Cambutal, Azuero Peninsula, Los Santos

Now available for sale is this oceanfront clifftop property located just two minutes from the renowned Corto Circuito surf break in Cambutal. Positioned on a prominent rock formation along the coastal road that leads to Pedregal, Playa Blanca, and other Azuero Peninsula beach towns, this titled lot offers some of the most commanding ocean views in the area.

From this elevated vantage point, the property looks out over two surf spots—one directly in front that, during large swells, produces powerful waves reminiscent of Hawaii’s barreling breaks. On calmer days and at low tide, the same beach becomes a safe and swimmable zone, even for children. A large natural reef just offshore helps break incoming waves and makes the area ideal for fishing and swimming. The surrounding coastline and hills also offer several hiking opportunities for those who enjoy being close to nature.

The lot itself is mostly flat with a gentle slope toward the cliff edge, making it highly buildable. The ground is firm, as it sits atop solid rock, and several existing trees—especially native madroño trees—offer shade and character to the land.

This is an off-grid property. Electricity would need to be supplied through a combination of solar, wind, or generator power. However, water access is available from a communal well located just below the property and shared among nearby lots.

The access road is a dirt path that is typically in good condition but can become more challenging to navigate during the wettest part of the rainy season. A river crossing—Horcones River—is required to reach the property, and during periods of heavy rain, you may need to wait several hours before crossing. A reliable 4x4 vehicle is recommended but not 100% necessary.

The property is currently zoned for residential use, though it may be possible to apply for commercial or tourism-related development, depending on the project and local permissions. Whether for a private residence, a vacation retreat, or a nature-immersed hideaway, this lot offers a striking blend of seclusion and scenery.
