Eco Investment Properties in Belize

Escape the cold English summer to a paradise property in Belize. Property Frontiers have now made it possible to invest in ½ acre land plots clustered around a boutique hotel at the heart of the spectacular Belizean rainforest for just £24,950. For a limited number of purchases, the developer is offering 50% finance over 5 years meaning investments can be made with an initial outlay of just £12,475. This is a low risk chance to make a solid, ecologically friendly investment in an emerging market where gains of up to 60% are expected on land plots over the next 18 months.

Legal and parliamentary systems similar to those in the UK make the purchase process for land investment in Belize relatively straightforward and this, coupled with arguably one of the world’s most appealing retirement packages, means this is a country popular amongst property investors. Retirement scheme members are free to import their car and belongings duty free and are exempt from income tax on income sourced in or outside of the country. Anyone at least 45 years old from anywhere in the world can qualify for the program as long as they have an income of at least 1000 US dollars a month. Successful applicants can then include his or her dependents in the program. Supported by a healthy economy which sees steady annual GDP growth, Belize also enjoys sustained foreign direct investment rising by 134% between 2002 and 2006.

Under a canopy of lush green trees, Belize Reserve immerses you into a jungle habitat like no other. This unique eco-community is completely self-sufficient running solely from on-site solar and hydro power and using an anaerobic bacteria sewerage system. Currently available for just £24,950, these plots are expected to appreciate in value by up to 60% within the next 18months and can be built on at a cost price.

All properties in the Reserve will be built from locally sourced wood in an environmentally sensitive fashion. Bordering the Tapir Mountain Nature Reserve, much of the land will remain protected so that the rich biodiversity is preserved. Awarded an ‘excellent’ kite mark by What Green Home Belize Reserve was rated on its carbon emissions, waste levels, sustainable water supply, local and sustainable building materials as well as sustainable transport.
