Playa Baru, S.A. consists of two hectares (approximately 5 acres) of beautiful tropical jungle with 100 meters (320') of frontage on a soft sandy beach with sparkling clear water. It has a 100' x 6' wide dock, with a small cottage house built over the water. The house has one room, 10' x 30', with a kitchen and sleeping area. There is a 20' x 30' covered deck planked in tropical hardwoods, with a storage locker at one end. The house is equipped with solar panels, a battery bank, charging system, 2500w. generator, inverter (12v to 110v), and 12v LED lighting and ceiling fan.
There is a 800 gallon rainwater collection tank that supplies water to the sink and shower via a 12v pump. The bathroom includes a SunMar Excel composting toilet.

In addition to the dock house, there is a small shed for the generator and supplies, a shed for landscaping and maintenance tools, and a 10' x 30' pavilion with a native straw roof. The property has been planted with bananas, coconuts, pineapples, avocados, almonds, and Noni trees, and has a small flower and spice garden at the foot of the dock. The front half of the property has been cleared of all brush and planted with a soft native grass. There is a small fresh water stream at the boundary of the property, and it would also be possible to supply water from a well.


The property is a Rights of Possession (ROP) property. The property is fully documented with recent independent surveys, with a certificate issued by the Agrarian Reform Office (CATASTRO), and has been recently surveyed and registered by ProNat. The property has been constantly maintained by a caretaker for the past six years.


Cayo de Agua is the most remote of the Bocas del Toro islands from the town of Bocas del Toro, about 1 hour by boat. The property faces south, and overlook Laguna de Chiriqui, with the town of Chiriqui Grande and the majestic mountains of central Panama on the horizon, including Volcan Baru (11,600') above sea level, and 25 miles from the coast). Sunrises and sunsets are always spectacular, and the beach is protected from the pounding surf of the Caribbean. There are live coral reefs offshore for snorkeling and scuba diving, and the fishing is excellent with dorado, red snapper, mackerel, and grouper being the larger fish. There is also an abundance of conch, crab and lobster, and the native fishermen will usually bring a catch to your door every evening, if you're interested.

This property is ideally suited for someone looking for a remote tropical get-away, but the savvy investor will also spot signs of development on the horizon. Construction of an international airport has been approved for Chiriqui Grande, about 45 minutes by boat directly across the bay of Laguna de Chiriqui. Chiriqui Grande is also a deep water port, and there are plans being developed for hotels and a cruise ship pier. There are also several "Bali-style" resorts being developed nearby on Cayo de Agua.
