Real Estate: This 30-Acre Eco-Retreat in Belize Is Up for Sale

by Larry Waight

If you compare “tropical” real estate prices in North America, you’ve probably surmised that you won’t be relocating to Hawaii any time soon. Real estate prices on the islands are the highest in North America, and there’s nothing like a killer price tag to burst the bubble on your real estate dream. Luckily, you can actually find your tropical haven close to home, and for a reasonable price nonetheless.  Forget that Honolulu property and the jet lag that might come with it. Instead, find paradise in Belize.

A 30-acre Eco-Retreat Located in the Hummingbird Hills, Belize

Comprised of a home and caretaker’s cabin, this is the ideal vacation, investment, or second home. And since it offers 2,878 square feet of living space, you’ll get almost as much space as that Hawaii property with the $12 million dollar price tag. This real estate opportunity, however, is going for a fraction of that cost, at US$449,000.

This eco-retreat sits surrounded by nature while still being close enough to a major highway for access to everything you require. The property includes 30 acres of natural forested land that gently slopes upward over 125-foot-high hilltops. There are also two limestone caves on the property as well as numerous hillside locations where you could develop additional home sites if you want to expand.

Turn the 1,472-square-foot 1 bed/2 bath main cabin with loft into your private residence. Enjoy the roomy outdoor deck and bar area that opens to gorgeous landscapes. Among the interior features, you’ll appreciate the vaulted ceilings, wet bar, and hardwood floors. And if entertaining is your thing, the back deck has a secluded area with an authentic thatched palapa that can serve as an outdoor bar or dining area.

Meanwhile, the 468-square-foot cabin found onsite is outfitted with a full bathroom, kitchenette, and expansive front porch. A screened-in lower level is ideal for relaxing. Plus, there’s enough room to store items within this second residence.

The property boasts newly added driveways and parking areas, but the features that will thrill you most are the hundreds of hardwood trees and cohune palms, and the spectacular views of the surrounding Maya Mountains.
