Getting up on a cold, wet or snowy morning is no fun in my book. Having to fight traffic jams, long tailbacks or commuting for hours to get to work is equally desperate. Working for a boss who may or may not appreciate my efforts and being dependent on said boss for a well-earned raise, holds no allure for me.
How to escape the rat race, the snow and the interminable travel to work? There is a way, and here’s how you can achieve the dream.
For those who want to live, work and prosper in the sunshine of the Algarve, there are an abundance of business premises for sale. Just to whet your appetite, we have selected a few of the commercial properties listed on Meravista, as a sample of what could be yours. Bear in mind, there’s no snow or ice in the Algarve, nor are there traffic jams and working for oneself eliminates having a boss.
Opportunity Knocks
Salema, Vila do Bispo, €395,000
With the beach just 150 meters away and all amenities on tap, here is a good-sized, successful guesthouse on offer. Located between the surfers’ paradise of Sagres and the busy seaside town of Lagos, it’s in the heart of a traditional village. Boasting large terraces with fabulous sea views, it sits on a hillside and is ideal for the perfect holiday, not least because it’s a stone’s throw from the beautiful Salema beach.
With 6 en suite double bedrooms and 3 self-contained apartments, it’s easily possible for the owners to live on site and run the guesthouse. Additionally, there is a communal kitchen and breakfast area, giving scope for the new proprietors to put their stamp on the business.
In the heart of Silves town is this cosy restaurant/cafe for sale, with a current license for making and selling cakes. It’s in an area popular with tourists and locals, just off the river front. The cafe can seat over 20 patrons and there is a good-sized service area, two toilets and a large kitchen for baking. This is an ideal opportunity for a small business owner.
Situated in the centre of Monchique town, on the pedestrian shopping street, is this 3 storied building for sale. The ground floor has one room and toilet, the first floor has two rooms, a toilet and hallway, and the second floor has two rooms and a bathroom. This property was previously owned by a Farmacia (chemist), who secured the permission for a living area on the upper floors. This is the perfect opportunity to live above your shop in an ancient town!
In the heart of the bustling town of Loulé, there’s a well located commercial property with permission for a coffee/tea/snack bar. It has a large serving area and tastefully laid out seating for diners. Complete with a well equipped kitchen and a garden rooftop, the business has a good customer history and is fully operational. Loulé is a large town and people come from the surrounding areas for their shopping and entertainment. Nearby there are schools, pools and other services, which all make for a good client base.
High in the hills of Castro Marim, with fabulous views over the sea and the mountains, is a large furnished restaurant for sale. Set in 1000 m2 of land with fruit trees and the opportunity to develop a kitchen garden for that special touch. There’s a stage for live entertainment, easy access and plenty of parking spaces. Situated near to the Guadiana River and close to the Spanish border, this could become a great venue for all kinds of restaurant fare.
We have taken commercial properties from across the length and breadth of the Algarve with a variety of terrains and traditions. Check out the different municipalities to see what lifestyle suits you and how and where you would like to invest. There are literally hundreds of commercial enterprises to choose from.
Why not see all there is on offer in the Algarve, find your niche, use your own particular talents and go for it.
For those of you who are retired but would enjoy “keeping your hand in”, an investment of this kind is ideal for appointing a manager and staff. Pop in, check on how things are going and leave the rest to the team, while you go and play a round of golf.
