Vacation/Retirement Getaway for Sale in Bocas, Panama

Lovely Rainforest Home with Ocean Views on Quiet Island

Dreaming of life in Bocas? Here is your perfect home. Located only 10 minutes by boat from the town of Bocas, but in a peaceful and quiet setting. Our little dream house is perfect for you if you love to be warm but want cooling breezes, views of the Caribbean, a garden with fruits, flowers and fragrance year-round and to live close to nature.

Our home is built high in the canopy with shade and incredible views of birds, the sea and the surrounding area. It is situated to take advantage of the prevailing breezes, so is always cool.

It is off the grid with a state of the art solar system, propane gas refrigerator and freezer, on-demand hot water heater and gas stove. It includes the latest Sunmar self-composting toilet system and a rainwater catchment system with a roof-cleaning system and 1,800 gallons of fresh filtered water available at all times. There is also a state of the art alarm system included with the house.

There is a 1/2-acre garden with palm trees, mango, and avocado and apple trees. There are several varieties of bananas, heliconia, hibiscus and ginger, plus many other varieties of fruits and flowers including the exotic Ylang Ylang tree. The blossoms from this tree are the essence used to make Chanel No. 5.

Birds include the most beautiful variety of hummingbirds, Oropendula, Amazon parrots, parotlets, bay wrens, tanagers, thrushes and others.

A new 40” LCD TV, stereo, DVD player, couches, dishes, many tools and most furnishings are also included.

Downsides? The inside of the house still needs shelves and counters. But, the cedar is ready to install and all the tools are on site and included in the purchase price. It is located in a project where the developer hasn’t yet fulfilled all his promises, but we have an easy access to the sea and a boathouse started. We lived there for 2 years in utter joy and happiness.

We have invested over $200,000 in this house and property to get to this point. Construction costs have gone up dramatically since we built, so I consider it a bargain at $159,000. It is ROP with a share in the Corporation as ownership. Our attorneys have approved all documents.

It is 5 minutes from the entry to Red Frog Beach and Hospital Point. The ideal location in a paradise setting.

Will consider financing secured by U.S. real estate or a trade for similar property. Please contact me for more information.
