3.2 Kilometers / 2 miles of Unspoiled Waterfront

Tranquility – Privacy – Beauty – Nature – exclusive

 No coastal flooding – No beach erosion – No storm surges – A secure environment

In these troubled times it can be easy to forget how wonderful the world really is. The planet seems flooded with conflict on social, political, and economic issues. Now we are confronting a very potent enemy, Covid-19. If some random violence doesn't strike you, the stress and anxiety will cover you like a blanket of thorns.

At Lake Bayano, it is easy to step back from the craziness and live life as it should be lived. The 350 square kilometer (135 square mile) lake is home to hundreds of birds and other animal species, some of them very rare. The silence can be profound, allowing you to hear the natural world, undistorted by the artificial sounds of traffic and the affairs of crowded urban centers.

Leave politics behind, lie back in your hammock, and enjoy true tranquility. Take your canoe or kayak and explore the many islands of the Lake. Visit the spectacular Bayano Caves.   The Lake is truly a unique and tranquil haven in a noisy world. Whether a magnificent personal estate or the center for a major residential development, this is a “one of its kind” property.

But when the time comes that you need something more, in 60 minutes or less you will find shopping malls, supermarkets, hardware stores, and the stations of the Metro Line 2 taking you into the city.  A little further and you can be at Tocumen International Airport, Costa del Este and its Jack Nicklaus golf course, Punta Pacifica with the finest shopping mall and the Johns Hopkins-managed hospital, and all the amenities of downtown Panama City in 75 to 90 minutes.

The property for sale is 972,801 square meters in size (97.28 hectares or 240 acres). It is situated on Lago Bayano (Lake Bayano) east of Panama City and includes approximately 3.2 kilometers (2 miles) of lakefront.

Aguas Mansas has been a highly-productive dairy farm for 40 years and remains fully active today.  A majority of the property has been cleared, thus greatly reducing any environmental damage from development, much of it flat and rising up gently from the Lake.  A portion furthest from the entrance remains forested and hilly, providing a beautiful natural setting, protection for the lake's wildlife, both flora and fauna, and providing additional privacy and tranquility.

NOTE: The asking prices for different "packages" from the simple purchase of the land to assistance in its development and marketing are under consideration given recent positive developments. Interested parties can contact the owners through this website's contact form for further detail. Thank you.

• Fully titled, located on the only paved road on the Lake other than the Inter-American highway. The property lies about 8 kilometers (5 miles) from the Inter-American.

• 80% of the Lake’s total waterfront and the land adjoining are part of a comarca, an area set aside for Panama’s indigenous people and can not be sold, thus significantly reducing both potential commercial competition and over-commercialization of the Lake at the same time. However, the Lake itself is open to all and its use is not restricted.

• Rural beauty with all the amenities of a first-class city within a short drive.

• The planned four-lane extension of the Inter-American highway from Pacora to Chepo will further reduce travel times. An extension to the Lake is planned for future years.

• The property is located at the end of the paved road, thus providing privacy.

• The lake is maintained in support of a hydro-electric plant that provides 12% of Panama’s electricity. The lake’s security is not in question and its level is controlled.

• Electricity, Internet, paved road, cell phone coverage are all available. Municipal water is currently available at the property, but we recommend drilling a well if any substantial development is planned.

• The current owner runs a profitable side-business providing group camping on the property and tours of the Bayano Caves. With the sale, the business will close, but the owner is open to the possibility of continuing if the new owner and he agree. For a non-resident owner, this means a responsible party is seeing to the security and care of the property. For a new owner interested in promoting a commercial project, the cave tours from the property are a spectacular introduction to potential investors and buyers.

• The property includes two fully-functional homes, an additional simple home for a ranch hand, a “rancho” for livestock, plus other small structures (bohios, boat storage, additional bathrooms at the lake for visitors, etc.)

• Islands in the Lake across from the property provide protection from the choppy water and strong winds of the main lake basin, but still provide easy access to the main lake by boat. This is the origin of the name, Aguas Mansas (Calm Waters). Perfect for boating and water-skiing for all ages, and only a short boat trip through the islands to the main lake.

• All water sports are feasible and sport fishing is available about 40 minutes away on the Rio Bayano.

• The Lake is stocked with tilapia, a delicious food fish. You will never go hungry at the Lake.

The property is located in Panama Province one and a half hours east of Panama City’s business district and one hour from Tocumen International Airport on a paved road five km south of the Inter-American Highway.

In the third decade of the 21st century…
