Panama Island and Coastal Properties For Sale


News from Panama / Thursday, April 21st, 2011

 

Virgin Coastal Peninsulas, Islands, Beachfront and the incredible lifestyle in the beautiful country of Panama.

While I have visited and lived on many islands, the islands and peninsulas that jut out  into the Pacific waters of Panama are some of the most majestic and beautiful ones of all.  Rugged shorelines, desolate sandy beaches, howler monkeys that come down from the jungle  to greet you and the ever present sound of waves crashing onto the shore. 

With that I bring you some very nice properties  that may be developed in the future or enjoyed today as a private estate here in paradise. 

You will find opportunities in this post to buy a home on a private island in a well planned development for $269,000 to a huge tract of land for your own Eco retreat or resort.

   

Quebrada de Piedra, Chiriqui, Rep de Panama

Asking $800,000 

This property consists of 80 hectares or around 200 acres of oceanfront land.  Located just and hour and a half from David, Panama’s second largest city and an international airport that is undergoing a major expansion this year, this area has started to boom with several marina projects and ocean front community developments.   The property has extensive frontage on a protected cove and the oceanfront side of this Peninsula. There is world class fishing offshore for Marlin at Hannibal Bank, excellent surfing on the Oceanside beach known as Morro Negrito and you are only 45 kilometers from Coiba National Park, the largest island on the pacific coast south of Vancouver.  

 

Just around the point of the peninsula you have a magnificent shoreline and an incredible beach known as Morro Negrito. 

 

 

Morro Negrito beach is a long curvilinear beach with swimming, snorkeling and surfing. 

 

At the end of the beach there is a surf camp accessible by water and several choices including nice surf break out front that runs 5 to 7 feet. 

 

A short boat ride offshore and you can surf P-Land located on the outer island and breaks left. P-Land is one of the most recognized waves at Morro Negrito due to its size and power. This wave is consistently the largest wave at Morro Negrito and will hold surf 20+ feet.

Head out offshore for diving and you will run into pelagic mammals and fish including huge hammerhead sharks, whale sharks, manta rays and humpback whales. 

 

The offshore waters offer an abundance of outdoor activities including  diving and surfing.  For the fisherman, the choices are endless culminating in the world famous Hannibal Bank that is one of three locations in the world for Black marlin and huge Yellowfin Tuna. 

Here is a video of a 700 pounder caught from one of Paradise Fishing Lodge’s boats. 

The property is a fantastic canvas for a vision of either a private estate home for a marine and Eco enthusiast and or a combination first class Eco resort.

 Another property we have that is quite unique is on the Island of Cebaco

Isla Cebaco is one of the largest and most beautiful islands in the Pacific Coast of Panama. With over 8500 hectares covered in primary forest, it is also one of the most pristine and ecological zones in Central America. The property is located on the northern part of the island, facing the island of Coiba, a World Heritage of Mankind and a National Park. This Island Property has 305 hectares of land (750 acres) and boasts 3 kilometers of oceanfront, of which one and a half kilometers consists of privately secluded beaches and the rest of breathtaking sea cliffs. -The land is hilly and covered with a pristine primary tropical forest. It is ideal for construction of homes with sea views.  The ocean is emerald green and quiet year round and thus ideal for scuba diving and snorkeling. Whales can be seen from the beach year round. The longest beach is sandy white and the other two sandy mixed with white pebbles.  The entire property has an excellent depth which allows for the construction of a marina. Application for the marina concession already made to National Maritime Authority.  Master Plan calls for 40-50 high end beach-front villas with 10 hectares (25 acres) of land each and a private 2500 square meter marina for ten boats and a high end 40 room fishing boutique hotel.

If these properties are too big for your island home budget, we do have another Island that we like where you can get in on early discount pricing with the developer  offering some incredible incentives. 

 Isla Palenque, Chiriqui, Rep de Panama

 

 

Isla Palenque is a Pacific Islandoff of Boca Chica, 400 acres of wild, natural beauty. Its beaches, dramatic bluffs, rolling hills and gentle ridges make for ideal ocean views.  Boca Chica is an hour from the international airport at David, the second largest city in Panama.   There is shopping for almost everything that you could want and need in David  as well as expert healthcare in two hospitals and a number of clinics.  

Rare tropical forests, peaceful mangroves, exotic coconut groves and primordial lagoons are scattered over the island, making it an idyllic habitat for an enormous variety of native plants, wildlife… and discriminating travelers. The longer you stay on Isla Palenque, the more it unfolds its mysteries and treasures to you. This is “The Lost Coast” of the Republic of Panama. Located on the Pacific Ocean in the Chiriquí Lowlands near the cities of David and Boquete, the Island community is accessible by sea and air.  

A long-forgotten island sanctuary is now rediscovered as the site of a unique resort which preserves the island’s wild, natural beauty and celebrates a way of life lavish in its exotic setting, its opportunities for adventure, it’s incomparable design and its superlative service. Whether you’re here for a short jaunt filled with adventure sport or a longer foray to decompress and connect with nature, you’ll find sanctuary here.  

These properties offered at Isla Palenque start with island casitas or smaller homes from $269,000 to estate homes for $1,250,000 as well as estate home sites all with covenants shared by the neighbors to insure consistency of the quality of development. Many million dollar estates will locate here. Enjoy swimming, hiking, fishing, diving, horseback riding and a luxury lifestyle.  

 

Here is the 5 bedroom estate home that the developer is building and it will be the showroom and residence for customers coming to Isla Palenque to visit.  The proposal is for the sale and leaseback  of the home where an owner may take advantages of using the residence while the developer uses it as a show case for a period of three years.   This program is especially appropriate for two kinds of home buyers. Investors wanting to purchase early and be able to have the developer cover the costs of ownership for the first three or more years will certainly have great interest in this home. But one need not only have an “investor mindset” to see the value of purchasing early. The developer will also be offering the owner of this home the ability to use it for a few weeks a year while the hotel is under construction and to have free access to the hotel while they are leasing the home.   So anyone who would prefer to close on a home in 2010 and begin enjoying this amazing island immediately instead of waiting until 2012 will also have an interest in this opportunity.   I personally believe that this home will be the premier home of the project. Because it is a model home, the developer is sparing no expense to ensure that it has a “wow” factor to impress prospects: it is the largest home they plan to offer, and it is located on the best lot in the development, with over 100 feet of beachfront on the third-largest beach. In addition, because of its status as a showcase home, the developer is asking every member of the design team to give the home the extra attention it deserves, and demanding an incredibly high level of detailed deliberation. In addition, the developer will personally be on site at least once a month during construction to ensure that the design vision is realized during construction. 

 

THE VILLA ESTATE MODEL HOME : This Villa model home is the largest home offered at The Resort at Isla Palenque. In addition, because of its use as a model home, it will receive much more attention from the design team than any other home, and they have decided to locate the home on arguably the best lot that will ever be created in the project. Features of the Model Home include: 

• Five bedrooms, including two master bedroom suites and a guest house with kitchenette 

• Six and a half bathrooms, including four outdoor showers 

• Over 4500sf of livable space, including over 3500sf of enclosable, conditioned space and some 1000sf of covered living area: ample porches at every bedroom, an outdoor pavilion with its own kitchen, etc 

• A large infinity pool (over 200sf), located off the great room’s enormous deck and with an uninterrupted view of the ocean 

• A privately titled 20,000sf (half acre) lot with 100 feet of beachfront 

• Access to the rest of the island and its amenities, including 5 miles of coastal trails, a 220 acre nature preserve and 1.5 miles of beaches 

• All of the expected specifications of a high-quality, sustainably built vacation home: steel structure; hardwood and bamboo floors and decks; stone counters; custom hardwood doors, windows and millwork; and Kohler- and Viking-level fixtures and appliances. (Exact materials subject to change, though similar quality materials and craftsmanship will always be used.) 

  

 

“I think that there’s no truer place than an island. Whether it’s a sandbar or a bubble-up of volcanic rock or a jut of tropical coral, an island stands only by some whim of fate, given a chancy foothold among the chaos. When I go to an island, I know that I’m in that state of grace in which anything can happen.”       from the book
