Property Description
RARE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY IN HISTORIC DOWNTOWN MARIPOSA
Mariposa County is home to the world-renowned Yosemite National Park, and this exceptional café and restaurant offers an incredible opportunity in the last stop town before Yosemite's main Arch Rock entrance.
Originally built as the Dairy Dell Diner in the 1940s, then later the beloved Sugarpine Restaurant, this charming and historic property is ideally situated directly on Highway 140, the all-weather route to Yosemite that winds along the scenic Merced River.
Most recently operating as the Happy Goat Farm to Table Restaurant, it was a POPULAR breakfast and weekend brunch spot! The property has been recently upgraded with over $200,000 in improvements (completed in 2024). These upgrades include a COMPLETELY REFURBISHED and updated walk-in refrigerator/freezer, all new floors, custom shelving, ice machine, hand sink, cooling equipment, all new lights, sound system, CO2 system, complete interior update including rehabbing and updating all the booths and seating and the entire building was brought up to code. All to seamlessly blend the building's nostalgic character with a modern aesthetic. The restaurant can seat up to 55 patrons and features booths, a staff bathroom and seperate public bathroom, tables, and a classic counter with stools that retain its timeless diner charm. Happy Goat is expanding operations and moving to a new building so this building is now for sale. Perfect for a restaurant entrepreneur who wants a turnkey restaurant with a captive tourist audience.
The Happy Goat has quickly become a local favorite and a must-stop for visitors, offering fresh, locally sourced breakfast and lunch. While breakfast and lunch have long been the tradition at this location, dinner service presents a strong additional income opportunity.
Located in historic downtown Mariposa, the last lodging community before Yosemite's main gate, the area benefits from year-round tourism and is home to hotels, shops, and attractions such as the California State Mineral Exhibit and the Mariposa Museum, which celebrates the region's rich Gold Rush history.
Completely renovated in 2008 and upgraded again in 2024, this turnkey opportunity includes the Property, Equipment, and Business. On- and off-street parking available.
