Rare opportunity to acquire a hospitality-oriented property in the Tilarán region of Guanacaste, Costa Rica, featuring existing restaurant infrastructure, a private recreational lake, extensive parking, direct main-road access, and significant potential for future lodging, events and tourism development.

The property spans approximately 15,000 m² (3.7 acres) with around 700 m² of existing construction. Designed for approximately 100 guests, it includes a fully equipped commercial kitchen, dining areas, bathrooms, a souvenir/retail space, furniture, equipment, utilities, permits, liquor license and approximately 30 parking spaces, expandable to about 60.
