This Charismatic home is an eye catcher! Built in the old colonial style, but with an broad and open flare, the home sits elegantly over the crystaline water of the calm Tierra Oscura Lagoon.
An undulating peninsula, skirted by an incredible Coral Reef, separates the famous Dolphin Bay from the more private Tierra Oscura Lagoon. One of three private residences at the tip of this peninsula is Villa La Perla, facing West for the Caribbean sunset.
The Tierra Oscura Lagoon is changing however- what once felt like the farthest place on earth from civilization is now road accessible! A new paved road links the mainland coastline to the Almirante Highway, something we never thought we’d see in our Tierra Oscurra days. This infrastructural improvement offers Tierra Oscura school access to health care for emergencies and eventually electricity. It also offers the water locked property owners of the area a 5 minute boat ride to port, rather than the 35 previously needed to reach docks and cars. Watch this area grow in the next few years, making the logistics of off grid Island life much easier.
THE HOME
Built in the Old-Colonial Style, iconic to the Bocas del Toro area, this 3 bedroom/ 4 bathroom home takes classic elegance to the next level. With large outdoor spaces in both the front and the back of the home, nature is to be enjoyed in comfort. 3 sets of sliding glass doors open from the living space onto the massive waterfront veranda, and a 4th set open to a back yard veranda and the pathway to the garden. This gorgeous, flowy design draws the ocean breeze through the open concept living, dining, kitchen area, and up to the second floor via vaulted ceilings supported by live edge posts.
From the indoor living room den, Channel Wood railings lead you upstairs where three large bedrooms each have ocean views and ensuite bathrooms. The Master bedroom and veranda, stretch the entire length of the home and offer even more covered out door living space.
