The brief

The reason to consider it.

Located within Luga Aleha, a gated community founded by a group of nature enthusiasts in 1997 to protect this stretch of Bonaire’s dry kunuku interior, this 29.7-acre parcel represents a wonderful opportunity to purchase a substantial parcel of land ideal for building a private estate or family compound.

The property is situated inland between Kralendijk and Rincon, in a landscape that has been carefully looked after ever since. The name, Lugá Alehá, means “a remote place” in Papiamento, and it is easy to see why: the land spans nearly 30 acres (120,021 square meters) of largely untouched terrain, providing buyers with plenty of space to build a private retreat while helping protect one of Bonaire’s most cherished landscapes.

Because Luga Aleha’s rules are built with conservation in mind, at least two-thirds of the property must remain undeveloped, which leaves close to 10 acres (about 40,000 square meters) available for construction. Combined floor area across the lot, including any detached outbuildings, is capped at 350 square meters (3,767 square feet). The community’s statutes also make room for a second dwelling, so owners have the flexibility to add a guest house or space for a family compound, subject to separate approval from local government.

Like much of Luga Aleha, this lot is not connected to the public electricity or water grid, though that is far from unusual on Bonaire and does not mean giving up comfort. Water is delivered by truck, while solar power paired with battery storage has become the standard setup that most residents across the island already rely on.

The HOA is responsible for maintaining Luga Aleha’s internal roads and its two entry gates, one of them automated, since 1997, and there are no ongoing fees to worry about. Access is via the west gate, just a few minutes off the main road between Kralendijk and Rincon, which puts the property about 15 minutes from central Kralendijk and roughly 25 minutes from the gate itself — far enough to feel private, close enough for convenient access to amenities when required.

With nearly 30 acres of protected, off-grid land, combined with building rights, this is a fantastic opportunity to create a private estate in one of Bonaire’s most natural settings. For buyers exploring land for sale in Bonaire, this parcel would make an unspoiled canvas for a family compound or private retreat.
