from our Belize eco-village!
Construction continues to rock with:
25 finished homes!
1 finished HOA office!
3 homes under construction!
- We now have almost 20 full/half time residents and a revolving door of vacationing residents and their friends and families!
- Better in Belize now has a defibrillator for the community and there is talk about getting a second one. Thanks to owners, Dr. Anello and his wife, Mari, a nurse, for the training they provided. Could be a lifesaver!
- Architectural plans are being finalized and submitted for the construction of the Community Center. They need to get the seal of approval from the Central Building Authority before opening up bids for construction. Upon selecting the bid, construction will commence. Hooray!
- Roads within the community had some interim work done and are in pretty good shape. A major road project including engineering for drainage is planned in the next year.
- The garden is producing a lot of bananas and avocados currently. The Garden Committee is focusing on perennial fruit and nut trees and plants for sustainability. The committee will be purchasing some short variety coconut palms to plant soon.
- A group of Better in Belize residents have started a new tradition with a nighttime float in a pontoon boat along Vaca Lake. Add this to your Bucket List! Stargaze in what astronomers call “the darkest skies in the world”. Enjoy moonshine in the jungle! No hangover the next day!
- If you’d like to book your visit to our magical Belize rainforest community, get in touch with us!

We can hardly contain ourselves!
Heavy metal has arrived at Better in Belize! No, it's not Iron Maiden or Metallica, but it is "Casa Metallica"!
At Better in Belize, alternative architecture is the name of the game.........and we're delighted to announce that owners from Louisiana are building the first Better in Belize container home. And with characteristic Louisiana spirit, they've named their metal abode "Casa Metallica".
Owners of Lot 47, Linda and Doug, brought us in the loop "The shipping containers will rest on top of steel plates that are welded to the tops of the columns. In total, we will have 8, 20 ft. containers. 6 will be for the house, 1 is for our cistern, which will have water bladders for rainwater collection. The last one will be our solar battery bank and storage. We have 5 of the 8 containers already, but we are still trying to find the last 3. When they get delivered, we will have a 150ft. boom crane to set them in place. The house will have 3 BR/1bath, kitchen, and living room."
If you'd like to follow in the footsteps of Doug and Linda and build a container home at Better in Belize, the suitable lots would be the Mayan Circle Lot #33 and Lot #48 and Lot #49. Lot 33, a 0.42-acre lot listed at US$36,000, has a great central location with some excavation already done on this lot. Lot 48 is a 0.72-acre lot listed at US$75,000. Lot 49 is a 1.04-acre lot listed at US$75,000. Both lots are designated as commercial lots, but could also be used for multi-unit construction (up to 6 individual units) or for individual residential use. You can reserve any of these lots with a US$500 refundable deposit. Get in touch with us for more info! |

Who needs a 7-Eleven in the neighborhood when you have
The Moh Family Mom-and-Pop Shop?
When hunger pangs hit, head out to Tienda El Campesino, a small "convenience store" 2 miles from Better in Belize. Operated as a mom-and-pop shop by Senor Nicolas Moh and his wife, Anita, their tienda is a handy place for visitors and residents to scoop booze and vittles. They sell basic groceries such as liquor, beer, soft drinks, cheese, cooking oil, eggs, bread, rice, sausages, and salsa casera. Convenient stop-off en route to our Belize eco-village if you forgot to pick up beer at Daisy's grocery store in Benque!
