Welcome to Val Jala, a truly magical place up in the mountains above Boquete town. As you enter the compound, you immediately notice the quiet solitude and the verdant landscaping.
Your driveway takes you through the forest that adds privacy from the main road. The trees are overgrown with mosses and lichen from the rich mountain air. The morning air is crisp and the mountain quickly shakes off the clouds.
As you approach the home, you notice several ponds with lilies blooming.
Walk up to the ponds and the Koi come up ready to be fed.
The home is roofed in 100 year old clay tiles and the entry invites you in.
As you enter the home, you see a beautifully decorated kitchen open to the living and dining areas

DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
The property has further development potential and can be implemented immediately or at a later date as a way to sell off parts of the property at profit.
Here is a plan showing the existing conditions of the 2.09 hectare part of property.
The property is highlighted in yellow and the common access road is in green. A home was developed and sold off to a couple who live there now and are wonderful people. The caretaker’s residence is in the upper right of the property. Taking this a step further, I am outlining a concept for further development.
I have planned an extended access road and segregated three lots for three more residences keeping the main residence shown as Finca 30200 as it presently exists and presently fenced off. This compound would share a double entrance off of the main road, a caretaker, a lovely green space entry feature and the homes would have spacing and privacy on larger lots.
Please let us take you on a real tour of this fine property soon before this opportunity is no longer available.
