Fishing Lodge with Two By Two Acre Lakes For Sale

Business description

This is an excellent opportunity to own an attractive fishing lodge with 2 x Two acre, well stocked lakes. Facilities are excellent with a car park and all angler amenities.

The area and lakes have been completely transformed since 2002 by the current owner, into a beautifull natural site, attracting wildlife. The vendor has created a carpark, excellent facilities including toilets, with disabled facility, and shower block for his fellow anglers. He originally had to form and create an access road to the lakes, provide elctricity to the lodge and work vigorously to improve the enviroment, bringing it back to its former beauty.

There are two lakes. Both lakes have natural spring water which is perfect for breeding.

The first lake has 45 pegs and is populated with circa 3 ton of coarse fish, with roach, chubb, tench and rudd. It is open to fish from 8.00am – 8.00pm, and costs seven pounds per day to fish.

The second lake has 14 pegs and is populated with circa 3.5 tons of specimen carp, up to 31lbs in weight. It is open to fish 24hrs per day and costs twenty pounds per day.

Expansion potential:

Whilst the major work to develop the lakes and the site have been achieved by the vendor, there are a number of projects which can be taken on to take the business to its next level.

Most fishing lodges have a café and retail shop, selling tackle and bait. These add extra income to the turnover.

At present, anglers fish the lakes on a daily basis.There is room to create a membership club and charge members on a seasonal basis. This will increase and bolster the cashflow.

The owner suggests that an advertising campaign will bring in extra revenue and attract more anglers to the lodge.

Support & training:

The vendor is keen that he will give the necessary help to the new owner, so that they can make a success of the business.

Reasons for selling:

The owner has put his energies and life savings into creating this wonderful fishing lodge. It now needs new investment and energy to take the lodge on to its next level. The current vendor does not believe he can achieve this and feels this is the right time for a new owner to take the reigns.
