Private Mountain Estate, Altos del Maria, Panama
If you enter the property from the road, you actually arrive at the back of the house at the 2nd floor, the level where the main house is located. You can enter the main house either through the garage or the main entrance a few meters beside.
From there you come into the heart of it all: the professional gastronomy kitchen, or as the owner names it, the Culinary Center. As he was a former chef he placed a lot of value on high-end appliances and facilities. You'll find granite and wooden surfaces for working, a tailor made work table and an overhead utensil and pot rack. Elevated ceilings with overhead windows and strategically placed track lighting guarantee the perfect illumination for working.
An elegant window pass-through to the dining area with granite counters and guest seatings create an inviting and convenient way to serve and entertain guests.
For menu planning or daily organization there is an ample granite desk and storage alcove with internet access. An open design walk-in pantry and additional built-in cabinetry complete the exclusive design of this chef's dream kitchen.
From the kitchen you enter the dining area on the terrace. Perfectly integrated in nature yet protected from the elements it offers space for serving small and large groups. The spectacular, panoramic view to the mountain ridges and valleys and to the park below is breathtaking.
The lounge area at the end of the terrace invites you to relax and enjoy the procession of tropical birdlife without annoying insects.
The spaceous and elegant master bedroom right behind the lounge gives you silence, security and privacy, the high ceilings care for good ventilation and the cool temperatures at night guarantee a comfortable sleep. The large picture window lets you glance at tropical trees and mountains in the morning.
The large bathroom has custom double vanity sinks, his and hers walk-in closets, a whirlpool tub and oversized shower area with custom massage shower heads.
A personal library and a big walk-in closet complete the amenities of this comfortable space.
