The other day we headed out Barton Creek to my friends property to check it out.  At first I was a little curious as to why my friend Mike bought a property a few miles away from town; but as we drove there I found out why.  Driving towards Barton Creek all the way to his property was a site you must see. At every turn you could see peeking hills fill with a diverse blanket of colors of green on all the hills and valleys of the golden oranges orchard in Cool Shade. Cool Shade is a Mennonite community of farmers who work and live there. Further in, Mennonite family community was more visual. You could see the men farming, women working and some children helping others playing. All of them were wearing their traditional clothes and was unique to see that they are still Mennonites that keep their traditions and culture alive.

  When we got there I saw the beauty and charm of Mother Nature in Belize. I saw different colors of birds of all shapes, sizes and bright colors on the trees. Mike has a cabana facing in front the Beautiful creek of Barton Creek.  Mike’s retirement plan to live here in the future, it is wonderful. He and his family can just sit on their verandah and relax to melodies of the creek running over the rocks or taking a cool swim in it. They also can go Horseback riding on the hills or simple enjoy the rainforest in their backyard. He owes all his thanks to Macarena Rose who sold him this piece of paradise in Belize at Rainforest Realty.
