Oceanfront Sanctuary $450K - San Marino Portobelo with Pool & Beach
Where Caribbean Dreams Meet Reality
Few properties offer such intimate communion with the sea - this oceanfront sanctuary places you steps from pristine Caribbean waters within Portobelo's exclusive San Marino enclave. Here, the rhythm of waves replaces the chaos of city life, while lush jungle whispers create your daily soundtrack.
About This Property
Nestled within Portobelo's prestigious gated community, this three-bedroom, four-bathroom home offers something increasingly rare: true intimacy with the sea. Step from your living room directly onto pristine sand, where your private beach access ensures morning swims remain deliciously uninterrupted. The expansive pool provides another aquatic option, perfect for sunset cocktails while sea breezes carry the day's warmth into evening.
The home's thoughtful design captures both ocean vistas and jungle mystique. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame ever-changing seascapes, while the surrounding 1,408 square meters of grounds provide space for tropical gardens, al fresco dining, or simply contemplating the extraordinary fortune of calling this paradise home. Four well-appointed bathrooms ensure comfort for family and guests, while three bedrooms offer flexibility as master suites, offices, or creative studios.
Portobelo itself reads like a living history book, where Spanish colonial ruins meet UNESCO World Heritage designation and some of Panama's most pristine reefs. The town's proximity to both jungle adventures and cultural treasures means your days can shift seamlessly from snorkeling ancient coral formations to exploring rainforest trails that have captivated explorers for centuries.
At $450,000, this represents more than real estate acquisition - it's your entry into an exclusive brotherhood of those who chose paradise over convention. In a world where true oceanfront opportunities grow scarce, San Marino offers both the security of gated community living and the authentic Caribbean experience that draws discerning buyers from around the globe.
