Westtown Retail for Lease - Monroe
Offered at $599,000, this prime turn-key restaurant opportunity includes the real property and represents an exceptional owner-user or investment acquisition in the heart of Westtown, New York. The 2,610 SF stand-alone retail building (approximately $229.50 per square foot) sits on a 0.25-acre parcel with 222 feet of frontage along Route 284, providing outstanding visibility and consistent vehicular traffic. Home to Westtown Fare Restaurant & Bar, a well-established local dining destination, the property features a spacious dining room, full-service bar area, fully equipped commercial kitchen, storage space, air conditioning, and eight on-site parking spaces. The two-story structure, originally built in 1850, offers character and charm while supporting modern restaurant operations, making it ideal for continued hospitality use or repositioning to a new food and beverage concept, café, specialty retail operation, or mixed-use adaptation subject to local approvals under its NC – Neighborhood Commercial zoning designation.
Positioned within the broader growth trajectory of Orange County, the property benefits from continued population migration into the Hudson Valley, driven by buyers relocating from New York City and Northern New Jersey in search of affordability, space, and lifestyle amenities. Surrounding communities such as Warwick and the greater Minisink area have experienced steady residential development and reinvestment, fueling increased demand for quality dining and experiential retail. The Hudson Valley’s sustained appeal as a destination for agritourism, wineries, outdoor recreation, and farm-to-table culinary experiences further strengthens the long-term positioning of this asset. With limited supply of free-standing restaurant buildings offering dedicated parking and strong road frontage, and with replacement costs for land acquisition, construction, and commercial kitchen build-out far exceeding the current asking price, 795 Route 284 presents a compelling opportunity to acquire a landmark hospitality property at an attractive basis and capitalize on the continued economic and demographic momentum of the region.
