Caribbean Waterfront Villa with Private Dock

A substantial waterfront villa on Sunset Point, Isla Colón, Bocas del Toro, occupying one of the areas best positions for views and privacy. The home sits on a level 1,898 m² lot on a sheltered canal within Admirals Bay, with calm, protected water and no direct ocean swell or surge. The private dock provides year-round boat access to the town and surrounding waters

Designed in a Florida-style waterfront concept, with homes positioned along canals and individual boat slips, access is by both road and water, offering privacy, a true Caribbean setting and the convenience of both vehicle and boat access.
Road access is 1.7 km along an unpaved road from the main road, approximately 15 minutes from Bocas Town and the airport. By water, it is only five minutes by boat to town. The private dock is partially covered and includes a sheltered boat slip.

The house itself is substantial, with very high ceilings, beautiful Zapatero hardwood finishes, ceramic floors and generous open living spaces. The design makes excellent use of the tropical setting, with natural ventilation and breezes moving through the house.
The main floor consists of a large open-plan living, dining and kitchen area with granite countertops and wood cabinetry, opening onto a large covered terrace overlooking the garden, pool and the Caribbean. The southwest-facing position provides beautiful afternoon light and sunsets, with views across the bay and towards the Talamanca Cordillera. On clear days, Volcán Barú can be seen in the distance.
The master bedroom has direct terrace access, two large walk-in closets and a spacious bathroom with existing plumbing and space for a jacuzzi or bathtub. A second bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, while the third bedroom has access to a full bathroom that also serves as a guest bathroom.
A Zapatero wood staircase leads to an upper gallery and balcony overlooking the grounds, providing another comfortable space to sit and enjoy the views.

The ground floor provides considerable additional space and functionality, including a two-car garage, laundry room, maid's quarters with a large bedroom and full bathroom, and a large separate room currently used for storage. This room has its own entrance and could readily be adapted into an additional suite, office or independent apartment.

The property is fully off-grid, with solar power and battery storage, rainwater collection, large water storage tanks, pumps and filtration, together with a freshwater well for additional water supply when required.
Air-conditioning infrastructure is already partially installed, with wiring and pipework in place. Currently, the master bedroom and second bedroom have air-conditioning. The solar system would need to be upgraded to operate air-conditioning throughout the house continuously.
Outside, the 1,898 m² grounds are landscaped with mature palms, ornamental planting and lawn, leading down to the pool, palapa and waterfront.

There is a wonderful sense of privacy here, surrounded by tropical greenery and calm water, yet with the convenience of both road and boat access. With its generous grounds, substantial living space, private dock and beautiful natural setting, the property offers a rare combination of space, waterfront living and the opportunity to put your own finishing touches on an already impressive home.

The property is fully furnished and has been operated as a short-term rental, offering potential for continued rental income.
