Easily accessed and central, it is located approximately midway down the Coastal Highway, being just 25 miles from Dangriga (South), 35 miles, Belize City (North) and the capital, Belmopan (West). It is also just 3 miles from the coast, being a 15 minute drive to the Southern Lagoon, Gales Point and the Caribbean Sea.

It is noted by The Lands Department as being 224.5 acres, however its western boundary with the Manatee River tributary which winds in great loops through dense forest, suggests a greater acreage. This river (Big Creek) has no communities up stream, and runs clear and clean year round. The property is roughly one kilometer square, being bordered to the east by the Coastal Road and to the south by a concession. The property is fenced with post and barbed-wire all along the road and down the concession.

Approximately half of the property is pine ridge Savannah to the south and east. A central hill of 150 feet, with a footprint of perhaps 10 acres, dominates the property, and gives good views all around. To the north and west the Savannah gives way to transitional forest (being managed with some clearing and re-growth) and eventually dense, riverine forest. 1,400 valuable hardwood trees were randomly planted six years ago from the hill to the river over an 80 acre area; commercial species include, mahogany, santa maria, tropical cedar, ziracote; other indigenous species include, ceiba, cortez, bukut and raintree.

The Driveway from the Coastal Road is an all weather gravel road and raised with drainage on both sides. A main Iron Gate at the road is alarmed with cameras watching from the hill. The driveway meanders through Savannah for about 500 yards before passing by the hill and entering the orchards.

Up on the side of the hill and hidden from the road is the main house, facing due west. In front of the house is a wide, landscaped field of about three acres leading to large ponds. Walking and riding trails extend beyond, into more orchards and eventually forest and the river. Behind the house on the hill is a small, maintained flower garden, with rocky paths and a thatched gazebo, surrounded by non-indigenous flowering acacias such as African flame-tree, plus tulip, palms and orchid trees.

A thatched, watchman’s cabin is passed half way down the driveway, and a workers cabin is located around the foot of the hill. Two 20ft storage containers with an attached roof between, comprises the work shop and equipment bay for ground staff.

Atop the hill is a 20ft steel tower with a 1kw wind generator. Also attached are internet radios and dishes, and security equipment. Telephone services are received by an antenna on the main house and boosted within.

The Belize Coastal Road Home was built in 2010 and is yet to be fully completed, offering great opportunities for buyers wishing to add their personal touches to the building. Externally, railings and balcony floors are unfinished, and some plastering may be required under the house. While inside, the bedrooms on the second floor are functional and only require some minor finishes, the first floor halls and kitchen require drop ceilings and tiled floors, and most electrical/plumbing.

An above ground swimming pool is situated close to the southern balcony. Plans were to build a large open deck from the balcony to the pool side.

The Belize Forestry Department has commended and acknowledged the management of this property as a Wildlife Sanctuary.

There are release cages in various locations, where birds and mammals are rehabilitated for the Belize Forestry Department before being set free.
