Contemporary Styled 2 Bed Garden Home for Sale in Volcancito Arriba, Boquete, Chiriqui, Panama

Contemporary Home in Harmony with Nature with Orchid Garden

We call this ‘The Japanese House’. It is a contemporary styled property whose architect successfully integrated a spacious, high ceilinged interior with nature. The many windows look out onto woodland, the mountains, pine trees and coffee. Inside, there are two indoor gardens, the most impressive is an orchid garden in a glass atrium with 15 different native orchids to date. The altitude and micro-climate of this property is perfect for orchids. The second, a shade garden, is backed by a traditional, curved, solid stone wall. The idea was to harness the energy of the interior space for creativity, music, writing and art.

The house has a large master bedroom with solid teak built in closet and a huge stone floored bathroom. This bathroom has a picture window, inside the house, that looks out onto the shade garden. A glass door opens from the master bedroom onto a private west facing terrace. A second bedroom or office opens into the second guest bathroom. The expansive interior space could easily be converted into a third bedroom if required. The quality contemporary styled kitchen is from Argentina, with appliances, including a dishwasher, and a handsome granite counter top that extends over a breakfast bar. There is a studio or living room that is completely surrounded by a wide, covered ‘corridor’, with views up towards the mountains.

The gardens have mature, high quality, Arabica, high-altitude coffee that easily yields enough coffee for a family for a year. The house was completed in March 2009 and sits in approximately 2500 sq m of garden. There are around 3000 sq ft under roof. The property was originally part of a small three lot development and shares an electric entrance gate. This property comes with high speed internet. There are two excellent sources of managed water.

The location is 7km above Boquete on a good road. The property is very peaceful, away from the road, with lovely views from the gardens to the volcano. It is possible to walk up from the property through a coffee estate and on towards the National Park. The owners are British, falling property prices in the UK and the excellent dollar pound exchange rate means we can offer this property for $249000 or near offer.
