PROPERTY DETAILS
DESCRIPTION
TRADITIONAL SPANISH HACIENDA
A rare road accessible opportunity on a quiet island in the Gulf of Chiriquí -Boca Brava Island, Chiriquí, Panama
Known for its protected waters, world-class sport fishing, whale watching, and untouched beauty, Boca Brava, just minutes from the Boca Chica Port offers unrivaled privacy yet simple accessibility via vehicle barge from the mainland. This exclusive island community attracts investors and luxury home buyers seeking oceanfront real estate, private estates, and high-end vacation properties in a secure and naturally stunning setting. The Hacienda Boca Chica is by far the most charming estate on the island.
THE LAND
The estate sits on an extraordinary 5-hectare private peninsula on the south side of Boca Brava Island, a premium landholding rarely available on the market. This unique peninsula location delivers both sunrise and sunset views from the home, which was designed to admire the 300 degree view. The property includes direct beach access, lush tropical landscape, and a private infinity pool overlooking the bay — creating a resort-style environment perfect for personal enjoyment or boutique vacation rental potential. The expansive land offers room for additional guest casitas, gardens, or future development, and concrete remains of horse stables remain, ready to be revived and reinhabited.
THE HACIENDA
At the heart of this exceptional property stands a spacious and luxurious hacienda-style residence featuring 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, and separate maid’s quarters, designed for comfort, entertaining, and extended stays. The home is designed with traditional architecture and natural materials, offering a comfort not found in many new builds. The 470 square meters of covered outdoor living space would be ideal for yoga retreats, but currently offers the ideal location for ocean-view dining, sunset gatherings, and relaxed island living year-round, boasting a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The large terrace and shaded lounge areas maximize the coastal breezes and panoramic surroundings.
Follow a gravel driveway aligned by massive foxtail palms to reach the cobblestone courtyard of the hacienda, where you will be met with the grand entrance and 5 doors to choose from. The entrance towers above with natural light pouring in, where large glass doors welcome in the view of the archipelago through the covered terrace. Left of the main entrance is the Eastern wing of the home which has the master-bedroom and bathroom, as well as guest suite and office with its own bathroom, the office could easily be reverted to a bedroom as well. The right of the main entrance has the kitchen with stainless steel drawers and cabinets and a large pantry, the kitchen opens up via 2 sliding doors to the seafront veranda where stairs lead to the pool deck. Further West along this veranda leads to a second guest suite as well as the maids room and bathroom. The Western wing of the home has an outdoor kitchen with a stunning view for the gardener and the maid, as well as a third private guest suite with a jacuzzi, facing west.

Estimates only — not financial advice. Prefilled with typical panama financing profile figures — adjust to your own scenario. Rent estimated from area market rates (Panama (country average — no local data for Boca Chica)), adjusted for a property priced 358% above the area average and location/building factors (No transport nearby −3%, No shops nearby −2%, Quiet area +2%, Outside town −5%, Renovated +3%). Note: the asking price is 358% above the area average but location and building data only support a ~-5% rent premium; the estimate follows the fundamentals, so the yield reflects the price being asked.
