The Orchid Bay community in northern Belize boasts over 4,000 feet of frontage on the Caribbean waters of Chetumal Bay and will be home to 300 private residences ranging from seaside casitas and condominiums to half-acre estates. Indigenous flora and fauna, Mayan influences and a pedestrian friendly design characterize residential neighborhoods. Amenities will include an equestrian center complete with a six-acre horse pasture and stables, miles of walking and riding trails, a club house, boat slips, on-site outfitter for excursions, tennis courts, an observatory and concierge services. The beachside cantina will be home to a casual restaurant, a palapa bar, free-form pool, bonfire pit and lounge deck with sunset views. Site construction is well under way, with initial occupancy slated for later this year. Home prices range from $130,000 to $730,000. www.orchidbayliving.com
