We have a number of totally Self-Sufficient Tropical Safe Haven Estates, off-grid, secure, with food production & water. We also have undeveloped properties well-suited for your Safe Haven plans. Here is an overview ~ we hope you will contact us for specific details.
InTheTropics offers a number of luxury estates, and spectacular, easily-developed land. Some featuring completely self-sustained, off-grid, power/ water/ communication/ & food production. Some estates are equipped and staffed for serious 24/7/365 security. They are accessible by road, by air, and by sea – from anywhere. With ample freshwater, swimming pools, large cisterns, robust and trustworthy solar/wind power systems with computerized generator backup, you can live in air-conditioned comfort – safe in one of our planet’s most pristine tropical environments.
Our gardens, orchards and farm fields yield two harvests each year, in a lush, fertile area noted for high-quality, top-producing citrus. Several such properties have well-managed commercial fruit orchards and/or row-crops bringing in twice-yearly profits ~ with little effort on the owner’s part. One property has 500 meters of private, elevated, Caribbean swimming beach and a gated private drive. Another has protected private docks plus a 100 ft. pier with a Mayan-made palapa roof, direct ocean access, miles of hiking trails, and a private, 2-1/2 mile paved road. Others are close enough to the sea to offer private, ocean-going dock space, yet elevated enough to be safe from the worst possible weather; Totally private and secure, yet within easy access to an international airport with daily flights from Cancun, across USA and Canada, and soon with European flight connections.
Our favorites are located in Belize, a friendly, English-speaking, British commonwealth country, with stable currency & government, and a laid-back Caribbean lifestyle. Other safe-haven estates are in the Costa Rica and Dominica’s mountains. We no longer represent Honduran properties due to security issues. Foreigners can hold clear, freehold title to properties in Belize ~ even on the coast, which is not the case in Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, and others Central American countries. Belize has generous programs for foreign retirees above the age of 45, and pathways to dual passports and citizenship.

An owner may come and go as they please, because each home has on-site watchmen, who keep the property running smoothly and secure in the owner’s absence, at a very economical cost.
A few are furnished. One comes with 4WD vehicles and boats. Some are income-producing with vacation rental and/or farm income, while all of these properties continue to appreciate in value, year after year.
As you can see, we have thought this “Safe Haven” idea out very carefully.
Having built and equipped one such coastal safe-haven estate ourselves, we can provide unique insight. When I am coming in-country, I call ahead and my watchman picks us up at the airport in my own vehicle. Beer and wine is cold, and dinner is ready when we get “home”. Our solar & wind power system works so well that our back-up propane generator rarely needs to come on, except to recharge its own battery. Our off-grid home is fully air-conditioned, with a modern kitchen, laundry, filtered swimming pool, workshop, orchards ~ and fruit/veggie nursery.
Sitting on the dock at night, we see the Milky Way in incredible detail. The fishing is world-class. The MesoAmerican Barrier Reef is nearby for fantastic snorkeling and diving. Miles of private, untouched Caribbean beaches are close by.
We offer secure, self-sufficient properties of 3 acres, 10 acres, 19 acres, 50 acres, 150 acres, 250 acres, 875 acres, and more. Several are Caribbean beach properties, some are mountain properties – a few are mountain properties with spectacular views.
