The brief

The reason to consider it.

“Horizon House” is a charming 1 bdrm x 1 bath cottage situated on the top ridge of popular Upper Carolina neighborhood abutting the National park and offering rare north east views of the BVI’s. The main house was destroyed in the 2017 hurricanes and the remaining guest cottage was tastefully renovated & expanded in 2021 to include a bedroom & kitchen along with solar panels & 2 Tesla batteries (average wapa bill $13 per month!). Perfect opportunity for a couple only needing 1 bdrm and the spacious garage offers plenty of storage. Or the 30k gallon cistern is a great jump start for building a new main house. Deeded access to Johnson’s bay beach. Buyer & Seller to equally split the costs of the transfer stamp tax. Buyer to confirm all cistern capacity, square footages.

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
