Self-Sufficient, 20 Acre Organic Farm
This lush, remote 20 acre organic farm has 500ft frontage on the elevated banks of the crystal-clear, free-flowing, Mullins River, 5 miles above where it flows into the Caribbean Sea. This quiet, secure farm has been carefully planted and maintained for decades in the ancient Mayan tradition by one of Belize’s major organic farming authorities. Planted with hundreds of species of mature medicinal, ornamental, & edible herbs, trees, fruits, vegetables and food crops, it is on the edge of a large citrus orchard, in a secluded location 7 miles east of the dramatic Hummingbird Highway, but only 15 minutes from the closest store. All-season road access.
No chemicals have ever been used on this land; it is self-fertilizing with nitrogen-fixing ground cover; a very economical, sustainable Agroforestry system designed by professionals for low inputs & minimal maintenance. Income-producing plants include many heirloom & rare, useful species, and a wide variety of superior-quality nursery plants.
Subdivided as two 10-acre sections, this land includes a basic, solar-powered, elevated homestead made of hardwood and bamboo, with an open kitchen and natural oven, and a storage trailer. The property is gently elevated in the foothills (elev 115 ft) of the Maya Mountains, with giant hardwoods, huge groves of bamboo, tremendous views, and where a natural Caribbean breeze comes up from the sea during the day, and a cool evening breeze descends from the mountains above.
Surrounded by pristine high-canopy jungle on the south & west, on the banks of the Mullins River to the north, and overlooking citrus groves and the sea to the east, this is the perfect, self-sufficient, sustainable place to get back to nature. A famous waterfall is upstream a short hike, and fish are plentiful in this pure river. Ample rainfall provides good drinking and irrigation water. This property is off-grid, but within cell phone & internet coverage.
