10001121509 - (#2173) - 13 ACRES SECLUDED RAINFOREST PROPERTY NEAR AGUA VIVA COMMUNITY NEAR BELMOPAN, CAYO DISTRICT. - This beautifully forested, 13 acre parcel is situated in the foothills of the Mayan Mountains near the Roaring River and the ATM Cave. It is accessed from an east-west road that runs the entire length of the property along its northern border. A high, north-facing hill occupies the west side and provides an ideal homesite with potential for at least 180 degree views of the broad river valley and surrounding hills. A good road has been built to the homesite including a heavy duty, steel I-beam bridge with an integrated privacy gate. This bridge spans a picturesque creekbed that flows only during the rainiest times of the year.
At the homesite you will find a fortress-like, poured concrete foundation. Built to accommodate a single family home, the existing structure provides for a one car, basement level garage, a large lock up room and a solar power collection and distribution room as well as a lower level guest apartment. Additionally, it offers main level covered parking and a platform for rain water collection tanks. The seller will happily share any drawings or developmental concepts which he holds.
The east end of the property is primarily gentle and wooded, rising more steeply toward the extreme southeast corner. The bush in this area is exceptionally beautiful with a mix of hard and soft wood trees interspersed with various tropical palms. The canopy is high leaving the floor open and accessible. An old roadbed and other walking trails increase accessibility. There is also a more or less 1 acre cleared area which fronts on the access road and is east of the driveway.
The location is somewhat remote but not inconvenient. It is 6 miles from the George Price Highway at Teakettle Village and 6 ½ miles from the Hummingbird Highway via the Agua Viva Community. This makes either of the two major business centers, Belmopan (the national capital) or Spanish Lookout about a 30 to 35 minute drive. A thirty minute walk through the bush brings you to Springfield, a horse and buggy Mennonite, farming community. The remoteness services to aid security because it is beyond the reach of most mischief seekers.
This property is ideally situated for a private, unhurried, outdoor lifestyle. It is a birdwatchers paradise. Howler monkeys, kinkajues and other wildlife are your closest neighbors. It is perfect for hiking and horseback riding, etc.
A 20 acre farm of fruit trees, horses and gardens neighbors the property to the North. It is the year round residence of an expatriated, American family. Other neighbors are further removed.
