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, with Maya Mountain views visible from the home’s 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 another 2 acres allocated for the driveway and house lot. About 1 acre supports food gardens, growing crops such as bananas, plantains, pineapples, and young avocado trees. Additional crops, including coconuts and bananas, grow beyond the yard. A drainage ditch runs from the road into the jungle, remaining dry most of the year and becoming a seasonal creek after heavy rains, which can be heard from the deck. The rear portion of the property consists of two combined lots totaling 25.376 acres, featuring second-growth jungle. These lots measure 9.756 acres and 15.62 acres respectively and were formerly used for citrus but have been preserved for natural regeneration, providing wildlife habitat and long-term privacy. Approximately 70 to 80 mahogany trees were planted, with potential for 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. A 1,200 square foot screened deck surrounds the house, measuring ten feet wide, supporting outdoor living in all seasons. The house is fully surrounded by jungle trees with no neighboring homes overlooking the property. Over 100 bird species visit throughout the year, along with native and introduced plant species growing across the land. Howler monkeys also visit during wild fruit season. This off-grid home comes 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 serve the living areas, and the solar system includes sixteen panels, five batteries, and an 8 kW inverter. Two rainwater tanks supply household water, with an additional connection 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. A 20-foot sea container offers secure tool storage, while a roofed extension supports equipment and material storage.

This jungle property in Belize presents rare investment potential that combines off-grid comfort with productive land. It includes future timber value and preserved jungle, and is suitable for private residence, homesteading, or eco retreat development. The property is also ideal for long-term real estate investment, with direct highway access enhancing its appeal for resale and rental. This property is situated along one of Belize’s most scenic investment corridors.
