ACTIVE  81.5 Acres with New River Lagoon frontage 2mls South Lamanai Mayan Ruins

This untouched 81.5-acre property is perfectly located just 2 miles south of the Lamanai Mayan Ruins and in the heart of farmland Indian Village, Orange Walk District. Orange Walk District, known as ‘Sugar City’, is recognized for its sugar production and is home to the local Tower Hill Sugar Factory, which supplies sugar to the country and exports it as well. In addition to sugar production, the town has expanded into the cultivation of soybeans, onions, and papaya. It is also famous for cattle and rum production. The only toll bridge in the country is located at the town’s entrance.

Orange Walk is best known for its Mayan ruin, Lamanai, river tours, bird watching, and a large community of howler monkeys. Lamanai, translating to ‘submerged crocodile’, features one of the tallest buildings in the Mayan world (112 feet), providing breathtaking views from the top. It can be reached by both land and river, with the river being the preferred mode of transportation. Along the New River route, various flora and fauna thrive, with many different species of birds and animals, including howler monkeys.

The property has 1200 feet of New River lagoon frontage. Except for an area near the river that was cleared for fruit trees, it remains covered with tropical jungle and tall trees in its natural state. The area boasts limestone-based, rich, fertile soil that drains quickly, preventing flooding during the rainy season.

This property is ideal for anyone interested in developing an eco-jungle lodge, fishing lodge, or offering river tours, along with various other commercial development opportunities for the area’s thriving tourist industry, where competition is minimal. It can also serve as off-the-grid, self-sufficient farmland, a cattle farm, or a vacation retreat due to its unique location and rich soil.
