A breathtaking view of the Caribbean characterizes this property located in the hills of Santa Rita Arriba, Sabanitas, Colon, Republic of Panama. The 290 square meter (3,480 square feet) two-story main house was built in 1983 by the present owners/residents. The spacious upstairs master bedroom has adjoining dressing room/office and bath with ample closet space. Downstairs are two additional bedrooms, one bath, glass-fronted living room, dining room and family room (all rooms enjoy the spectacular view); large kitchen with attached pantry; laundry room; maid’s room with bath; attached two-car garage; covered entryway for additional parking and lots of open parking area. There is a 36-foot x 8-foot-deep swimming pool with cut-stone deck and covered pool house with wet bar. Five rooms are wired for satellite and/or cable TV.

Just 50 feet away is a lovely 76 square meter (820 square feet) guest house, cleverly designed with one bedroom, walk-in closets, large bathroom with shower and combination livingroom/diningroom/kitchen equipped with gas/electricity. Both houses are air-conditioned.

The panoramic view from both houses and pool encompasses Cristobal Bay and ships at anchorage, the port city of Colon and the northern ship entrance to the Panama Canal. Sunrise and sunset are spectacular from this location.

The property is situated on 21.75 hectares (54 acres) of untouched tropical rainforest and canopy, and protects numerous species of plants, animals and birds - an environmentalist and birdwatcher paradise. Two streams run on the property and a nature trail to one is maintained for easy access. Five acres of land around the houses is kept mowed. The adjacent land belongs to Sierra Llorona nature reserve and lodge, and may be viewed at http://www.sierrallorona.com for additional information and perspective.

The majority of the ocean view estate is made up of pristine jungles, aproximately 19-20 hectares worth. Such animals as toucans, parrots, howler monkeys, white faced monkeys, nieques and ocelots can be seen in these jungles.

Large residential properties with such an abundance of nature and peace and quiet within a reasonable distance of civilazaton are few and far between in Panama. Generally suburbian areas in Panama consist of lots no more than 800m2 less than 1/4 of an acre.

Also within 10 minutes of the property is an ecolodge, Sierra Llorona Panama Lodge,  that is well-known among biologist, and bird-watchers alike.

Because of the abundance of pristine jungle areas, and the beautiful view of the Caribbean, this property could serve ideally as an eco lodge or tropical rainforest bed and breakfast getaway. Related Links:
