ACTIVE  Deep South Farms – Turnkey Organic Farm with Residential Development Opportunity

Deep South Farms is an impressive, well-maintained, income-producing organic farm adjacent to an outstanding 100-acre residential development opportunity that’s primed for expansion. This beautiful, well-established operating farm boasts a highly visible, well-trafficked location along the main highway through Southern Belize and sits just 30 minutes away from the Placencia Peninsula, one of the country’s most popular tourist destinations and a haven for expats and retirees looking to make Belize their home. It offers over 2,400 feet of waterfront along the year-round Santa Maria creek and a stunning backdrop with magnificent views of the majestic Mayan Mountains in the distance.

Approximately 135 of the property’s 150 acres have already been cleared and developed, with roughly 70 acres used for pastures and farming activities while approximately 50 acres are planted with thousands of coconut palms. A private access road runs along the entire southern and western boundaries, leading to a 10-acre forested area along the creek. The main farming activities are set on 50 acres on the northeast corner of the property where the creek meets the highway, and the heart of the farm consists of organic chickens housed in several locations throughout the property, including chicken roosting houses, a chicken hatchery, and mobile chicken tractors. The farm also raises Brahma and Holstein cattle for beef. Both Red and Black Tilapia are raised in 14 of 19 ponds, each measuring 80’ x 160’, fed by the freshwater Santa Maria creek and underground springs running along the northern boundary of the farm. There are two 80’ x 200’ retention ponds for irrigation, while the other three ponds provide water resources for livestock. Over 30 varieties of fruit trees and vegetables are grown on the farm, with the ability to easily expand products and production. Varieties include Mangos, Oranges, Soursop, Craboo, Malay Apples, Jalapenos, Tangerines, Lemons, Coconuts, Broccoli, Bananas, Tomatoes, Lettuce, Moringa, Limes, Cassava, Kale, Pineapples, Cashews, Plantains, and Grapefruits.

A beautiful custom-built, 3 Bed, 3 Bath home is tucked away in the middle of the fruit orchards and offers an impressive 2,800 sq ft of living space with custom hardwood finishing throughout. The home is raised 10 feet to take advantage of the cool mountain breezes and provide a lower level utility/laundry room and open area underneath for parking and covered workspace. An additional caretaker home sits near the front of the farm and also doubles as the farm store, providing extra covered area for parking and outdoor seating. The farm includes a tractor with backhoe, bush hog, front end loader, auger, and other equipment. An online website and ordering system for farm products allows customers to order online and have products delivered.

After years of successful operations, Deep South Farms is ready to grow and expand the farm while beginning development of the surrounding 100 acres into a sustainable residential farm community. Development for the first phase of planned residential community development is about to begin, bringing food and water security and the potential for sustainable off-grid living for hundreds of residents. Farmers, investors, and new owners are welcomed to participate in this growing venture opportunity at Deep South Farms. The owners are open to various investment options or potential sale of the farm or entire property.

The property is located near Mile 30, Southern Highway, South of Santa Maria Creek, Stann Creek District, Belize.
