This topic has been discussed ever since I've been on reading it. Most people are giving you there own experience. I know Dane's house and it is very nice I also know how much was done by Dane. I built a house on the North island of Caye Caulker and my house cost considerably more.Of course I also have a wind turbine, solar panels and batteries. Adds to my cost. People living up in San Pedro have different costs Some much higher than even the $125 per square foot. You can buy a Mennonite house for $10,000 or spend $4 million big range. Everyone sets their own comfort level of how they want to live. You should come down and talk to builders here and then show everyone what a great house you can build. San Pedro and Caye Caulker have a wide range of housing you have to decide how much you can afford. Good luck in your quest.
