THE LAND
These beautiful apartments sit on a TITLED waterfront lot of 7363.48 m2 and include the adjoining Right of Possession jungle lot of 2.5595 Hectares, together they make a total of 3 hectares and 2958 m2. The property is located on the leeward side of the island in an extremely private area of Isla Bastimentos near Salt Creek. Uniquely, the coastline of Residencia Natural transitions quickly from lush wild jungle to 101 meters of exquisite golden, sandy beach and calm waters. Usually on the leeward sides of the Bocas del Toro islands there are thick belts of Mangrove between the land and the ocean, but on this Eastern tip of Isla Bastimentos, the best of both worlds is found... Calm clear waters for swimming and sandy shores. An attractive element of the Residencia Natural is the incredible opportunity for expansion. Only one thirds of the titled land is used and all of the ROP land is completely natural.
