is a substantial backpacker interest in the town which gives plenty of opportunity for weekday travellers as well as the heavy weekend influx of Medellin visitors. Ideally I'm looking to sell the house complete with planning permission etc but could be interested in a business partnership with someone with a proven record and some cash available. Please do not contact me with offers to manage it if you have no experience or cash. |
