Altos del Maria heralds itself as “the perfect place to live surrounded by nature”. It is hidden in an unspoiled mountain setting, along a 14km paved road off the Pan American highway. Set in the Chame district, this mountain community is within easy driving distance of the Pacific coast beaches and amenities, and just 65 miles from Panama City. This is ideal for those seeking a home in the mountains, a holiday retreat or a permanent retirement home whilst staying within reach of city life.
Prices in real estate across Panama are steadily rising, particularly in well-known beauty spots such as Boquete, but Altos del Maria is still surprisingly affordable. The Sales Center, with its English and Spanish speaking staff, is very helpful for those interested in building their own home. There are still lots available in many beautiful locations around the development. If however, you wish to dispense with the waiting and hassle of self-build, there are also some resale properties available.
There are prices to suit all pockets, from a fully furnished home with 2 bedrooms, on a gently sloping lot, for just $140,000. At the other end of the scale is a newly completed luxury 3-bedroom home with studio for $500,000.
Most unusually, there is a 4000 sq ft. American-style home offering 3 bedrooms plus a bonus room for just $295,000 with some of the best views anywhere. The catch? This home is still only a shell, and estimated costs to complete would be a further $65,000. For the property developer, or those wanting their own choice of finish, this offers a great opportunity to build a dream home at a very affordable price.
