Tourist Eco Lodge and Campsite for Sale in Livingstonia, Rumphi, Malawi
Established Business, Fun Lifestyle, Surrounded by Beauty
The property is on a 50 year, renewable lease with title deeds finalised. There is 40 years currently remaining on the lease.
It comprises of over 7 hectares of medium density native woodland, with many mature trees. Bordered on one side by a spring fed stream and 80 metre cliffs running the entire length of another. These cliffs make up their part of the Great Rift Valley and it's the views into the valley floor and across Lake Malawi at its bottom that are the focal point, the drama, the magic of this place. It is one of the great views of Africa. It's huge and beautiful and ever changing. It can't be overstated.
Nestled amongst the trees and perched on top of those cliffs is the lodge. Designed and built to blend with the environment, it is a combination of brick and cob and timber buildings comprising of four guest rooms with one en-suite. A large open plan restaurant kitchen, bar and restaurant. The site is completely solar powered and fully plumbed with taps through out the gardens and at the campsites. The campsites are a combination of purpose built sites for backpackers and those driving around Africa with roof-top tents. There are three sets of ablutions for campers, both of which use composting toilets and donkey boilers which provide tons of hot water to the showers. There is a large lockable storage shed also on site. The lodge takes up a tiny proportion of the land available leaving a huge amount of room for further development.
The area around the farm is full of natural beauty and offers endless hiking and mountain biking opportunities. The cliffs offer climbing and abseiling. Nearby is the religious mission of Livingstonia, full of history with museum and historic monuments, it's Livingstonia that has traditionally drawn tourists to the area.
This is a well established business of over ten years and comes with a great amount of goodwill. It's a rare opportunity to walk into a unique lifestyle and a ready made business in the warm heart of Africa and is reluctantly being sold due to a relocation. Apart from including absolutely all that you will need for the business to continue including a 110 Defender, solar freezers, fully furnished rooms etc., we have chickens and ducks and goats and pigs and dogs and a kitten.
