45 Acre Jungle Glamping Retreat

Upper Barton Creek

Puza Moya – $1,125,000 USD

Have your home surrounded by tall green trees and a wealth of wildlife.  This property is turnkey with all equipment necessary to operate as a luxury tent destination. 

Named Puza Moya (drink the air): 44.52 acres of exclusive and secluded real estate, like no other.  Prime jungle, riverfront, and mountainside paradise as one.  With views of the valley, over 70 mature fruit trees, pristine water from a natural source, and 100% OFF GRID living are included for those transitioning to a sustainable and independent lifestyle.  This property is turnkey with all equipment necessary to operate as a luxury glamping destination. 

This property has been built and habituated as a single-family residence by the original owners and has been lovingly cared for since 2013 with over 5,000 ft2 of split-level decking and bridge-ways built of solid, indigenous hardwood, linking the tents (master bedroom 753 ft2, guest bedroom 300 ft2, living room with openable walls 323 ft2, lounge 430 ft2) and other structures built of indigenous hardwood (bathrooms, kitchen/laundry, BBQ/outdoor kitchen). 

This Glamping homestead can be converted into a Luxury Glamping Resort with plenty of room to expand with the continuation of tents or site-built structures, an excellent opportunity to bring additional revenue.

This is a place where residents and guests fall in love with nature and never want to leave.  It allows one not only to feel at home, but to be at peace with nature.  Be surrounded by tall green trees and a plethora of wildlife.  This could be the place you have dreamed of, immersed and living in a tranquil jungle setting and waking up to singing birds, coffee in hand, and a magical valley view.

 

Located along the banks of the quaint Barton Creek in the Cayo District.  This paradise is on a mountainside with an abundance of towering and pristine hardwood forests with many medicinal plants.  Native hardwood trees such as sapodilla, cabbage bark, cedar, and mahogany are a few of the many mature trees that create a natural canopy throughout the property.  It features over 780 feet of frontage on Barton Creek, a freshwater water river flowing from the Barton Creek Cave, a famous and well-visited tourist attraction. A Mayan cave with pottery and stone structures is found on the property.  The top of the property is flat with a tall dense jungle and ideal for further development. The neighboring properties are owned by ex-pats.

The property is located in Upper Barton Creek, a 30-minute drive from San Ignacio Town, a well-known tourist town that offers many amenities and conveniences.  The renowned Barton Creek Cave is just a 5-minute drive away and is a perfect place for cave canoeing or swimming in cool and clear waters.  The property is about a 2-hour drive to the Belize International Airport and a 15-minute flight on the local puddle jumper to San Pedro for scuba diving / snorkeling at the 2nd largest barrier reef in the world.
