Guest house on the plot in Mardakan: double your passive income
The main pool house rents 80–90 days a year. A separate 40–60 m² guest house on the same plot adds another 30,000–45,000 AZN of season revenue without disturbing the family.
Who it fits
- Investors — a second unit without buying a new plot.
- Multi-generational families — separate quarters for parents or grown children.
- Owners who live in the main house — rent only the annex.
Layout and size
Optimal: a 30–40 m² studio or 45–60 m² 1+1 with its own entrance, bathroom and kitchenette. Larger duplicates the main house; smaller loses rental rate.
Build cost
| Format | Turnkey |
|---|---|
| Modular 30 m² | 18,000–28,000 AZN |
| Brick 40 m² | 28,000–42,000 AZN |
| Brick 60 m² 1+1 | 42,000–65,000 AZN |
| Premium 60 m² with terrace | 65,000–95,000 AZN |
Income and payback
In July–August a 40 m² guest house in Mardakan rents at 150–250 AZN/night. At 75% occupancy over 60 peak days: 6,750–11,250 AZN. Add May–September and you get 25,000–40,000 AZN per season.
3-year ROI on a 40 m² guest house at 32,000 AZN build cost: 78–125%. The main house doesn't deliver this.
Legal points
- Build permit required over 30 m² or above 3 m height.
- Separate water and electricity meters simplify rental accounting.
- Registration as residential floor area increases the main plot's capitalisation.
- Build density can't exceed 30% of plot under «garden» land use.
