Riverfront Farmland for Sale in Orange Walk District, Belize – 51.73 Acres near Lamanai Mayan Ruins
Property Description
Own a versatile piece of the Belizean landscape with this premier agricultural investment. This 51.73-acre property features two strategic parcels (23.31 acres and 28.52 acres) separated by a future road (road reserve). Located in the fertile Indian Church area between Fireburn and the historic Lamanai Mayan Ruins, this land offers a rare combination of high-yield farming potential and stunning natural water features.
Exceptional Riverfront & Strategic Location
Parcel A (23.31 acres) boasts over 750 feet of direct frontage along the New River, providing a reliable water source and breathtaking views. The property sits just half a mile north of the New River Lagoon, one of Belize’s largest freshwater bodies. For those seeking tourism potential or a unique commute, the world-renowned Lamanai Mayan Ruin is a quick 1.6-mile boat ride away.
(Note that while the land survey typically borders the water to the 66-foot public reserve along the New River, a reserve appears to occupy a larger land mass in this specific area. This property maintains its direct riverfront status unless the Government of Belize has formally privatized that unusually large reserve area on the riverbank.)
Fertile Ground for Agriculture and Ranching
The topography consists of flat, undulating terrain characterized by immensely fertile soil. This region is a powerhouse for farming in Belize, perfectly suited for large-scale crops or cattle ranching. While the lush second-growth jungle provides a beautiful natural canopy, the land remains ready for development into a high-functioning homestead or commercial farm.
Infrastructure and Community Assets
The property benefits from its proximity to Shipyard (11–14 miles away), one of the most industrious traditional Mennonite communities in Northern Belize. Access to Shipyard’s specialized trades, equipment, and agricultural supplies provides a significant advantage to any landowner in the district.
The land is accessible via farm roads from Fireburn, with approximately 0.6 miles of grassy road currently awaiting final upgrades, ensuring a private and secluded atmosphere.
