There’s a version of life in Belize that doesn’t involve white sandy beaches and cocktails on a dock. It’s quieter than that, and for many people who end up staying, it turns out to be exactly what they were looking for. That version usually leads to Cayo.
This two-storey concrete home sits on the outskirts of Santa Elena, just across the river from San Ignacio. Close enough to reach downtown in minutes. Far enough that the lot still has breathing room and the mornings are genuinely quiet.
Downstairs, you’ll find a closed garage, a separate workshop, and a storage area.
A well-crafted Belizean hardwood staircase takes you to an open living and kitchen area, two large bedrooms, and two bathrooms. There are ceiling fans throughout, and split-unit air conditioners are in the living room and both bedrooms.
This well-maintained home comes fully furnished, with stainless steel appliances, a BBQ grill, and more. You just need to bring your bags!
The verandah is spacious and looks out over open land. You’ll see the open sky and distant hills, and hear the morning birds that no alarm clock can match. Mornings like these are why people visit Cayo and start thinking about moving here for good.
The fenced yard comes with lime, orange, soursop, dragonfruit, and plantain already producing.
Property tax: $110 USD a year. Most people need to hear that twice. For many buyers from the States or Canada, that number takes a minute to sink in.
Five minutes in any direction, you’ve got downtown San Ignacio, local markets, a private hospital, banks, hardware stores, and restaurants. Everything functions here, that’s not a given in every part of Belize, and it’s one of the quiet reasons Cayo keeps pulling people in.
Whether you’re moving here full-time, part-time, or looking for a space to work from home, this property is ready for you.
