This area is in coastal Belize’s new growth area ~ within a 58 minute drive from the airport. The waterfront is an IUCN Category IV Wildlife Sanctuary, featuring some of the best sport fishing on the planet. This is a major estuary system, with 7 pure jungle rivers flowing in, and one wild and scenic river, flowing into the sea. It is an important spawning and feeding ground for reef fish. One can catch tarpon and barracuda several miles up its freshwater tributaries. The Southern Lagoon is home to the largest concentration ~ and “last stand” ~ of the West Indian Manatee. It is a short boat ride to the Caribbean Sea with miles of untouched beaches. Offshore is the world’s second largest barrier reef, the MesoAmerican Barrier Reef, with the best snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing, and sport fishing.
This off-grid estate is air conditioned, and completely powered by a state-of-the-art solar power system. It has a modern kitchen, ensuite bathrooms, and 360° veranda under-roof. It is served by a robust, filtered, rainwater catchment system providing all household water needs for all residences on site. It is within cellular coverage, and has line-of-sight broadband for great internet access.
