Colon Province, Caribbean, Colon

This 55-hectare farm sits directly along the main road in Costa Arriba de Colón, approximately 1.5 km from Miramar and 2 km from Cuango. The location allows consistent access year-round, which is an important factor in this part of Colón where larger properties are often set back from primary roads.

The property is currently used for cattle breeding and already has the structure in place to continue operating from day one. Internal divisions, fencing, water sources, and established pasture reduce the need for upfront investment.

As you walk the land, the layout becomes clear. Rolling terrain moves naturally across the property, creating defined grazing areas and circulation paths without requiring major land modification.

Land & Current Operation

The farm manages approximately 73 head of cattle. Based on the existing pasture, around 31 hectares of improved grass (Brachiria humidicola) and 5 hectares of natural pasture—the land can support an estimated 2 to 3 head per hectare per year, reaching close to 95 cattle annually under proper management.

The internal organization supports this operation:

• Seven divided paddocks (potreros)
• Perimeter and internal electric fencing (two-wire system on wooden posts)
• Rotational grazing setup already in use

This is a working system, not a theoretical layout. The divisions and access between paddocks allow for controlled movement of livestock and better pasture management.

Soil, Water & Vegetation

The soil shows a predominantly red coloration, indicating iron-rich composition. In practical terms, this supports drainage and aeration, which are important for maintaining pasture conditions in a tropical climate.

Water is available through four wetland areas that remain active year-round. These serve as a consistent resource for livestock and reduce dependency on external water systems.

Vegetation across the property reflects both agricultural use and natural regeneration:

• Improved and natural pasture covering approximately 66% of the land
• Secondary forest representing about 32% of the property
• Small-scale agricultural areas (around 2%) used for crops such as plantain, cassava, corn, sugarcane, and pitahaya

There is also a mix of established trees across the land:

• Fruit trees: mango, lemon, cashew, guava, nance, guaba, coconut
• Timber species: teak, African mahogany, acacia mangium, eucalyptus, cedar, palo maría

These are already part of the property’s landscape and contribute to shade, soil protection, and potential long-term use.

Existing Structures

The property includes existing structures that support its current use:

• Two residential homes
• A swimming pool
• A traditional rancho

These structures provide functional space for staff, owners, or operational support. They are not positioned as high-end residential features, but they allow the property to be used immediately without starting from zero.

The property includes a main house, outdoor social areas, and additional utility structures that support both residential use and agricultural activity.

Main House

The main residence sits on an elevated portion of the land, taking advantage of the natural topography and opening up to views of the surrounding greenery and the Caribbean in the distance.

The home features a practical two-level layout:

• Upper level with multiple bedrooms, high ceilings, and windows that bring in natural light and cross ventilation
• Ground level with kitchen, dining, and living areas connected to outdoor spaces
• Covered terrace that extends the living area and allows for outdoor seating and daily use

The construction combines concrete and wood elements, with tiled floors on the lower level and wood finishes on the upper floor, giving the home a functional layout that works well for a farm setting or coastal lifestyle.

Outdoor & Social Areas

Next to the main house, there is a dedicated outdoor area designed for gathering and day-to-day use:

• Covered bohío-style structure with bar and seating area
• Swimming pool with surrounding deck space
• Open layout that allows views toward the vegetation and coastline

This section of the property works well as a social area or could be adapted for guest use if the property is positioned for short-term rentals or eco-tourism.

Water System & Infrastructure

The property includes a water storage system with a large elevated tank, helping ensure consistent water availability across the property—especially important for agricultural operations.

Utility Structures

There are additional simple structures on the property currently used for:

• Storage
• Basic farm operations
• Animal management (including poultry)

These structures are functional and support the current use of the land, while also leaving room for upgrades depending on the buyer’s plans.

Practical Considerations

Several elements of this property stand out from a practical perspective:

• Direct frontage on the main coastal road simplifies access and logistics
• Established cattle operation with defined paddocks and fencing
• Year-round water availability through natural wetlands
• A combination of pasture and forest that supports both current use and land management flexibility

The terrain is entirely rolling (undulating), which works well for grazing but should be considered in any future development planning.

About the Area – Costa Arriba de Colón

Located in Colón Province, this property sits along Panama’s Caribbean coastline in a region known for its natural landscape and cultural identity.

Costa Arriba connects to towns such as Portobelo and La Guaira, where you’ll find a strong Afro-Caribbean influence, local cuisine, and historic sites. The area also provides access to beaches and nearby islands like Isla Grande and Isla Mamey.

For outdoor use, Portobelo National Park offers trails, forest areas, and coastal scenery. At the same time, Colón remains one of Panama’s key commercial provinces due to the Panama Canal and the Colón Free Zone.
