Over-the-Water Home for Sale — Isla Bastimentos, Bocas del Toro

Built out over the water at Punta Brown — known locally as Punta Rica — this is the kind of home people picture when they imagine Isla Bastimentos. The Caribbean sits directly beneath you, thick vegetation wraps the property for privacy, and there is very little to interrupt the quiet.

It looks straight across the bay to Old Bank, the Afro-Antillean town whose restaurants and bars give Bastimentos so much of its character, with the Eclypse de Mar resort sitting between the two. Getting around is easy in a way that suits island life: reach it by boat in about a minute, or walk in along the land path. Most homes along this stretch keep their own boat at a dock below the house — the standard way to live here, and part of the appeal. When you need town, a water taxi reaches Bocas Town and the airport in around eight minutes.

The house itself is a comfortable one-bedroom, one-bathroom over-the-water home on a substantial titled 10,225 m² property — an unusually large holding for this price, with genuine room to expand or simply keep the jungle around you as it is.

Titled, private, over the water, and priced well below what waterfront usually costs in Bocas. Browse more homes across the islands, or contact us to arrange a boat visit.
