Basics

Description

  • Description:

    Discover a prime 217-acre agricultural investment located just 150 km (90 miles) south of the Belize International Airport and 20 km (12 miles) south of Dangriga Regional Airport. The nearest community, Silk Grass Village, lies only 7 km (4 miles) from the property.

    This exceptional farm features well-drained, fertile Mayflower mountain run-off soil and year-round access via government-maintained dirt roads.

    Property Overview

    • Total Area: 217 acres
    • Teak Plantation: Approximately 180 acres planted with 80,000 teak trees
    • Tree Age: 14–15 years
    • Average Height: 25 meters (80+ feet)
    • Average Diameter: 20 cm (8+ inches)
    • Maintenance: Professionally pruned, pre-commercially thinned, and fertilized with nitrogen amendments

    Once harvested, the existing teak stumps naturally regenerate — eliminating the need for replanting.

    Infrastructure

    • Two-story metal custodian house and storage building
    • Diesel generator for reliable power
    • Freshwater well
    • Well-maintained interior access roads throughout the property

    Revenue Potential

    Growth and performance metrics align with high-quality teak plantations found in Costa Rica, demonstrating impressive growth rates and timber volume.

    • Projected Net Present Value: Approximately US$2.68 million (based on targeted thinning and final harvest at 25 years)
    • Market Pricing (Current Estimates):
      • US$500 per cubic meter for 20–25-year-old trees
      • US$250 per cubic meter for 12–20-year-old thinning harvests
    • Expected Returns: Real annual returns of 8%+, excluding land appreciation and residual timber value

    The plantation will self-regenerate after each harvest, further enhancing long-term profitability.

    Export Market Access

    The property offers direct logistical access to two major deep-water ports:

    • Belize City Port – 60 km
    • Big Creek Port – 60 km

    These strategic locations provide efficient export routes to key international markets including India, China, Europe, the United States, and Southeast Asia.

    List Price: US$1.9 million
