This home with a pool for sale in Costa Esmeralda, San Carlos sits on an approximately 803.40 m² (8,648 sq. ft.) lot with 135 m² (approximately 1,453 sq. ft.) of construction.

There is a lot of usable outdoor space here. The two-story home occupies only part of the property, leaving room for a swimming pool, landscaped gardens, broad covered terraces, lawn areas, and additional covered space toward the back of the lot.

The property also comes with several useful features already in place, including an irrigation system, reserve water tank, and backup generator.

About the Home

The house has a simple, comfortable layout spread across two levels.

On the main floor, the living and dining areas flow together in an open central space. The kitchen sits alongside them and remains connected to the dining area through a wide opening and counter, making the three spaces feel like part of the same living area.

The kitchen has plenty of counter space, lower cabinetry, a double sink below the window, and room for the appliances needed for everyday use. Windows throughout this part of the house bring in good natural light, while tiled floors continue through the main living areas.

Ceiling fans and air-conditioning units provide additional options for keeping the interiors comfortable in San Carlos' warm climate.

Upstairs, the home opens onto a covered balcony overlooking the front garden. It is a nice addition to the second floor and provides another place to enjoy the outdoor setting without leaving the house.

A Large Covered Terrace Facing the Garden

The covered terrace is one of the parts of this property we especially like.

It extends along a generous portion of the house and has enough space for several outdoor uses at once. There is currently a sitting area, an outdoor dining table, and hammocks, yet the terrace still feels open.

More importantly, it faces directly toward the garden and pool.

From here, you can step out onto the lawn and follow the pathways through the backyard. The covered roof also makes the terrace much more usable during both sunny and rainy weather, an important consideration for outdoor living in Panama.

There is another covered area near the back of the property, currently used as a barbecue space. This gives the home a second outdoor area away from the main terrace.

Swimming Pool, Garden, and Outdoor Space

The private swimming pool sits toward the back of the property, surrounded by lawn and established landscaping.

One thing that works particularly well is that the pool does not consume the entire backyard. There is still plenty of green space around it, along with palms, flowering plants, shrubs, and walking paths connecting the different parts of the property.

The approximately 803.40 m² lot gives the home enough room to have both a pool and a garden without either feeling squeezed into the available space.

An irrigation system is already installed to help maintain the landscaped areas.

The property is also enclosed, with a gated entrance at the front and walls and fencing around the perimeter.

Water Reserve and Backup Power

There are a few additional features here that are especially useful for a home with a garden and swimming pool.

The property has a reserve water tank, providing additional water storage for the residence. It also has a generator/electrical backup plant for an alternative source of electricity when needed.

The pool has its own equipment area, keeping its operating components separate from the principal living spaces.

These are easy features to overlook when first viewing a property, but they are worthwhile additions to have already installed.

Additional Property Details

The property also includes several features that support day-to-day ownership, including an irrigation system, reserve water tank, and backup generator. In addition, the current HOA fee is $55 as of September 2026, an important consideration for buyers evaluating ongoing ownership costs in Costa Esmeralda.
