The brief

The reason to consider it.

This exceptional 1.534 acre fee simple homesite offers a rare opportunity to build on one of St. Thomas’s most breathtaking stretches of coastline. With over 200 feet of pristine white sand beachfront, the property sits in a front and center position on Sandy Bay, making it truly one of a kind.

The land features gently terraced topography, ideal for designing infinity edge pools, lush gardens, and multiple architectural view corridors. Thirty foot setbacks provide generous building flexibility while preserving privacy, and the parcel’s elevation approximately 38 feet above sea level enhances views and peace of mind.

Located within an exclusive, controlled access community, residents benefit from a 24/7 staffed guardhouse and underground utilities already in place at the lot line, ensuring a seamless path to development.

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
