Purchase & Construction Timeline

A $2,500 deposit secures your lot and house selection. Construction begins after a 20% downpayment and typically completes within 8-10 months. The development team manages the entire construction process, ensuring quality and timely delivery.

Interior Layout

The main house features a thoughtfully designed open-concept living area that seamlessly integrates the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. The 14-foot high ceilings throughout create an airy atmosphere while providing natural ventilation, essential for Panama's year-round warm climate.

The modern kitchen opens to the living area, offering flexibility in furniture arrangement - whether you prefer a formal dining setup or a more casual living space configuration. Adjacent to the kitchen, you'll find a convenient laundry area with connections for your washer and dryer installation, alongside a half bathroom that can be converted into a pantry if desired.

The sleeping quarters in the main house are well-organized with three bedrooms. The master bedroom features its own private en-suite bathroom. The remaining two bedrooms share a well-designed bathroom with dual access - one bedroom has direct entry to the bathroom, while both rooms can access it through separate doors. All bathrooms are efficiently designed with a compact yet comfortable layout.

Guest House

The property includes a detached guest house, perfect for visiting family, long-term guests, or rental opportunities. This private space features its own bedroom, ensuite bathroom, and a compact kitchenette, providing complete independence for occupants.
