Outstanding business opportunity. Hotel / Resort / Restaurant / Brewery, successfully operating since 1992. The Hotel has 21 rooms with private bathrooms, some with a fireplace and/or kitchenette. Large swimming pool, large jacuzzi, tennis court, large laundry area. Excellent road access, professionally landscaped gardens and green zones. Dairy and pigs on the farm for a great family attraction! Most of the electricity comes from renewable sources (solar, biogas) which keeps the utility bills to a minimum. The bar is rented to a third party and pays a free and clear 25% of total income on a per month basis just as is the restaurant kitchen that pays 15% of plate sales per month, both year round. Note all related expenses including electricity, employees and all purchases generating sales and taxes are paid by the bar-restaurant tenants. The local Chef and his partner are trained in international cuisine, both are dedicated to the restaurant and the client's experience! Great food, great ambiance, and musical events on a regular basis. The on-site 3.5 barrel Regional Brewery pays $2,000 rent per month on 100m2 space and serves as the main attraction for the bar-restaurant. The brewery produces six types of beer, selling them not only at the bar/restaurant but also at La Fortuna Pub and the Monteverde Beer House with additional sales in the capital city ( San Jose), Jaco, and Coco beach among others! The off-premises sales generate traffic to the bar restaurant, quite unusual for a hotel to be known for great and reasonably priced food here in Costa Rica. Appraised at $2,600,000.-- the hotel is offered for sale at $2,000,000.-- or a 51% ownership at $1,326,000.--
