Private Luxury Jungle Retreat

This Glamping hideaway or Glamorous Camping as some may know it, is located along the banks of the popular Barton Creek in the Cayo District.  The main property is 45 acres of land on a mountainside found in an abundance of towering and pristine hardwood forest and planted in several dozen local and exotic fruit trees.  Native hardwood trees such as sapodilla, cabbage bark, cedar, and mahogany are few of the many mature trees that create a natural canopy over all the structures and the deck.  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 in the Cayo District.  The neighboring properties are that of Mennonites who take pride in keeping their culture alive and living off the land.

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.

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 you additional revenue. 

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 5-minute drive away and is a perfect place for cave canoeing or swimming in cool and clear waters.  The property is 1.5 – 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.
