Casa Gorgas – Historic Hilltop Home for Sale in Cerro Ancón

Tucked into the hillside of Cerro Ancón, in one of the most exclusive gated communities in Panama, Casa Gorgas is one of the few homes in Panama City that carries a story as rich as its setting. Built in the early 1900s, it combines traditional Panamanian design with Canal Zone architecture, offering a rare blend of history and character.

The home sits on a 1,260 m² lot with 626 m² of construction. It includes 4 bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, a spacious living room, formal reception area, office, and a large kitchen. The layout is generous, with many original details still intact.

A private garden surrounds the home, adding shade and privacy in one of the city’s most protected areas. Homes with this much space, so close to downtown, are hard to find.

The location puts you near major sites like the ACP Administration Building, Amador Causeway, Biomuseo, Marcos Gelabert Airport, and Casco Antiguo. Cerro Ancón stands out for its nature trails, wildlife, and cultural landmarks. It’s one of the most unique neighborhoods in Panama City.

Whether you’re after a historic home, a diplomatic residence, or a long-term investment, Casa Gorgas is a standout opportunity.

Casa Gorgas Cerro Ancón

Cerro Ancón is unlike anywhere else in Panama City.

Despite its calm setting, it’s just minutes from Casco Antiguo, the Amador Causeway, and the Canal Administration Building. Homes here often date back to the Canal Zone era, giving the neighborhood a distinct architectural and cultural identity.

With limited development and a strong sense of community, Cerro Ancón is ideal for those seeking space, privacy, and something truly different in the heart of the city.
