6 Hectareas with 150 Metersof Beautiful Beachfront

Cocle del Norte, Colon Panama

This exceptional property offers a rare chance to own a Caribbean eco-resort, a permaculture farm, and a comfortable off-grid homestead on Panama's stunning northern coast. It's a truly turnkey lifestyle opportunity for those seeking a sustainable and income producing venture in paradise.

Discover Your Caribbean Paradise: An Off-Grid Homestead, Permaculture Farm, and Eco-Resort

Imagine owning a slice of paradise on the pristine Caribbean coast of Panama – a rare opportunity combining an established eco-resort with organic marketing, a productive permaculture farm, and a thoughtfully equipped, comfortable homestead. All this is set on a prime property with 150 meters of beachfront on the central Caribbean coast of Panama, just 90 kilometers northwest of Panama City as the crow flies.

Prime Location & Idyllic Landscape

This property boasts a prime parcel of land situated in the heart of a protected sandy beach cove, perfect for swimming. It's located in an authorized development zone adjoining the protected Mesopotamian diversity corridor, approximately 3 kilometers east of Coclé del Norte, an established fishing village with 200 families, a primary school, several small stores, and a cantina.​

Accessibility: The property is reachable via private transportation in under four hours from Panama City.

Drive one hour north from Panama City via the Corredor del Norte tollway, cross the northern end of the Panama Canal on the new Atlantic Bridge, then two hours west on a freshly paved roadway along the Caribbean coastline.

Public transport options require good Spanish, patience, and take a full day.

The final 30 kilometers must be transited via boat along the coastline (not into open water). The owner has well-established relationships with several local boat captains, and the trip takes 45 to 75 minutes depending on ocean conditions.

Alternative Connectivity: The Coclé del Norte River connects to Coclesito, just north of Penonomé, via a two-hour journey by motorized kayak. There are both private and public transport options from Coclesito to reach Panama City within half a day.

Stunning Beachfront: The beachfront area features a wide expanse of soft tan sand sloping up from the water line, with mature coconut and hardwood trees for shade in an area that gently slopes 50 meters from the high water line to where the resort's buildings are nestled.

Elevated Views & Protection: Behind the main resort structures, the land rises more steeply to a plateau, positioning most of the property approximately 30 meters above sea level, offering both breathtaking views and protection from the elements for the main home and farm area.

Ideal Climate: This part of Panama is outside the hurricane corridor and has never experienced damaging storms or floods. Air temperatures hover in the low to mid-80s Fahrenheit all year, with a consistent breeze. The Caribbean water is a constant 85°F.

Property Dimensions: This imperfectly rectangular property features 150 meters of pristine beachfront and 150 meters bordering a planned road, extending 400 meters deep.

It offers a perfect blend of gently sloping beachfront and open sandy areas with incredible views of the entire cove, alongside higher ground ideal for permanent structures.

The first half of the planned road has been cut through the rainforest west from Miguel de la Borda, the last village along the paved road, up until Cocle del Norte (about 30km), passing just behind this property. A driveway has been cut from that initial road cut up to the ocean, providing access to the farm, home and resort facilities. No bridges have been built, however, so the dirt road is convenient for foot and horse traffic, but is not passable even using 4x4 vehicles.

The government announced an approved budget in January 2025 to complete the entire 70 km of road and bridges from MdB to Belen, but no construction has started.

Fertile Land: The land is remarkably fertile and lush, with about half of the 58,000 square meters (approximately 14.3 acres) remaining as untouched rainforest, and the other half meticulously maintained to preserve the natural canopy while allowing light and airflow for buildings and food producing crops.

Security & Organization: The area is very safe due to its remote location. The entire property is fully fenced, with two interior segments creating designated areas for a horse pasture, the permaculture farm, and the homestead.

Productive Permaculture Farm

About 150 meters back from the ocean lies a sustainable permaculture farm, carefully cultivated with hundreds of food plants, including:
Plantains, yucca, daisen, otoe, bananas, papaya, pineapple, coconut, mango, jackfruit, limes, sugar cane, and various other tropical fruits, root vegetables, and edible plants.
The environment is perfectly suited for hydroponics farming, though that has not yet been set up.
A flock of dozen+ free range chickens keeps the property mostly free of insects and other small critters, as well as provides a stable supply of delicious eggs and meat. Fish are readily caught by line off the volcanic rock outcropping at the end of the beach cove.
