ACTIVE  Island on the Reef …Paradise

A Developer’s Dream: Your Own Private Island Awaits! A haven of beauty and tranquillity, Paradise Caye showcases 2.63 acres of pristine tropical bliss. This stunning property sets the stage for the ultimate private island getaway. The island features an over-the-water restaurant, guest cabanas, piers, and staff living quarters with the surrounding landscapes of mature and young Coconut Palms. The Caye is East-facing and surrounded by lush mangroves and protected waters. It has been developed and filled with a rock seawall around the property.

The two large master residences boast 700 sqft of air-conditioned space with en-suite bathrooms, vaulted wood-beam ceilings, natural hardwood floors, and expansive balconies. The Cabanas overlook the Caribbean Sea, ideal for enjoying both sunrises and sunsets over the azure waters. The island showcases a stunning 1500ft circular over-the-water clubhouse with a dining room, kitchen, and restroom facilities. This structure provides an expansive space perfect for a potential new restaurant or bar, featuring a thatched vaulted ceiling and a wrap-around porch for 360-degree panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea.

There is a Thatched Palapa on the beach across from the Clubhouse with a counter set-up, perfect for a beach bar, BBQ area, and additional seating for entertainment and dining. An additional 2-bedroom staff quarters unit includes a shared bathroom and a staff kitchen facility with extra storage for a diesel generator and water pump system. There are 5 large water catchment tanks where the natural water collection system captures rain, servicing the cabanas, restaurant, and caretaker’s unit. An additional small solar system provides electricity to the staff quarters when the generator is not in use.

The island features two newly renovated piers, one leading to the clubhouse, and wooden walkways winding through beautiful formations of mangroves, providing a sheltered oasis to the ecosystems. The crystal-clear calm waters surrounding the island offer lovely swimming areas, perfect for scuba diving, snorkeling, and world-class fishing, with vibrant coral reefs and marine life just waiting to be explored.

Opportunity exists to purchase a riverfront sister property consisting of a 2BR/1Bath Cottage and Guest Casita. The Cottage has a traditional Belizean feel with an open plan kitchen and living area, French-style windows and doors, and a large veranda. The ground floor includes a caretaker workshop and covered storage space, easily convertible into additional living quarters. The Guest Casita has an open plan studio concept with a kitchen, fitted closet, and tiled en-suite bathroom. Boat parking is available on the property.

The island’s proximity to the reef and mainland, with only a 20-minute boat ride to the Sittee River Bar mouth and Hopkins Village, makes this an ideal island dwelling. The island may be purchased alone or in tandem with the sister mainland riverfront property, renowned for its fishing and boating activities. Although currently a private retreat, the combination of the island and the mainland property presents the logistics for a business venture offering endless potential for creating an idyllic retreat or a thriving eco-resort in one of the most breathtaking regions.
