WATCH: This eco-resort in Panama could be yours for $10

Have you ever dreamed of packing up your desk and leaving the "real world" behind?

A luxury eco-resort in Panama can be yours for $10.

One Detroit, Michigan couple did just that in 2013. And now they're giving another person the chance to live a life in paradise.

The couple -- who now have a young daughter -- are the owners of Casa Cayuco in Bocas del Toro, Panama, a 40-minute flight from Panama City.

The property is a top-rated resort in Panama.

For $10, hopefuls can enter a contest to win the resort run by British competition organizers WinThis.Life. The company is also giving $50,000 to the winner of the "spot the ball" type contest.

The current owners are an American couple from Detroit, Michigan.

The 24-bed resort will become owner of four stand-alone cabins, a main lodge, two lodge suites, and an air-conditioned luxury owner’s suite on two-acres bordered by the sea and the rainforest.

Dave and Suzanne Smith turned the once-rustic property into a top-rated resort on TripAdvisor. Today, it attracts yogis, eco-travelers, honeymooners and families.
