ACTIVE  Off-Grid Jungle Retreat on 35 Acres

Hummingbird Highway Property
St. Margaret, Belize

This 35-acre Belize property includes three contiguous lots sold together. It is located directly along the Hummingbird Highway in St. Margaret, Belize. Belmopan is approximately 25 minutes away, and Dangriga and the Caribbean Sea are about 40 minutes away. Surrounding hills and mountain ranges define this jungle property. Views of the Maya Mountains are visible from the deck. The location offers privacy, scenery, and easy highway access.

**The Property**
The front 10 acres provide highway frontage and a developed homesite, suitable for residential or homestead use. Approximately 2.5 acres are planted in coconut trees, with an additional 2 acres allocated for the driveway and house lot. About 1 acre supports food gardens with crops including bananas, plantains, pineapples, and young avocado trees. Additional coconuts, bananas, and mammy apples grow beyond the yard. A drainage ditch runs from the road into the jungle, remaining dry most of the year but becoming a seasonal creek after heavy rains, which can be heard from the deck.

The rear portion consists of two combined lots totaling 25.376 acres, featuring second-growth jungle. This land was formerly used for citrus and has been preserved for natural regeneration, providing wildlife habitat and long-term privacy. Approximately 70 to 80 mahogany trees were planted, which may reach harvest maturity within eight to ten years. Natural rock formations and small caves appear behind the home, creating a peaceful meditation setting.

**The Home**
The off-grid home offers 800 square feet of interior living space, with a 1,200 square foot screened deck surrounding the house. The house is fully surrounded by jungle trees, providing seclusion. Over 100 bird species visit throughout the year, along with native and introduced plant species. Howler monkeys can also be seen during wild fruit season. The home is fully equipped with major appliances that are approximately one year old, including a washer, dryer, gas stove, refrigerator, and freezer. The dryer and hot water system operate on gas, while other appliances run on solar electricity. Two air-conditioning units service the living areas, supported by a solar system that includes sixteen panels, five batteries, and an 8 kW inverter. Two rainwater tanks supply household water, and the property also connects to seasonal village water. The electrical system is housed in a concrete storage room, which also functions as a hurricane shelter.

The under-house area measures approximately 2,000 square feet, providing storage and covered vehicle parking, along with a 20-foot sea container for secure tool storage and a roofed extension for equipment and material storage.

**The Opportunity**
This Belize jungle property offers rare investment potential that combines off-grid comfort with productive land. It includes future timber value and preserved jungle, making it suitable for private residence, homesteading, or eco-retreat development. The direct highway access enhances resale and rental appeal, positioning the property along one of Belize’s most scenic investment corridors.
