The brief

The reason to consider it.

Large, private and quiet sloping hillside homesite with pristine water views to the south, including St. Croix and St. John’s southeastern shoreline over National Park. Fabulous views to the east extend to the BVIs, Le Duck Island, East End, and St. John’s rugged eastern shoreline to Ram’s Head (National Park).

Easy walk to water for swimming, snorkeling, and boating, or hike to Salt Pond Beach. Wonderful eastern exposure to the cooling trade winds. The beach parcel below has been donated to VI National Park.

Buyers may not further subdivide, and development is restricted to residential use with customary appurtenances.

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
