Main Floor (Second Level)

The second level of the home is the heart of the property, designed for both comfort and style. It features a spacious open-concept living and dining area with soaring vaulted ceilings—perfect for hosting gatherings or enjoying everyday family life. The beautifully appointed kitchen is equipped with solid wood cabinetry, granite countertops, providing both elegance and functionality, along with breathtaking views of Volcán Barú.

This floor includes three generously sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Each bedroom opens onto a balcony, creating private outdoor retreats with mountain breezes and natural light. The two guest bedrooms are bright and airy, with plenty of space for comfort.

The primary suite is thoughtfully positioned on the opposite side of the guest bedrooms to ensure privacy. It includes a large closet, en-suite bathroom, and direct access to three outdoor areas—including the home’s main, expansive open deck —through an elegant glass door, the main terrace, and a private balcony.

The open-air deck on this level is a standout feature—ideal for relaxing or entertaining while enjoying panoramic views of the Chiriquí highlands and the twinkling lights of David at night. A cozy office nook near the staircase provides a quiet corner for remote work or study. A dedicated laundry room with custom cabinetry adds functionality to the layout.

Throughout the main floor, you’ll find handcrafted woodwork—including floors, ceilings, and cabinetry—all custom-designed and built by the seller, adding a unique artisanal character to the home. For comfort, the entire main level is equipped with ceiling fans and split-unit air conditioning, ensuring a pleasant climate year-round.

The total space on this floor is 278.62 square meters (3,000+ square feet).

First Floor

The first floor of the home offers practical and versatile living space. A welcoming front porch serves as the main entrance, while a spacious two-car garage provides secure parking. This level also includes a half bathroom for added convenience, along with internal access to the upper floor via a central staircase.

One of the standout features on this level is the professional-grade woodshop—ideal for anyone with creative or hands-on pursuits. The workshop features a dedicated workspace, a separate finishing room for detailed woodwork, and a convenient loading area at floor level, making it easy to move furniture and cabinetry crafted on-site. A custom dust collection system is already in place, with ducts that channel sawdust directly into collection bags located in the basement—highlighting the workshop's thoughtful design and professional setup.

While currently operating as a high-quality woodworking studio, this expansive enclosed space—measuring approximately 260.13 square meters (over 2,800 square feet)—offers exciting potential. It could easily be converted into one or two rental apartments, an art studio, or even a commercial space for a personal business venture. The garage adds an additional 44.60 square meters (over 480 square feet), further enhancing the floor’s flexibility and value.

The total space, including the front porch, is 332.62 square meters (3,578 square feet).

Please note: The woodworking equipment is not included in the sale price, but the sellers are open to negotiating them.

Ground Floor

The ground floor or basement (though not underground) offers flexible and functional living space, currently featuring a self-contained studio apartment. Complete with a kitchenette, full bathroom, and built-in closets, this space is perfect for guests, extended family, or potential rental income. It covers 75.79 square meters.

In addition to the studio, this level includes a dedicated laundry area and a custom-built dog washing station, designed by the owners for their furry friends. A garage on this level provides additional storage and practical utility.

Currently, the ground floor serves as a storage area for dried wood used in the woodworking shop, but its layout offers many possibilities. It can easily be transformed into a home office, creative studio, workshop, entertainment space, or simply additional storage—because you can never have enough storage space. The ground floor also features its own private entrance, providing easy access and complete independence from the upper levels. The total space on this floor is 307.50 square meters.

Construction and Finishes

This home features high-quality materials for both durability and style. Inside, you'll find rich hardwood floors, while the exterior is finished with durable cinder block and plaster. Porcelain tiles cover the exterior floors, and the windows feature aluminum frames with glass, providing optimal natural light with excellent cross ventilation when windows and doors are open.

The home’s structure includes concrete columns and beams reinforced with steel, offering strength and stability. The front of the property is secured with an automatic sliding gate, and the entire property is fenced, offering plenty of parking space for visitors.

Built approximately 16 years ago (2009), this home has been crafted with attention to detail and lasting quality.

What Makes This Property Stand Out

This home offers expansive spaces and endless possibilities, including a professional-grade woodshop and versatile areas that can be customized to your needs. With breathtaking views and a prime location near David, it combines tranquility with convenience. The high-quality finishes and well-crafted structure make it truly unique.
