Description

This property would definitely suit someone with creative/artistic leanings, particularly if you don't want the hassle of building from scratch - maybe you just want to pause whilst you settle into your new surroundings and new life.

The views are stunning and inspiring. Flocks of toucans and parrots fly around the house every day. We also have woodpeckers, melodic black birds, etc. roosting and making our garden their home along with the butterflies, dragonflies and the rest.
The area is quiet and many shy wild animals live just beyond the fence line, e.g. tapirs, ant-eaters, peccaries, etc. We have tried our best not to scare away the animals who have created a home here before us.

The House is on 2.6 acres of land with breathtaking views across the village, into the Belize River Valley and out to Spanish Lookout and beyond.

The house is on two levels: the upper house has a bedroom, bathroom, store-room kitchen and living area plus a huge semi-wrap-around veranda (total area of outdoor space of the veranda upstairs is approx. 736 SQ FT!) The upper house is made from tropical hardwood and is insulated - in fact the roof space is doubly insulated which keeps the house even cooler. Even the veranda has insulation and also a wooden ceiling to keep the area especially cool.

The lower part of the house is made of concrete and consists of:

Shower-room
Utility room (plumbed for washing machine, has sink and cupboards for extra storage)
Office
Workshop (with sink and cupboards and double doors for easy access)
Electricity room/storage
Pump room (storage and generator: please note: the house has been wired to enable it to be powered by generator in the event of a power cut - which is usually infrequent and for a very brief period)

Finding your Perfect Belize Home

As the old saying goes, real estate is all about location, location, location.  But, there is a lot more to it than just plain geography when it comes to finding your perfect home.  There are a lot of things to consider during the search because, for most, a home is the most significant purchase they will ever make.

Choose A Good Area

When searching for your perfect home, the obvious place to start is with the selection of a location.  If you have children, you may want to choose a home that is close to good schools and is also located in a family-oriented neighborhood.  Many people also look for a home that offers a short commute to and from work.  If you are shopping within a specific price range, you can also narrow the choices by finding an area that offers the best value for your dollar.

Select A Style

The perfect home for you is one that has all of the elements that you want.  Whether it's a garage, basement, extra bedroom or bath, a large kitchen, fireplace or open floor plan, choosing the style of home that you want is an important first step in finding the perfect place to hang your hat.  You may also want to consider whether you prefer a single-level or two-story home.  Many home buyers also factor in floor plans when searching for a house, including those that offer an open and flowing design.

Get Pre-Qualified 


Now that you know what you want and where you want it, it's important to find out how much of a home you can afford.  Pre-qualification is not the same as pre-approval.  With pre-qualification, your lender will request specific information relating to your income and expenditures and will offer a possible price range for you to keep in mind while shopping.  Pre-qualification does not guarantee that you will receive an approval, but it does give you a good indication of how much you can afford based on your current situation.

 

Talk To A REALTOR®

Nobody knows the real estate business like a REALTOR®, so let them help you in your search for the perfect home.  They can answer questions relating to the neighborhood, recent inspections on a particular home and any needed repairs.  Because a REALTOR® has access to a number of area homes, they have the ability to show you various choices within your preferred area and price range.

Ask About Amenities

One of the most significant concerns of any home buyer is what a home has to offer.  Utilities, such as water, sewer, cable, phone and electricity are just a few of the things to consider.  If the home is in a subdivision that requires the payment of association dues, how will these funds be used?  What amenities does the home owner's association offer?  These are all questions to ask your REALTOR® when shopping for the perfect home.

In conclusion, you should know that the search for your perfect home is a journey.  It may be either long or short and with or without some bumps along the way, but the greatest satisfaction will be at the journey's end and your future's beginning.
