A great Investment Island property boasting of 603 acre situated some 14 miles North West from San Pedro Town, Ambergris Caye! The Island is clearly undeveloped but it is a blank slate ready for your vision, your dreams to become a master planned reality! The island has great potential for development as it sits directly 3 miles north from Blackadore Caye which is owned by Leonardo Dicaprio. Blackadore Caye has already submitted Environmental Impact Assessment and appears that the project will move forward as Luxury Resort Development! The closest point to Ambergris Caye is about 1.5 miles from the Island, but San Pedro Town is approximately some 14 miles away. The Great Barrier Reef is approximately 12 miles from the island and is accessed through an international border waterway divides Belize and Mexico. There has been rumours for years about building a road that connects Ambergris Caye to Mexico for some time, and if this would take place the island would be within close proximity to capture tourism in the area. Below is an assessment and information on the island. Any questions, please feel free to contact us! Make an offer! Island Rapid Assessment A rapid assessment was conducted of Caye/Island on 9th May, 2009. A series of 8 survey sites were selected to ensure representation of the ecosystems of the Caye. Survey Sites Ecosystems The rapid assessment of the flora of Caye/Island demonstrated that a mosaic of five inter‐related Ecosystems (or components thereof) occur on the island, their distribution being defined largely by micro‐topography, water regime, and salt load. These include: ???? Coastal fringe Rhizophora mangle‐dominated forest, ???? Littoral forest and beach communities, ???? Mixed mangrove scrub, ???? Dwarf mangrove scrub, ???? Marine salt marsh with many succulent species. The extent of theses ecosystems varies considerably on the Caye/Island, and distinctions amongst them are at times somewhat arbitrary: the marine salt marsh system here could also be considered as a sub‐category of the mixed mangrove scrub. For clarity, the distinctions of the Central American Ecosystems Map: Belize are followed here – with the detail provided by the rapid site survey. A sixth ecosystem, tropical semi‐deciduous lowland broadleaf forest, is identified (from aerial photos) as occurring in a central portion of the island (south of the creek that was assessed), but not accessed in this survey. Coastal fringe Rhizophora mangle‐dominated forest occurs in relatively short sections of the shoreline of the island complex, both on the sandier east‐facing shorelines, and along the coastal mudflats that occur along much of the western‐facing shoreline. It occurs in a very narrow band along the shore, with the characteristic stilt roots of the red mangrove stretching out into the sea. On the Caye/Island, this vegetation type typically has a canopy height of 2‐4 metres. Littoral forest and beach communities occurs in narrow stands on the higher sandier coastal strands of Caye/Island, predominantly along the eastern shorelines, but with small tracts also along parts of the western‐facing beaches. It is characterized here by the presence of saltwater palmetto palms, sapote, spiny bullet‐wood, black poisonwood, seagrape, and Jaquinia. Other plant species observed here include zericote, cow‐horn orchid, airplants, redfowl, bastard
