Brewery, Butterfly Garden & Restaurant at Montezuma Waterfalls

Description

Butterfly Land and Restaurant is a prime commercial property positioned at the entrance to Montezuma's iconic Upper Waterfalls, one of the Nicoya Peninsula's most visited natural attractions. This turnkey hospitality and tourism business comprises two adjoining commercial lots totaling 4,229 square meters of lush tropical forest land, complete with comprehensive infrastructure for restaurant operations, craft brewery, and short-term vacation rentals. The main building houses a fully licensed restaurant and bar with seating capacity for up to 35 guests. The ground floor features a professional ten-tap draft system for craft beers and soft drinks, a souvenir shop, office space, and guest restrooms. An expansive open-air terrace allows diners to experience the surrounding jungle environment, often accompanied by the natural ambiance of howler monkeys and tropical bird calls. The upper floor contains three air-conditioned guest rooms with en suite bathrooms and a full kitchen, providing flexible accommodation for either owner occupancy or short-term rental income generation. A separate brewery building is fully equipped with a dedicated brew room, fermentation space, commercial kitchen, two bathrooms, and a dedicated keg-cleaning area. The upper level currently functions as an artist's studio with balcony access and can be readily converted into additional lodging or workspace. A recently renovated butterfly garden serves as a distinctive tourism attraction, drawing both locals and international visitors. It is the only butterfly garden in Costa Rica directly integrated with a brewery operation, creating a unique experiential offering that sets this property apart in the region. One of the two commercial lots remains undeveloped, presenting substantial opportunity for expansion. Additional guest accommodations, retail space, event facilities, or other hospitality-focused development can be implemented to maximize the property's earning potential. Infrastructure and utilities are comprehensive: municipal water supply, a private well with irrigation system, and a 56-panel solar installation generating 800 to 1,100 kWh monthly, significantly reducing operational costs and supporting sustainable business practices. The property provides parking for four vehicles and is equipped with all systems necessary for immediate operational commencement. Butterfly Land and Restaurant represents a rare acquisition opportunity for entrepreneurs seeking an established, revenue-generating tourism and hospitality business in an exceptionally desirable location, with ample room for creative growth and diversification.
