A Piece of Ground is for sale.

The story

A Piece of Ground is a 25-bed exclusive-use group accommodation compound on three lots in central Punta Gorda Town, southern Belize. Four buildings — three multi-storey concrete plus one single-storey, all-concrete construction with Belizean hardwood interior finish. Owner-built and operated since 2003.

The compound runs on a one-group-at-a-time model: universities, mission teams, healthcare volunteer cohorts, study-abroad programs. Between groups it fills with single travelers via Airbnb, Booking.com and direct booking, connected through a channel manager.

It's not a yield-driven hospitality investment. It's a working group lodge with a property and a transferable book of business — built for an organization that already brings people to Belize and wants a permanent base instead of a venue rented every year.

The asset

What's on the property

Four private rooms (two queen, one full, one full + bunk), a bunk room with four beds, a 12-pod dormitory, a full working kitchen (staff-operated for group meals), courtyard, and rooftop deck. BTB property license HOT01255 active and transferable. CBA "No Objection to Occupy" letter on file (Aug 2019). Direct booking website (apieceofground.com) with Stripe checkout integrated.

Confirmed group reservations — transferable at closing

Single-traveler OTA revenue runs between groups, estimated $200–$800 USD/month depending on season. Quiet-month run-rate carries the compound at roughly $750–$1,000 USD/month all-in.

Pricing
