View all 13 photosThe tropical home you designed in your head — already drawn, permitted, and ready to build in Pedasí.Casa Portobello removes the hardest part of building in the tropics: the guesswork. Completed architectural and engineering plans, a developer who manages permits, materials, and crews, and a home purpose-built for Panama's climate — 130m² of open, breezy living that spills onto a 30m² covered patio. All of it, in one of Panama's most beloved coastal towns, for $218,000. Brand-new turnkey construction — $218,0002 king-sized bedrooms, each with a full bathroom30m² covered patio off the living area and primary suiteOpen-concept 100m² interior designed for cross-ventilationInsulated roofing, clay-block walls, PVC windows built for salt airArchitectural and engineering plans already completeOptional pre-approved pool packageNeighborhoodPedasí is the Azuero Peninsula's most cherished coastal town — a low-slung grid of pastel houses, palm shade, and Pacific breeze where fishermen head out before dawn and expats linger over long lunches. It has the beaches and the surf without the resort sprawl, and enough real infrastructure — clinics, markets, banks, restaurants — that daily life stays easy. The rhythm here is unhurried, sociable, and genuinely Panamanian. Commute Times: Approximately 4.5–5 hours by road from Panama City, or a short flight to Chitré followed by about an hour's drive. Playa Venao is about 30 minutes; the provincial services of Las Tablas roughly 45 minutes. No — the $218,000 covers the completed turnkey home only. You can build Casa Portobello on a lot you already own, and DoPanama can help you identify and evaluate suitable land options in and around Pedasí if you don't yet have one. This is a turnkey construction project rather than a custom-build service, which is exactly why it's efficient and predictable. Buyers can personalize a defined set of finishes such as flooring and wall colors, and a pre-approved pool can be added to the plan. The developer manages permits, materials, and construction while the buyer makes staged payments tied to construction milestones. It's a structured, progress-linked schedule rather than a lump sum up front — one of the main reasons buyers find this approach far less stressful than a from-scratch build. It's one of the country's most popular coastal retirement destinations. The town offers beaches, a walkable center, medical services, and an established international community, while Panama's Pensionado program provides significant discounts on healthcare, travel, and utilities for qualifying retirees. Yes. Pedasí draws surfers, sportfishing groups, and seasonal visitors year-round, and a new, low-maintenance two-bedroom home with a covered patio and optional pool is well positioned for short-term rental demand. Many owners split the year between personal use and rental income. Absolutely. Foreigners hold the same titled property rights as Panamanian citizens, transactions are conducted in U.S. dollars, and the process is straightforward with proper legal representation. DoPanama is a licensed and bonded brokerage (PJ-1430-2023) and guides buyers through every step. Turnkey allocations with completed plans are limited, and construction costs in the Azuero have been climbing steadily — today's $218,000 build price won't hold indefinitely.
