Description:

This 2.49 acres oceanfront East facing, titled property (quite rare in the Bocas del Toro archipelago) has wonderful sunrises over the bay and a nice coral reef in front of the palapa, with dolphins playing nearby all year long. A great variety of flowers and fruit trees are growing on the pleasantly shaded land where you can see and hear many bird species.

The well-finished, functional and comfortable house was designed to blend into its surroundings and have minimal impact on nature. With a total area of 2152 square feet, it is built of local hardwood (nispero) on a cement foundation. Upstairs are the kitchen, the open dining room/deck, the living room, and the master bedroom with its bathroom. Downstairs are another bedroom with ensuite bathroom, laundry, technical storage and a lot of free space currently used as additional storage and workshop which could be converted to create additional rooms.

Rain water collection and storage generously supply the house with running water throughout the year, and a very efficient solar system provides all the electricity needed daily (refrigerator, washing machine, ceiling fans, computers, flat screen TV, vacuum cleaner, small power tools, water pump and light bulbs). The Yamaha backup generator is used only occasionally to run big power tools.

A thatch-covered dock shelters the boat and a small hut with fresh water and electricity is used to store the kayak, gas tanks and other accessories. The 20 feet boat with Yamaha four stroke engine comes with the property, as well as all appliances, furniture and tools, making this a real ready-to-live-in property. Sailboats can be anchored or moored in front of the house, beyond the small coral reef. At the end of the dock, a recently built palapa offers cool breezes and unobstructed views over the bay.

The property is located in a small 102 acres eco-development with a park, orchards and several miles of well-maintained trails, allowing for nice walks under huge old trees where it is not uncommon to hear howler monkeys and see sloths.

Several small local grocery shops, gas stations and restaurants are less than 10 minutes by boat, and the property is about 20 minutes from Bocas and 30 minutes from Almirante. The house has high speed Internet and good cell phone coverage.

For less than $250,000.00, this property, which allows for immediate occupancy, really meets all the ingredients for happy days in a privileged area.
