Overview
Description
The Property
Unique property sits along the beautiful Sittee River which is one of the most navigable rivers in Belize. The property is approximately 6 miles off the Southern Highway! The road accessing the property is an all-weather road that one can drive on a 2×4 year round. The road access is utilized by owners at Sanctuary Belize Development and usually the road is in very good condition. A great value to this property it is only +-7 miles by boat to the Caribbean Sea giving you feel access to all the beautiful Cayes in Southern Belize and also the Great Barrier Reef!
The 17.46 Acres sits some 5 to 8 feet (approximately) abvove the Sittee River waterline making the property sufficiently high to withstand normal river tides. A portion of the property was once cleared around 2004 but now the jungle has claimed it back with first and second growth jungle ideal for a Jungle Lodge or fishing lodge with access to miles of the navigable Sittee River and full access to the Caribbean Seas! The ideal thing to do is do selective clearing and leaving the most of the natural jungle as is and untouched to also invite nature lovers who enjoy bird watching and the beauty of Belize’s Flora and Fauna.
In 2004 a man-made canal with direct access to the Sittee River was excavated with 500-600 feet long, 10 feet in width and between 8-12 feet in depth with a small turn around and a boat ramp. The property was being prepared for a residential subdivision but plans were put on hold and the idea would still be viable for any person wanting to pursue the idea.
The property has electricity right at the road access along the southern end of the property making this property a rough gem with great value! The options of development is unlimited! The property may be priced a bit high compared to some properties in the area but one must take into consideration the access to electricity, additional water feature enhancing value of the property with the excavation of the canal providing a more and secure access to the river.
The area and in particularly the property one can see evidence of various type of animal species that roam around the area such as the National Animal the Tapir, Gibnut, Deer, big cats and many species of birds and others!
