Full Description: Only 5.25 miles NW of San Pedro Town Belize, or 20 minutes by boat, Cayo Rosario is a pristine private island paradise located just off the west coast of Ambergris Caye. Cayo Rosario is one f the most desirable private islands in all of Belize, and features a unique 1-1/2 mile long sand bar off its southern tip. When you arrive at the dock on the west coast, you are immediately taken in by the lush mature vegetation and pristine, clear turquoise waters surrounding the island.


Cayo Rosario offers almost 3,000 feet of beach frontage, and is close enough to the amenities and services of San Pedro Town to be an excellent development site for a private enclave of villas or a luxury boutique resort/hotel.
The island is naturally high and dry around it s perimeter, and ideally suited for a small interior lake or lagoon to be excavated. Otherwise, with a minimal amount of fill, the entirety of the island can be brought to building grade. This 10 acre island is dotted with towering coconut palm trees, black and red mangrove trees, and plays host to a wide variety of tropical birds. Whether you are looking to develop a boutique resort or hotel property, an eco-resort, corporate retreat, or private island estate, or enclave of villas, Cayo Rosario has a great deal to offer and should make the short list of private island properties for consideration of any of these scenarios.. Private tours of the island are available by boat, plane or helicopter for qualified buyers.


Cayo Rosario is located just 1.7 miles from road access to San Pedro Town on the west coast of Ambergris Caye, and just 5 miles from world-renowned celebrity retreat, Cayo Espanto. World-class diving, snorkeling, fly fishing and deep sea fishing are located close-by with multiple dive sites located within 20-30 minutes by boat. Recent changes in construction regulations now allow for over-water bungalow construction in Belize, so this island may be ideal for overwater private villas or suites. Please contact listing agent for a copy of the Department of Environment Overwater Construction regulations.

In 2005, my wife Lucinda and I, along with our three children - Trent (14), Christina (10), and Lauren (6), started our great Caribbean adventure by moving from the mountains of Colorado to the beaches of San Pedro Belize.

We told ourselves we would give our Caribbean adventure a year or two to play itself out but within 6 months we all decided that this is "home" and there was nothing temporary about that feeling. I can think of no better place for a family to raise children and enjoy a wonderful quality of life. We love to visit our 2nd home in Colorado, but Ambergris Caye is "Home, Sweet, Home".

My real estate career spans 19 years of experience in residential and commercial real estate, both domestic and international as well as professional property management. In addition I have a broad range of experience in restaurant management, hotel management, and luxury resort management in Colorado, Maine, and Belize.

I have owned and operated both franchise, and independent, real estate companies in the US and Belize, prior to founding RE/MAX Island Rea Estate in San Pedro, Belize.

I am an active real estate investor and real estate developer in Ambergris Caye, and would be happy to provide my consulting services for your real estate investment and development needs.

My specialty is in working with HNWI's (High Net Worth Individuals) interested in the three-fold objectives of asset protection/relocation, wealth preservation, and tax optimization.

My 6 years of experience have given me on-the-ground knowledge of Belizean culture, people, politics, ethics, laws, banking taxes, networking, and all aspects of property investment, financing, development, management and sales/marketing.

Let me put my experience and expertise to work for you.
