THE HOME

With front row seats to the incredible BLUFF BEACH, the house catches the best ocean views and sea breezes throughout. This solid 3 story hardwood home has 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, and 2 covered verandas, made almost entirely of Nispero, an exotic hard wood which is highly sought after for its incredible characteristics which make it virtually indestructible. Growing natively in Bocas del Toro, the wood is resistant to local pests and fungi, the wood is so dense that it sinks in water! Milled Nispero is rare to find these days and this amazing material adds value to the home both via its structural capabilities and its warm look.

The ground level of the home is concrete, and stores the offgrid systems and yard tools, essentially a large bodega. Wide wooden stairs lead you from the ground up to the front door and the main level’s large veranda. Inside, the open concept living/dining/kitchen area opens right up to the veranda facing the sea. On this main floor, there is a bathroom with a tub, a pantry, and a large outdoor shower for rinsing all the sand off after your long beach walks.

The walls and ceilings of the home are lined with Zapan Wood which gives the interior a darker and more intimate feeling, almost like the interior of a colonial ship, and a beautiful contrast to the bright outdoors. The deep colors and glossy finishing of these natural woods stand out next to the bright kitchen tiles, and white rock mosaic bathrooms. On the top floor are two bedrooms each with their own access to the top floor seafront veranda. Views from the third floor are the highlight of the property. On the jungle side of the home, there is another bathroom, with an outdoor shower, looking into the trees, as well as covered deck space facing the backyard, a perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee with the Monkeys.
