Villa Bambú is a fully furnished, single-level villa in Sanctuary Gardens, a gated community in the hills of Cañas, approximately 5 km from Playa Venao. With views of the Pacific Ocean, Isla Cañas, mountains, and countryside, the property combines modern tropical architecture, privacy, and practical infrastructure for full-time or vacation living.
Property, Architecture, and Views
The villa offers 279.58 m² (approximately 3,009 sq. ft.) of construction on a landscaped 2,284 m² (0.56-acre) lot. Green hills, palms, native vegetation, and lawn surround the residence, while its elevated position opens views toward the ocean and the southern Azuero Peninsula. The grounds offer privacy and usable outdoor space without the upkeep of a much larger estate.
The entire home is arranged on one level. High natural wood ceilings, warm wooden doors, dark structural beams, white walls, and large glass openings create a contemporary interior. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors connect the open living, dining, and kitchen areas with the terrace, pool, and surrounding landscape.
Bedrooms and Interior Spaces
Villa Bambú includes three bedrooms and three full bathrooms. Two rooms are dedicated bedroom suites, while the third can serve as a guest bedroom, studio, private office, or creative space.
The primary suite features large windows, direct access to the terrace, a walk-in closet, and a private bathroom with double vanity. The additional rooms provide privacy and convenient access to full bathrooms. A dedicated laundry room with washer and dryer and interior storage add everyday practicality.
Kitchen, Terrace, and Infinity Pool
The modern kitchen features a large waterfall island with preparation space and seating, custom dark cabinetry, and light countertops. Appliances include a five-burner gas cooktop, built-in oven, side-by-side refrigerator, dishwasher, and wine refrigerator.
Sliding glass doors open onto approximately 92 m² of covered terrace. Its deep roof overhang creates shade for outdoor dining, lounging, and entertaining. The indoor and outdoor areas flow together, making the terrace a natural extension of the main living space.
Beyond the terrace, a private infinity pool measuring approximately 4.4 x 9.10 meters faces the green hills, Pacific Ocean, and Isla Cañas. The landscaped outdoor areas offer space for poolside seating and enjoying the views.
Fully Furnished and Ready to Use
The property is sold fully furnished and equipped. The sale includes principal indoor and outdoor furniture, beds, dining furniture, terrace seating, pool loungers, appliances, and decorative pieces. New owners can begin enjoying the home without undertaking a major furnishing project.
Villa Bambú has an integrated solar-energy system with battery storage while remaining connected to the electrical grid. Reliable water, four split air-conditioning units, and high-speed Starlink internet support comfortable everyday living. The property has unobstructed northern sky exposure for Starlink, making it attractive for remote work and extended stays.
A paved driveway leads to the residence, with parking for two vehicles. Tropical gardens, palms, and open lawn frame the home while preserving its ocean and countryside views.
Sanctuary Gardens and the Playa Venao Area
Sanctuary Gardens is a low-density gated community with controlled access, large private lots, tropical landscaping, and contemporary homes. The current HOA fee is $350 per month. A community gym and spa are planned for completion in 2027; these facilities are not yet completed.
Approximately 5 km away, Playa Venao offers surfing, beachfront restaurants, cafés, grocery stores, fitness and wellness facilities, and an international community. Cañas offers a quieter setting among hills and tropical vegetation. Nearby Isla Cañas is known for mangroves, protected beaches, and seasonal sea turtle nesting.
Villa Bambú is suitable as a permanent residence, second home, or a property combining personal use with vacation rentals. Its furnished condition, private infinity pool, ocean views, solar system, reliable water, internet, and gated setting make it a flexible option near Playa Venao.
The setting offers a balance between access and privacy. Owners can reach Playa Venao's restaurants, surf, and social scene by car while enjoying the hills of Cañas at home. This villa's single-level design, shaded terrace, and open living areas suit both daily routines and visits from family or friends. For those considering vacation rentals, the furnished interiors and established utilities provide a practical starting point, although rental performance will depend on management and market conditions.
