AmbergrisCaye.com Home Forums The Cayes Environment Grand Belizean Estates, Too Good to be True

David Mitchell had his dredge next to San Mateo for months. He pumped all the sand across to Costa Del Sol. Now the residents of San Mateo are struggling with their area and how to fill. Mr. Mitchell should be held liable. He should have to fill the entire area of San Mateo with all of the money he is making from GBE and Sugar Caye.

Ambergris Cayes 'Platinum Coast'!! accessible by road!!
This makes me laugh a little but then I remember what a #!&% hole their creating on the island.
Now you can own your very own lot (60' x 75', with some lots larger) in the 1,200 lot subdivision of Grand Belizean Estates for only $7,500 US per lot. Lush tropical jungle landscaping, high elevation of land, and only 1,500' to the beaches of the Platinum (West) Coast of Ambergris Caye. Grand Belizean Estates is located just 3 miles north of San Pedro Town and is accessible by road or boat.

All land speculators should beware. Laws and regulations can change. The curse of Ambergris Caye, besides a government that does not care, is land speculators. Just be cause someone buys land does not give them rights to build. Developers provide services and infrastructure while land speculators do not, they just bet on the land becoming more valuable. All the Pinkerton Estate was acquired by the GOB under a law that says the land must be for public use. Under the UDP land was given complete with titles to First Corp for resale. This was around the airstrip. When the PUP came in they revoked the titles because of the law. Johnny then sold it all off to other private interests, contrary to law. The GBE land was acquired because two of our locals, Jimbo and Milo concocted a sale of "Mandy's Caye" just to the west of Caye Caulker to Mitchell. Problem was the Island belonged to someone else and the GOB had been pressured to issue title to Jimbo and Milo. With Florencio as Minister the Island was given back to the rightful owners and somehow Mitchell ended up with GBE, all quite illegally of course as the land was acquired for public purpose. I would be very reluctant to invest in such a project that brags about it's substandard sized lots. Minimum distance between septic and well is 100' , can't be done on the size of lots they have. They may find it difficult to get permits to build if we had a correct master plan that was enforced.
We must try to get back the lands that Johnny illegally sold on North Ambergris Caye. I have some attorneys interested in pursuing it but we have no funds.

I think this is better placed on this thread.

I'm new to the discussion but wanted to check on some things. My husband and I will be taking our third trip to Ambergris in Sept. and we're ready to start looking for property. We've decided we want to live on the west side of the island and have found a couple of lots in the Ambergris Bay subdivision. Can anyone tell me if this is in anyway associated with Grand Belizean Estates? thanks.

Ambergris Bay is in not associated with Grand Belizean Estates.

Thanks! We're just starting to look around there and have been reading all of the issues that have come up regarding GBE and wasn't sure. Thanks again for the info! Any suggestions on buying property on the westside?

We will make sure that the voters of this community don't forget who is making this happen and who is continually allowing all of these projects without following the laws of Belze. 5O,OOO dollars Bz and he got all those properties including protected areas. Do the right thing and compensate back to the people of this island with his Costa Del Mar property, Jr.

Gubbie, There are some great houses on the west side and some nice properties but you should really try living over there for a week to see what its like.
The East Coast developing first has a long list of reasons why.
True some of those reasons will be over come with the advent of electricity and road but its a long list.
Try it first and then you will know for yourself.
