The key to the Canal across the Isthmus of Panama is Lake Gatun, formed by the Chagres River.   At Gatun a gigantic dam was built between two mountains, 8,400 feet long and a half mile wide at the base.   By means of this man-made mountain, the waters of the Chagres were pushed back and impounded in the valley of its 1,320-mile watershed, until they formed the largest artificial lake in existence - approximating in size, Lake Geneva in Switzerland.   With an area of 164 square miles, a shore line of 1,100 miles and a capacity of 183,000,000,000 cubic feet, Lake Gatun rests 85 feet above the Atlantic Ocean, which it easily overlooks from a distance of about six miles.   Its long been a popular spot with boaters, water-skiers, fisher folk, and even scuba divers.  

This 12 acre lakefront property has one livable house and a unfinished house on top of a hill, with a great view and cool breeze!   Original house by the lake front was originally a duplex.   It can easily be converted back into a duplex and used as a rental.   This property would be excellent for a fishing camp or resort or just a beautiful place to have your home.   The land around the central hill is flat and perfect for keeping horses or starting a tropical fruit orchard.   Property has electricity, city water and a water well.   High speed wireless broadband Internet signal available in the area.

I have fished Lake Gatun at La Arenosa many times and always caught around 100 Peacock Bass a day.   I consider Peacock Bass the best eating fish in Panama.

Sale price is $364,500.   We can provide copy of an independent property appraisal report.
