Just 90 minutes from Panama City, Altos del María offers a distinctive mountain setting for those who value a close connection with nature while staying within reach of urban conveniences. This 4,060.99 m² plot, located in the Granada subdivision, sits on a private, dead-end street and features a mostly flat terrain covered with mature trees, offering both privacy and tranquility.
The land’s regular shape and generous size make it ideal for building a residence, establishing gardens, or creating walking paths. Its location on a quiet internal road ensures a peaceful environment, whether for family living or a secluded vacation retreat. The level topography allows for efficient use of space, and the dense tree cover provides natural shade and enhances the overall landscape.
Altos del María is located 94 kilometers west of Panama City, accessed by 75 kilometers of the Pan-American Highway followed by an 18-kilometer paved ascent through the Central Mountain Range. A direct mountain road also connects the community to El Valle de Antón, placing the popular highland town just 20 minutes away.
Set at elevations between 900 and 1,100 meters above sea level, the area enjoys cool temperatures year-round—averaging 21°C—and sweeping views of valleys and mountains. Native forests, scenic overlooks, and ecological trails make the surroundings ideal for hiking and discovering local flora and fauna.
The community is gated and features controlled access, with essential utilities including electricity, water, and internet. Future amenities are planned for the community center, including a supermarket and gas station.
Altos del María is surrounded by notable attractions such as Butterfly Haven in El Valle de Antón, 4x4 mountain tours exploring waterfalls and remote trails, the Sleeping Indian Girl rock formation with panoramic views, the serene Laguna de San Carlos for boating and bird-watching, and nearby protected areas offering guided eco-tours and environmental education.
