The Tatra Alps and Vysne Ruzbachy - an all year round holiday destination
The High Tatra Alps is Slovakia’s premier all year round tourist destination for not only skiing, but also hiking, mountaineering and family summer holidays. Golf is beginning to take off and there over 110 mountain lakes and remote caves to explore. There is also the stunning Spis Castle, a UNESCO world heritage site. Vysne Ruzbachy is centuries old with a spa history is fast becoming the place to head to in the High Tatra Alps in Slovakia. This region is even more beautiful during the summer than in the winter, which explains why Slovaks head for the hills in their droves for all kinds of summer outdoor pursuits.
Pinewood Valley - Ski right from your front door!
At Pinewood Valley you can ski right from your front door down to the ski station with access to the ski lifts, ski services, a ski school and restaurant. Night time skiing on two of the blue downhill runs is available three times a week and for children, young and old, there is snow tubing and excellent local ski schools to keep them occupied. The development itself will have a public restaurant, communal sauna and hot tub.
In Vysne Ruzbachy, where Pinewood Valley is located, snow falls are abundant, providing a constant winter snow cover up to 2 metres thick. There are eight ski runs in total, mostly served by T lifts (up to 950m). For the more advanced skiers, there are a variety of slopes within a 20 minute drive to suit all tastes.
An excellent combination of lifestyle and investment
Not only is Pinewood Valley a great lifestyle project, but it is also an excellent investment package. Prices are from £45,000. The banks are providing 70% mortgages at 6.5% interest for 25 years and will provide 100% of the valuation. There is also no stamp duty in Slovakia and the completion costs compared to many countries are exceptional.
The developer on this project is also an established English tour operator based in Cyprus and this gives the investor reduced risk when the project completes. Rental yields, net of operating costs, are predicted to start from at least 6%-7%. With a tour operator that will manage rentals, it allows the investor peace of mind that the projected yields are achievable. The recent news that Pinewood Valley will have a public restaurant will increase its visibility to all skiers.
