$496,000
A versatile mountain property with flexible living options within one of Panama's established gated highland communities.
Set in the gated mountain community of Altos de María, this property combines a completely flat 2,416 m² titled lot with a park-like garden, mature trees and views towards Cerro Picacho. The approximately 260 m² of construction includes a two-bedroom main house and two independent units, offering flexibility for family, guests or rental accommodation.
Large covered terraces wrap around the house, while two gazebos, stone pathways and distinctive mosaic tilework add character to the outdoor spaces. A generous open area offers room for a swimming pool, and the property borders an unbuildable green area with a small creek. The cooler mountain setting and access to community trails, rivers and waterfalls add to the appeal.
THE PROPERTY
GROUND FLOOR
The main entrance opens into a large, open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, with access to extensive covered terraces that wrap around the house. These generous outdoor spaces extend the living area into the garden, providing room to relax or dine while enjoying views across the grounds towards Cerro Picacho or into the mature surrounding forest.
The ground floor also includes a bedroom, currently used as an office, with an en-suite bathroom, as well as a laundry area. The covered garage provides parking, with additional storage space within the property.
A hallway and storage area lead to the first independent unit. The internal connection can be closed off to provide privacy between the main house and the apartment, which also has its own separate external entrance.
SECOND FLOOR
The upper floor has a large bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a private balcony overlooking the surrounding greenery, with views towards Cerro Picacho.
INDEPENDENT UNIT 1
Accessed through the ground-floor hallway or its own external entrance, this unit has a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, a kitchen, and a living and dining area. Its separate access and the option to close off the internal connection allow it to function independently from the main house.
INDEPENDENT UNIT 2
Reached by an outdoor staircase, the second unit is arranged as a studio. It has a large combined living and sleeping area, a kitchenette, a dining area and a full bathroom. A private balcony offers views towards Cerro Picacho.
The two units provide flexibility for extended family, visiting guests or separate rental accommodation, while allowing the main house to retain its own living areas.
OUTDOOR LIVING
The grounds are one of the property's defining features. Set on a completely flat lot, the garden has the feel of a private park, with a large open lawn, mature trees, established tropical planting and colourful ornamental gardens. Stone pathways wind through the greenery, creating different areas to explore and enjoy.
The flat terrain also leaves a generous open area with space for a swimming pool — a useful advantage in Altos de María's mountain setting.
Large covered terraces extend around the house, offering sheltered places to sit, dine or enjoy the views across the garden towards Cerro Picacho or into the mature forest. Two gazebos provide additional spaces for relaxing or gathering with family and friends.
The grounds have individual decorative touches, including mosaic tilework inspired by the surrounding natural environment and Art Nouveau-style metalwork. Along one boundary, the property adjoins an unbuildable green area with a small creek, adding to its natural setting.
Ample parking and a garden shed provide practical additions to the outdoor spaces.
