482 Acres of Paradise in Guanaja Island

482.66 acre property with infinite possibility, located in the heart of the island of Guanaja. Lush, tropical deciduous forest with 5000 feet of white sandy beachfront along azure tropical waters, the largest waterfall of the Bay Islands, year round stream, and thousands of tropical plant and animal species, some yet to be discovered. From summit to turquoise Caribbean seas, the verdant acreage presents an incredible opportunity. 

These 482.66 acres of uninterrupted greenspace have been protected and preserved by a sole owner for 27 years. The breadth and topological diversity of the property make it an attractive site for institutional-scale projects, a rehabilitation center, national park, world heritage site, university, research campus, upscale eco resort, or other philanthropic endeavors.

Solar power, freshwater on site, and other amenities make the home an ideal base for sustainable ecological development. The property features a 3 bedroom estate, a separate structure for researchers and guests, as well as various other structures necessary for island living, maintenance and on-site caretakers. Lovingly built and maintained, the main home is a unique gem with 3 bedrooms, a library, a great area and decks with spectacular hilltop sea views and exquisite vegetation. The property is home to many species, many yet to be identified.
