More about the property - Tropical Mountain Home

The home is not visible from the road, affording excellent visual and acoustic privacy. All exterior openings (windows and doors) have lockable steel security shutters or permanent steel bars for excellent security. It was designed to be extremely secure for leaving vacant when necessary.  The current owners report they have left the house unattended for many extended occasions without incident.  With the gate locked and the steel security shutters closed, the entire house is like a fortress. Built with welded steel, cement and tile construction, this fabulous house is soundproof, very fire resistant and insulated.  Its thoughtful construction also provides extraordinary seismic protection.

The exterior French doors are custom made of almendro (almond wood), a vary hard and  heavy tropical hardwood. The interior doors are custom made teak.  All of the exterior security doors and window shutters are made of steel.

The property is in a quiet neighborhood well above the bustle of the Boquete downtown.  The current owners report that the neighboring families are excellent.   They also cite that the "glory of this location is threefold: the huge view, the huge tree and the perfect climate."

More from the owners:

• "The view goes from Punta Burica in the southwest (60 miles to the southwestern tip of Panama) along the Pacific coast 35 miles to the south, and southeastward 90 miles to the Isla Coiba, a viewscape of 250 square miles."
•  "The big tree: it is a strangler fig of the Ficus family, what the Panamanians call a “higueron.” It has been estimated to be 275± years old.  In wonderful health, its center is hollow where the former host tree grew.  A higueron tree starts as a vine that climbs the host tree, then it blooms out to become a full tree on its own. The host tree is strangled and dies, leaving the beautiful center chimney. Using the many handholds, we have climbed up forty feet to the “porthole” that faces southeast."
• "The climate is perfect. In the tropics (8.5° north latitude here) it is hot at the coast and in David, with days in the high 80s and mid 90s. But, as you gain altitude, the temperature drops 3° for every 1,000 feet. So, at our house at 4,920' above sea level, we are 14° to 15° cooler than the Pacific seashore. Our days are in the low 60s when we have breakfast, and the high 70s at mid-day. Nights are in the low 60s.  We have seen temperatures above 80° no more than five or six times in 18 years."

There is a transferrable tax exemption on the house to March 5, 2029.
