Monarch Caye is the only true turn-key private island estate for sale in all of Belize, and the motivated seller has just reduced it to only US $2,000,000. This beautiful six-acre private island offers that perfect tropical estate with white sands, swaying palms, and vibrantly-colored plants and wildlife.

The private island is also known as Hatchet Caye. It's currently used as a vacation rental and is registered with the Belizean government as a Licensed Hotel and Restaurant. So you could move right in and use it as a private estate, keep it as a private island rental, or even expand into a larger resort operation. Private Islands Inc. is offering two years of rental promotion to aid the successful purchaser in gaining international exposure for their venture.

Monarch Caye comfortably accommodates eight couples with their own private rooms and Cabanas. The island is fully staffed with a manager/boat captain, maid and gardeners to serve the guest's needs and care for the island.

This private island is located 18 miles (about a forty-minute boat ride) off the southern coast of Belize and the town of Placencia. Located less that one mile from the Belize barrier reef, Monarch Caye is right in the middle of the underwater action. Many local dive and snorkel tours bring their guests here! Often times, sailboats anchor off shore for the evening due to the nearby protected anchorage.

Monarch Caye is perfect for the sailing enthusiast, SCUBA diver, and fisherman looking for a private island vacation home that also doubles as a fantastic investment that can pay for itself. Though currently operated as a private estate rental, there are several locations on the island suitable for expansion to accommodate larger groups and specialty vacationers.

There are currently four full-time staff members that reside on the island to serve the guests and take care of the property. The number of staff members is increased as needed during periods of high occupancy.

Included in the sale are two boats that service the island and its guests. The large boat is 30 feet with two, 100 hp engines. The smaller boat is 19 feet with a single 85 hp engine. Both boats are in terrific operating condition and the small boat has just been given a new paint job.

Vegetable and herb gardens produce some of the food used on the island.

Electricity is currently provided by a 35kw diesel generator. The generator is only three years old and running well. 66 deep-cycle marine batteries and 4 new inverters provide 120-volt power to the house and the cabanas.

Water is produced by a reverse osmosis desalination system with a 5000-gallon storage tank. The system was recently replaced and creates great tasting, fresh water.

Staying in touch is easy with the satellite system. Both high-speed internet and all the TV channels you're used to at home are available on the island.

There are two docks on the island. The main dock is located on the western side of the island and has approximately 6 feet of depth at the end. The other dock, on the eastern side, has upwards of 20 feet of depth right at the dock due to its location at the edge of the reef.

The entrance through the reef surrounding the island is roughly 25 wide and 25 deep which allows ease of access by most large boats.

Monarch Caye will comfortably accommodate up to eight couples in their own private rooms or Cabanas located around the island.

The cottage is connected to the other buildings by a brick pathway that weaves its way through the lush gardens of the island. A new dock was recently installed near the Honeymoon Cottage. The dock is approximately 125 feet long and extends over the coral reef to the deep water, allowing for docking of larger vessels and great fishing right off the end!
