33-Acre Off-Grid Island Property with Home, Solar Power & Dock | Bocas del Toro

Property Description

There are places where time seems to slow down — where sunsets burn orange over the Caribbean Sea, where the sound of howler monkeys greets you in the morning, and where the night sky glows with a billion stars. This 33-acre (12.14 ha) off-grid island property in Bocas del Toro is one of those rare places.

Set in a small bay with commanding views of Volcán Barú, the distant Costa Rican mountains, and mangrove-lined waters, this titled-in-possession (ROP) property is completely self-sustaining and ready to live in. The entire estate is fenced, bordered by untouched jungle with a perennial freshwater stream, and enriched with fruiting gardens producing bananas, pineapples, cacao, coconuts, sugarcane, plantains, and more. Wildlife — sloths, anteaters, toucans, tanagers — are regular guests.

A concrete path leads from the private dock (with covered parking for two boats and workshop) through lush hibiscus hedges to a nispero hardwood home. Set on concrete pillars, this elevated residence offers:

2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms

Large kitchen, dining, lounge & utility room

Front and rear decks to capture sea breezes and panoramic views

Furnishings and appliances included: 6-burner gas stove, dishwasher, 2 fridge freezers, washing machine, chest freezer

Construction ready for a second floor addition

Security camera system

Cement slab below for extension or workshop

Firepit, plunge pool, bodega for tools/storage

Solar power: 14 x 390W panels, 3000W hybrid inverter, 3 x 48V 100Ah lithium polymer batteries (+10 spare 210W panels)

Water: 5,200L primary storage with particle + carbon filtration, plus 1,000L backup tank (gravity-fed) and 500L at the boat house
