From the moment that you set foot on this property, you feel like you have stepped back in time! As you walk from the large dock on the ocean over the 200 meter raised wood entrada, you will pass ficus trees measuring up to 15 feet in diameter, a smaller dock on a fresh water stream, caco (cocoa) and coconut trees, and numerous orchids and flora.
This spectacular 24 hectares + 5224 sq meters (61+ acres) is located on Isla San Cristobal, just a 30 minute boat ride from the town of Bocas Del Toro on Isla Bocas or the town of Almirante on the mainland. There is deep water anchorage in a large bay adjancent to the property and the 240 meter shoreline is protected by a reef that extends along the entire side of the island.
The front half of the property includes the entrada, about 18 acres of pasture land with fruit trees (coconut, lime, orange, mango, grapefruit, etc), a few head of cattle, and a teak plantation. The property is fenced, including interior fences, a large shed, caretakers house, freshwater streams and numerous springs. The plantation consists of 5000 teak trees that are 8 years old and cover about 12 acres of the property. These trees are ready to start being thinned and harvested. A saw-mill has been installed on a neighboring teak plantation and I'm certain that arrangements could be made to help mill and transport the wood. Several times the inital investment should be realized over the next 12 years just in the harvesting of the teak!
The back half of the property is approximately 30 acres of pristine jungle. It is absolutely amazing! You can see neighboring islands, the beautiful Caribbean Sea, and the mainland. The jungle abounds with wildlife, (monkeys, sloths, ocelots, etc) and over 150 different species of birds have been spotted in a single day!
The potential for the property is only limited to your imagination. You can escape the rat race of the outside world, enjoy the peace and solitude that this property has to offer, and be in Bocas or Almirante in just 30 minutes.
Sale of the property includes the transfer of an established Panamanian Corporation.
