Wake Up to Championship Golf and Mountain Views: Luxury Living in Chiriquí's Premier Golf Community

Boquete sits at 4,000 feet elevation in Panama's Chiriquí Province, creating a climate that feels like eternal spring. Unlike the hot, humid lowlands of Panama City, this mountain town averages temperatures between 60-75 degrees Fahrenheit year-round, making it perfect if you want tropical living without the sweat. What makes Boquete truly special is its international community. About one in five residents are expats who've already made the leap, which means you'll have instant social connections and a well-established infrastructure of English-speaking services, restaurants, and activities. The town hosts vibrant community events throughout the year, including the famous Boquete Flower and Coffee Festival, and offers everything from hiking and horseback riding to rock climbing and zipline adventures. For retirees and families, there are both English and Spanish-speaking schools, making education accessible for children of all ages.

This three-bedroom home is built to the highest standards, spanning just over 10,000 square feet of construction on more than 20,000 square feet of land. The open floor plan maximizes the breathtaking views while the sophisticated design ensures comfort and elegance. Two of the three bedrooms are full luxury suites, offering the privacy and space you deserve. The home features a state-of-the-art kitchen with premium appliances, a dedicated maid's quarters for household staff, a spacious pantry and laundry room, and a large game room or gym space depending on your lifestyle needs. Practical amenities include a three-car garage plus golf cart parking, a backup power generator system for reliability, a sophisticated water system, and a beautiful circular brick driveway that sets the tone as you arrive home. The monthly HOA fee of just $264 includes water, trash, security, and general property maintenance, keeping your ongoing costs predictable and reasonable.

This gated country club community is built for active retirees and serious golf enthusiasts. The centerpiece is an 18-hole championship golf course designed to international standards. Beyond golf, the community offers three clay tennis courts maintained to professional specifications, a full-service restaurant with consistent dining options, a swimming pool for relaxation, and manicured grounds throughout. The private country club atmosphere creates a resort-like lifestyle without the hassle of resort living. Members enjoy a strong social community with organized outings, golf leagues, tennis tournaments, and social events throughout the year. For those who don't golf, the tennis courts and pool provide excellent recreational options, and the restaurant serves as a natural gathering place for community connection.

Boquete has become legendary among Panama expats for good reason. The town sits in a microclimate where you can see both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea from the highest points - one of only a handful of places in the world where this is possible. The area is famous for producing some of the world's highest-graded coffee, with the rich volcanic soil creating ideal growing conditions. Natural attractions include stunning waterfalls, pristine rivers, lush rainforests, and countless hiking trails. The town's cultural scene is surprisingly vibrant with over 100 restaurants ranging from casual local fare to fine dining establishments. Blue Fin offers exceptional sushi and ambiance, while Sugar and Spice serves beloved breakfast and lunch with baked goods and fresh bread that locals rave about. The Tuesday market brings together local vendors selling fresh produce, artisan goods, and traditional products. Beyond dining and markets, residents enjoy bridge groups, walking clubs, hiking groups, and a steady calendar of festivals and parades that celebrate the area's coffee, flowers, and cultural heritage.

Panama offers several attractive residency options for retirees and investors. The Pensioner Visa requires a monthly guaranteed income (currently around $1,000 USD), making it one of the most affordable residency programs globally. Property investments in Panama can also qualify you for residency through various investment programs. Panama's location provides significant advantages: it uses the US Dollar as official currency, eliminating exchange rate concerns. The Panamanian government has made healthcare investment a priority, with modern facilities in Panama City and good regional hospitals. For those relocating from the United States, Panama's Foreign Earned Income Exclusion and other tax treaties can offer meaningful tax advantages. Healthcare costs are substantially lower than North America and Europe while quality has improved dramatically over the past decade. Many expats maintain residency in Panama while enjoying easy travel throughout Central and South America, with direct flights to major international hubs.

This three-bedroom luxury home is offered at $1.2 million USD, positioning it as a premium property in one of Panama's most desirable mountain communities. Boquete properties have shown steady appreciation over the past decade as more expats discover the area and infrastructure improves. The golf course community adds tangible value through maintained grounds, security, and amenities that appeal to the international buyer market. Unlike many real estate markets, Panama's property market benefits from strong foreign investor interest, particularly from North Americans seeking retirement locations. The combination of modern infrastructure, established expat community, natural beauty, and reasonable cost of living creates sustained demand. Properties in established gated communities like this one tend to hold value better than isolated properties, as they offer the security, community, and lifestyle amenities that appeal to serious buyers.
