Exceptional 100 Acre Hilltop Estate with 6,500 ft² Home & 1,600 ft of Riverfront
We are proud to present this one-of-a-kind property on the Hummingbird Highway. An estate designed and built with love and absolute care to maximize the experience of living in one of Belize’s most beautiful areas.
Surrounded by lush greenery and stunning vistas of the Stann Creek Valley, this property brings to life the dream of owning an ideal estate complete with caretaker residences, a paved road carved around the hill, and jungle leading to the gorgeous residence perched on a steep hillside, looking down to the jungle, pasture, and running creek below.
The property encompasses 100 acres running from the valley below with the South Stann Creek flowing through both sides of the Hummingbird Highway/Valley Road and up to the hill overlooking the entire valley. It includes tropical rainforest with large trees and open pasture for horses and cattle, along with a beautiful creek winding through it, framed by a majestic mountainside to the north and views of a mountain ridge to the south. The creek’s rushing water can be heard throughout the property.
The main residence features a wide open atrium at the center of the home. The roof-covered atrium is filled with natural light from large windows and skylights above, complemented by the sounds of running water pooling at the heart of the structure.
The living room and den lie just beyond the atrium, providing space for a parlour, TV room, and lounge. A shared bath is adjacent to this open area, and there’s also a half-bath off the TV room. Running off two opposite sides of the atrium are the bedrooms. The master bedroom is configured as a suite with a large bedroom, walk-in closet, and beautiful master bath. Across the atrium sits the second bedroom, complete with its own en-suite bath and walk-in closet. Both bedrooms are spacious and warm, finished with tropical hardwoods on the floors and ceilings, and around the windows. The bathrooms are tiled floor to ceiling with gorgeous travertine tile and adorned with traditional and Mayan themes using stone and clay materials. The laundry room is located in the main house. Additionally, the massive private office can be converted into a third bedroom or possibly a playroom.
This home is ideal for entertaining. Opposite the home’s entrance, a large, professional kitchen finished in granite and hardwoods offers the space necessary for diverse and specialized dishes. Facing East and enjoying the best valley views is the expansive formal dining room, designed to accommodate at least ten guests, featuring a gorgeous hardwood table that complements the overall decor. The dining room leads out to the property’s wrap-around verandah, an extension of the home that allows for uninterrupted walks above the hill with views of the valley and jungle below. Sunsets, sunrises, and everything in between can be enjoyed along this covered space leading to the open deck on the southern face of the home. The open deck flows from the living room and parlour, providing space for lounging, enjoying a fire on chilly nights, or grilling when the mood strikes.
Parking is available at the entrance of the home, and a paved road runs beyond the gates and around the hill to the highway. Just below the home sits the first of two caretaker quarters, with the second located at the property’s entrance, just off the highway. Each caretaker quarter contains one bedroom and one bath.
Beyond the general layout of the property and the design of the main residence lie the details of the craftsmanship. From well-maintained walls and hardwood floors and ceilings to quality tile work, light fixtures, hardwood window shutters, and landscaping, all combine to offer a truly authentic feel and experience of living along Belize’s Hummingbird Highway.
