400193913116 - Premium High-Visibility Lake Arenal Commercial Location Established Restaurant, Residence & Panoramic Lake Views - Situated in a prime, highly sought-after commercial location along the busy route connecting Nuevo Arenal and La Fortuna, this exceptional property presents a rare opportunity to acquire premium commercial real estate overlooking Lake Arenal. With its prominent main-road frontage, easy accessibility, spectacular panoramic lake and mountain views, and established restaurant facilities, the property occupies an enviable position in an area where commercial premises are in extremely limited supply. The addition of a separate two-bedroom residence further enhances its appeal to entrepreneurs and investors seeking a combination of business potential and residential accommodation.Constructed within the past seven years and maintained in pristine condition, this impressive two-story property occupies an elevated position above the surrounding streetscape, providing commanding views of Lake Arenal and the mountains beyond. Its prominent roadside presence offers excellent visibility to passing traffic along a well-traveled corridor frequented by tourists, Costa Rican residents, and the area’s established expatriate community.Set on approximately 1,605 square meters (0.39 acres), the property offers 195.90 square meters (2,109 square feet) of construction arranged over two levels, with additional land providing potential for future improvements.The upper level accommodates a fully furnished and equipped restaurant with seating for 42 guests indoors, complemented by a generously proportioned covered terrace that wraps around the building. From this elevated vantage point, patrons can enjoy open-air dining while taking in spectacular panoramic views of Lake Arenal and the surrounding mountains. High ceilings with exposed structural beams, abundant natural light, and expansive windows create an inviting atmosphere that takes full advantage of the property’s setting.The restaurant is being sold fully furnished and equipped, with its existing fixtures, fittings, furniture, and commercial kitchen equipment included in the purchase price. The spacious kitchen features stainless-steel cooking equipment, a commercial ventilation and extraction system, generous food preparation areas, and dedicated washing facilities. A separate café and service counter adds versatility to the dining operation. Guest facilities include separate washrooms, one designated for wheelchair accessibility, while a dedicated access ramp provides convenient, barrier-free entry to the elevated restaurant level.While the property is currently configured as a fully furnished and equipped restaurant, its commercial potential extends well beyond the hospitality sector. Its prominent Main Street location, excellent visibility, and generous interior space make it equally attractive for an entirely different commercial purpose. Whether continuing as a traditional Costa Rican restaurant, introducing a new dining concept, or adapting the premises for another business venture, the property offers considerable flexibility, subject to applicable permits and approvals.The lower level features a spacious, self-contained two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment with its own private ground-level entrance. The open-concept layout combines a comfortable living area with a practical kitchen featuring attractive countertops, wood cabinetry, and a breakfast bar. Both bedrooms enjoy natural light, while tiled floors, recessed lighting, and contemporary finishes contribute to the apartment’s clean, well-maintained appearance. Offered unfurnished, the apartment provides a blank canvas for an owner-operator wishing to live directly beneath their business. Alternatively, it could be equipped for short- or long-term rental accommodation, or office space, creating the potential for an independent income stream. This flexibility allows a purchaser to consider both the commercial operation and residential component when evaluating the property’s overall income potential, subject to applicable regulations.The grounds currently provide parking for approximately four vehicles, with additional land offering potential for expanded parking or future improvements. Prominent roadside signage further enhances the property’s commercial visibility. The entire property has been meticulously maintained and presents in pristine condition, allowing a new owner to focus on establishing their business rather than undertaking substantial renovations.Location & Surrounding Attractions - The property’s location along the scenic route between Nuevo Arenal and La Fortuna places it within easy reach of some of Costa Rica’s most popular tourist attractions.
