Mile 14, Southern Highway,Stann Creek

Approximately 1,032 acres of uncleared pine ridge forest is available along the Southern Highway near Mile 15, south of Maya Center Village. Although not appropriate for citrus, this land is very suitable for other types of agricultural crops such as cashew, almonds, etc. and for the development of a hardwood plantation. The land is also suitable for eco-tourism development and for conservation activities. It is part of a corridor used by wildlife traveling from the Maya Mountains to the Caribbean Sea.

This property includes extensive frontage on the Southern Highway, the primary road leading to the southern part of the country. Electricity is available along the highway. This is a part of the original Hughes Estate and extends from the Southern Highway westerly into the foothills of the Maya Mountains. Three other sizeable adjoining properties are also available which provide a number of opportunities for creative development.

Dangriga, the largest town in southern Belize, is about 21 miles northeast; Belmopan City, the nation’s capital is approximately 63 miles distant and Belize City 113 miles. The property is close to the Cockscomb Wildlife Refuge and about 13 miles from the Bocawaina-Mayflower National Park. Please refer to www.stanncreek.com for further information on this part of Belize.
