Live in harmony in this stunning 2,5 hectare ocean view nature retreat in Panama near Playa Venao. The 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home was built in 2015 and overlooks the Isla Canas National Wildlife Refuge, the world-famous nesting ground for Olive Ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea). Stunning views of the Pacific Ocean prevail from almost anywhere on the property, and one should expect daily visits from a variety of monkey species. The home was built with a mix of bamboo, steel, and concrete block construction with native guayacán hardwood floors and assorted hardwood accents. The walls are made of Plycem, an ecologically sustainable and energy efficient fiber cement sheet that is strong yet light and resistant to water, humidity, insects and fire. The Plycem has been clad with a durable Merlex stucco on the interior and exterior of the home. The roof is durable zinc with a gutter catchment system that channels rainwater into four large storage tanks, a huge plus in this seasonally dry region of Panama.
