A thoughtfully designed guest house/personal residence located just steps from the beach in Seine Bight Village on the Placencia Peninsula. Built in 2013 by highly regarded builder Martin Galvez and engineered for exceptional strength, this home combines durable construction, full accessibility, and flexible living space in one of the peninsula’s most vibrant communities and on the doorstep to popular amenities and the Caribbean Sea!
The home features 1800 square feet of conditioned space and over 3000 square feet of exterior living. The structure is stabilized by sixteen 14-inch reinforced concrete piles extending 40 feet into the ground, an oversized and highly durable foundation system. The entire property is enclosed with a perimeter wall and gate. The property is ADA compliant, with accessible entries and bathrooms and an elevator serving the ground floor, main residence, and rooftop terrace.
The ground floor is beautifully landscape with fruit trees, flowers and the tropical foliage that Belize is famous for. There’s a self-contained one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment with its own electrical meter, offering flexibility for guest accommodations or rental income. The level contains approximately 600 sq ft of interior space and 1,000 sq ft of exterior covered living area. There is a fantastic screen porch with outdoor dining space, perfect for enjoying the gardens.
The main residence occupies the second level and contains approximately 1,200 sq ft of interior living space plus a 400 sq ft shaded veranda facing the sea. The layout includes a large open concept living area with dining area and kitchen, along with two bedrooms connected by an ADA-compliant bathroom. The primary bedroom opens directly onto the veranda. A laundry room with half bath, pantry, and additional storage space is also located on this level. The design is timeless and offers exceptional elements – high ceilings, lots of windows and walk-outs for beautiful light throughout. The home features high-end Guatemalan windows and doors installed throughout. Custom iron banisters and steel doors were fabricated and installed by Martin Galvez.
The rooftop terrace spans roughly 1,600 sq ft and is one of the highlights of the property. A shaded pergola seating area surrounds a custom jacuzzi with waterfall feature, creating an ideal space for entertaining, stargazing, or enjoying sunrise and sunset views. The engineer built the home to hold a completed and roofed 3rd storey – so the expansion opportunities are numerous.
