1.26 Acre Pristine Riverside on Barton Creek w/Road Access
Why invest in someone else’s dream, when you can build and create your very own personal vision of paradise?
Just upstream from the Barton Creek Bridge, in the Floral Park area of Cayo District, is a charming little gem of hidden river land, where the discriminating buyer will find no other property with which it can compare. This slightly rolling pastureland has rich, fertile soil, ideal for ornamentals and fruit trees, and even contains the ruins of a tiny Mayan house mound. The parcel features a construction-ready, graded and leveled building pad of compacted white marl for a future house site, allowing for a generous deck overlooking the waterfront. With high bush along the eastern creek-side and southern property line, and under the dappled shade along the west, the entire parcel is grassy, and free of impediments. No logs, sticks, stumps, boulders, or rocks hinder easy maintenance by bush hog.
While some properties may flood in rainy season, and become waterless in the dry, this particular plot of land is free from river-related seasonal extremes. In the wet, it is well-above the highest flood-level ever known. And, during the dry, Barton Creek has been a proven, reliable water source since the dawn of history. A water pump could be installed along the bank, providing for all household needs, with abundant water for plumbing and irrigation. The creek is perfect for wandering, wading, soaking, appreciating nature, and cooling off in the midday heat.
About four miles upstream, this remarkable river flows right out of the base of a mountain. Fed by the uplands of the Mountain Pine Ridge, the waters filter through ancient seabed, until they surge forth from the mouth of the awe-inspiring Barton Creek Cave – one of the most legendary landmarks in the country.
The property is suitable for perimeter fencing, with an entry gate at the top of the slightly ascending western slope. There, it connects to a short, all-weather access road to the George Price Highway, where residents can easily tap into city electric, cable TV, and high-speed internet. San Ignacio is only 10 miles to the west, only 15 miles east to Belmopan, and beyond that, just another 45 miles to Belize City.
Already a difficult task to describe the physical beauty of this place, there are no words to portray its magic. In the morning, there is the vibrant symphony of birdsong, as you sit on the riverbank in solitary meditation. With the rustling of leaves, and chattering of parrots overhead, you can smell the fragrance of the earth, and watch the rays of sunlight playing on the surface of the river, as you ponder the history and wonder of this ancient land.
