0.5 Acre Lot in Carolina, St. John, US Virgin Islands

Not published

The brief

The reason to consider it.

Half acre high above Coral Bay on Bordeaux Mountain. The views from up here are panoramic and breathtaking. This lot is tucked close to the end of a dead end street with little to no drive-by traffic. The Virgin Islands only banana farm is in close proximity and this site one of the best areas for farming with cooler temperatures and high elevation. Expand you footprint for a full acre by purchasing the neighboring lot as well! Plenty or room for staging building materials and road side parking. This really is a lot you need to see to appreciate.

What people say about US Virgin Islands

Sources agree that the US Virgin Islands is simple to enter for Americans, since it is US territory, but costly to run once there.

  • Concern WAPA electricity is expensive and outages are routine; backup power is treated as standard
  • Concern Insurance is a hard market: higher premiums, large percentage windstorm deductibles, trouble for wood-frame homes; flood is separate
  • Mixed Closings are attorney-led, take longer than on the mainland, and need a USVI-licensed lender; surveys matter on irregular hillside lots
  • Mixed Condo costs are driven by windstorm insurance; check reserves and master policy before buying
