Orange Walk District is also known as 'Sugar City' because of its sugar production, and it is home to the local Tower Hill Sugar Factory, which supplies sugar to the entire country of Belize and exports it as well. Aside from sugar production, the town has expanded into the cultivation of soybeans, onions, and papaya crops. Orange Walk is also famous for its cattle and rum production. The only toll bridge in the country is located at the town's entrance. Orange Walk is best known for its Mayan ruin, Lamanai, river tours, bird watching, and a large community of howler monkeys. Lamanai translates to 'submerged crocodile' and has one of the tallest buildings in the Mayan world (112 feet), with breathtaking and mesmerizing views from the top. Lamanai can be reached by both land and river, with the river being the preferred mode of transportation. Along the New River route, one can see a variety of flora and fauna, as well as many different species of birds and animals, the highlight being howler monkeys. The New River lagoon frontage on this parcel is 1200 feet. Except for an area near the river frontage that was cleared, and a plethora of fruit trees were planted, it is covered with tropical jungle, tall trees, and in its natural state. The area is limestone-based, with rich, fertile soil, and it does not flood during the rainy season since it drains quickly. This property is ideal for anyone interested in developing an eco-jungle lodge, fishing lodge, or offering river tours, as well as a variety of other commercial development opportunities for the area's thriving tourist industry, where competition is almost non-existent. This property can also be used as off-the-grid, self-sufficient farmland, cattle farm, or vacation retreat due to its rich and fertile soil, water frontage, and unique location. This 81.5-acre property is priced to sell and will not be on the market for long! Set up your viewing appointment today! (ref:22189)
