Choose from 2 waterfront properties by the entrance to Ben Loman Cave, which is one of coastal Belize’s amazing adventure tourism sites. One property is 100 acres, the other is 200 acres, subdivided into 16 titled lots. Set within pristine natural beauty, this location is surrounded by some of the finest sport fishing on earth. Permits to build docks are easily obtainable, and building materials – even to this remote, off-grid location – are easily accessible.
These properties are very close to, and within view of, the new luxury residential development being built on the Western Lagoon, called “Coconut Point”.
This location is only an hour from the international airport,
via a breath-taking boat ride through jungle rivers
and seaside lagoons teeming with birds and wildlife.
On the western shore of Belize’s Western Lagoon is a broad open savanna, backing up to the dramatic limestone foothills of the Mayan Mountains. The Western Lagoon is part of the 9,000-acre Gales Point Wildlife Sanctuary, an IUCN Category IV Wildlife Sanctuary. The nearest hill to the rear of the property has a large, easily accessible cavern called “Ben Loman Cave”. The property features a firm, sandy beach, and coconut and mango trees. The land gently rises west to the jungled hills. Although a seasonal 4WD road crosses the property about 9 miles off the paved Coastal Highway, this property is officially “water access only”. Neighboring property owners are considering sharing costs for a good road.
Both property sections consist of open savanna, and do not include the hill nor the cave, which are within the Manatee Forest Reserve. This area is off-grid, but within 4G cellular range. The 200 acre property is legally divided into 16 lots.
These 2 properties are about 6 miles by boat from the Caribbean Sea, across the lagoon and through the wild & scenic Manatee Bar River. It is also about 4 miles by boat from Gales Point Village’s public dock, and 1 mile by boat from a boat ramp off the Coastal Highway.
The Coastal Highway has been realigned and paved quite recently, and is now a significant shortcut to southern Belize. Since then this beautiful, limestone hill, seaside-lagoon, and open savanna area has been gaining in popularity. Already cellular towers are built, and line-of-sight broadband is expanding. More roads and infrastructure are coming to this area. Land prices here are still very low, as compared to Belize’s otalready-established waterfront areas.
Did Ben Loman Cave get its name from an early pioneer ~ or because it is full of huge stalactites and stalagmites, and local Kriole guides warn us to, “ben’ lo, mon!” to avoid bonking our heads on the stalactites?
This cave is a short hike west of the property. It can be accessed by a non-strenuous hike from this property’s beach. Inside there are easy passageways and 30-ft-high ceilings, but one must wear shoes with good tread to avoid slipping, and carry flashlights. The main entrance has a solid wood ladder, while at the rear of the cave are climbing vines allowing more energetic hikers to climb up and out, accessing a high, hilltop lookout with Caribbean vistas.
100 Acre Property: $360,000
200 Acre Property: $750,000
Legally subdivided into 16 lots.
