Fabulous mansion on a 2000m2 land in Altos del Golf, Panama City

This glorious mansion is located in Altos Del Golf community in the San Francisco area of Panama City. The neighborhood is considered the finest and most prestigious area of the city. Many embassies have offices and residences here. Past presidents of Panama also live in Altos Del Golf. San Francisco is the heart of the city. It is where the banking, hotel, and financial districts are located. Altos Del Golf is a quiet oasis in the city, but convenient to everything without the traffic hassles of a commute from an outlying area. Taxi and bus service is convenient to the neighborhood, as are hospitals, restaurants, malls, and grocery stores.

About 9 years ago this property was purchased. The new owner began converting a classic Spanish villa into a contemporary style home. Subsequently, the bank that provided the mortgage foreclosed on the property in 2013-2014. The property and residence were in need of a complete restoration at the time of the foreclosure. Restoration has taken over 4 years. The value of the restoration is over 2 million dollars US. 

Today every aspect of this home and property are new, built to North American standards. 

The home has the potential for being an embassy residence, corporate headquarters, or a luxury private residence. The home and grounds could easily accommodate 2-3 hundred guests.
