The announcement of the sale of the corporate rights of Dragobrat LLC has recently appeared on the OLX marketplace. Cottages, a hotel, ski lifts, snowmobiles, a ski equipment rental center, etc. on a 1.7-hectare plot of land are estimated at $2.75 million, or almost UAH 116 million at the NBU exchange rate.

  • a five-story hotel with 33 rooms and a restaurant,
  • a two-storey building (medical center, game room, staff dormitory)
  • sauna with swimming pool,
  • ski equipment rental,

  • two snowmobiles, three bulldozers and diesel generators of 120 and 200 kW,
  • a 630 kVA transformer substation,

The announcement also states that the certificate of ownership for the 1.76-hectare land plot also belongs to Dragobrat LLC.

Ivan Zezekalo, co-owner of Dragobrat LLC, confirmed to the publication his intention to sell the asset.

“The reason for the sale is that the owners who founded it, the Bidni brothers, unfortunately, died. And it’s not convenient for us from Poltava to manage all this because we are doing other things. The business is profitable – the ski lifts on Dragobrat do not require artificial snow, and this is where the money is earned,” said Zezekalo.
