Single Family Home for Sale and Rent in Contadora Island, Panama

5B/4B Home on Tropical Island of Contadora, Panama

Would you like to own a vacation or year round home on a gorgeous tropical island with white sand beaches and turquoise waters with potential to generate investment income?

Come see for yourself. We have lived on this island for six years since we moved to Panama from California. This charming 5B/4B home is located on the exclusive island of Contadora - the "Martha's Vineyard" of Central America with vacation homes of the "Who's Who" of Panama, and from around the world.

Panama has been voted the #1 retirement place for a number of years now. The American dollar is the currency of Panama, Spanish the main language with English #2. Contadora is below the hurricane belt and earthquake free.

Contadora has lush green vegetation from June - February, tropical birds, and warm turquoise gentle water brimming with tropical fish. Although Panama has a dry and a wet season, the rains on Contadora are usually limited to late afternoon and during the night for a few hours from June - November. Tourists come from colder climates, and from the mainland of Panama, to enjoy the sunny weather, beautiful white sand beaches and warm waters year round.

The very laid-back relaxed tempo of island life offers a variety of ways to spend your sun-drenched days; whale watching in July - October, fishing year round, bird watching year round especially from November - March, kayaking to uninhabited islands, and, for the sun lovers, soaking up the sun on one of your favorite beaches.

The white sand beaches are in protected coves with waves gently lapping on the shore, perfect for swimming and snorkeling right off the beach. After a leisurely day at the beach or fishing, you can relax with a drink while enjoying a breathtaking view of the sunset over the ocean. As day gives way to night, the island becomes a star gazer's delight.

This home has been completely remodeled by the present owner in 2006 and is in immaculate condition. Each room features French doors opening onto a spacious patio overlooking lush green areas. There is a large bohio - a thatched covered structure - with tiled floors and an area for cooking and outside entertaining.

The house is fully outfitted down to the last teaspoon. Owner has another two homes on Contadora and one in Albrook outside Panama City on the mainland and will be residing in Panama for the forseeable future.

If you are open to living in another country and culture, in a natural and very peaceful environment come and see for yourself. The night life on this island is what you make it. You would need to be comfortable with a laid back life style.
