We recently posted a YouTube video showing a full drive through the residential subdivision of Grand Belizean Estates near Secret Beach, Belize. You can watch the video here. We also did a full drive-through of another popular Secret Beach neighborhood, Palmaya Woods.
As Secret Beach continues to be the hottest destination in all of Belize we are also seeing a big demand for homes and land in the area as well. One of the original and most popular neighborhoods of the area is Grand Belizean Estates. With tons of road access and affordable home lots, we are seeing a bunch of new homes being built, as well as a large number of parcels that are being prepped for construction.
So where exactly is Grand Belizean Estates? See the image of the map below. The area outlined in red is the Grand Belizean Estates subdivision. It is one of the bigger and most established subdivisions of the Secret Beach area and has a lot of homes that have been recently built, especially in comparison to the last couple of years.
Secret Beach is an off-grid community located just a few miles northwest of San Pedro Town. It is situated on the west side of Ambergris Caye and offers amazing warm clear waters and beautiful sunsets.
But it’s not just for beach-goers and vacationers. The residential neighborhoods just a mile or two from the waterfront are becoming very popular with those interested in having a home or vacation property as well as investors who want to take advantage of the high demand that Belize has for overnight rentals.
What’s unique about Secret Beach is that it is an entirely off-grid community that offers tiny homes, cabins, and off-grid casitas at affordable prices. The growing demand for eco-friendly nature-based travel and adventure makes Secret Beach the perfect place to capitalize on the future of how people travel and stay in Caribbean destinations like Belize.
As you watch the video driving around the Secret Beach area you can see all the new construction happening. The time is now to get started investing in Secret Beach. The best way to get started is by purchasing some land in the area. Home sites are very affordable and often come with seller financing. This will allow you to secure your land and then start planning your build.
When building your home you’ll want to work with a project manager or homebuilder who has experience building homes at Secret Beach. Building a home in a foreign country can be tricky and you’ll need to know what to look out for as you start the process.
Many people start to build their home only to find out later that what they thought they were getting, wasn’t at all the end product they received. This can happen anytime you build a home. But if you are not physically in the area or have construction experience in Belize, you might find out the hard way that there are differences to the process that you might not expect if you were in the United States or Canada, or elsewhere.
An experienced construction manager who understands how to build off-grid can help you make sure the process goes smoothly and stays on budget and on time. If you won’t be residing full-time in Belize, having someone on the ground is an invaluable resource.
