This is the view from the south side of the home looking up to the Baru Volcano.
NEW REDUCED PRICE:
This is the most beautiful home available in the Volcan Highlands of Panama. The price is $425,900 USD. (negotiable)
This beautifully spacious, estate home is located in the pristine highland mountains of Western Panama, in the small mountain town of Volcan. Located on Calle 3 Norte (paved), directly across from the Nueva California School.
The home features 2 bedrooms (both with en suite bathrooms) 2 fireplaces, large and spacious living and dining areas - a full featured kitchen and oodles of beautifully landscaped gardens. There is a clear unobstructed view to Panama's highest peak, the 11,400 foot Baru Volcano (don't worry the volcano has been quiet for the past 500 years and we expect that to continue)
THE FULL LEGAL DESCRIPTION is at the bottom of this page.
BELOW is a plot plan of the home. We will start our guided tour from the main (south facing entrance)
As you enter the main door to your right is the well appointed bar. The floors are expensively tiled throughout. Note the high cathedral style ceilings.
Turning to our LEFT we walk down into the dining area. There is a fireplace in the corner dating back to the original house. Why a fireplace in tropical Panama you may ask? Well, the elevation of Volcan is 4,500 feet. So the days are never too hot and the nights are wonderfully cool and fresh. You should never need expensive air conditioning but on those cool rainy nights . . . a warm and cosy fire is priceless!
Looking back (south facing) into the dining area we see the fireplace on the right and a long local hardwood hutch to the left.
There is a large island in the kitchen and the windows face out onto the landscaped garden (so even when you wash the dishes here - the views are breathtaking)
Turning right from the kitchen we pass along a wide corridor that leads to the guest bedroom.
The guest bedroom comes with its own en suite bathroom and shower.
Along the connecting corridor is a large screen TV above a second fireplace.
The quality and good taste of the owners is clearly evident throughout the home. In the North East corner of the home is the utility room (see map below)
On the East side of the home we find the master bedroom.
There are South facing windows in this room so each morning you are warmed and greeted by the rising sun.
There is a dressing area with closets and a vanity mirror across from the King sized bed. The room also features a small office area. So if sleep evades you - hey! why not quickly check your emails?
The master bedroom has its own en suite bathroom and shower.
Now we pass across to the West side of the home (see map) and to the covered car port and patio.
It does rain in Panama and you will be eternally grateful that you can drive right into your home without ever needing an umbrella.
The landscaping in this home is exceptional. The owners tell me that they have a full time gardener and the local man is to be commended for doing an outstanding job. There are many different flowers throughout the gardens and occasionally your senses will be warmed by the sweet perfume from various exotic plants.
This is the location of the home. As you can see, you are close to all the conveniences including supermarkets, banks with ATM's and hardware stores. And one block south of your home is a first rate Spanish style coffee shop and bakery.
