Escape to your own paradise in Monkey River, Belize. This stunning 2.5-acre property is boat-accessible yet conveniently close to nearby villages and roads, providing the perfect blend of adventure and privacy. With 470 feet of beautiful beachfront backed by a National Forest, the property offers a serene and exclusive setting for nature lovers and anyone seeking tranquility.
The property features two move-in ready homes, each with 2 bedrooms and in excellent condition, as the current owners live here full-time. The main residence has large screened porches that can be converted into a restaurant, offering endless potential for expansion. Infrastructure is already in place for developing an off-grid eco-resort, including water storage that can support a pool and boutique cabins. River access at the back of the property allows for safe boat storage, and a boat with a 100 hp Yamaha engine is included.
Designed for off-grid living, the property is equipped with full solar power, rainwater collection, and dedicated high-speed internet. The area is known for its abundant wildlife, including monkeys, manatees, and even jaguars, as it backs onto a protected National Forest. The current owners have also created miles of trails throughout the property for birdwatching, running, or enjoying the surrounding nature.
All essential infrastructure for resort development is already completed, including solar panels powerful enough to run air conditioning, a backup generator, and 39 water tanks with a capacity of 26,000 gallons. The land features 18 raised vegetable beds with rich soil, mature fruit trees like avocado, mango, and coconut, and a strategic irrigation system. The beachfront is protected by a high rock seawall with easy beach access, and a 50-foot pier adds further convenience.
Located just a 5-minute boat ride from Monkey River Village and a 30-minute protected journey through the mangroves to Placencia or Independence Villages, this property offers unmatched accessibility compared to island properties, which often require longer trips for supplies. The area is well-known for safe anchorage, providing peace of mind during all weather conditions. Unlike many islands that face exposure to harsh weather, this property’s location is secure and convenient.
The current owners have built and maintained the property to be manageable by just two people, yet with the infrastructure in place for future development into a boutique eco-resort. They are happy to assist with the transition, connect you with local builders, and offer training to ensure you feel right at home.
Whether you envision an eco-resort, a fishing lodge with access to river, reef, and shore fishing, or a private, self-sufficient retreat, this property is ready to make your dreams come true. There is even the option to expand your beachfront to over 800 feet by purchasing adjacent lots. Surrounded by the beauty of the Caribbean Sea and lush rainforest, this exceptional property offers endless possibilities for a unique and fulfilling lifestyle.
