The Main Residence
A two-storey wooden home, elevated on concrete columns and finished throughout in rich tropical hardwood. Vaulted beam ceilings. Hardwood floors. A full appliance kitchen under a soaring cathedral roofline. Air conditioning and ceiling fans throughout. A full wraparound veranda upstairs – hammock-strung, shaded, and open to the canopy.
Two outdoor decks extend the home outward into the gardens. A 24 × 16 ft elevated Concrete and tiled Deck is the everyday gathering space. A 22 × 40 ft poured-concrete deck sits ready as the platform for a future yoga pavilion, dining structure, or guest cabana build-out. Both look directly into the bougainvillea, mango, and palm canopy that surrounds the home.
The Casita – Income-Ready From Day One
The casita is what makes this property genuinely flexible. A standalone guest cottage with its own private gated entrance from the highway, finished in partial concrete and insulated drywall, opening onto a landscaped arched-porch frontage.
Run it as an Airbnb (Mountain Pine Ridge tour traffic is consistent year-round). Use it as caretaker quarters, a work-from-home suite, or an independent guest house for visiting family. The infrastructure for any of those uses is already in place, you choose the model that fits.
Outdoor Living, Lodge-Quality
The covered outdoor entertaining area is where this property genuinely separates from the standard Cayo homestead. Mosaic-tiled floors. A full metal-and-translucent-panel roof structure. Granite dining table seating eight. Weather-resistant lounge seating. An open-air kitchen with built-in grill station. Bougainvillea, hardwood, and palm framing every sightline.
This is the kind of outdoor space boutique lodges design entire retreats around,and it is already built.
The Land
Twenty Acres Designed for Sustainable Living
The land itself is as impressive as the buildings.
Approximately seven acres have been thoughtfully developed into landscaped gardens, lawns, walking paths and residential grounds surrounding the homes.
Two additional acres produce an established orchard filled with mangoes, pineapples, lychee, papaya and dragon fruit, creating a vibrant food forest capable of supplying fresh tropical produce throughout much of the year.
The remaining eleven acres remain untouched jungle, preserving privacy while protecting a mature inventory of valuable mahogany, teak and guanacaste hardwoods that continue to appreciate naturally over time.
Existing poultry facilities support chickens, geese, guinea fowl and turkeys, while extensive water storage systems, pump infrastructure and butane hot water systems provide immediate self sufficiency for day to day living.
This is not land that requires years of work and investment.
It is a fully functioning Belize homestead ready to enjoy from the day you arrive.
