Tropical Belize Beachfront from $59,000 

 Dear Pathfinder Reader,

Thought about Belize lately?

I have.

This little English-speaking Caribbean gem is tucked just under Mexico’s east coast behind the second-longest reef on the planet, making it an ideal scuba destination. The reef keeps the beaches smooth and inviting, and the hundreds of cayes, or islands, off the mainland are a treasure trove for explorers and island-hoppers.

Expats have been settling in beach homes and jungle bungalows throughout Belize for years. ( Belize’s up-country mountains, jungles, and rivers have a charm and attraction all their own for some adventurous souls.)

You’ve probably heard of Ambergris Caye.. a tiny fishing village that has now become a hub of tourist activity. Ambergris may be one of the few places in Central America where you can see a golf cart traffic jam. San Pedro, the main town on the island, is choked with them during high season.

Though not a huge country, there is definitely more to Belize than Ambergris--and much of it is still relatively undiscovered. One notable spot is the area around the northern town of Corozal, close to the border with Mexico. The coastline here is sculpted into large bays and inlets backed by flatland forests. Some of these picturesque bays just cry out for developments, where people looking for a tropical lifestyle can still find beachfront and beach-view lots at reasonable prices.

That’s why Cerros Sands is such a welcome addition to the area. Cerros Sands has recently come on the market with 130 beachfront, beach-view, and channel lots (suitable for mooring your own boat in front of your lot”). The lots average 0.25 acre apiece, and lie on the windward side of a sweeping bay where the breeze comes steadily onshore to keep down the tropical heat.

The master plan for Cerros Sands calls for two full-service resorts on the property, a marina (remember those channel lots?), an equestrian center, and a commercial/retail center.

Two additional things make Cerros Sands particularly appealing.

Firstly, Cerros Sands currently has 21 0.25-acre lots on offer – seven beachfront lots, seven beach-view lots, and seven channel lots –all asking under $92,000. In fact, there is a beach-view lot and beachfront lot in the mix right now for just $37,000 and $59,000 respectively. Channel lots start from just $49,000.

Secondly, financing is available at Cerros Sands at 50% down and 9.5% interest on the balance over seven years, with no early payoff penalty.

If you’re looking for tropical options off the beaten path, Cerros Sands still qualifies, and the prices are extremely reasonable. However, this could well be the project that puts Corozal and northern Belize on the map. It’s an early-in opportunity that may not last long.
