60.223 acres of fertile land, with approximately 17 acres planted in citrus, located approximately five miles off the Hummingbird Highway near Mile 32 next to Five Blues Lake National Park. The land measures approximately 1,233? along its eastern boundary, 2,077? along the northern boundary, 1,241? along the western boundary, and 2,050? along the southern boundary.
The property is accessible via an all-weather government road from the Hummingbird Highway. Travel to the property involves fording three streams, all of which are passable on a year-round basis. It is bounded on the north and west by the Five Blues Lake National Park. There is a creek along the west boundary and the east side is bordered by Indian Creek, a beautiful stream that has great potential for irrigation as well as residential and tourism development. Both creeks flow year round and provide several prime locations for bathing.
The citrus grove consists of 6-7 year old orange trees from Valencia rootstock which came into production three years ago. The owner has consistently provided appropriate fertilizer and other inputs so that the producing life of the grove is very promising. It should be noted that interplanting, possibly with mahogany trees, would be appropriate at this time given the current stage of development of the citrus.
Most of the remaining acreage has been cleared although some has returned to medium height bush in the ensuing period. Additional plantings have included a few mandarin orange and coconut trees. The terrain is generally flat and the soil is suitable for other crops such as corn and rice, especially in the damp soil in the vicinity of the second creek.
This part of the valley is populated by jaguars, panthers, tapirs and gibnut, in addition t60.223 acres of fertile land, with approximately 17 acres planted in citrus, located approximately five miles off the Hummingbird Highway near Mile 32 next to Five Blues Lake National Park.

This part of the valley is populated by jaguars, panthers, tapirs and gibnut, in addition to other small species and a great variety of birds. A number of Mayan artifacts have been found in the general vicinity of the property in recent years although the area has not been extensively explored and has yet been developed for tourism purposes. A large cave system with extensive ancient decorations is within a couple of miles of the property, but it has yet to become widely known. The adjacent Five Blues Lake National Park has many interesting, and relatively unexplored scenic and cultural sites. |
