A Caribbean Bargain
Date: 12/26/2005
La Ceiba, in mainland Honduras, is a coastal town. Here you’re near world-class scuba diving, have cloud forest mountains in the background, and enjoy river rafting, canopy rides, horse riding, and hot springs practically on your doorstep.
La Ceiba is the third-largest city in Honduras. It sits on the north coast, and looks out toward the Caribbean Sea. Most days, you can see some of the Bay Islands--it’s a 15-minute flight to the island of Roatan, where you can dive off the world’s second-largest barrier reef. Utila, where you can swim with a whale shark--the largest and gentlest sea creature you’ll ever see--is a 10-minute flight. On Guanaja, a 20-minute flight, dolphins play in the crystal clear waters around the cays.
I’ve learned of a large house for sale in La Ceiba, minutes from the beach, downtown, and the Cangrejal River…and it’s priced under market value. It’s a two-story, six-bedroom, five-bath house, with lovely gardens and a swimming pool. Behind the house are seven apartments (in two separate buildings). The owner currently rents out the seven apartments and upper level of his house (which has a separate entrance) for $2,000 per month. The asking price for the house and apartments is $480,000.
