$699,000
A substantial waterfront villa occupying one of the best positions in Sunset Point
Set on a level 1,898 m² titled lot beside a sheltered canal within Admirals Bay, the property has calm, protected water, a private dock and both road and boat access.
The house offers 497 m² of construction, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, generous open living spaces and extensive Zapatero hardwood finishes. The southwest-facing position provides afternoon light and sunsets, with views across the lagoon towards the Caribbean and Talamanca mountains.
The property is fully off-grid, with solar power and battery storage, rainwater collection, water storage and filtration, pumps and a freshwater well. It is currently rented long-term at US$2,500 per month and was previously operated as a short-term rental.
Sunset Point was originally conceived as a Florida-style waterfront project with canals and private boat slips. Today, the properties are individually owned and the area is no longer a developer-operated gated community
