Press Release Summary: A few years ago, Ken Engle and Bernard Rothermund, California
builders and adventure seekers, were traveling across Panama in search of an ideal
location to build a gated community of beautiful homes and condos. After many trips
to Panama they finally found the perfect property in the highlands of Western Panama
near the Costa Rican border


Press Release Body:
"I have traveled extensively throughout Mexico and Central America over the years
and had

always dreamed of retiring in Latin America." said Engle. "I have looked at Mexico and

Costa Rica as possible candidates but was unable to find a good combination of
excellent

weather, government stability, secure property ownership laws and low cost of
living. When

I discovered Panama , I knew that I had finally found everything that I was looking
for in

a retirement/vacation location."

The highland areas of Volcan and Boquete in the province of Chiriqui have
historically been

the vacation locations for "well-to-do" Panamanians for escaping the heat and
humidity of

Panama City . At an altitude of 4,500 feet, the town of Volcan has year-round,
spring like

weather and spectacular views of the dormant volcanic peak, Volcan Baru.

Engle and Rothermund are creating a 133 acre gated community in a highland valley
less than

two miles outside of Volcan called "Volcan

Springs Ranch Estates." It consists of 125 one-half to one acre sized building
lots and

40 condos. The name of the development came from the fact that for many years the
property

was a "prize winning" thoroughbred horse ranch and that there are five crystal clear

springs flowing up from underground sources on the property.

Almost 40% of the property has been set aside for nature and common areas. Several
of these

nature areas have spectacular waterfalls and pools that cascade down to a river in a
deep

wild canyon below. Exotic tropical birds, colorful butterflies and wild orchids
abound in

the nature preserve areas with many walking and riding trails that wind along the
streams

and waterfalls.

Volcan Springs Ranch will offer a variety of amenities including a spacious
clubhouse that

features a meeting room, swimming pool/spa, sauna, cafe and coffee bar, exercise room,

internet cafe, sundecks, game room and billiard table. For homeowners wishing to keep

horses, there will be an equestrian center.

The clubhouse will be nestled in front of a forest of majestic pine trees with
breathtaking

views of the dormant volcanic peak, Volcan Baru and panoramic views of the surrounding

valley and sparkling lake.

"Homeowners have the option of building their own homes or we will build their home
for

them." said Rothermund who is a general contractor. "We have put together an
excellent team

of English speaking architects, engineers, lawyers and contractors. This will help
make the

homebuilding process much easier for the average American purchasing a lot and
building

their dream retirement or vacation home at Volcan Springs Ranch Estates."

"Volcan Springs Ranch Estates has truly the best of all worlds", said Engle. "It is

surrounded by nature and beauty with two very large national parks just minutes
away, yet

located 45 minutes away from Panama \'s second largest city David, which has modern

hospitals, shopping malls and an international airport.
