90% CLEARED| ONCE PRODUCING CITRUS FARM
Now is the time to buy Real Estate in Belize! This is truly an amazing opportunity to own an almost fully cleared large track of land!
Located .59 miles off the Coastal Road Highway, this 207 acre once high incoming producing citrus farm sits directly across from Paradise Shrimp Farm. On the edge of on an all-weather road, this great investment property is only five (5) miles north of the Hummingbird Highway and the Village of Hope Creek. Dangriga Town lies to the west of the property and the Municipal Airport is located only 10 miles away.
In addition to its great location, this unique piece of Belize Real Estate comes planted with 180 acres of Cleopatra Mandarin orange grafted on Sour Orange root-stock with 27 acres partially developed. The 27 acres is covered with secondary vegetation, pine trees and bearing mango trees.
A great feature of this property is that it is well-maintained and well-drained. Trees are planted at approximately 115 trees per acre and the grove manager carries out regular weed and pest control measures. The entire farm boasts approximately 12,500 (+/- 100) standing trees among all the blocks. Replanting or diversification is relatively easy because the property is divided into nine (9) blocks. The soil is perfect for any agriculture venture with excellent pH and good Cation Exchange Capacity. Most importantly, the road network throughout the farm makes connecting to the various blocks seamless. This farm once produced 58,000 boxes of oranges per year less than eight (8) years ago. The average production from 2012-2018 was approximately 23, 300 boxes of fruit. The trees will need some level of rehabilitation to start producing well again.
This property would be excellent for a high-end residential development or for diversification into other agricultural crops. Since this property is almost fully cleared, replanting coconuts, hemp or pineapple would be great ventures to explore. With the almost newly built Coastal Highway passing almost in front of this property, getting to and from this property will be fast and easy.
In addition, a quaint 400 sq. ft. wooden homestead serves as comfortable accommodation for farmers working during maintenance and reaping times. On a clear day, the Caribbean Sea is visible from the homestead.
