Jungle luxury eco-estate near Placencia Peninsula, Belize - Birders Paradise

Instead of staying on the crowded Placencia peninsula, enjoy your own private 4 bdrm 77 acre solar-powered estate just a few miles away. Great base to explore the peninsula and its beaches, Hopkins, all of southern Belize. Ideal for large families/small groups.

The pool area is heavenly! Huge deck with cabana and barbecue. The night lighting is spectacular!

Wander through our 20 acre organic exotic fruit garden (293 varieties of exotic fruit) and 50+ acre rainforest habitat (250+ species of exotic birds). Fantastic birding!

Splash in our creek, only 15 min walk from the house.

The space:
Luxurious three bedrooms upstairs (king & two queen beds) with a downstairs unit (king bed). Private elevated plunge pool and huge deck with cabana!

The house was fully renovated in late 2023. All new furniture and appliances!

The large upstairs living, dining and kitchen area has a magnificent cathedral ceiling. The fully equipped kitchen has an island with beautiful quartz counter tops. Ten person dining room table. Washer/drier room.

A sliding door connects the living/dining area to a huge walk-out balcony with pick-nick table from where you have a marvelous view of a big garden, the fruit trees, the Mayan mountains, and fabulous sunsets. A short flight of stairs leads direct to the pool, deck and fountain.

Watch the parrots, toucans and other exotic birds direct from your deck! If you wake up early morning and just lie in bed, most days you will be treated to a beautiful avian concert!

Amazing stargazing on a clear night!

The entire house, including air conditioners, is powered by our solar system.

The house is decorated with the best original Belizean art (Anton Leslie, Ernesto Gomez, Sami).

Furniture is handmade from solid mahogany, rosewood or other local hardwoods.

Our farm manager and his wife, who live in a separate house 4 minutes walk away, are also on standby to make your stay as enjoyable as possible, and yet far enough to give you a sense of total privacy!

One of the best birders in Belize is available to provide birding tours within our own private rainforest (extra but reasonable charges apply).

Guests will have access to the entire main building with the exception of two small storage areas.

We are happy to provide you with a free tour of the all-organic fruit farm and/or the rainforest.

We highly recommend that you rent a car (we can get you in touch with rental car companies). Note: there is no shopping within walking distance.

Our location provides a fantastic base of operations from which to explore southern Belize. We are a 25 minutes’ drive to gorgeous beaches and less than one hour drive to the resort towns of Placencia and Hopkins. These are easy day trips or half day trips! Within a one-hour drive you will also find horseback riding, scuba diving, snorkelling, bowling, zip-lining, tubing, etc. We have also arranged access for our guests to a seaside resort only 25-minute drive away, with an expansive sandy beach, with a bar, and beach chairs.

The property was spotless and pictures were exactly as shown online. The owner is very helpful and communicative as well as the farm manager. Hands down would stay again.
