Sanctuary Belize - Responsible Development
Sanctuary Belize was developed in a collaborative partnership with the Sittee River Wildlife Reserve. In creating it, its developers wanted to make the dream of property ownership in a Caribbean paradise within reach of everyone.
The developers of Sanctuary Belize are committed to building their community responsibly and with respect for its surrounding environment. The Sanctuary is on 14,000 acres of land bordering a 110,000 acre wildlife preserve. Only four thousand of those acres have been designated for developing, while the rest is protected. Developers are actively partnering with architects, designers and builders who use green technology strategies.
Sanctuary Belize property includes the nine mile Sittee River Wildlife Reserve, a 2,000-acre tropical savannah, and a 10,000-acre rainforest. There is a 250-slip deep water marina, and just offshore from the Sanctuary is the Belize Barrier Reef, the second largest barrier reef in the world, and the largest in the Western Hemisphere. Also just offshore is a five-acre private island.
The mission of Sanctuary Belize is to offer homes and home sites that are as beautiful as the surrounding environment in which they were built. It is an environment that enhances the quality of life for those who live there, and generates a return on their investment while at the same time leaving only a small footprint. Belize is fast becoming one of the most desirable and sought-after investment opportunities in the Caribbean, where infrastructure and growth plans are approved and in full swing. Sanctuary Belize is accessible and responsive, and able to manage the needs and concerns of its clients. Its sales and customer service offices are located in California.
Sanctuary Belize - Natural Wonders
Sanctuary Belize is a new community springing up along the southeastern coast of the Central American country. Many experts say this is a great time for investing in property there. The country is a great place for Americans. English is the native language, and Belize has a legal system that is much like the British system that created it. It is politically stable, and foreign nationals have the same land ownership rights as do natural-born Belize citizens.
While Belize is a small country it has a wide variety of ecosystems. Sanctuary Belize, the world’s only five ecosystem development, is on 14,000 acres of forest and river, rainforest and coastline, all bordering a 110,000-acre wildlife preserve. The marine ecosystem of Belize includes open ocean and coral reefs, and sea grass beds. Along the coastline are pristine beaches, mangroves, coastal savannahs, and wetlands. In its interior you will find broadleaf rainforests and pine forests. The country is also dotted with numerous lakes, and many streams and rivers snake through the interiors.
The first known civilizations to live in the area where Sanctuary Belize now resides were the Mayans. They Mayans used the country’s ecosystems to produce a wide variety of subsistence and luxury goods for local and regional use, including corn, beans, squash, salt, salted fish, honey, oils, flint tools, grinding stones, paints, dyes, tobacco, textiles, and more. The Mayans traded many of these goods, and their cities in Belize were some of the richest in the region.
Today, the master plan for Sanctuary Belize includes the completion of a 250-slip deep water marina, a hospital, community meeting houses, a resort hotel, and a casino.
