THE BUILDINGS

Proudly overlooking the Baru, offering breathtaking views of the plains stretching to the Pacific, this residence showcases bold yet environmentally integrated architecture. It tells the story of a long adventure, an important chapter in Boquete's history, a carefully preserved treasure.

From the base of the property follow the brick pathway up through terraced garden beds exploding with nutritious vegetables and medicinal herbs. The sides of the garden are aligned with flowering plants pollinating the surrounding fruit trees and 180 macadamia nut trees.

On the garden’s top plateau sit the main home and the communal kitchen and living room. Both insulated with green roofs, seen from above, they blend seamlessly into nature. The main residence and the bones of the communal space were built by a French architect and builder who graduated from the “Les Compagnons Du Devoir” . The Compagnons of the Tour de France are exceptional artisans who uphold an ancestral know-how in France. Their history dates back to the Middle Ages, when young craftsmen traveled across the country to perfect their trades. This journey, known as the "Tour de France," allowed them to learn from master artisans and discover various techniques of production and creation. Companions are often seen as guardians of unique know-how, capable of producing works of exceptional quality. Each piece created by a companion is the result of a craft passed down from generation to generation, and every creation reflects a passion for the trade and an unmatched attention to detail.

The main residence has a private kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor, with a loft style bedroom and office on the second floor. The remarkable joinery is exposed and the hues of the rich wood warm the open concept. Surrounded by a large sun deck there is plenty of outdoor living space to enjoy the fresh mountain air. The communal building has a cozy living room with a live edge dining table, a woodburning fireplace, a bathroom and a professional grade kitchen to prepare guests meals and produce baskets for retail.

Follow the brick trail up and beyond these buildings to further plateaus where the three cabins are located. The cabins are also accessible by vehicle, via a gravel road through the center of the property. The views from the cabins are exquisite and uninterrupted by the buildings below , in thanks to the green roofs and natural topography of the farm. The layouts are modern and clean-lined, they are exceptionally cozy with ornate imported finishes, and cast iron fireplaces.

Other buildings on the farm include gardener’s quarters with storage, solar panels and utility room, outbuildings to house propane tanks and hot water heaters, as well as the barn with hay storage, chicken coops and shelter for the sheep. Beside the sheep shelter is a thoughtful fertilizer fabrication and distribution system, and all the garden beds are irrigated.
