The Boquete area has been a popular getaway for Panamanians over the years and for many their second homes are here. Though now, the appeal of this mountain town is very widepsread with its numerous foreign retirees and vibrant tourism (trade). Nestled in a valley at the foot of Volcan Baru, the town has a variety of things to do and is considered by many to be the best place to retire in the Americas while also offering great real estate investment opportunities.
In terms of where you are exactly, to the north of Boquete you'll find the province of Bocas del Toro and its ever popular "Boca Town". To the east is the district of Gualaca, to the south are Dolega and David (Panamas 3rd largest city) plus to the west you have Bugaba. And in the immediate area you have the wonderful communities of Caldera, Palmira, Volcancito and Jaramillo. If you total it all up the district of Boquete has a population of about 15,500 people.
Its distance from Panama City is 480 kms (300 miles) but you're only a 45 minute drive from Davids airport where you have the convenience of 3 daily flights under an hour to Panama City. Furthermore, direct flights from the USA to David will be available in the very near future. And if you're going by bus we're talking 5.5 - 6.5 hours.
Getting to the project of Los Molinos now, you'll find this development to be very secluded with gorgeous single family homes, a select number of duplexes (in the near future), a few condos and the views are quite amazing. With only 173 lots averaging 1500 m2 (16,000 sq ft) your privacy is a given and the altitude (2460 feet above sea level) provides you with an ideal climate all year round.
You'll marvel at the 360 ft. deep canyon that borders the site to the west. At its base the impressive Cochea River weaves its way while delightful waterfalls can be seen here and there. You even have a hiking trail that can take you right down to the river bank. On the grounds itself you'll find a charming hotel/restaurant and clubhouse bar right along the canyon edge. Los Molinos also has an "assisted living" facility with 24 hour medical emergency service. The project also features a swimming pool with jacuzzi, tennis, childrens play area, massage parlor plus there are gorgeous gardens with strolling sidewalks and peaceful lakes.
In talking about the "Master Plan" in more detail, the developer has strategically placed these lakes throughout the project for the purpose of preserving the gardens and maintenance of the landscaping. These bodies of water also provide a friendly habitat for birds and butterflies not to mention the abundant fish. And the site has its own source of natural water from nearby mountains which ensures a consistent quality and freshness to these lakes. "Molinos" also has an underground infrastructure for electricity, ect.
