We are selling our partially completed jungle estate in Belize. It is located only six miles from the capital city of Belmopan, yet it is private and secluded, beautifully situated within five acres of cahune rainforest, fully fenced, your own private reserve, with nearby access to the Belize River. Above is a view of the structures, from the carport overlooking the house foundation to the guesthouse beyond. As you can see, we have made as small a footprint as possible so as to not disturb the natural beauty of the site.

It is rare to find a spot that can have all the modern amenities, electricity, water, telephone and DSL internet, and yet also be so much a part of nature. We searched all of Belize to find the ideal spot for this home. We are retired field biologists and wanted to combine creature comfort with a love of nature and wildlife and the tropics.

This spot is ideal with a large number of species of birds and many mammals including howler monkeys which stay high in the canopy feeding on the fig and other jungle trees. We have built jungle trails throughout the property and have kept all the indigenous plants including many species of orchids and bromeliads.

The property has a fully completed, beautiful guesthouse with many extras including AC. This is an ideal place for you to live in while you complete construction on the house, as it is very comfortable. Banana and Papaya as well as haliconia have been planted in the landscaped area around the carport and many natural floral vines have been trained to climb the hillside behind that guesthouse.

From large "L" shaped the fully screened verandah of the guest house you can watch for howler monkeys which are often seen high up yet close to the clearing.

Or you can birdwatch for some of the many birds that come to the custom stone birdbath nearby.

Many extras include a tile bath, and custom kitchenette both with mahogany cabinets and marble tops. Doors are also custom mahogany.

Upon completion of the main house, this guesthouse would make an ideal rental to use for a B&B business, because of the ideal location near many attractions in the Cayo District such as the Barton Creek caving area, several Maya ruins, butterfly farms and many parks and hiking trails.

The completed carport has room for three vehicles. It has a large storage room/shop running along the back as well as a tile bathroom complete with shower. We are including most of our power tools in the sale including a tile saw and a radial arm saw. Also included in the carport - a washer and gas dryer. A camper trailer is also in the carport and is included with the house. It is fully self contained and can be used to house a worker.

The foundation of the main is house complete and all the conduit and plumbing set up, but is not so far along that it cannot be changed to fit your needs. We will supply you with a full set of plans. Care was taken to form it on concrete pilings so as to leave a small footprint.

There is even an 8000 gallon cistern in place and completed to be alternative water source, a handy thing to have when you have a pool.

Much of the equipment for the main house, such as sinks and security bars, are already on site and included in the sale. Security bars are custom designed in an art-deco pattern and match the two gates (on each end of the "U" shaped drive). Hardware and electronics for automatic gate opener is included.

 

All of the wiring and phone lines are underground, including CAT5 cable for DSL internet.

There are far too many extras to list here. The nature trails alone make this one of the most beautiful private homes in Belize.

The plans call for a beautiful two story house with a great room and large veranda looking out over a deck, lap pool and pond going into the rain forest. Since much of the equipment to finish the house is at hand expenses can be kept at a minimum. We even have a builder's estimate for around $100 thousand for completion of the house. In the above site plan, the carport is in the upper right, with the main house in the middle and the guesthouse below. Floor plans can be emailed upon request.
