More about this property

BEERS AND BUTTERFLIES! if you have spent any time between Santa Teresa, Montezuma and much of Costa Rica, then you probably heard of or visited the Butterfly Brewery and Sanctuary. A favorite of locals and expats for more than the past 10 years, this iconic landmark is looking for a new owner. $795,000 USD (NEW PRICE!) for this established business opportunity. Situated at the entrance to Montezuma’s famous upper waterfalls, this versatile turnkey property combines a craft brewery and pub, butterfly garden, and bed-and-breakfast potential. It sits on two commercial lots—one vacant for future expansion or added guest rooms, and the other with the main operating facilities. The Restaurant The ground level of the main building houses a fully licensed restaurant and bar featuring a ten-tap beer and soda system, along with a souvenir shop, office space, and two restrooms. A large deck with seating for up to 35 guests overlooks the jungle, where visitors can often spot howler monkeys and other wildlife while dining. The Bed and Breakfast Upstairs are three air-conditioned bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a complete kitchen—perfect for either private living quarters or guest accommodations. The Brewery The brewery structure offers a dedicated brewing room, fermentation area, commercial kitchen, two bathrooms, plus an outdoor kitchen and keg-washing station. Its upper level includes a small bedroom with a balcony, currently functioning as an art studio but easily adapted for staff housing. Other features include a bottling and labeling section, cold storage, tool shed, and a loft designed for raising caterpillars. The Butterflies The on-site butterfly garden—uniquely attached to a brewery and recently renovated—welcomes visitors to wander through a habitat filled with butterflies and a fish pond, while enjoying fresh craft beer or sodas. It has become a favorite educational attraction for families and travellers alike. Monkeys! Up close and personal, you will often find howler monkeys and white face, just feet away from your dining. And lets not get started on birds. This is a restaurant in the jungle after all. Practical systems support the property, including both municipal water and a private well with irrigation, plus a 56-panel solar installation producing between 800–1,100 KWH per month. The current owners live on the property and discontinued the B&B operation in 2020. For those seeking a lifestyle investment that blends business opportunities with Costa Rica’s natural beauty, this property offers a rare and exciting chance.
