This is a unique opportunity to acquire a fully equipped and operational restaurant leasehold in the vibrant marina of Estepona, Málaga. Established and profitable for two decades, this establishment benefits from a prime location with high footfall from both local residents and tourists. It offers an immediate income stream with established clientele and potential for expansion into evening dining, presenting a compelling proposition for investors or restaurateurs seeking a turnkey solution on the Costa del Sol.
Compared to residential property offerings in areas like Mijas (Arosa, from €490,000) and Fuengirola (Waterfall Residences from €720,000, Astra Homes from €364,000), this restaurant leasehold presents a different investment profile. While residential developments focus on lifestyle and capital appreciation in dedicated living spaces, this commercial property offers immediate business income. The asking price of €125,000 for a fully operational restaurant business is significantly lower than the entry-level prices for apartments or villas in these comparable areas, reflecting its nature as a business acquisition rather than real estate ownership. The Costa del Sol's market includes diverse opportunities, and this offering targets entrepreneurs or investors focused on the hospitality sector, distinct from the typical property buyer seeking a home.
