Preservation Through Visionary Development
We do not see this simply as 10,478 acres of land waiting to be developed. We see it as an opportunity to demonstrate that development and preservation do not have to be opposing ideas. The property's enormous scale allows room for thoughtfully planned residential, hospitality, recreational, conservation and ecotourism concepts while preserving vast portions of the rainforest, wetlands and wildlife habitat that make the property irreplaceable.
Resort Development
Dale Coastal Rainforest Ranch offers a rare opportunity for a luxury resort, marina, or eco-tourism destination across more than 10,478 acres of rainforest, wetlands, lagoons, and Caribbean coastline. Positioned directly across from San Pedro and Ambergris Caye, the property could support private boat access, island transfers, fishing and marine activities, while also offering jungle excursions, wildlife viewing, and secluded eco-lodging—all within one extraordinary destination.
Wildlife & Exploration
For sportsmen and outdoor enthusiasts, Belize also has a longstanding hunting tradition centered around regulated native game species. Legal game species include white-tailed deer, red brocket deer, collared peccary, white-lipped peccary, gibnut — also known as paca — armadillo and green iguana, along with game birds including chachalaca, crested guan, great curassow, black-throated bobwhite, blue-winged teal, lesser scaup, and ocellated turkey, a unique species of turkey special to Belize. Hundreds of other resident and migratory birds associated with northern Belize, further add to the property's remarkable natural character.
World-Class Fishing
The ranch's marine and freshwater environments create an equally compelling opportunity for anglers. Along its Caribbean frontage, nearshore waters and mangrove-lined coastal habitats can support a variety of prized game fish found in northern Belize, including tarpon, snook, permit, bonefish, jack crevalle, barracuda, snapper, grouper and jacks, while the surrounding flats, channels, lagoons and estuarine areas provide habitat for seasonal and resident species. The property is especially distinctive because it contains landlocked tarpon in its inland ponds and connected wetland systems — a rare and remarkable fishing resource that allows anglers to pursue one of the Caribbean's most iconic game fish away from the open sea. Combined with direct Caribbean access, sheltered mangrove habitat and inland freshwater systems, Dale Coastal Rainforest Ranch offers the unusual possibility of pursuing both coastal saltwater species and landlocked tarpon within one privately held wilderness property.
Biodiversity & Habitat
That diversity creates habitat for an extraordinary range of wildlife. Our land projects approximately 260 species of birds in the area and identifies wildlife including black howler monkeys, coatis, four-eyed opossums, tropical porcupines, Central American grey squirrels, agoutis, tayras, prehensile-tailed anteaters, red-eyed tree frogs, Blue Morpho butterflies, and Baird's tapir, Belize's national animal.
Marina Development
With 9.63 walking miles of Caribbean coastline and a strategic position directly across from San Pedro and Ambergris Caye, Dale Coastal Rainforest Ranch offers compelling potential for marina development. A future marina could support private vessels, yacht access, island transfers, fishing charters, excursions, and resort transportation, creating a valuable mainland connection to one of Belize’s most popular tourism destinations while opening the door to broader coastal and hospitality development.
