This more compact 3144 m² private island option comes with everything any island enthusiast could ever want to go off-grid.
The island is also surrounded by crystal clear water, coral reef, and finds itself within a region of bio-luminescent underwater activity. An incredible visual display which will never get old whether you will call the island home, or guests will have the pleasure of this enjoyment.
The current dwellings are primarily comprised of wood or other natural materials, including several structures which have thatched roofs. The current Owners have looked to build in an ecologically conscious manner. A new Owner however, could take the time to redesign or add their personal touch to the property and the island.
This island property is the definition of the Bocas del Toro dream that so many are looking for.

The Río Sixaola forms part of the border with Costa Rica. A newly constructed bridge spans the river between Guabito and Sixaola, Costa Rica. The bridge is a border crossing used by tourists going between destinations in Bocas del Toro and Costa Rica. Walk across the bridge via the pedestrian causeway or register your vehicle in advance to cross between 8am and 6pm (Panamá time, Costa Rica is an hour earlier).
The province contains two national parks, Island Bastimentos National Marine Park and La Amistad International Park . The Smithsonian tropical Research Institute operates a research station on Colón Island just northwest of Bocas Town. There are many banana plantations in Bocas del Toro, often called the oro verde, or green gold of Central America.
