View all 30 photosA Hundred Years of Panama History, Wrapped in Mango Trees and Morning LightSome homes shelter you; this one tells you where you are. Built roughly a century ago in the old Panama Canal Zone and meticulously restored from roof to floorboards, this Ancón Hill residence pairs the wide verandas and generous proportions of another era with a jacuzzi, sauna, bar and terrace built for this one. Sitting on more than 1,000 m² of mature tropical gardens, it delivers absolute privacy just minutes from Casco Viejo, the Canal locks and the towers of Panama City's financial district.

Below it spread Casco Viejo's colonial rooftops, the Pacific entrance to the Canal, and the skyline of a capital in perpetual motion. Living here means jungle trails at dawn and world-class dining by evening, without ever fighting traffic to reach either. Commute Times: Roughly 10 minutes to Casco Viejo and Albrook, 15–20 minutes to the Banking District and Punta Pacífica, 20 minutes to the Amador Causeway, and about 30–35 minutes to Tocumen International Airport outside peak hours. The figure covers this fully restored four-bedroom residence with approximately 400 m² of construction on more than 1,000 m² of land, including new furnishings from the recent renovation, jacuzzi, sauna, bar, terrace and extensive private gardens. Utilities, garden maintenance and any additional services are confirmed at the time of offer. Contact DoPanama for a current, itemized breakdown. You gain space, privacy and character that no tower can replicate — three levels, private grounds, mature trees and a genuine Canal Zone pedigree. The property has undergone an integral renovation covering flooring, lighting, roofs, structure and landscaping, so you inherit the charm without the maintenance surprises typical of unrestored historic homes. Exceptionally so. Ancón has hosted Canal Zone families, diplomats and international professionals for generations, and remains one of the greenest, quietest and most centrally located neighborhoods in Panama City. International schools, hospitals, Albrook Mall and Casco Viejo are all within a short drive. The ground floor holds the kitchen, social areas, terrace, jacuzzi, sauna, patio, laundry and maid's room with bath. The second level contains the principal social spaces — living room, dining room and bar. The third level is entirely private, with four bedrooms, two of them en suite, and a shared bathroom for the remaining two. Panama places no restrictions on foreign ownership, and foreigners hold the same property rights as Panamanian citizens. Leases are typically documented with a formal contract, deposit and proof of income, while purchases move through title verification, a promise-of-sale agreement and closing before a public notary. As a licensed and bonded brokerage (PJ-1430-2023), DoPanama manages every step, including residency and relocation guidance. Absolutely. Private viewings are arranged by appointment, and we recommend seeing this home in the late afternoon when light filters through the garden canopy. For clients still abroad, we conduct detailed live video walkthroughs before you book a flight. Call or WhatsApp +507 6443-3341. Restored Canal Zone homes on Ancón Hill rarely reach the open market, and the finest are typically claimed within weeks by diplomatic and corporate tenants.
