Restaurant, Shop and Home – A Rare Turnkey Property in Punta Uva

Set on the main road at the entrance to Playa Grande beach, this unique property combines lifestyle and business potential in one of Punta Uva’s most desirable locations. With three distinct buildings - a private home, a fully equipped restaurant and bar, and a newly built shop space - this is a turnkey opportunity for someone who dreams of running a business and living on-site in the heart of the South Caribbean.

Beyond its functionality, the property is part of a thriving natural ecosystem where the rhythm of daily life is shared with the surrounding wildlife. Capuchin, Howler, and Spider monkeys are frequent visitors in the treetops, while great green macaws, toucans, and countless tropical birds fill the mornings with sound and color. Towering trees shade the property and serve as vital habitat, offering a constant reminder of the deep connection between people and place.

The property spans 1,350m² and has been lovingly developed since its original purchase in 2005. The main house, built in 2006, is a charming Santa Fe inspired residence featuring warm wood beams, arched doorways, and artistic tile accents. It includes two bedrooms, one full bathroom, and a loft area ideal for an office or yoga space. The open design keeps the home cool year-round, complemented by a covered hardwood patio perfect for outdoor living. A separate driveway with gated entrance and carport allows for complete privacy behind the commercial areas.

The restaurant and bar, first opened in 2008, has become a recognized favorite local establishment with seating for 32 guests and permits allowing bar service until 2 a.m. Built with a distinctive round layout of 28m² and expanded rancho-style seating areas, it features a full kitchen and bathroom, excellent drainage, and an active Ministerio de Salud certificate valid until 2030. All commercial permissions are current, and the business is fully operational with financial records available upon request.

The third structure, completed in June 2025, is a modern 80m² shop building designed for visibility along the main road. With ample windows, tile flooring, and ceiling fans, it’s ideally suited for selling pre-made or frozen goods from the restaurant, or for transforming into a boutique, café, or other commercial use.

Located just 300 meters from Playa Grande beach, where surf and sand seem endless, and 500 meters from Punta Uva beach, the property benefits from constant local and tourist traffic yet retains a relaxed Caribbean atmosphere. It’s also minutes from the Ara Project and a short 10 minute drive to Puerto Viejo, offering both convenience and exposure.

Every corner of this property tells a story. The current owners created each structure themselves, raised their family here, and cultivated the gardens and trees that now define the landscape. They hope to find the next steward, someone who will cherish the same beauty, respect the wildlife that thrives here, and continue to nurture what they have so carefully created.

All utilities are in place, including a private well and three new ICE electrical meters. The property holds all current operational permissions, and the process of full title registration is already underway, with documentation available for review.

For the entrepreneur seeking a Caribbean lifestyle with strong commercial potential, and for the nature lover who understands the privilege of coexisting with the jungle, this is a rare and soulful offering: a place to live, work, and preserve a small piece of paradise.
