FOR SALE: IGUANA REEF INN ON CAYE CAULKER, FIRST TIME ON MARKET, ASKING US$3,750,000 First time being offered on the market, and successfully operated since 1998, this property represents a rare find. Located near the village center and at the water's edge, this demi-resort is thoughtfully designed and meticulously maintained and is truly a turnkey operation. Five (5) well-constructed buildings (totaling 13,000 sq. ft.) sit on this fully landscaped 1⁄2-acre site with 90 feet of beach front on Caye caulker's quiet west shore. Guest accommodations include eleven generously sized standard rooms and four oversized deluxe rooms all with queen size beds, private baths, air conditioning, verandas and quality furnishings and accessories. (February 28, 2008)

Additionally, there is a one bedroom manager's apartment with full kitchen and a usable loft space located central to the property. A very upscale third floor fully furnished two-bedroom, two-bath "owner's" condominium which features 13 ft. vaulted ceilings and a spacious wraparound veranda that proves spectacular sunset views, is also included onsite. The administrative building houses the office and lobby which connects to a spacious and tastefully decorated and well equipped full service bar. Additionally there is a deck area off the bar that sits under a large thatched palapa. A recently added (April 2007) 19,000 gallon designer swimming pool is located at the west boundary of the property near to the sea and boasts a tiled surrounding deck area for lounging. There is a clean, quiet and well groomed semi-private beach area in front of the hotel that provides both lounging and swimming opportunities. And for the anglers, there is always an opportunity to catch impressive size bonefish from shore directly in front of the hotel.

Infrastructural highlights include 40,000-gallon fresh water storage capacity as part of a well-engineered water distribution and management system. There are ample storage/utility rooms logically located and well-planned electrical and plumbing systems that ensure minimal and easy maintenance.This hotel set the standards for Caye Caulker when it first began operation back in 1998 and continues to do so nine years later through ongoing physical upgrades and enhancement of the services and guest amenities. It maintains a high percentage of repeat and referral business and an effective self-maintained internet presence. This is a rare opportunity to assume ownership of a well-established business in the growing tourism sector in this Belizean paradise.

Caye Caulker is situated in the Caribbean Sea 20 miles off the coast of the Belizean mainland and just a mile from Belize's barrier reef. The island is accessible by regularly scheduled water taxi and by two local airlines. The location is ideal for water based activities such as SCUBA diving, snorkeling, fishing, kayaking and windsurfing. The proximity to the mainland also provides easy day trip access to many mainland attractions such as the Belize Zoo or several Mayan archeological sites. Located just 4 miles south of Caye Caulker is Caye Chapel which boasts a championship 18-hole golf course.

Asking US$3,750,000. Contact Jim and Mario at Iguana Reef Inn, telephone: +501-226-0213, fax: +501-226-0087, email: iguanareef@yahoo.com (October 21, 2007, modified February 5, 2008 and March 15, 2008)

PREMIUM HOME SITES FOR SALE ON PLACENCIA PENINSULA, FROM US$109,000: Cocoplum Resort Community, a low-density 224-acre development on 4,500 feet of beach on the Placencia Peninsula in Belize, consists of 110 individual home sites averaging over 1⁄2 acre, a 20-acre parcel earmarked for a boutique resort and a 11 ½-acre site for luxury condominiums upon which construction is about to begin. The house lots on the beach, inner lagoon and waterways have all been surveyed; public and private roads paved; cable, electric and phones wires routed underground and public space has been landscaped. The master plan was developed in conjunction with EDSA of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and includes a marina and helicopter landing site. Over 50% of the acreage is set aside as green space reserve. Cocoplum is different from other developments in Belize and in the Caribbean. This project was conceived and created by Belizeans. The developer will be your neighbor: Cocoplum developer Stewart Krohn, of Great Belize Productions and Channel 5 TV, is building a house at Cocoplum, as is Katie Valk, sales representative. Cocoplum is not about front money, free cocktails, slick sales pitches or architectural drawings that never quite leave the board. 10 lots have been sold; two houses have been completed, two more are nearing completion and two others are set to begin construction.

About Belize: Belize is a premier destination for adventure and eco tourism, boasting the longest reef in the hemisphere with a wealth of marine life. Nearby on the mainland are verdant jungle and waterfalls, impressive ancient Maya sites, rivers, caves and an abundance of wildlife and activities. Belize is a multi-cultural democracy with English as our official language. About the Placencia Peninsula: Placencia boasts the best beach on mainland Belize. Its natural beauty and friendly laid-back ambiance lured hotelier/film director Francis Ford Coppola who built his award winning Turtle Inn a few miles down the beach from Cocoplum. Land values have steadily increased and reflect recent development and interest in this exciting area of the Caribbean on the cusp of discovery. Prices for waterfront parcels at Cocoplum range from US$109,000 to over US$400,000, a fraction of the cost of waterfront lots at many other Caribbean locations. Current price list and site plan available upon request.
