Steppingstones was built by us in 2004/5, and is located on a velvet beach about half a mile by boat from Monkey River Village, Toledo, in the beautiful and unspoilt south of Belize. It is about half an hour from Placencia by boat, an hour and a quarter to Placencia by road, and about half an hour by road to the nearest small town, Independence.

Steppingstones is a uniquely adaptable property, this tranquil home comes complete with furnishings, appliances, and much more. It consist of our two bedroom, two and a half bathroom house, our two cabana resort/family apartments, a staff house suitable for a couple, and outbuildings, set on 3/4 of an acre of beautiful unspoilt sandy beach with light jungle behind. We have cleared an additional two acres of national land behind the property for our use, this is laid to lawn and trees creating a tranquil green setting and attracting many birds.

Secluded yet not remote, Steppingstones is what everyone dreams about - a true island style home on the beach. Unlike many parts of Belize, Toledo does not suffer from overdevelopment. We are located on a beach of around a mile, and there are just three homes evenly spaced on that beach, ours being the middle one. Yet we are within easy reach of decent amenities and we have all the comforts of life, including reliable 24/7 solar power with generator back up, internet via local telephone company and much more.

This is sold as a turnkey operation - walk in today, start living tomorrow. Details of what is included in the price include a vintage Sunfish dinghy, fishing kayaks, pedallos, complete solar power system, backup generator, phone, solar hot water system, all major kitchen appliances, complete furnishings for the house and two cabanas, and much more.

This is an ideal place for a couple who want to retire but still have a hobby income. It would also make a superb project for anyone who wanted to build a good income generating business and at the same time have a wonderful lifestyle. The fishing is great, so it makes a great fishing lodge - which is what we did for several years - but many people come just for the get away from it all atmosphere. Or, it's small enough to use just as a home and keep the cabanas for visiting family and friends, or even convert it to another house or offices for an internet business.


We took a very relaxed approach to the rental business, it could be developed a great deal, for example, by getting listings in the guides, by having a blog, by advertising and so on. We netted approximately US$700 to $1100 per cabana per week, depending on season and how many extras such as fishing, adventure trips, drinks, meals etc guests opt for. We have in fact now retired from the commercial rental business and have moved inland to run a small farm which we own. The property is being looked after currently by our husband and wife handyman team and by medium term renters.
